Although the Black Ops 6 Mastery Camo system will feel familiar to veteran Call of Duty players, the grind has been significantly overhauled. This time around, even Warzone has its own Mastery Camo to unlock, so you’ll have to spend some time in the battle royale if you want to collect them all.
Each weapon has access to a suite of unique camos, with more coming as new guns are added. These begin with Military Camos and then Special Camos, with each weapon having a unique variant of each pattern. Most prestigious of all, however, are the Mastery Camos from each mode, which—you guessed it—require you to master each weapon to unlock.
While we recommend starting with the best Black Ops 6 loadouts, you’ll have to use them all eventually. So, here’s every Mastery Camo in Black Ops 6 and how to unlock each one.
Black Ops 6 multiplayer Mastery Camos
Unlike recent Call of Duty entries, multiplayer camos are back to the simple headshot requirements of yesteryear—for the most part at least. Once you’ve unlocked the Military Camos, you’ll move on to the Special Camos, which have more specific unlock requirements for each weapon and are generally tied to the playstyle of the gun. Finally, you'll have to unlock the top-tier Mastery Camos, requiring the most legwork.

Black Ops 6 Zombies Mastery Camos
In Black Ops 6 Zombies, you’ll want to aim for the undead’s weak spots to progress through the Military Camos.

You’ll then have the usual affair of unique Special challenges and completionist Mastery objectives to tick off.

Black Ops 6 Military and Special Camos
Every weapon in Black Ops 6 has a unique track of Military and Special Camos to unlock across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. In order to unlock the higher tiers, you must first complete the nine Military Camos for your weapon of choice. These must be completed in order and, once unlocked, these camos can’t be used on other weapons. Thankfully, unlike recent Call of Duty entries, no weapon leveling is required to start progressing through these challenges.
Special Camos, on the other hand, can be completed in either order and can be used on any weapon. The only caveat is that these camos can only be used on other weapons once you have completed the Military Camo Challenges for that weapon in at least one mode. Once you’ve got Specials out of the way, you’re on your way to earning the Mastery Camos.
Now, this undeniably takes a lot of work, but don’t worry, camos are not reset after entering Prestige. Similar to weapon progression, reticles, and your loadouts (once you’ve unlocked the weapons again), you can continue the camo grind whenever you’re ready.
If you’re looking to collect all 12 Mastery Camos across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone, then you’ve got a very long road ahead of you. The good news is that since the Mastery Camos Challenges require a specific number of weapons in each category, this challenge won’t pile up if you’re late to the game. In fact, it arguably gets easier. If there’s a launch weapon you don’t like, then you can always wait until post-launch updates add a new one that you can complete instead.
