Black Ops Cold War Zombies gives less XP for weapons than any of the Multiplayer game modes. The trade off here is the sheer amount of enemies available in Zombies.

The threat of the undead outweighs any number of human opponents within Multiplayer. This works especially well if kills are a struggle in typical MP. Just aim for the head and lay into the Zombies for some quick weapon leveling.

It is a bit controversial, as PC and Xbox players feel left behind. Regardless of that, PlayStation players get more weapon XP in Black Ops Cold War. That's a fact.

While in a party with at least one other player, users on PS4 or PS5 get double the amount of weapon XP. This PlayStation specific benefit comes alongside things like extra loadout slots and first dibs on a different Zombies mode.
