In short, players can earn even more experience from missions by completing side objectives or playing on a higher difficulty. Playing on higher difficulties, such as Malice or Heresy increases how much XP you earn to reward you for braving challenging missions. We recommend using this method to boost the rewards and experience earned so that you can level up fast. You should also make sure you are playing with at least three or two friends to manage the higher-difficulty missions.

Beyond hard missions, side objectives or special conditions are the next best option for leveling up fast in Warhammer 40k Darktide. Both mission types increase the amount of experience you get, so you can't go wrong with either one.
