MW4 camos: every camo challenge, from Military to Mastery

One camo grind covers every mode, so progress in multiplayer and DMZ counts toward the same camos. A Special camo you finish in one mode is yours in all of them.¹ Tick yours off in our camo tracker.

The steps, in order

1. Military camos 1 to 8. They unlock as the weapon levels up, in any mode. For the Han 86 they come at levels 10, 18, 25, 34, 42, 50, 57 and 65, and other weapons differ.¹
2. Special camos, 3 per weapon. Each is a combat challenge that opens at a set weapon level, such as mounted or silenced kills. Finished ones join a shared pool you can put on any weapon.¹
3. Gold. Finish all 8 Military and 3 Special camos, then get 15 eliminations in one multiplayer match or 100 in one DMZ match.¹
4. Platinum. Earn Gold on every weapon in that weapon class, then finish the class’s Platinum challenge.¹
5. Harmonic Break. Earn every Platinum camo, then finish the class’s Harmonic Break challenge.¹
6. Divergence. Finish 33 Harmonic Break challenges.¹
7. Mastery. Divergence opens three Mastery camos for multiplayer and three for DMZ, plus three for Warzone from Season 1.¹

DMZ counts soldiers as well as players, so its challenges ask for more kills. The Han 86’s Platinum challenge, for one, is 50 headshots on players in multiplayer or 100 on enemies in DMZ.¹
