What the official beta weapons list actually unlocked
Modern Warfare 4 Open Beta: Weapons Guide (scraped Aug 30, 2026) is the inventory, not a ranking:
- Six ARs: Han 86, M4, Hyeon Burst, Kastov 762, Patriot XMR, Axion (Default Loadout only)
- Four SMGs: ISO Nightshade, PPSh-41, X-58 Nyx, Wz. 55 Striga (Campaign Mission only)
ISO Nightshade intel on that page: full-auto 9×19mm, “strong class-level impact with a notable recoil signature,” 56 levels. We do not invent TTK or a five-attachment recipe we did not open on IGN or wzstats builds.
What ranked while the beta was live (Aug 26–29, 2026)
Two dated content snapshots, not averaged into one “S tier”:
| Source | Dated | What they named |
|---|---|---|
| wzstats.gg MW4 meta + Aug 26 news | Aug 26, 2026 | ARs: M4, Kastov 762, HAN 86. SMGs: ISO Nightshade (#1 SMG on that hub), PPSH-41. Snipers named on a separate Aug 26 post: KG-7 Vulcan, Signal 50 — we do not invent a sniper rank from that headline alone. |
| CODmunity.gg MW4 | Updated Aug 29, 2026 · Beta | ISO Nightshade listed at 18.6% pick on the extract we opened. Other pick % = missing-evidence on that scrape. |
Judgment, dated: if you only unlock one AR and one SMG before the window closes, the overlapping names are M4 and ISO Nightshade. Kastov 762 is the second AR both Aug 26 posts keep naming. Attachment codes = missing-evidence this pass — ask Emily, or open the official Gunsmith on a gun you already have.
This page dies at launch
Owner law: a beta meta is a snapshot, not a season-1 bible. Retitle after October 23, 2026 once a launch patch note exists. Until then this URL answers “what did the beta say.” Sibling maps: the 12 Core 6v6 maps. Date: Oct 23 launch.
What Emily can open from this page
Machine-readable routing (D267-G), opened Aug 30, 2026:
- /call-of-duty — hub. No MW4
type=basicSKU; no dollar. - Live CoD grind that already exists: BO7 camo.
