Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 features two limited-time events, a Double XP weekend, and a major weapon balance update. Joint Fire offers up to 5x squad XP, while Wager Match introduces Trophy rewards and exclusive weapon attachments. The November 13 update also improves several assault rifles, SMGs, and LMGs.
For players collecting CoD MW4 DMZ Items, the latest Resupply Run and X01 fixes are also worth knowing. Here are the important dates, rewards, and gameplay changes.

Players targeting weapon upgrades should prioritize the ten-reward milestone. Six additional rewards will be revealed on November 18.
4. November 13 Weapon Buffs and Balance Changes
The latest weapon update reduces flinch and extends damage ranges across several weapon classes.
Flinch Adjustments

|---|---|---|
| Assault Rifles | -25.4% | -7.8% |
| LMGs | -19.3% | -13.3% |

Assault Rifle Buffs
| Weapon | Main Changes |
|---|---|
| M4 | Maximum damage range: 27.94m → 35.31m |
| Patriot XMR | Minimum damage: 22 → 24; velocity: 620 → 640m/s |
| Hyeon Burst | Maximum range: 21.34m → 22.86m |
| Cronen Squall | Mid-range: 37.34m → 43.18m |
| Kastov 762 | Maximum range: 26.67m → 28.7m |
| Oden | Mid-range: 50.04m → 58.42m |
| HAN 86 | Maximum range: 30.48m → 32m |
| Axion | Mid-range: 38.61m → 40.13m |
The M4 receives a 26% increase in maximum damage range, making it one of the most noticeable AR changes.
SMG Buffs
| Weapon | Main Changes |
|---|---|
| Wz.55 Striga | Maximum range: 11.94m → 14.61m; mid-range: 21.34m → 28.7m |
| PPSh-41 | Maximum range: 10.8m → 13.34m; minimum damage: 13 → 14 |
| ISO Nightshade | Mid-range: 20.45m → 22.99m; minimum damage: 14 → 16 |
| CSG-35 | Minimum damage: 13 → 14 |
| X-58 Nyx | Maximum range: 10.8m → 11.94m |
The Wz.55 Striga receives the largest listed SMG range increase, while the PPSh-41 and ISO Nightshade gain more consistent minimum damage.
Other Weapon Changes
- FiNN LMG Adverse Apex: Maximum range increases from 15.98m to 21.34m. Arm and hand multipliers increase from 0.86 to 1.0.
- Krait P68: Headshot multiplier increases from 1.3 to 1.4, and minimum damage rises from 30 to 32.
- .50 GS: Minimum damage increases from 45 to 46.
- Rezi 12: Mid-range damage distances receive increases.
- Mosin-Nagant: Maximum damage increases from 93 to 95, while its highest damage range decreases from 40.13m to 14.99m. Its 93-damage tier now reaches 44.96m, followed by an 86-damage tier extending to 58.42m.
5. Smoke Grenade Aim Assist Changes
Aim assist is now disabled when shooting through smoke from Smoke Grenades or the Smoke Wall Field Upgrade. This also applies to gaps created by gunfire and explosions.
Controller players must rely more on manual tracking when engaging enemies through smoke. Use smoke for repositioning, crossing exposed areas, and breaking enemy sightlines rather than relying on assisted targeting.
6. DMZ Resupply Run and X01 Fixes
The November 13 update addresses several DMZ progression issues:
- Weapon Manuals, Recipes, and Dog Tags now convert correctly when deploying to X01 from Hajin.
- X01 Legendary Ingredients now sell for money instead of materials.
- Operator and weapon insurance issues after certain X01 deaths have been fixed.
- Completed 3D Printer recipes can now be untracked in the FOB.
- Resupply Run menus received usability fixes.
In Resupply Run, collect requested items from points of interest and deliver them to the Events station for equipment such as Self Revives and 3-Plate Carriers.
Check the requested materials before selling your inventory. Prioritize nearby collection points and complete several objectives in one deployment to reduce unnecessary trips.
7. Emerald Reaper Starter Pack
The Emerald Reaper Starter Pack became available on November 13.
It includes:
- 500 COD Points
- Ozone Operator Skin
- Malachite Weapon Blueprin
- Greens Eat You Sticker
- Finders Keepers Sticker
- Gem Heart Weapon Charm
- One Vinyl
The bundle is reactive. Purchases made through console or Steam stores are not cross-platform.
The November Season 1 updates provide several useful progression opportunities. Joint Fire offers the fastest event XP multiplier for full squads, Wager Match rewards players with weapon attachments, and the Double XP weekend helps accelerate weapon leveling.
The M4, Wz.55 Striga, PPSh-41, and FiNN LMG Adverse Apex are among the weapons worth testing after the latest balance changes. DMZ players can also benefit from the improved Resupply Run system and corrected X01 item conversions.
Combining event progression, weapon leveling, and resource collection is an efficient way to advance through Season 1. Many players lack the extra time to level up in-game due to work, studies, or other commitments. MW4 Bot Lobbies and boosting services offer an excellent solution, helping players overcome challenges so they can truly enjoy the game. What are you waiting for?!
