Infinity Ward has released a new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 update on November 10, introducing gameplay adjustments and bug fixes across Multiplayer and DMZ. One of the biggest changes affects DMZ’s X01 area, where UAVs and Advanced UAVs have been disabled entirely following earlier tuning adjustments. The update also reduces the Mini Tracker Trait’s radius and introduces a Scavenger Bonus that rewards players with cash based on their looted items and deployment duration when they fail to extract successfully.
Multiplayer receives improvements to aim-down-sights sensitivity transitions, alongside fixes for the Ghost Perk incorrectly hiding players firing unsuppressed weapons and enemy nameplates appearing through objects. The patch also addresses weapon animation issues, Killstreak markers, and several stability problems. Infinity Ward has additionally confirmed fixes for camouflage challenge tracking and Map Voting, following earlier Season 1 updates released on November 7.
