Understanding the two types of XP Cards
XP Cards in COD Mobile come in two distinct forms, each serving a different purpose in your progression. Weapon XP Cards are used exclusively to level up individual weapons. Raising a weapon’s level unlocks attachments, camos, and other Gunsmith options, which directly improves your loadout’s performance. These cards are essential for optimizing your favorite firearms and achieving COD Mobile weapon unlocks faster.
Player XP Cards boost your overall account level. Increasing your player level unlocks new weapons, scorestreaks, perks, and equipment that you can use across all loadouts. While Weapon XP Cards refine a single gun, Player XP Cards expand your entire arsenal and tactical options.
How to get more XP Cards for free
You can earn XP Cards without spending real money through several in-game activities. The most reliable free methods include:
- Completing Tasks: Open the Tasks menu from the lobby. Daily and weekly Tasks often reward XP Cards. You must return to the Tasks menu and tap “Claim” next to each completed Task to collect the reward.
- Battle Pass free tiers: Even the free track of the Battle Pass includes Weapon XP Cards as tier rewards. Play public matches to earn Battle Pass XP and unlock these tiers automatically.
- Daily missions: Check the daily mission list each day. Completing objectives such as earning Medals or playing matches will grant XP Cards.
- Events: Seasonal and limited-time events frequently offer XP Cards as milestone or completion rewards. Participate in event-specific game modes to claim them.
- Purchasing with Credits: In the in-game Store, you can buy Weapon XP Cards using Credits (C) instead of COD Points (CP). Credits are earned through gameplay, making this a free option. You can also purchase Weapon XP Cards using COD Points (CP) or by switching to Credits (C) for a lower cost. XP Cards can be purchased with COD Points, an optional currency bought with real-world money.
- Supply Drops: Opening Supply Drops can contain XP Cards; open the free supply drop every few hours.
- Ranked Play: Ranking up in ranked multiplayer mode rewards players with XP Cards as part of the rank-up rewards.
