The Beta closed on 2026-09-01. Beta weapon progress does not carry into the full game (launching 2026-10-23) — only account-bound rewards like the Beta Forged blueprint do. Levels shown are the official launch unlock ladder; Create-a-Class opens at Player Level 4.

Every weapon name, class, Player Level unlock, weapon level cap and Apex Attachment name on this page comes from Activision's official launch weapons guide (19 October 2026), cross-checked against its level-by-level progression table. Nothing unconfirmed is listed.

MW4 weapons FAQ

How many weapons are confirmed for Modern Warfare 4?

All 33 launch weapons are confirmed with their official Player Level unlock: 8 Assault Rifles, 5 SMGs, 2 Shotguns, 3 LMGs, 3 Marksman Rifles, 3 Sniper Rifles, 4 Pistols, 4 Launchers and 1 Melee weapon.

Does MW4 Beta weapon progress carry over to launch?

No. Weapon levels and unlocks from the Beta reset at launch on 2026-10-23. Account-bound rewards — the Beta Forged blueprint and milestone rewards — do carry over.

How does progression work in Modern Warfare 4?

You climb 55 military ranks, then choose Classic Prestige (resets Create-a-Class unlocks for higher XP rates) or Regular Prestige (keeps everything). After 10 Prestiges you become Prestige Master and can level to 1000.

What are Apex Attachments?

An Apex Attachment is unlocked by fully levelling a weapon. It sits in its own slot next to the standard Gunsmith attachments and changes how the weapon behaves — alternate fire modes, integrated launchers, stealth kits — rather than tweaking stats. Every Primary Weapon and Pistol has exactly one; Launchers and the FSS Carbon Edge 1095 knife have no Gunsmith and no Apex.
