MW4 · Patch notes
MW4 update November 7, 2026
Bug fixes with no balance changes: X01 bounty levels, Last Stand kills by DMZ bosses, Gunship removal, and a known Steam crash with a workaround.
Highlights
- No weapon tuning in this update, only fixes.
- DMZ: player kills in X01 no longer raise your Bounty Level more than intended.
- DMZ: the Captain and Colossus could finish off players in Last Stand who could still be revived. Fixed.
- Multiplayer: your Gunship killstreak no longer disappears when you die.
- Map voting now handles playlists with three map and mode options, such as Shransit.
DMZ
- SAM Sites at Chang-san Military Base no longer shoot down players who just paid for a Light Helo infil.
- Destroying the boat too early in Operation Fallen Ember no longer blocks the mission.
- Wheelson Commander turrets stop rotating once disabled by DDoS or a Shock Stick.
Multiplayer
- Field Upgrade equipment is no longer lost on certain surfaces on Lithium.
- Using a Battle Pass token now carries progress into the next tier.
- Players no longer get stuck on the scoreboard after Hardcore matches.
Known issues at the time
- Platinum camo challenges weren’t tracking for the Cronen Osprey and CSG-35 (fixed November 10).
- Some PC players on Steam crashed at launch after the Season 1 update. The suggested fix was to verify game files in Steam, and if that failed, do a clean reinstall.
