What items carry forward from Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 to Modern Warfare 4?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is made by a completely different studio from Black Ops 7, as such, most items will not carry over into the new game. Your weapons and their progress, unlocked camos, blueprints, and operators will not be available in the new game.
The only exception is the Hunter Killer operator and the two universal camos that were made available in Black Ops 7 for players who pre-ordered Modern Warfare 4. Those will carry forward.
What will carry forward into Modern Warfare 4 are any unspent 2XP tokens and your COD Points currency so long as you're staying on the same platform. COD Points are linked to the platform you bought them on and can't be used to buy content via other stores.
Given that everyone will be starting Modern Warfare 4 from zero, now is a good time to stop using up any 2XP tokens you currently have on your account. They'll be far more beneficial, giving you a boost in the new game if you're going to play it. It's also worth claiming any free 2XP tokens given out most days in Black Ops 7 before the new game launches.
There will be two Prestige systems in Modern Warfare 4. A Classic Prestige where your unlocks will be reset every time you go up a tier, and another where you will still go through Prestige tiers, but without losing your unlocks. The rewards are better on Classic Prestige, and it gives out XP at an increased rate.
But whichever path you take, there will be a ton of levels so definitely take as many 2XP tokens as you can.
Do I get to keep my old weapons, operators, and blueprints in Warzone when Modern Warfare 4 launches?
The exception to carry forward is Warzone, where traditionally older weapons, their attached blueprints, and unlocked camos are still usable in the battle royale modes. Likewise, previously unlocked operators and their skins can also be used.
This is still true with the launch of Modern Warfare 4, with the exception of legacy camos. Blueprints, operators, and operator skins will carry forward from as far back as Modern Warfare II, but not camos.
Be aware, though, that while you can use legacy operator skins, Warzone will have a toggle in Modern Warfare 4 that other players can use to ensure they can't see them.
There's no confirmed date for this yet, but the current best guess is early November, when the final Black Ops 7 season comes to an end.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launches on all platforms on Friday, October 23, 2026. Players who pre-order the game digitally on any platform will have early access to play the campaign a week prior on Friday, October 16.
Modern Warfare 4 will not be on Xbox Game Pass at launch. Based on Microsoft's previous statements, it's not expected to join Game Pass until October 2027 at the earliest.
