Season 1 weapon damage: what changed for each gun

Infinity Ward’s Season 1 patch notes of November 5, 2026 published per-bullet damage for seventeen weapons and changed the balance of several. This page reads each weapon’s figures against what the update altered. The Season 1 tuning page sets out the pass.

The published figures

Every weapon in the pass is listed below. Apex attachment rows are on the individual weapon pages, because an attachment’s damage profile is separate from the weapon’s own.

Wz.55 Striga — One of only two base weapons with its maximum damage changed, up 4% to 27. Its minimum also rose 12% to 19, its head multiplier went to 1.4, and its second medium tier was removed from the table.

X-58 Nyx — Minimum damage up 9% to 14 and the second medium tier up 8% to 16.

APOC-338 — One of only two weapons with its minimum cut, down 3% to 32, and the only weapon whose head multiplier fell, from 1.35 to 1.3. Its 41 maximum damage is unchanged.

Its minimum rose 14% to 16, its third medium range extended 17% to 10.29 m and its second 8% to 6.86 m. The Enforcer attachment kept its 100 maximum and 34 first medium tier while its minimum rose to 20.

Mosin-Nagant — The smallest damage figures in the published set, with its maximum damage range extended 9% to 40.13 m. Its values carry the m suffix described below.

Oris 8.6 — A 95 maximum damage over a 19.05 m range. Its minimum rose 9% to 63 and its maximum damage range extended 19% to 22.61 m.

Krait P68 — The pistol in the pass, with a 46 maximum damage. Its lower-torso multiplier rose 10% to 1.1, its maximum damage range up 6% and its first medium range up 4%.

The Mosin-Nagant rows carry a unit the other weapons do not

The Mosin-Nagant’s damage values appear in the official table with a trailing m — Maximum Damage 2.36 m, Medium Damage 1 2.18 m, Minimum Damage 1.52 m — while every other weapon’s damage values are bare numbers and only the range rows carry m. The source cells read <td>2.36 m</td>, so this is the publisher’s own formatting rather than a transcription error, and the figures are reproduced exactly as printed. The source does not explain the suffix. Nothing has been normalised and no reading has been invented for it.

What is still not published

This pass is the first to print MW4 damage figures, and it does not make every combat measurement public. Time to kill, recoil pattern and camera shake, and effective range falloff curves beyond the published tier boundaries all remain unpublished for MW4 by anyone. The source does not publish the interpolation formula behind the tiers, nor separate values per mode, even though Infinity Ward states that Multiplayer and DMZ have bespoke tuning.
