FaZe Vegas sends weapon grinders to DMZ's air base

A fast-starting leveling guide offers alternatives to multiplayer, while viewers question the sniper drop at the finish.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 106,458 views a day, 6 times a normal first day on this channel (17,618).

Driving around an air base is FaZe Vegas' alternative to another session on Shipment. In "Fastest Level Strats AFTER UPDATE," the Call of Duty team's channel offers three routes to weapon XP, including one it jokingly calls "The GTA 6 Method."

That means entering DMZ, equipping the weapon you want to level, finding a vehicle and heading to Chang-san Air Base. The narrator recommends running over respawning NPCs and says the resulting XP counts toward the equipped weapon.

The Short drew roughly 106,000 views in its first day, about six times the channel's usual Shorts audience. It follows other practical uploads about unlocking gold camouflage for sniper rifles and assault rifles.

For players staying in multiplayer, the guide recommends Kill Confirmed or Shipment 24/7, with recon streaks, decoy grenades and kill-focused perks. Its other alternative is a solo run through the story mission "Operation Critical Extraction," using its lightly armored enemies to build weapon XP.

The comments add a useful wrinkle. Some viewers suggest sticking with Shipment, while another asks what decoy grenades contribute to the setup. Several also challenge the narrator's identification of an enemy dropping a high-tier sniper rifle as an NPC, suggesting it was a player instead. One viewer has a more familiar grinding problem: the guide arrived just after an all-night effort to finish leveling every gun.

  • Welp thanks for showing me this right as I finished my all nighter getting every gun max level
  • I don’t understand the purpose of decoy grenades for the first one. I thought stims were the best?
  • that was most definitely an enemy operator that he killed lol, that’s not an NPC dropping ultra weapons
