Weapon Camos
Global System (MP, RBZ, WZ) Weapons > Loadouts > Gunsmith > CosmeticsWeapon Camos: System Overview
The Weapon Camo system has been overhauled in Black Ops 6. Inspired by Headshot-based Camo Challenges in past Black Ops games, with a mix of elements from modern Camo Systems you’re familiar with, the Black Ops 6 Camo journey removes many of the barriers that interrupted the flow of earning Camos in past games. The result is a streamlined and meaningful Camo journey for each Weapon. Also, for the first time ever, Call of Duty: Warzone will have its own dedicated Camo journey with unique Camos and Challenges only available to unlock in Call of Duty: Warzone (in Season 01).
No Weapon Leveling Needed
Unlocking Weapon Camos in Black Ops 6 is accessible from the moment you get your hands on a weapon; no Weapon Leveling required. Earn Camos at your own pace without any barriers.Unlocking Weapon Camos
Each Weapon’s quest for the final Mastery Camo – Dark Matter (MP), Nebula (ZM), and Abyss (WZ) -- is broken down into three steps:Step 1: Military Camos
Each Weapon’s Camo journey begins with nine Military Camos that are unlocked sequentially by reaching progressive milestones in each mode. For most weapons, these are progressed by earning:
Multiplayer: Headshots
Zombies: Critical Kills
Call of Duty: Warzone: Eliminations
This means that in Multiplayer, just earning Headshots with a Weapon will progress through and unlock the 9 named Military Camos:
Granite: 5 Headshots required.
Woodland: 10 Headshots required.
Savanna: 15 Headshots required.
Splinter: 20 Headshots required.
Moss: 30 Headshots required.
Shade: 40 Headshots required.
Digital: 50 Headshots required.
Tide: 75 Headshots required.
Red Tiger: 100 Headshots required.
Military Camos must be unlocked individually per weapon. For example, if you’ve unlocked the first Multiplayer Military Camo (Granite) for the AMES 85, it can be equipped to the AMES 85 (in MP, ZM, or WZ), but not to any other weapon until you’ve separately unlocked Granite with that weapon.
Step 2: Special Camos
Complete all nine Military Camos for a Weapon in your mode of choice, and the next step in the journey is Special Camos! Each Weapon has two unique Special Camo Swatches per mode that can only be earned with that weapon only. Special Camos can be unlocked in any order once you’ve gained access to them, and each has a different unlock criteria, usually related to the strengths or playstyle of the Weapon you’re progressing.
Special Camos: Equip to Any Weapon
Once unlocked, Special Camos are universal and can be equipped to any weapon, as long as that new weapon has completed the Military Camos and unlocked access to the Special Category in at least one mode. It can then be fitted with any Special Camo you like and used in any game mode you like.Step 3: Mastery Camos
With Military Camos and both Special Camos unlocked for a specific weapon, your Weapon Camo grind enters its final phase: Mastery Camos! As previously revealed, Black Ops 6 has four Mastery Camos available to be earned in each mode: Multiplayer, Zombies, and – for the first time ever – Call of Duty: Warzone (in Season 01). Here’s a look at each set:
Multiplayer Mastery Camo: Gold.
Multiplayer Mastery Camo: Diamond.
Multiplayer Mastery Camo: Dark Spine (Animated).
Multiplayer Mastery Camo: Dark Matter (Animated, Dynamic).
Zombies Mastery Camo: Mystic Gold.
Zombies Mastery Camo: Opal.
Zombies Mastery Camo: Afterlife (Animated).
Zombies Mastery Camo: Nebula (Animated, Dynamic).
Call of Duty: Warzone Mastery Camo: Gold Tiger.
Call of Duty: Warzone Mastery Camo: King’s Ransom (Animated).
Call of Duty: Warzone Mastery Camo: Catalyst (Animated)
Call of Duty: Warzone Mastery Camo: Abyss (Animated, Dynamic).
Dynamic Mastery Camos: For the first time in Call of Duty, the final Mastery Camo in each mode has dynamic elements that change as you fire your weapon for maximum visual impact.
How to Unlock Mastery Camos
Mastery Camos require full participation in the Camo System to access and unlock.Mastery Camo Tier 1: Gold (Multiplayer), Mystic Gold (Zombies) & Gold Tiger (Call of Duty: Warzone)
Access by earning all nine Military Camos and two Special Camos in the corresponding mode, and then complete the applicable Camo Challenge.Mastery Camo Tier 2: Diamond (Multiplayer), Opal (Zombies) & King’s Ransom (Call of Duty: Warzone)
Access by earning Mastery Camo Tier 1 for the designated number of Weapons in one Weapon Class in the corresponding mode, and then complete the applicable Camo Challenge. For example, in Multiplayer players must earn Gold Camo on seven Assault Rifles before they gain access to the Diamond Camo Challenge on those Weapons.Mastery Camo Tier 3: Dark Spine (Multiplayer), Afterlife (Zombies) & Catalyst (Call of Duty: Warzone)
Access by earning Mastery Camo Tier 2 for the designated number of Weapons across multiple Weapon Classes in the corresponding mode, and then complete the applicable Camo Challenge. For example, a Multiplayer player must earn Diamond Camo on 33 Weapons (the number of launch Weapons in Black Ops 6) before they gain access to the Dark Spin Camo Challenge on those Weapons.Mastery Camo Tier 4: Dark Matter (Multiplayer), Nebula (Zombies) & Abyss (Call of Duty: Warzone)
Access by earning Mastery Camo Tier 2 for the designated number of Weapons across multiple Weapon Classes in the corresponding mode, and then complete the applicable Camo Challenge. For example, a Multiplayer player must earn Dark Spine Camo on 33 Weapons (the number of launch Weapons in Black Ops 6) before they gain access to the Dark Matter Camo Challenge on those Weapons. Just like Military Camos, Mastery Camos must be unlocked individually with each Weapon and once unlocked can only be used with that Weapon. For example, if you’ve unlocked Gold Camo for the AMES 85, it can be equipped to the AMES 85 anywhere you use it, but not to any other weapon until you’ve separately unlocked Gold with that weapon.Reticle Challenges
Global System (MP, RBZ, WZ) Weapons > Loadouts > Gunsmith > CustomizeReticle Challenges: System Overview
Recap: The classic Call of Duty Reticle unlock system has returned! Not only are interchangeable Reticles back for every Optic Attachment in the Gunsmith, but there are robust customization and unlock challenges for them across all three modes.
Reticle Customization and Challenges can be accessed within the Gunsmith. To gain access to Reticle Challenges and Customization, you must first equip an Optic Attachment to your Weapon. Once equipped with an Optic, head to the “Customize” tab in the Gunsmith and enter the “Reticles” menu. From here you’ll see your progress through 10 Reticles available in each Mode, as well as have access to any Reticle rewards you’ve acquired via other means.
There are 10 Reticles to unlock in each mode: Multiplayer, Zombies, and Call of Duty: Warzone (in Season 01).
Each of an Optic’s available Reticle Unlocks can be unlocked by getting Kills while Aiming Down Sights in the applicable mode with the Optic equipped.
Reticle Challenges and Unlocks are bound to each individual Optic, not any specific Weapon. This means that you can make progress towards Reticles for your favorite Optic with any compatible Weapon. Whenever you’re using that Optic you’re progressing towards its next Reticle unlock.
Unlock a Reticle, and you can fix it to the compatible Optic anywhere it can be equipped in any mode. For example, if you unlock a Reticle from Zombies, and you prefer its look over all other Reticles, you can equip it to that Optic in Multiplayer and Call of Duty: Warzone as you wish.
Optic Availability Note: All weapons share Optics, but some weapons – like Sniper Rifles – have specialized Optics are only available for particular weapon types. Check your Optics lists in-game for all those that are available. Optics are available for all Primary Weapons and Pistols.
Reticle Highlights
An impressive variety of Reticle colors and shapes are available for you to unlock, and the following is a showcase of available Reticles:
