MW4’s camo grind can be sped up in the early stages, here’s how
Modern Warfare 4’s early access period for DMZ mode has begun, bringing a new camo progression system that represents a significant departure from previous Call of Duty titles. Unlike the recent Black Ops games, this year’s system allows players to unlock cosmetic weapon camos across multiple game modes.
A key feature of this year’s camo grind is that progression is largely shared across multiplayer, DMZ, and Warzone. Players can unlock cosmetic camos up to the Divergence completionist tier in any of these three modes before transitioning to mode-specific Mode Mastery camos. This shared progression approach offers greater flexibility compared to previous years, allowing players more freedom in choosing how they pursue their cosmetic unlocks.
For players looking to accelerate their early-stage progression, optimization methods are available to speed up the camo grind. Players already engaged with DMZ mode will naturally progress through camo challenges as they complete gameplay objectives. The flexible progression system suggests developers are attempting to reduce grinding friction and make cosmetic weapon unlocks feel more accessible across different playstyles and game preferences.
