Their detailed specifications, blueprints and Apex effects come from the official Vault Edition guide.

Read the official Open Beta guide →MW4 Beta updates through August 25
Infinity Ward’s August 22–24 weapon updates adjusted the ISO Nightshade, Oris 8.6, Han 86, Kastov 762, M4, PPSh-41, MAR-9, attachments and Frangible Rounds. The August 24 pass raised the minimum time-to-kill across the tuned weapons. The August 25 update improved spawn logic in every mode except Hardpoint, with more Hardpoint tuning planned for Weekend 2. These are Beta changes, not final launch stats.
Read the official Beta patch notes →Gunsmith, Gunny and Apex Attachments
Modern Warfare 4 brings back Gunsmith inside a redesigned Create-a-Class. Standard attachments are shared across weapons in the same class, while Gunny can automatically assemble close-, mid- or long-range configurations. An Apex Attachment is earned by fully progressing its weapon and changes that weapon in a more substantial way than a standard attachment. Activision details the system in the official Multiplayer deep dive.
DMZ uses its own confirmed loadout rules: a weapon can carry up to five standard attachments plus one Apex Attachment, and higher-capacity weapons with eight attachments can be found during a deployment. See Activision’s official DMZ deep dive for the mode-specific details.
MW4 Max All Guns and weapon leveling
Max All Guns means fully progressing every eligible Modern Warfare 4 launch weapon so its standard attachments and any applicable Apex progression are available. Activision confirms that weapon progression is shared between Multiplayer and DMZ and describes full weapon progression as the route to Apex Attachments. Four ranged Apex names and effects are published; the Combat Knife’s Apex details remain unannounced. Infinity Ward has also acknowledged questions about weapon progression and says more leveling and grind details are coming.
The launch count is 33, but the names of the 11 weapons outside the Beta roster, maximum level for each gun, XP required per level and fastest completion time have not been published. Activision confirms that Beta player level and weapon unlocks reset after the test; eligible cosmetic Beta rewards carry into launch. Our planned MW4 Max All Guns service will use the final in-game requirements rather than estimating those numbers now. Weapon leveling and mastery camo unlocking are separate goals: leveling opens attachments and Apex configurations; camos follow mode-specific challenge ladders whose exact requirements remain unpublished.
MW4 Max All Guns is planned for launch — track Bot Lobbies, weapon-leveling and camo-service availability as the final rules are published →For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (2026), Activision confirms 33 weapons at launch and names 22 of them in the Beta across Assault Rifles, SMGs, Shotguns, LMGs, Marksman Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Pistols, Launchers and Melee.

This running MW4 weapon guide covers the 2026 Infinity Ward game, not Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) or Modern Warfare (2019). It separates the 22 first-party-named Beta weapons from footage-only identifications and leak lists. When Activision names the remaining 11 launch weapons and publishes per-weapon progression, this page will expand without changing its URL. Until then, our live Black Ops 7 weapon list shows how the finished per-weapon guide will work.
