Modern Warfare 4 DMZ doubles payouts ahead of its next map launch
Modern Warfare 4’s DMZ mode has increased the cash rewards for several activities, making it quicker for players to rebuild their funds after losing an operator or equipment. The changes also give players more reason to take on smaller objectives while they prepare for the mode’s next map.
Dynamic Ops now pay $10,000 to $20,000, double the previous $5,000 to $10,000 range. Side Ops rewards have risen fourfold, from $500 to $2,000, while each completed mission step now pays $500 instead of $300. Five Side Ops therefore match the minimum Dynamic Ops payout; the new X01 map is due on 6 November 2026 with Modern Warfare 4 Season One.
In short
- Dynamic Ops now pay up to $20,000.
- Side Ops rewards have increased from $500 to $2,000.
- The X01 map launches on 6 November 2026.
