Currently, the game has Double XP active and hence, it is highly advised to take advantage of this period to earn as much XP as possible and unlock the Blueprint. Note that currently, the MW3 and Warzone Season 5 Week 5 challenges are also live, which can grant you a total of 85,000 XP (Double XP active) for completing all seven challenges in any game mode.

If you complete all seven challenges in all three modes, you'll be earning a total of 255,000 XP. On top of that, you'll also gain XP from simply playing a match. Hence if you like the Blueprint, it is advised to complete all the weekly challenges while the Double XP is active to unlock the Blueprint quickly.

If you miss the Double XP period, don't worry. You can take advantage of Double XP tokens that were awarded to fans as a part of the Community Gift Pack in MW3 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded.

That said, however, it is worth noting here that the Animal Instinct Blueprint will be available in the games for a limited time only. As soon as the Wildlife Most Wanted event ends on August 28, 2024, it will become unobtainable and forever out of your reach.
