The Souls grind is real for CoD players everywhere, and it’s hard to blame anyone. Ghoulie is an amazing animated camo, and it’s worth the high cost of Souls. So now, it’s time to get grinding, turn on some music, and farm the currency with the fastest way to get Souls in MW2.

Here’s what you should be playing if you want to get Souls quick in MW2 and Warzone.

How Souls work in MW2’s Soul Capture event

Souls are currency used to purchase items in the Soul Capture event in MW2 and Warzone. They can be found in multiplayer or Warzone game modes, and drop from most enemies.

It’s important to note that Souls captured will only count when you finish a game, so don’t back out. Make sure to finish the game you’re in or your Souls will not count and won’t be banked.

Here’s how many Souls you can earn per match in each mode.

Game modeMaximum Souls to earn
MW2 respawn modes (TDM, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint, etc)12 or 18
MW2 Search and Destroy24
Warzone modes (Resurgence, Zombie Royale, DMZ, etc)25

Due to how fast the game ends, we suggest playing respawn modes to farm Souls. Find out more below.

The best and fastest way to farm Souls in MW2 multiplayer is in playlists like Shipment 24/7. This playlist includes quick modes like TDM, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint, Grind, and more.

One of the other ways to help earn Souls faster is the Soul Harvest weapon blueprint for the M4. This special gun is a pre-order bonus for the Modern Warfare 3 Vault Edition only, but kills with the gun will make enemies drop double Souls.

Souls drop from enemies killed in MW2 and Warzone, but they must be picked up. Souls are big, glowing, green skulls that fall when enemies are taken down, and you have to run over them to collect them.

Since Souls captured will only count when you finish a game, that means you can’t hit the Souls Captured cap in a game and back out to get more. You need to let the game come to an end before you can continue grabbing more Souls.

You will hit the cap pretty quickly with this gun, so the idea is to get the Souls in each match faster so you can focus on just playing the game after that.

Fastest Souls farm in MW2 multiplayer

Head into playlists like Shipment 24/7, and modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Kill Confirmed. Grab your kills and make sure to run over the Souls to pick them up ASAP.

Tip:

Spam Shipment 24/7 games. They are over pretty quickly and don’t take much focusing, and Souls are easy to grab because the map is so small.

One important thing to note is that once you kill an enemy and collect their Souls, they will not drop anymore in that match. So, you must kill multiple enemies and collect all of their Souls in any given match to hit the Souls Captured cap.

The Zombie Infected playlist is also great because the matches are super quick, meaning you don’t have to wait long for them to be over. There aren’t many enemies, but this is the fastest time investment in the seasonal event.

Resurgence mode in Warzone may be the best Souls farm there is. Drop into any game of Resurgence and begin looting chests like mad, because Souls have the potential to drop from any loot chests.

Tip:

If all else fails, loot! Souls drop from loot caches and chests across the maps pretty consistently.

There are many high-tier loot boxes (orange loot boxes) at Zaya Observatory, but any loot box will do. And since it’s Resurgence, you can keep coming back and looting (and also killing enemies for their Souls too) to hit the cap in each match. You can then play the match out or die on purpose to drop into another game.
