Call of Duty: MW4 Beta Extended, Double XP Added
The MW4 open beta is extended by 12 hours and boosted with Double XP, giving players a last-minute chance to unlock exclusive weapon blueprints.
The update
Activision has extended the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 open beta by 12 hours. The beta, originally scheduled to end on September 1 at 10 AM PT, now runs until 10 PM PT on September 1 (1 AM ET on September 2). The studio also activated double progression XP and double weapon XP for the remainder of the beta.
Why it matters
This extension provides a critical window for players to grind through the beta and reach the level cap. Players who reach level 30 unlock a special weapon blueprint. The extra time and boosted XP rates are designed to help more players secure these exclusive rewards before the beta closes.
What to watch
Players should prioritize reaching level 30 to claim the blueprint. The double XP boost applies to both progression and weapon XP, so focusing on matches that yield both is the most efficient strategy. It is unclear if this extension applies to all platforms simultaneously, though current reporting indicates the change is live across all available regions.
