A new update for November 10, 2026, has hit Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, bringing gameplay adjustments and bug fixes to Multiplayer and DMZ. The latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 patch arrives just as the game enters its first season, with Infinity Ward working to refine the shooter following its October launch.

As detailed in the official Modern Warfare 4 November 10 patch notes, one of the biggest changes concerns DMZ’s Scavenger Bonus and how it rewards fans who might fail an exfil. Players who fail to extract will now receive a cash reward based on the value of items they looted and how long they spent in a deployment, although Story Missions are excluded. Notably, that could make losing a lengthy run less punishing without necessarily removing the risk of failing to exfil. Meanwhile, Infinity Ward has significantly reduced the duration and range of UAVs and Advanced UAVs in MW4‘s newly added X01, while slightly shrinking the Mini Tracker Trait’s radius. Taken together, these DMZ adjustments may help limit how easily players can track one another in the exclusion zone.
