Players clear Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 campaign on new YOLO single-life difficulty
Eurogamer reports that players have begun clearing the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 campaign on the newly introduced YOLO difficulty setting, which requires completing the entire campaign with a single life. One player shared strategies and noted that the demanding run took 20 hours to complete.
Key points
- YOLO difficulty requires completing the entire Modern Warfare 4 campaign with a single life.
- A Reddit user shared that their successful YOLO run took 20 hours.
- Unlocking YOLO requires first finishing the campaign on Realism difficulty.
- The reward for completing the campaign on YOLO difficulty is a multiplayer Calling Card.
What happened
Players have started clearing the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 campaign on the newly introduced YOLO difficulty tier during early access, according to Eurogamer. The single-life mode forces players back to the start of the campaign if they die once for any reason.
Reddit user Lost-Equivalent2352 shared details of their completion, stating that the run took twenty hours. Their strategy involved hiding to let AI teammates clear enemies, using flashbangs and grenades, and navigating difficult hand-to-hand combat sections.
Context
To unlock the YOLO difficulty in Modern Warfare 4, players must first finish the entire campaign on Realism difficulty. A YOLO run can end from any event that triggers a game over screen, such as failing a jump, dying normally, or accidentally shooting a civilian.
Eurogamer reports that the reward for finishing the campaign on YOLO is a multiplayer Calling Card, which is among the lowest tier of cosmetic rewards.
What's next
DMZ early access begins later today, leading up to the full game launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 including traditional multiplayer on Friday, 23rd October for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2, as reported by Eurogamer.
Why it matters
Players tackling Modern Warfare 4 on its new YOLO difficulty face a demanding single-life challenge that tests campaign survival skills for an underwhelming multiplayer cosmetic reward.
