Earn XP to progress through 55 Levels, unlocking Weapons, Equipment, Perks, Killstreaks, and more.

A Note on DMZ

In Modern Warfare 4, DMZ features its own distinct Level Unlock progression track that is separate from the Level 1-55 Multiplayer progression system. As players earn DMZ XP by completing Story Missions, Dynamic Operations, Side Ops, and other activities, they will progress through 70 levels, unlocking DMZ-specific rewards along the way including new Gear and Stations, Station Upgrades, 3D Printer Recipes, Operator Skins, Consumables, Fire Support (Killstreaks), Survival Kits, and more.

XP earned while playing DMZ also contributes to your overall 1-55 Player Progression, but XP earned in Multiplayer or Call of Duty®: Warzone™ does not contribute to your DMZ Level.

For more information on DMZ progression, check out our in-depth article, How to Play DMZ, Part 2: Tour of Duty — Forward Operating Base, as well as the complete DMZ Progression Appendix at the end of this blog.

Leveling Up: From Private to Commander

The first step in your Modern Warfare 4 journey begins with a simple goal: climb through the military designations from Private I (Level 1) to Commander (Level 55) by earning XP across Multiplayer, DMZ, and starting in Season 1, Call of Duty: Warzone.

Earn XP by playing matches and eliminating enemies, playing the objective, and completing challenges. Each level unlocks foundational rewards that expand your Loadout options with new gear and tactical options so you can further home in on the content that works best for your style of play.

As you progress through the military ranks, you’ll unlock the following types of content:

Multiplayer Player Level Unlocks

Unlocks: Expect one or more unlocks every time you level up, from Level 1-55
Loadouts: Default and Custom
Weapons: Primary and Secondary Weapons
Equipment: Lethals and Tacticals
Field Upgrades
Perks
Killstreaks

Call of Duty: Warzone Integration Note: Modern Warfare 4 Level Unlocks will become accessible in Call of Duty: Warzone when Season 1 releases shortly after launch.

DMZ Player Level Unlocks

Unlocks: Expect one or more unlocks every time you level up, from Level 1-70
Station Unlocks: Access new Stations within the FOB
Station Upgrades: Unlock additional capabilities across various Stations within the FOB. Further Station upgrades can be accessed via the 3D Printer.
Recipes: Craft new items at the 3D Printer
Operator Skins
Items: Unlock the following Items:
Consumables

Level Unlocks Appendix: For a complete list of every piece of content you’ll unlock while leveling up, see the Multiplayer and DMZ Level Unlocks Appendices at the end of this article.

Prestige

Career / Progression / Prestige

Modern Warfare 4 offers 10 levels of Prestige and 1,000 Prestige Master levels. For the first time in a Call of Duty game, players can now choose from two distinct Prestige paths: Classic Prestige and Regular Prestige.

Classic and Regular Prestige

Whether you prefer the traditional reset-and-rebuild structure of Classic Prestige or a more flexible progression path that preserves unlocked content, both systems deliver long-term rewards, progression milestones, and new ways to level up across Multiplayer and beyond.

Classic Prestige delivers the traditional Prestige experience, resetting level unlocks and Create-a-Class progress in exchange for a 20% XP boost, one Permanent Unlock Token, and bonus cosmetic rewards.
Regular Prestige allows players to restart progression from Level 1 while keeping all level unlocks and Create-a-Class content intact, offering a more flexible progression path.

Upon completing Level 55, you are given the option to choose your Prestige path. Each time you complete a new Prestige Level, you are given the option again to select either the Classic or Regular Track when entering the next Prestige Level.

A majority of the Prestige rewards are shared by both Prestige paths, though players on the Classic Track will earn bonus rewards.

Permanent Unlocks

Players who select the Classic Prestige Track will earn one Permanent Unlock Token that allows you to permanently unlock a single Level Unlock item of your choice from the available Loadout items.

For example, a player enters Prestige 1, having earned a Permanent Unlock Token for selecting the Classic Track. Because their rank is reset to 1, they will have to reach Level 48 again to re-unlock the Throwing Knife. Or they can choose to spend their Permanent Unlock Token on the Throwing Knife, keeping it accessible to them throughout the remainder of their entire leveling journey, even if (and when) they enter Classic Prestige again in the future.

Note: When choosing which progression item to spend a Permanent Unlock Token on, consider prioritizing Perks, Field Upgrades, Killstreaks, and Equipment over Weapons. Whenever you acquire a Weapon Blueprint from the Store or in a seasonal Battle Pass, the base version of the weapon will become permanently available throughout your entire leveling journey.

Modern Warfare 4 Prestige 1 Revealed

In Modern Warfare 4, each Prestige Level features content inspired by a different Infinity Ward title. See the Loading Screen reward in each Prestige Level progression track to see that Prestige Level’s point of reference.

Earn Prestige Master rewards every five to ten Levels up to Level 99 and then unlock additional rewards every 25 Levels until you reach Level 1,000 and become a Prestige Legend.

Prestige Master Icons

Beginning at Prestige Master Level 100, and every 100 Levels thereafter on the way to Prestige Legend, players will unlock additional sets of legacy Prestige icons from past Call of Duty games across the entire franchise, including the new Modern Warfare 4 Prestige icons. Equipping one of these Legacy Prestige Icons replaces your current Prestige Master icon.

The ultimate rewards for reaching Prestige Legend? Those are .

Weapon Camos

Create a Class / Edit Custom Class / Camo Select

Unlock Camos that can be equipped to your Loadout Weapons in Gunsmith.

In Modern Warfare 4, Weapon Camo progress begins with the basics: level up your weapon. Whether you’re playing Multiplayer or DMZ (and starting at Season 1, Call of Duty: Warzone), you’ll begin working your way toward unlocking the initial Military Camos. By tying these Camos to your Weapon Level, you are rewarded no matter what your playstyle.

Tip: Get an early start on the Weapon Camo grind with the release of DMZ Early Access on October 20 for digital pre-orders and pre-purchases! Level up your weapons and earn Attachments and Camos that will be available in Multiplayer at the game’s official launch on October 23.

Military Camos

Every weapon begins its Camo journey with the Military Camos. There are eight Military Camos in all, each one unlocked sequentially at escalating Weapon Level milestones. Because the Military Camos are tied to Weapon Level, they must be individually unlocked on each weapon. The required Weapon Level to unlock the different Military Camos varies between each weapon, taking its Max maximum Weapon Level into account.

Each weapon has individual unlock access to the same eight Military Camos, numbered 1 through 8 (Military Camo 1, Military Camo 2, etc.). As long as you’re using the weapon, you benefit from unlocking Military Camos, granting greater flexibility in how you approach the early Camo grind.

For example:

Han 86 Assault Rifle Military Camo Unlock Criteria. This occurs no matter which game mode you are playing (Multiplayer or DMZ), and you accrue Military Camos as you level up the weapon between 1 and 72. Other weapons have different unlock levels.

Military Camo 1: Reach Weapon Level 10.
Military Camo 2: Reach Weapon Level 18.
Military Camo 3: Reach Weapon Level 25.
Military Camo 4: Reach Weapon Level 34.
Military Camo 5: Reach Weapon Level 42.
Military Camo 6: Reach Weapon Level 50.
Military Camo 7: Reach Weapon Level 57.
Military Camo 8: Reach Weapon Level 65.

Special Camos

Each weapon additionally features three Special Weapon Camos that are unique to every weapon, and once completed, join a universal pool of Camos accessible to all other weapons. Reach the required Weapon Level to gain access to the Special Camo Challenges, tasking you with combat-specific objectives like landing a certain number of double kills, mounted kills, longshots, headshots, and other gameplay challenges.

Modern Warfare 4 features a single Weapon Camo grind that is shared across all modes, and the Special Camo Challenges will automatically adjust to the specific mode you are playing. Because non-player targets count in DMZ, Special Camo Challenges typically require a higher kill count in that extraction mode compared to Multiplayer or Call of Duty: Warzone. Once you complete the challenge in any mode, the Special Camo will be available in all modes. Play the mode of your choosing and get rewarded.

Two examples:

Han 86 Assault Rifle Special Camo Unlock Criteria:

Smoke: Get player kills while the weapon is Mounted. Challenge unlocked at Weapon Level 25.

20 Kills for Multiplayer.
75 Kills for DMZ.

Stormwave: Get player kills while using a silencer. Challenge unlocked at Weapon Level 46.

50 Kills for Multiplayer.
125 Enemy Kills in DMZ.

Red: Get player kills with a specific criteria, depending on the mode.. Challenge unlocked at Weapon Level 72 (Max Weapon Level for the Han 86).

3 Player Kills without dying for Multiplayer.
3 Enemy Kills without taking damage 50 times for DMZ.

Sang 9mm Pistol Special Camo Unlock Criteria:

Autumn: Get player kills while Aiming Down Sights. Challenge unlocked at Weapon Level 13.

25 in Multiplayer.
75 Enemy Kills in DMZ.

Snakeskin: Get player kills with a specific criterion. Challenge unlocked at Weapon Level 25:

3 Kills without Dying 5 times in Multiplayer.
3 Enemy Kills without taking damage 15 times in DMZ.

Space Time: Get player kills using Akimbo. Challenge unlocked at Weapon Level 38 (Max Weapon Level for the Sang 9mm).

50 Player Kills while using Akimbo in Multiplayer.
125 Enemy Kills while using Akimbo in DMZ.

The specific number of eliminations required in each of the above challenges will change based on the mode you are playing. As you unlock Special Camos, your Shared Camo pool will grow, encouraging players to level up a variety of weapons.

Completionist Camos

Once you have unlocked all eight Military Camos and three Special Camos for a weapon, you gain access to the Completionist Camos. As with Special Camos, Completionist Camos all feature Camo Challenges that the player must fully complete before unlocking the Camo.

Gold Completionist Camo

Complete all Military and Special Camo Challenges to unlock. Then:

Execute 15 eliminations in a single Multiplayer match.
Or 100 eliminations in a DMZ match.

Platinum Completionist Camo

Complete all Gold Camo Challenges in the same weapon class to unlock this challenge. For example, with Assault Rifles, you must have completed 8 Gold Camo Challenges using Assault Rifles before starting on Platinum. All Platinum Camo Challenges are unique per weapon class, as follows:

Assault Rifles: Get Headshots
SMGs: Get Kills from Behind
Shotguns: Get Hipfire Kills.
LMGs: Get Play Kills without Dying
Marksman Rifles: Get Player Kills while Prone
Sniper Rifles: Get Player Kills while Prone
Pistols: Get Player Kills from Behind
Launchers: Get Player Kills without Taking Damage

For example, to unlock the Platinum Camo for the Han 86 Assault Rifle, you would complete all 8 Gold Camo Challenges for all Assault Rifles (including the Han 86), then complete the Platinum Camo Challenge, wholly or partly in Multiplayer or DMZ:

Multiplayer: Get 50 Headshots against Players.
DMZ: Get 100 Headshots against Enemies.

Harmonic Break Completionist Camo

Complete all the Platinum Camo Challenges before access to the Harmonic Break Camo Challenges is granted. All Like Platinum, all Harmonic Break Camo Challenges are unique per weapon class, as follows:

Assault Rifles: Get Double Kills
SMGs: Get Hipfire Kills
Shotguns: Get Player Kills without Reloading
LMGs: Get Player Kills without Releasing the Trigger
Marksman Rifles: Get One Shot Kills
Sniper Rifles: Get One Shot Kills
Pistols: Get Hipfire Kills
Launchers: Get Player Kills

For example, to unlock the Harmonic Break Camo for the Han 86 Assault Rifle, you would complete all Platinum Camo Challenges for 33 weapons (including the Han 86), then complete the Harmonic Break Camo Challenge, wholly or partly in Multiplayer or DMZ:

Multiplayer: Get 25 Double Kills against Players.
DMZ: Get 50 Double Kills against Enemies.

Divergence Completionist Camo

The Divergence Weapon Camo is awarded for completing 33 Harmonic Break Challenges. Unlocking this Completionist Camo gives players access to the Mastery 1 Camo Challenges.

Mode Mastery Camos

For the dedicated weapon specialists who complete all Military, Special, and Completionist Weapon Camo Challenges, the Camo Grind enters its final stage with Mastery Camos. Mastery Camos are game mode specific, with three Multiplayer, three DMZ, and starting in Season 1, three Call of Duty: Warzone Mastery Camo Challenges.

Here’s a more detailed look at each Mastery Camo in Multiplayer and DMZ:

Weapon Prestige and Weapon Prestige Camos

Create a Class / Edit Custom Class

Every weapon class in Modern Warfare 4 includes an optional Weapon Prestige journey that becomes available after reaching a weapon’s Max Level. There are four Prestige Weapon Camos to earn throughout your weapon Prestige journey, though all are facets of the evolving Weapon Camo called “Pyroclast.”

Weapon Leveling

The first part of progression involves leveling up your weapons as normal:

Start Leveling: Use the weapon in Multiplayer and DMZ to earn Weapon XP and level up the weapon.
Unlock Attachments: Unlock a new Attachment for the weapon every time it gains a level, giving you more options in Gunsmith.
Reach Maximum Weapon Level: Once your weapon reaches Max Level, you are given the option to enter into Weapon Prestige.

Weapon Prestige 1

Once you reach Max Level with your weapon, you can choose to enter Weapon Prestige. When entering Weapon Prestige, the following occurs:

Level and Attachment Reset: Reset your Weapon Level back to 1 and relock all attachments except for Apex Attachments and Weapon Blueprint Attachments.
New Icon: A new Weapon Prestige icon will appear in Gunsmith and on the Killcam.
Prestiging a weapon does not relock Shared Attachments on other weapons.
Weapon Customization (Blueprints, Camos, Reticles, Accessories, Decals, and Stickers) are maintained and not reset when Prestiging your Weapon.

Pyroclast Camo

Unlock Criteria: Reach Weapon Prestige 1 Level 1.

Pyroclast Terminus Camo

Unlock Criteria: Reach Weapon Prestige 1 Max Level.

Weapon Prestige Master

Once you’ve reached Max Level again in Weapon Prestige 1, you will automatically enter into Master Prestige. The Weapon Level does not reset to 1 and you keep all earned attachments. Instead, you will continue to gain Weapon Levels earning up to two Prestige Master Camos. Entering Weapon Prestige Master also unlocks a new Weapon Prestige Master icon in Gunsmith and viewable in the Killcam.

Pyroclast Scatter Camo

Unlock Criteria: Reach Weapon Prestige Master Level 150.

Pyroclast Cascade Camo

Unlock Criteria: Reach Weapon Prestige Master Level 250.

The Modern Warfare 4 Weapon Prestige system offers deep progression with every weapon, rewarding your efforts along the way as you gain total mastery over your favorite armaments. To speed up the process, activate earned Double Weapon XP Tokens throughout the weapon leveling process.

Reticle Challenges

Create a Class > Edit Custom Class > Gunsmith > Appearance > Reticle Select

Modern Warfare 4 features multiple styles of Optic Attachments, including the Mini Reflex, Reflex, Holo, 4x Scope, Marksman Scope, and Rifle Scope, with thermal and non-thermal options for Holo, 4x Scope, Marksman Scope, and Rifle Scope Optics. Each Optic Attachment you equip features multiple unlockable Reticles, including color variations. Here’s how the process works:

Step 1: Gain access to Reticle Challenges by first equipping an unlocked Optic Attachment to your Weapon. Optics are unlocked at certain Weapon Level milestones. Check a weapon’s Progression tab in Gunsmith for more intel.
Step 2: Once you’ve equipped an Optic, head to the “Appearance > Reticle” section of the Gunsmith menu to view the unlockable Reticles for the equipped Optic.
Step 3: Earn the required number of eliminations while aiming down sights to unlock the next Reticle.

Some Reticles include multiple color variants of the same design. All associated color variants will unlock at the same time.

Progress is universal across all modes, whether you’re playing Multiplayer, DMZ, or starting in Season 1, Call of Duty: Warzone. Once you’ve unlocked a Reticle on a specific Optic, it will be available on that Optic in all modes. Reticle unlock progress is specific to each individual Optic Attachment, but because the vast majority of Optics are Shared Attachments, you will be able to continue making Reticle unlock progress on all compatible weapons.

Daily Challenges

Career > Challenges

Complete Daily Challenges in Multiplayer to earn XP payouts that will help you move more quickly through the Player Level track. Complete all three Daily Challenges to earn a hefty XP bonus. At the start of Season 1, complete an additional set of Daily Challenges in Call of Duty: Warzone.

Reroll: Once per day, players can reroll one of the three available Daily Challenges. A new Daily Challenge will be chosen to replace it, giving you some control over your playstyle for the day.

Calling Card Challenges

Career / Challenges / Calling Cards

Earn hundreds of Calling Cards to show off your prowess across game modes and in different combat situations. At launch, Calling Card Challenges are sorted into the following categories:

Regular Calling Card Challenges

Multiplayer Mastery: Objective, War, Capture Zone, Bomb, Cash, Dog Tag

Shared Mode Mastery: Combat, Loadout, Collection, Mobility Course

Elite Calling Card Challenges

Elite Multiplayer Mastery: Ground Zero, Winner, Melee, Executions

Calling Card Categories, Sets, and Cards

Each of the different Mastery categories features its own collection of Mastery Sets to complete.

Within the Objective Mastery Set, there are six Calling Card challenges: four Tiered Challenges and two non-tiered Challenges.

A showcase of Multiplayer Calling Cards.

Tiered vs. Non-Tiered Challenges

In Tiered Challenges, players must complete the same task over an escalating number of times. For example, win 20/60/150/300 Multiplayer Matches to unlock all four Calling Cards in the Victorious! Tiered Challenge of the Objective Mastery Set. The different Calling Cards in a Tiered Challenge share the same general design but are presented with different colors and styles.

Check Your Progress

Check the right side of the screen for progress details while searching through the various Calling Card Mastery Sets and Challenges. When selecting a Mastery Set, you will see your progress for all related Sets or Challenges required to complete that Mastery Set.
