MW4 Weapon Unlocks: Beta Levels 1–30

Quick answer: Start weapons include Han 86, ISO Nightshade, Rezi 12, FINN LMG and KRAIT P68. The public roster then gates M4 at level 9, PPSH-41 at 11, Oris 8.6 at 14, and Signal 50 at 30; the full Beta also has default-loadout or campaign exceptions.

Efficient path

1. Start with one AR and one SMG instead of splitting Weapon XP across every class.
2. Hit level 9 for M4, then level 11 for PPSH-41 if those roles fit your maps.
3. Save the level 30 chase for Signal 50 after your core loadout is stable.

Exceptions and limits

Official Beta intel says three additional weapons can appear through specific default loadouts or the campaign. This page lists the public board progression only; it does not claim every exception. Re-check the in-game menu after each Beta weekend.
