DMZ
How DMZ loadouts work at launch
In DMZ, anything unlocked or levelled in Multiplayer or DMZ can be bought at the FOB Gunsmith with DMZ cash; weapons can also be looted, built from a Weapon Manual or bought from the FOB vendor. You can carry two primaries. callofduty.com
Multiplayer
Create-a-Class unlocks at player level 4, and you can give each loadout its own Operator. An attachment unlocks once and then works on every weapon that takes it. The Overkill perk lets you carry a second primary. callofduty.com
How we count, and how this differs from Kitted.gg, WZStats, CODMunity, MW4Meta and MetaRadar
- “Seen in X of Y” counts builds in our own sample for that week and mode only. It isn't a pick rate, a win rate or a tier list.
- We don't rank or score weapons, and we don't use match data, game files or datamined stats.
- Every build is credited to the creator who wrote it, with a link and the date, so you can check the original and see which patch it predates.
- DMZ gets its own section rather than sitting under Multiplayer or Warzone.
- If a creator hasn't written the attachments down, we say so rather than guess them from a video.
- We only list creators who have said yes, and we take a build down whenever its creator asks.
Those sites do different jobs well, and we'd use them alongside this page.
