MW4 unlock levels: what you unlock at each Player Level (1 to 55)

Jump to a level

Pick a level to go to its rows. Nothing in the data unlocks at Player Levels 1 to 3.

All unlocks by level

100 rows, one per unlock. The tables below are split into bands of levels, and a level with several unlocks lists them together: weapons first, then perks, tacticals, lethals, field upgrades and killstreaks.

6 weapons have a different level on Activision's per-weapon sheet than in its unlock table: VEL 46 (sheet: Level 13, table: Level 5), Wz.55 Striga (sheet: Level 21, table: Level 18), Astaroth .57 (sheet: Level 10, table: Level 25), PPSh-41 (sheet: Level 27, table: Level 30), X-58 Nyx (sheet: Level 34, table: Level 46), and Signal 50 (sheet: Level 35, table: Level 50). The unlock table and the progression table (Levels 1 to 55) agree with each other, so this page uses their level. Where Activision's pages disagree.

Unlocks by weapon level, not Player Level

Apex Attachments unlock by levelling their weapon, and the community list reports a weapon level for a few other attachments. Weapon levels are not Player Levels, so these unlocks are not in the table above.

Apex Attachments

Activision lists 28 Apex Attachments. Each unlocks when you fully level its weapon, which takes 37 to 75 weapon levels depending on the weapon.

Attachments with a reported weapon level

Community-reported8 of the 615 standard attachments have a weapon level in the community list. It comes from one site, DMZ Codex, and is unverified.

The level is the weapon level of the weapon named in the row, not a Player Level. Activision has not published MW4 attachment unlock levels. For 607 of the 615 community-reported attachments no weapon level is reported, so their unlock level is not published.

Level not published

Every weapon, perk, tactical, lethal, field upgrade and killstreak in the data has a published Player Level, so none is listed here.

What this page does not cover

• 607 of the 615 community-reported standard attachments have no reported level. Activision has not published its list of standard attachments or when they unlock.
• DMZ has its own 70-level progression track with DMZ-specific rewards. The Level 1 to 55 table above is the Multiplayer progression, and DMZ XP also counts toward it (Activision's progression post).
• Prestige rewards, Weapon Prestige and camos are not in the data.

Player Level reset and Prestige in Season 1

Season 1 launches on November 6, 2026 at 00:00 ET. Activision's Warzone Season 1 post (2 November 2026) lists a "Player Level reset, allowing you to level up and optionally Prestige across Multiplayer, DMZ, and Call of Duty: Warzone" among the changes at launch.

Activision's progression and Prestige post (19 October 2026) describes Prestige. There are 10 Prestige levels and 1,000 Prestige Master levels, and when you finish Level 55 you choose a path each time.

• Classic Prestige resets level unlocks and Create-a-Class progress. In return you get a 20% XP boost, one Permanent Unlock Token and bonus cosmetic rewards.
• Regular Prestige restarts you at Level 1 and keeps all level unlocks and Create-a-Class content.
• A Permanent Unlock Token keeps one level-unlock item of your choice for good, even through later Classic Prestiges.

The Season 1 post does not say how the reset treats levels or unlocks you already earned. This page shows the Level 1 to 55 table from the launch posts and makes no claim about the reset beyond what Activision wrote.
