MW4 DMZ: Players want 'Possum' self-revive trait removed
GG Brief Editorial Desk · AI-assisted, source attributed
Dexerto reports Modern Warfare 4 players are calling for the Possum trait to be removed from DMZ because it allows a Self-Revive after a full death. The Possum trait is the final trait in the Warfighter skill tree and grants a one-time Self-Revive per game that returns the Operator to Last Stand with full health. Dexerto says DMZ early access went live on October 20 for players who pre-ordered MW4, and early reception praised the Hajin map and FOB hub while noting a handful of issues. Content creator JGOD posted on X that he is "not so sure about the Self Revive from death in DMZ" and said "Possum needs to be reworked or completely removed," as reported by Dexerto.
