Exclusive: Unlocking Commando Challenges in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Mastering Camo Challenges in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies

The pursuit of camos is a core element of the yearly Call of Duty experience, and Black Ops 6 Zombies continues this tradition. This guide details every camo challenge within the game's Zombies mode.

Unlocking Mastery Camos in Black Ops 6 Zombies

Camo progression in Black Ops 6 Zombies differs slightly from recent Call of Duty titles. It combines the classic headshot-focused camo grind from the Xbox 360 era with the base camo system of Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3.

Players must achieve specific kill milestones with each weapon (varying by weapon class) to unlock nine "Military Camos." These must be earned individually for each weapon. Unlocking all Military Camos for a weapon unlocks the Special Camo challenges. These challenges are weapon-specific but can be applied to any weapon after completing all Military Camos. The two Special Camos can be completed in any order. Completing both unlocks the first Mastery Camo challenge, leading to the Mystic Gold camo.

Unlocking Opal and Nebula Camos requires completing Mystic Gold challenges for a set number of weapons in each class, followed by the Opal Camo Challenge for 33 weapons. This progression then unlocks the Afterlife Camo challenges and the final Nebula Camo challenges. Remember, Mastery Camos are weapon-specific.
