Modern Warfare 4 is here! Thank you for all the love at launch. The team is currently working on a series of updates that we’ll be releasing over the coming days, including upcoming Multiplayer Patch Notes. Stay tuned for more.

Weapons

We’re looking closely at weapon performance across Modern Warfare 4. As a reminder we have bespoke weapon tuning in both Multiplayer and DMZ. We are already looking at potential weapon tuning for next week.

Apex Attachments

Where did they go? In the Beta we included a few early seasonal event Apex and weapon attachments to make sure they were fun, balanced, and performed the way we wanted.

Don’t worry! They will return soon.

MULTIPLAYER
