Infinity Ward published a new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 update on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, during Season 1. The official patch notes list a Scavenger Bonus that pays cash in DMZ even when you fail to exfil, the removal of UAVs and Advanced UAVs from X01, an aim-down-sights sensitivity tweak in Multiplayer and a series of bug fixes. Here is what changes, according to the patch notes on callofduty.com.

Players who fail to successfully exfil now receive cash rewards calculated from the value of the items they looted and their total deployment time.

The bonus does not apply to Story Missions.

Infinity Ward does not publish the exact amounts or formula in the patch notes.

The duration and range of UAVs and Advanced UAVs in X01 had first been significantly reduced.

Updated note from Infinity Ward: UAVs and AUAVs have been disabled in X01 “based on the efficacy of the tuning we previously announced”. Players can no longer deploy these Killstreaks in X01.

The radius of the Mini Tracker Trait is slightly reduced.

X01 fixes: exfil through the crank gate elevator shaft in the Power Generators area, players stuck in the Vault Elevator, bodies falling through the ground in the Deep Vault, explosions under a departing exfil helicopter damaging players on board, AI stuck in vehicle passenger seats, the floating Crude Diethyl Ether component (Dynamic Operation Chemical Denial) and the Wheelson Commander turret still tracking after being DDoS’d.

Instant ADS Sensitivity Transition Timing: sensitivity now switches back to hip-fire sensitivity earlier when you leave aim down sights.

Ghost Perk: fixed a case where it could hide players from enemy detection while they fired unsuppressed weapons.

Enemy nameplates could be visible when the enemy was hidden from view or through Care Packages: fixed.

Weapons: folding iron sights clipping, VLK Trimmer Optic rail position on the CSG-35 now adjustable in Gunsmith, long animation when switching to the Cronen Osprey.

Match-wide chat enabled in Free for All and Gun Game; Firing Range hitmarkers fixed for slower ballistic bullets (Infinity Ward notes the Firing Range is an offline simulation).

Also fixed: Care Package progress bar in Frontline during Spawn Protection, Killstreak markers disappearing, SAM Airburst Turret and Tactical Insertion locations shown when pinged, BlackCell Clan Tag display.

Platinum camo challenges now track for the Cronen Osprey and CSG-35.

Headshots now track for the Sniper BlackCell camo challenge.

Map Voting works again when only two maps are available.

Stability: “several stability issues” addressed (no further detail).

The patch notes give no download size, no version number and no release time. Known issues are tracked on Infinity Ward’s Trello board and the CODUpdates account. For the previous patch, see our article on the MW4 November 7 update; for DMZ access, see the MW4 DMZ free trial through November 11.
