Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s beta, and presumably the full game, delivers on one thing CoD always does well: Guns. Many weapons are spread across countless classes in MW4, so find out every gun you can use and how to unlock everything.
It doesn’t matter what type of player you are; Call of Duty has something for everyone. Do you like to vary up your engagements? Slap an Assault Rifle to your loadout. Do you love bum-rushing the opposition with speed? Get yourself a tasty SMG.
There are so many ways to play, and the Modern Warfare 4 beta has a varied armory to dive through and work towards.
Every MW4 Beta Assault Rifle and Unlock Requirements
The class with the most weapons in the Modern Warfare 4 beta is comfortably the Assault Rifle. They’re arguably the most popular form of gun, and you’ve got five to use, including four to unlock.

Hello, trusty M4.
| Weapon Name | How to Unlock in Beta |
|---|---|
| Han 86 | Already unlocked |
| M4 | Unlocked at Level 9 |
| Hyeon Burst | Unlocked at Level 18 |
| Kastov 762 | Unlocked at Level 21 |
| Patriot XMR | Unlocked at Level 25 |
Every MW4 Beta SMG and Unlock Requirements
Three SMGs await, including the surprising inclusion of the PPSH-41, which is usually a weapon reserved for older-period CoD games. It’s one of my favorite SMGs of all time, though, so I’m not complaining, and it will probably be my main SMG in the beta and beyond.
| Weapon Name | How to Unlock in Beta |
|---|---|
| ISO Nightshade | Already unlocked |
| PPSH-41 | Unlocked at Level 11 |
| X-58 NYX | Unlocked at Level 27 |
Every MW4 Beta Shotgun and Unlock Requirements
For your up-close and personal one-tap blasting, there’s only one weapon: The Rezi 12.
I don’t think it’s anything to do with Capcom’s long-running survival horror franchise, but it might scare opponents if they run around the corner and you have one of these in your hands.
| Weapon Name | How to Unlock in Beta |
|---|---|
| Rezi 12 | Already unlocked |
Every MW4 Beta LMG and Unlock Requirements
Two LMGs are available in the MW4 beta: The Finn LMG and the Type 73. A light machine gun can be an acquired taste, given how bulky they are and prioritize mobility less, but it’s great for mowing down squads without letting go of the trigger.
| Weapon Name | How to Unlock in Beta |
|---|---|
| Finn LMG | Already unlocked |
| Type 73 | Unlocked at Level 5 |
Every MW4 Beta Marksman Rifle and Unlock Requirements
If you want some range, but don’t quite want to extend the length of a Sniper Rifle, get yourself either a Mar-9 or Oris 8.9 Marksman Rifle.
| Weapon Name | How to Unlock in Beta |
|---|---|
| Mar-9 | Already unlocked |
| Oris 8.6 | Unlocked at Level 14 |
Every MW4 Beta Sniper Rifle and Unlock Requirements
You might have already seen the Signal 50 Sniper Rifle, and it could be your ultimate grindy reward in the beta. The KG-7 Vulcan will likely do a good job, but make no mistake, EVERYONE will be after the Signal 50.
| Weapon Name | How to Unlock in Beta |
|---|---|
| KG-7 Vulcan | Already unlocked |
| Signal 50 | Unlocked at Level 30 |
Every MW4 Beta Pistol and Unlock Requirements
Most loadouts will feature the Krait P68 as a backup, and then natural progression will see them ditched in favor of the .50 GS. If you can handle the heat, it’ll keep you alive longer.
| Weapon Name | How to Unlock in Beta |
|---|---|
| Krait P68 | Already unlocked |
| .50 GS | Unlocked at Level 23 |
Every MW4 Beta Launcher and Unlock Requirements
The PILA is your only launcher option in the beta, but I’m sure the full release will be full of vehicle-ending, Killstreak-destroying launchers.
| Weapon Name | How to Unlock in Beta |
|---|---|
| PILA | Already unlocked |
Every MW4 Beta Melee Weapon and Unlock Requirements
If you want to slice and dice for style or in a panic situation, whip out the Combat Knife and show everyone who’s boss in CQC.
| Weapon Name | How to Unlock in Beta |
|---|---|
| Combat Knife | Already unlocked |
