MW4 & Warzone Update 1.112: UAVs Disabled in X01, DMZ Scavenger Bonus, Ghost Perk Fix
Season 1 just got its first real download. On Tuesday, November 10, Infinity Ward and Raven Software shipped a patch that, according to MP1st, bumps Modern Warfare 4 and Warzone to version 1.112 and the MW4 Multiplayer Pack to 1.004. The official MW4 patch notes bring the biggest DMZ shake-up since launch, while the Warzone notes focus on bug fixes.
It follows the smaller November 7 patch that quieted teammate footsteps.
DMZ: UAVs are gone from X01
The patch first said UAVs and Advanced UAVs in X01 would get "significantly reduced" duration and range. Infinity Ward has since added an update to the official notes: both killstreaks are now disabled in X01, "based on the efficacy of the tuning we previously announced," so you can't deploy them there anymore. Some early write-ups, like esportnow's, still list only the original nerf. Twisted Voxel reports the change to disabled.
Other DMZ changes from the same notes:
- Scavenger Bonus: if you fail to exfil, you still get cash based on the value of what you looted and how long you were deployed. It doesn't apply to Story Missions.
- Mini Tracker Trait: its radius is slightly smaller.
- X01 fixes: players no longer get stuck in the Vault Elevator, bodies no longer fall through the floor in the Deep Vault, and the crank gate elevator shaft exfil in Power Generators works again.
- Exfil Helicopter: explosions underneath a departing helicopter should no longer hurt the players on board.
The DMZ free trial runs through today, so trial players get to try the new rules too.
MW4 Multiplayer fixes
Infinity Ward's notes fix a Ghost perk bug that could hide players from enemy detection even while they fired unsuppressed weapons. Enemy nameplates no longer show up when the enemy is out of sight or behind Care Packages. The Instant ADS sensitivity setting now switches back to hip sensitivity sooner when you stop aiming, and Free for All and Gun Game now have match-wide chat.
Also fixed: the Cronen Osprey's slow swap animation, the VLK Trimmer Optic rail on the CSG-35 that couldn't be adjusted, and missing Firing Range hitmarkers from slower bullets.
Warzone fixes
Raven's November 10 notes cover the same ADS timing change, plus:
- Platinum camo challenges now track for the Cronen Osprey and CSG-35.
- You can edit Loadouts that have a Legacy weapon equipped again.
- The Rally Point kill milestone crate should now spawn every time.
- Leaving the pause menu open no longer closes it and leaves you without a HUD.
Also new: lobby-shopping app blocked
In a separate move, Dexerto reports that Activision labeled Warzone Agent, a paid app that checks a lobby's average K/D, as unauthorized software in the November 5 notes. According to Dexerto, RICOCHET Anti-Cheat now blocks players running the app from Multiplayer modes, and anyone who tries to get around the block risks a ban.
What's next
The DMZ free trial ends today, November 11, at 10 AM PT. With UAVs gone from X01, expect quieter vault runs. More Season 1 hotfixes are likely as the developers keep updating both patch-notes pages.
