Modern Warfare 4 Trophy Overview
Trophies in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 focus on completing the campaign, meeting specific mission objectives, and finding collectibles. You don't need to grind Multiplayer or DMZ to earn them, as all 18 trophies are tied to the campaign.

To earn every trophy, you'll also need to complete the campaign on Realism difficulty. This mode features Veteran-level damage, no HUD, friendly fire, and no teammate markers, making combat more challenging. You must complete the campaign on any difficulty first to unlock Realism for your next playthrough.

Trophy Roadmap Steps
Step 1: Complete the campaign on an easier difficulty
Play on Recruit or another comfortable difficulty. Focus on completing the story while collecting notes, contraband, and other items. You can also attempt mission-specific challenges along the way.
Step 2: Complete mission-specific challenges and collect items
Focus on missions such as Following Orders, Assassins, and Stranded, which contain multiple trophy objectives. Explore each area carefully and complete any challenges you missed during your first playthrough.
Step 3: Complete the campaign on Realism
After finishing the campaign once, replay it on Realism to unlock Was It Worth It? This difficulty features Veteran-level damage, no HUD, friendly fire, and no teammate markers, so use cover and approach encounters carefully.
Step 4: Clean up remaining trophies
Use mission select to revisit unfinished objectives and collect any remaining items. Check your trophy tracker to identify what you still need before wrapping up your hunt.

How to Unlock All Modern Warfare 4 Trophies
Some trophies unlock naturally as you progress through the campaign, while others require you to complete specific objectives. Use the methods below to work toward every achievement efficiently without unnecessary replays.
Campaign Completion and Realism
Complete all 16 campaign missions on a comfortable difficulty to earn Hold the Line and unlock Realism mode.

Tips for Earning All Trophies
Use these tips to make your trophy hunt more efficient and avoid repeating long sections of the campaign.

Follow a checklist: Keep track of each trophy and its mission requirement as listed above, so you do not forget an objective.
-
Prioritize collectibles: Search for notes and contraband before leaving an area. Some opportunities are easy to overlook during combat.
-
Use checkpoints wisely: If a challenge fails, restart the checkpoint when possible rather than replaying the entire mission.
-
Save Realism for a dedicated run: Focus on survival, learn enemy positions, and use cover to reduce unnecessary deaths.
-
Replay Assassins: Complete Pacifist and Revenge separately because they have different difficulty requirements.
