Infinite Warfare’s latest update has arrived. Patch 1.08 is the last update for the Infinity Ward title before the next expansion comes out this Tuesday.

In the meantime, the double XP event is still on until February 3rd. It’s the perfect time to start working on those brand new Mission Ranks.
Infinite Warfare’s next full expansion, Sabotage, is coming this Tuesday, January 31st. Stay tuned for more details as they arrive.
Infinite Warfare January 27 Patch Notes:
Complete new missions to achieve Commander Ranks!
- Each Mission Team now goes up to Rank 100! Once you hit that level 50 rank, you’ll go on to chase after a Commander rank until you reach Mission Team Commander Rank 100!
- New ranks better rewards, so Commander Ranks will reward you MKII versions of Mission Team-only Prototype weapons once achieved. You can also craft more! Commander Ranks reward salvage every level you rank up as long as that level isn’t giving you a MKII Prototype reward.
