Every time your "1st Hour" bonus expires - you can go to dashboard and change time zones until the calendar date changes. Play for another hour - switch time zone back, rinse repeat. constant 1.5 EXP (3x EXP on double exp weekends).
The fastest way to level up legitimately is to use the UAV as an engineer. So if you can't get 8 people for squad matches - this is your best bet. Don't worry about kills - you want your team to get kills on people you have highlighted. 1 kill is worth 50(75) points (unless you are in cover) - an Intel assist is worth 200(300). Sensor grenades also work for these. Be sure to stun and hack whenever you can as mentioned above. Another benefit is that having Engineers that are good with the drone helps the whole team, and usually results in a win for bonus exp.
Look where your team is heading and keep the drone around them so there is always someone to shoot at the people you highlight. Also note - the UCAV at level 40 doesn't highlight enemies at all - it is meant for attacking, but is only good for about 2 kills before its out of ammo.
Note - if you tap LB your done will stay parked where you left it - you don't have to recall it by holding LB all the time. On certain indoor maps, you can easily hide the drone near objectives with a good view of the approach and every kill will be an intel assist. Also- if someone else on your team is using a UAV - you should focus on kills until their UAV is destroyed. Everyone in a UAV with no one killing the highlighted enemies means no xp for anyone.
If you don't like Engineers - the OTR Scanner on the scout also works for highlighting enemies and getting intel assists - but since you have to actually stick your head out to aim, its not as easy as hiding and driving the drone as an engineer. Another great scout tactic is to resist the urge to take Augmented camo and go with Stun Claymores. Place these in high traffic areas for easy stun and hacks, which will net you tons of XP (and possible rage quits by the other team).
The Rifleman is great for kills - but harder to get huge bonus EXP. If you are determined to get to 50 with them, the ammo box is great for teammates - and once you have the underbarrel grenade launcher - you can literally spam grenades and reload yourself with the ammo box for tons of kill - having an engineer to highlight enemies at the same itme helps you rack up kills - which is a win for you and the engineer.
