Weapon customization changes in Warzone for MW4
Gunsmith changes
Call of Duty’s Gunsmith feature returns. This customization system lets you create five-attachment builds for Warzone. Guns from the older CoD’s are still available to use as “Legacy” weapons, but you can no longer customize them in the Gunsmith.
You can only customize MW4 guns. You can choose up to five standard attachments for your weapon build, and you can also include the gun’s unique Apex attachment as a sixth optional attachment.
Apex attachments are special add-ons you can unlock for each gun in MW4, which will drastically change how the weapon is used. Apex attachments are similar to the weapon conversion kits found in the recent Call of Duty games, but in Modern Warfare 4 they don’t cost one of your attachment slots.
Apex attachments aren’t unlocked until you’ve reached the maximum weapon level for a specific gun. Some of these attachments are a bit wacky and aren’t practical add-ons, but others will offer viable bonuses to your weapon.
Weapon augments
Outside of the Gunsmith customization for your create-a-class weapons, it’s also worth noting that you’ll have an additional weapon augmentation you can find and apply during your match. Modern Warfare 4 adds brand-new weapon augments as a new way to upgrade your weapon with significant bonuses.
