Modern Warfare 4’s Joint Fire Event is that delightful little grindfest that hands out freebies if you actually play with other humans. Season 1 leaned into gameplay goodies over sparkly cosmetics, and this event drops a mix of XP tokens, a calling card, charms, an emblem, and a sweet weapon blueprint — all for pulling your weight in party games. Here’s the lowdown, rewritten in plain (and slightly goofy) English so you don’t have to squint through tables.
Joint Fire Event Rewards (what you get and how much XP it takes)
Move on Targets Calling Card — unlock at 150,000 Joint Fire XP. Fancy card for your profile, earned by actually playing with pals.
30-Minute Double Weapon XP Token — unlock at 300,000 Joint Fire XP. Use this and suddenly your guns level up faster than you can say “headshot.”
1-Hour Double XP Token — unlock at 450,000 Joint Fire XP. A whole hour of double XP bliss. Pick a session and milk it.
30-Minute Double XP Token — unlock at 600,000 Joint Fire XP. More temporary XP goodness. Stack it strategically.
Fast Rope In Emblem — unlock at 750,000 Joint Fire XP. Slap this on your profile and look like a tactical hero who definitely — probably — did a fast rope once.
1-Hour Double XP Token — unlock at 900,000 Joint Fire XP. Another hour-long token so your friends can’t say you’re holding out on them.
Teamwork Weapon Charm — unlock at 1,050,000 Joint Fire XP. Tiny metal proof that you played nice and helped the squad.
30-Minute Double Battle Pass XP Token — unlock at 1,200,000 Joint Fire XP. Boosts Battle Pass progression — music to the ears of completionists.

Squad Work Hyeon Burst Blueprint — unlocked by earning nine Joint Fire Event rewards. Collect nine of the above rewards and you get this blueprint as a bonus.
Fast ways to farm Joint Fire XP (aka do it quicker, smarter, and with less crying)
Only XP you earn while in a party with other players counts for this event — so solo queueing won’t cut it. If you want speed, stack boosts and play with friends.
Double XP Tokens: Activate Player XP double tokens before you queue. Tokens stack and their timers tick down only while you’re in matches, so start them when you’re actually playing.
Bring a Squad: Party bonuses are huge. Small squads multiply XP — a two-player party and a three-player party give massive XP boosts compared to solo. So drag friends into matches and share the XP love.
Use XP Boosts: BlackCell and Classic Prestige-style boosts increase XP gain. If you’ve got both, use them together for even faster progress.
Watch for XP Drops in Warzone: If you play Warzone, open XP supply drops during matches — they hand out extra XP for that game and help your event tally.
Finish Challenges: Daily and other in-game challenges are reliable XP sources. Daily challenges reset every day (12 AM PT / 3 AM ET), so do them religiously if you want steady gains.
Play Objectives, Not Just Kills: Objective-based modes and smart assists often give more consistent XP than random killstreaks. Play the objective, be useful, and the XP will follow.
When does the Joint Fire Event run?
The event kicked off Friday, November 13 at 10:00 AM PT and its first run ended Thursday, November 19 at 10:00 AM PT. It’s scheduled to return at a later date (so if you missed round one, you’ll likely get another shot).
Quick tip: plan your biggest play sessions while you have tokens and boosts active, team up with at least one buddy, and grind the daily challenges — you’ll zip through those XP milestones faster than you can rage-quit after a 10-second sniper wipe.
