Silkworm is a packed South Korean shopping street. Alleys wrap around the apartments on the edges, and the fighting centers on a convenience store, a gaming den and a subway entrance. It's one of the 12 core 6v6 maps Modern Warfare 4 launched with. Silkworm has six Hardpoint hills and two Search and Destroy bomb sites, A and B.

Hardpoint on Silkworm
Silkworm has six hills. They go P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 in a fixed order, then back to P1.
- P1: the middle of the map
- P2: the west side, on the same spot as A
- P3: the east side, on the same spot as B
- P4: the south side
- P5: the north side
- P6: the east side, south of P3
P4 to P5 is the longest rotation, from the south side straight up to the north side. P2 to P3, west to east, is long too. P1 to P2 is the shortest. For when to leave a hill and how to set up the next one, see the MW4 Hardpoint tips.

Quick tips for Silkworm
- There are hardly any high spots. Most fights are face to face at street level, so build your gun for fast aim down sights.
- Cars on the main street catch fire and blow up when you hit the engine. Time it for enemies standing next to them.
