Career / Progression / MP Level Unlocks

Earn XP to progress through 55 Levels, unlocking Weapons, Equipment, Perks, Killstreaks, and more.

A Note on DMZ

In Modern Warfare 4, DMZ features its own distinct Level Unlock progression track that is separate from the Level 1-55 Multiplayer progression system. As players earn DMZ XP by completing Story Missions, Dynamic Operations, Side Ops, and other activities, they will progress through 70 levels, unlocking DMZ-specific rewards along the way including new Gear and Stations, Station Upgrades, 3D Printer Recipes, Operator Skins, Consumables, Fire Support (Killstreaks), Survival Kits, and more.

XP earned while playing DMZ also contributes to your overall 1-55 Player Progression, but XP earned in Multiplayer or Call of Duty®: Warzone™ does not contribute to your DMZ Level.
