Infinity Ward says it has fixed one of the most common complaints about Modern Warfare 4’s gunplay. Since the November 10 update, the true hitscan range of every bullet weapon is 3.91 times longer, about 35 meters on average, and long-range bullets connect 34 ms faster, in every mode including Warzone. The same week, DMZ lost UAVs and then the Bombing Run in X01, the Wager Match event started, and CODUpdates confirmed an intermittent delay when firing semi-auto weapons. Do you feel the difference?

What the official sources say (read on November 12, 2026):
- Patch notes, November 11: all ballistic weapons get a 3.91x hitscan increase at all ranges; according to Infinity Ward, the high refresh rate of MW4’s ballistic simulation had shortened the range at which shots register instantly.
- CODUpdates, November 11 at 9:53 PM Paris time: “We’re investigating an issue causing intermittent delays to firing semi-auto weapons.” Trello label: “Fix Incoming”. No workaround given.
- Multiplayer split screen was disabled at 11:45 PM Paris time, then re-enabled at 3:58 AM on November 12. The Wager option in Warzone has been disabled since 11:34 PM on November 11; Trophies can still be earned there.
- Infinity Ward raised Trophy drop rates in Multiplayer respawn modes on November 12 and says it is testing a fix for a bug in DMZ Trophy drops.
- PC: Infinity Ward is investigating pink or purple skies on some AMD GPUs.
Questions for players:
- Since the hitscan change, do close-range fights feel more responsive to you? On which platform, and with which weapons? Do you still get “I shot first” deaths?
- Have you noticed the semi-auto firing delay? With which weapon (marksman rifle, pistol, burst or semi-auto rifle), and in Multiplayer, DMZ or Warzone?
- Split screen players: is it working again for you after a restart?
- DMZ players: with UAVs and now the Bombing Run gone from X01, are raids better, or too easy?
- Wager Match: which mode farms Trophies fastest for you? Are DMZ drops still low, and did you get the 30 free Trophies after restarting? Are you saving for the event camo or for the Apex Attachments?
- PC players on AMD: have you seen the pink sky? Which GPU and driver?
Please mention your platform, input (controller or mouse and keyboard) and, on PC, your graphics card and driver version. Do not post account details or links to cheats or unauthorized software.
