Modern Warfare 4’s DMZ Players Are Losing Loot to Server Crashes Despite Official Fix from Infinity Ward

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s new DMZ extraction mode has entered early access ahead of the game’s Friday release, but players are encountering server crashes that cause them to lose newly earned loot. The mode, which allows players to explore and extract items, has generated positive reception overall despite the technical issues.

Infinity Ward has released an official fix to address the problem, though specifics aren’t detailed in available reports. Players’ loot that has been successfully extracted to the FOB (Forward Operating Base) and brought back into DMZ as part of a loadout remains secure. However, any items picked up during active gameplay are at risk of being lost when servers crash.

The early access period provides Infinity Ward with an opportunity to stress-test servers and resolve issues before the full launch, while giving the community early exposure to the extraction mode and other game features.
