    You can play normally and you'll eventually get to level 55. However, to speed things up you'll want to take advantage of Double XP weekends when they occur, and more importantly the available challenges.

    When you're in a multiplayer menu, press the cn_start button on your controller and press RB to go to challenges. Navigate to the "Multiplayer" section, and you should see a screen showing those challenges which you are nearest to completing and overall progress. Each challenge you complete rewards you with a nice bunch of XP - have a look around this section of the menu and look for challenges that you think would be easiest for you and go for them in game. This might mean you need to frequently switch game modes, specialists and weapons to earn as many as possible. In most cases, you'll earn challenges through normal play, but they'll become less frequent if you don't switch things up.

    To keep it simple, just take notice of the challenge which is listed as "Nearest to completing" and aim for that. Once it's completed, you'll see the next one to go for.

    As KILLER1NST1NCTS suggested, consider jumping into Domination mode to start things off, since it is one of the quickest way of getting the objective type challenges.

    Have fun!

    II RENEGADE IIPlaying this game in 2023 and this achievement didn’t unlock when I reached level 55 (or when I prestiged). Going to try to get up to 55 again on Prestige 1 I suppose

    II RENEGADE IIUpdate: I got all the way up to Prestige 1 Level 55, and it didn't pop again. I was frustrated and did the "Fresh Start" option that wipes all of your multiplayer progress back to like you've never played a single match, leveled all the way up to 55 again, and finally got it to unlock. Third time's a charm! If it bugs out on anyone else, you still have hope - just have to do it all over again after Fresh Start.

    As of 30/04/23, the servers of BO3 are dead and finding a game will be difficult, especially factoring in grinding to reach level 55. Other than boosting in a group of 6 on hardcore CTF, this achievement is extremely difficult and tedious.

    However, there is a glitch to getting into a custom game, but being able to get XP as if in a normal MP game. The video attached will detail how to do the glitch.

    To speed up levelling up, I’d advise having lots of classes pre-build and always aiming for headshots when getting kills (you will need at least 1 boosting partner) as the headshot challenges for camos (and specialists) will speed the process up.

    Viva VizionzThis worked like a charm. Used an Xbox series x and an Xbox one, I did the glitch on the one cause it seemed like you had a larger time window to press the custom game to get the glitched lobby. Takes about 30 Minutes from level 1 to level 55.

    The easiest way I found to get this achievement is to play on "Nuk3town" (It's a DLC map) during double experience points weekend. To find the map, go to multiplayer, bonus, and the click on "Nuk3town". I was able to get between 20-40k per game, and if your team wins then you get even more points. It should take you about 10 hours or less to get the achievement if you are playing during double experience points.

    The Nuk3town is a bonus multiplayer map that comes with new copy of the game. If you got the game used then it might not be included. I included a video if you are not familiar with the map.
