Modern Warfare 4's DMZ Players Are Losing Loot to Server Crashes Despite Official Fix from Infinity Ward

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's new DMZ extraction mode is currently plagued by server crashes, resulting in players losing their newly acquired loot. Infinity Ward launched the mode early in anticipation of the game's full release on Friday. While the reception has been positive, players are encountering issues. The game has experienced server crashes, causing players to lose any loot they picked up during their runs.

However, any loot already extracted to the Forward Operating Base (FOB) and brought back into the DMZ as part of a loadout remains safe. Infinity Ward has confirmed that players who disconnected due to this issue will retain their equipment and progression, but not the loot they collected during the match. Some players are still experiencing problems, so individual experiences may vary.

It's challenging to guarantee that all a player had when they were disconnected is safe, as it could potentially be exploited to extract valuable loot without finding an extraction zone. Black Ops 7's Endgame mode faced similar issues when it launched last year, leading to frustration for players who lost progress due to technical difficulties.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's full release is scheduled for October 23, with its campaign and DMZ modes available now for owners of the game.
