Multiplayer and DMZ share weapon progression: leveling a gun in one mode unlocks its attachments in the other. Each attachment is unlocked only once and then works on every weapon that accepts it. Fully leveling a supported weapon unlocks its unique Apex Attachment, which is new to MW4 and changes how the weapon works.
