Black Ops 7: Camo Challenges - Unlock All Multiplayer Camos
The grind is back. With the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, a new season of multiplayer progression has begun, and for dedicated players, that means one thing: unlocking every single weapon camo. This year, the journey to the ultimate Mastery camos is a rewarding challenge filled with dozens of unique designs, from tactical patterns to mind-bending animated skins.
The progression system in Black Ops 7 feels both familiar and refined. Weapon XP and levels are unified across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone, meaning every match you play contributes to your arsenal. However, the coveted Mastery camos have distinct unlock paths for Multiplayer and Zombies. This guide focuses exclusively on the Multiplayer challenges you’ll need to conquer to deck out your favorite weapons and showcase your dedication on the battlefield.
How the Black Ops 7 Camo System Works
The path to mastery is straightforward but demanding. Every primary and secondary weapon in the game has a set of Base Camos that must be unlocked first. Completing all Base Camo challenges for a single weapon will grant you the prestigious Gold camo. From there, you can begin working your way up the Mastery tiers: Platinum, Obsidian, and the awe-inspiring final camo, Nebula.
Each weapon features a set of 12 Base Camo categories, with each category tied to a specific type of challenge that unlocks as you level up the weapon.
All BO7 Base Camo Challenges
While the exact number of kills or specific actions may vary slightly between weapon classes, the challenge categories remain consistent. To unlock the 12 Base Camos for any given weapon, you will need to complete the following tasks:
- Woodland: Get a set number of standard eliminations with the weapon.
- Digital: Get eliminations while aiming down sights (ADS).
- Urban: Get eliminations with headshots.
- Reptile: Get eliminations while crouched or sliding.
- Tiger: Get eliminations shortly after reloading.
- Stripes: Get eliminations while your operator is injured (health is low).
- Classic: Achieve a set number of double kills.
- Geometric: Get eliminations on enemies who are stunned, flashed, or affected by your tactical equipment.
- Fun: Get eliminations with the weapon using no attachments.
- Abstract: Get eliminations while you are strafing.
- Sticker: Get a set number of triple kills.
- Skulls: Achieve a 3-kill streak with the weapon a set number of times.
Completing all 12 of these challenge sets for a single weapon is the first major step in your journey and will automatically unlock the Gold Mastery Camo for that weapon.

The Base Camos are just the beginning. The true measure of a master is seen in the four shimmering Mastery Camos, each requiring significant time and skill to acquire.

Nebula Camo
The final, ultimate prize. Nebula is a fully animated camo that depicts a swirling galaxy across your weapon's surface, shifting and shimmering with every movement. It is the definitive status symbol in Black Ops 7.

Classic Black Ops Camos Make a Return
One of the most exciting additions this year is the return of several fan-favorite camos from past Black Ops titles. Nostalgia plays a big role in Black Ops 7, and players who accomplished specific career milestones will find some familiar patterns waiting for them.
While a full list is still being compiled, we can confirm that select camos inspired by designs from Black Ops 2 are available through special challenges in the new "Legacy" tab of the camo menu. Keep an eye out for updated versions of timeless classics that will let you bring a piece of history into every modern firefight.
Black Ops 7 Camo Challenges FAQ
Q: Do Zombie camos count toward multiplayer Mastery Camos like Nebula?
A: No. While weapon XP is shared between modes, the Multiplayer and Zombies modes have completely separate camo progression tracks and their own unique final Mastery Camos.
Q: Can I use my unlocked BO7 camos in Warzone?
A: Yes. Thanks to the unified progression system, any multiplayer or zombie camo you unlock for a Black Ops 7 weapon will be available for you to use in Call of Duty: Warzone.
Q: How many Base Camos are there for each weapon?
A: Each weapon available at launch has 12 distinct Base Camo categories that must be completed to unlock the Gold Camo.
Q: Do I need to unlock camos for new DLC weapons to keep my Mastery Camos?
A: No, Mastery Camos like Platinum and Nebula are tied to the set of weapons available at the game's launch. You do not need to complete challenges for post-launch DLC weapons to unlock or maintain your mastery rewards, but new weapons will have their own full set of camos to earn.
