Sources and method

Where every row comes from

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Beta Patch Notes (Infinity Ward, callofduty.com; page dated September 1, 2026; checked October 2, 2026). Every change in this ledger, and every quote, comes from this page. Each update links its own dated section.
Modern Warfare 4 Open Beta: Weekend Two Intel (Call of Duty Staff, August 26, 2026). Used only for the Open Beta dates; it lists no weapon tuning.
Call of Duty patch-notes index, checked October 2, 2026 for later Modern Warfare 4 notes; none were listed.

What is included

Every weapon, weapon-class and attachment change listed in the weapon sections of each update, plus bug fixes that name a weapon. Changes to the make-up of Warzone default loadouts are left out because they swap parts rather than tune a weapon. In the stat tables, rows whose value did not change are left out. Typing slips in the official notes, such as “>45.9m3” or “Mutliplier”, are kept as written.

How a change is called a buff or a nerf

Marked by Activision: the notes colour the new value green or red. Green is shown as a buff, red as a nerf.
Kingy reading of the wording: for sentences, a fixed rule. A higher damage multiplier or a faster ADS or sprint-to-fire time is a buff; the reverse is a nerf; a removed or smaller penalty is a buff. Where the wording and the numbers disagree, the row is shown as adjusted with a note.
Not marked in the notes: a value changed without colour. Many are range boundaries that moved with another change. These are shown as adjusted.

Quotes are 15 words or fewer, copied from the notes; “…” marks a shortened sentence. Kingy has not tested these values in the game, and a Beta value tells you nothing certain about the launch build.
