PM-40 Anvil in MW4 DMZ: stats, unlock and how to use it
Pump-action 43mm grenade launcher for area denial and clearing rooms at close to medium range.
How it compares to other launchers
- Fire rate: 38 RPM, which is the highest of 4 in its class.
- Ammo: 3 grenades in the magazine and 6 in reserve, so unlike the rocket launchers it can fire several times before reloading.
- Mag dump: about 4.7s of continuous fire at the listed rate. This is our calculation, and burst or semi-auto weapons take longer in practice.
- Weapon levels: 46 levels to max it out.
| Weapon | Fire rate | Mag | Reserve | Mag dump | Weapon lvls | Unlock (MP lvl) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PILA | 8 RPM | 1 | 1 | 7.5s | 46 | 4 |
| RPG-8 | 20 RPM | 1 | 1 | 3s | 46 | 23 |
| JOKR | 13 RPM | 1 | 1 | 4.6s | 46 | 43 |
| PM-40 Anvil | 38 RPM | 3 | 6 | 4.7s | 46 | 54 |
Using the PM-40 Anvil in DMZ
The PM-40 Anvil is a pump-action 43 mm grenade launcher rather than a rocket launcher. Three grenades in the magazine and six in reserve at 38 RPM make it the only launcher here that fires more than once before reloading, which suits area denial and clearing rooms at close to medium range.
Getting the PM-40 Anvil in DMZ
The PM-40 Anvil unlocks at player level 54.
In DMZ the player level only matters for leveling, because weapon levels and attachment unlocks are shared with Multiplayer. To actually carry a PM-40 Anvil into Hajin:
- Loot one from enemies, players or military containers.
- Buy it from the Vendor (DMZ level 5) when it is in that day's stock.
- Extract once with the PM-40 Anvil Weapon Manual. After that you can buy the base weapon at the Gunsmith (DMZ level 10) as often as you like.
Any PM-40 Anvil you extract with can also be upgraded at the Gunsmith as a one-off copy. You can carry two weapons in and out of a deployment, or more with a Weapon Backpack.
