## Summary

Modern Warfare 4’s DMZ mode changes how players unlock weapons, with Weapon Manuals offering a way to permanently add new weapons through the Gunsmith. The manuals are rare, and finding one depends on luck.

They can appear in Safes and Military Containers, also called Weapon Lockers, in High Threat Areas marked red on the tac-map. Move a manual to your Insured Slot and extract it safely to keep it; blueprints and weapons brought out of a match can also unlock weapons.
