Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 brings back the iconic camo grind for its Multiplayer and Zombies offerings. Players who are willing to sink dozens of hours into either game type can unlock stunning mastery camos for Black Ops 6's wide roster of weapons. There are dozens of camos up for grabs this year, including the return of Treyarch's iconic Dark Matter pinnacle camo.
While the path to Dark Matter is fairly long, it's far from painful. There aren't many difficult camo challenges this year, and you can start the camo grind the second you unlock a new weapon—leveling guns is no longer a prerequisite. Let's dive into how the camo grind works in Black Ops 6, then showcase every single camo challenge you'll find in BO6's Multiplayer offerings.
Updated May 17, 2025, by Charles Burgar: Season 3 has added a handful of new weapons to Black Ops 6, including some classic weapons from MW2019 like the HDR and Kilo 141. We've updated this guide to include every special camo for Season 3's new weapons.
How Mastery Camos Work In Multiplayer
Mastery camos work much in the same way as MW2 and MW3, but the challenges you'll need to complete this year have been significantly streamlined. Every weapon in Black Ops 6 has three distinct camo tiers:
- Military: Base camos that are unlocked by performing headshot kills or similar actions.
- Special: Unique camo designs that are tied to a weapon-specific challenge.
- Mastery: Visually striking camos that must be unlocked through a time-consuming grind.
Unlike past CoD titles, camo challenges are no longer locked behind weapon level. You can start the Military camo grind the second you pick up a new weapon.
Additionally, camo progress is not reset when you Prestige.
Military camos are the starting point for every gun. Each weapon has the same ten camos to unlock, most of which are tied to headshot kills. Unlike previous CoDs, these camos are weapon-bound, not account-bound. If you get Red Tiger on one weapon, it won't be unlocked for everything else.
Special camos are available once you complete the gun's Military camo challenges. These are weapon specific and tend to be more specific, such as requiring 50 kills with a certain perk package active. Each weapons has two Special camos up for grabs, both of which can be unlock asynchronously.
Mastery camos are the bread and butter of this camo grind. They're structured similarly to MW3, broken up into four distinct tiers that build off one another. Gold is unlocked once you acquire both Special camos for your weapon. Diamond requires you to unlock Gold for the entire weapon archetype (assault rifles, SMG, etc.) and complete a slightly harder challenge.
If you manage to get Diamond on a whopping 33 weapons—most of BO6's weapon roster—then you can start completing Dark Spine challenges. Get all 33 of those challenges complete, and you'll reach the last tier of camo challenges: Dark Matter.
