Another year, another Call of Duty game, another Camo grind. Black Ops 7 has more Mastery Camos to get compared to recent games, with the addition this year of the campaign endgame, which gets its own set.
That makes 16 in total, four from Campaign, Zombies, Multiplayer, and Warzone, respectively.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Mastery Camos — at a glance
Mastery Tier | Campaign | Multiplayer | Zombies | Warzone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Tier 1 | Molten Gold | Shattered Gold | Golden Dragon | Golden Damascus |
Tier 2 | Moonstone | Arclight | Bloodstone | Starglass |
Tier 3 | Chroma Flux | Tempest | Doomsteel | Absolute Zero |
Tier 4 | Genesis | Singularity | Infestation | Apocalypse |
Before attempting the Mastery Camo challenges, you first must complete the 9 Military Camos and 3 Special Camos on each weapon.
The Special Camo challenges will vary, but for the Military Camos in Multiplayer we're back to hitting headshots as in Black Ops 6. The good news is that this year you only need to hit 80 headshots, not 100.
After that, you'll enter the Special Camos, and these will vary. Using Multiplayer as the example, sometimes you'll have to get kills while moving, sometimes you'll have to get kills with an underbarrel launcher, sometimes use a specific Specialty or Wildcard.
The Mastery Camos this year are a little different. When you reach the final Mastery Camo, once you meet the requirements to get it, you get it for every weapon at once.
The challenges to get there are similar to Black Ops 6, but thankfully, there's no requirement to get a series of Triple Kills with any of them. The headshots are the longest part of the process, once you've got them done, the rest isn't so bad.
How to unlock Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Campaign Mastery Camos
Mastery Camo | Requirement to Unlock |
|---|---|
Molten Gold (First) | Eliminate 20 Special enemies. |
Moonstone (Second) | Unlock Molten Gold on all weapons of the same type then in Endgame, eliminate 100 Zone III or Zone IV enemies. |
Chroma Flux (Third) | Unlock Moonstone on 30 total weapons, then in Endgame, eliminate 10 Elite enemies. |
Genesis (Final) | Unlock Chroma Flux on 30 total weapons. (Unlocks automatically) |
The campaign's first Mastery Camo is Molten Gold, which I think is the best of the gold camos in Black Ops 7. From there we move up to the gemtastic and sparkly Moonstone.
The final two are the swirly Chroma Flux, and the absolutely gorgeous emerald colored Genesis camo.
How to unlock Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Multiplayer Mastery Camos
Mastery Camo | Requirement to Unlock |
|---|---|
Shattered Gold (First) | Get 3 kills without dying 10 times. |
Arclight (Second) | Unlock Shattered Gold on all weapons of the same type, then get 10 Double Kills or better. |
Tempest (Third) | Unlock Arclight on 30 total weapons, then get 5 Kills without dying 3 times. |
Singularity (Final) | Unlock Tempest on 30 total weapons. (Unlocks automatically) |
Of course, multiplayer has a set of Mastery Camos to grab, and they'll be some of the first that folks chase. As is traditional, there is Shattered Gold to start things off, but from there it deviates from a more standard diamond, but keeping the gem theme with the crystal-like Arclight.
The stormy Tempest and the space-inspired Singularity round off the collection. Purple fans are eating well again this year.
How to unlock Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies Mastery Camos
Mastery Camo | Requirement to Unlock |
|---|---|
Golden Dragon (First) | Get 10 Kills rapidly 15 times. |
Bloodstone (Second) | Unlock Golden Dragon on all weapons of the same type, then get 20 or more consecutive kills without taking damage 5 times. |
Doomsteel (Third) | Unlock Bloodstone on 30 total weapons, then Eliminate 10 Elite Zombies. |
Infestation (Final) | Unlock Doomsteel on 30 total weapons. (Unlocks automatically) |
The Zombies Mastery Camos are very definitely themed to the mode, and there are some bangers. Starting out with Golden Dragon, which covers your weapon in, what you assume, are gold dragon scales. Bloodstone is the gem-inspired camo, with a red/pink shimmer to it.
The top two tiers for Zombies are the industrial-themed Doomsteel, and the color changing Infestation which is, as the name implies, infested.
How to unlock Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Warzone Mastery Camos
Mastery Camo | Requirement to Unlock |
|---|---|
Golden Damascus (First) | Get 3 Kills in a single match 5 times. |
Starglass (Second) | Unlock Golden Damascus on all weapons of the same type, then get 5 Kills without dying 5 times. |
Absolute Zero (Third) | Unlock Starglass on 30 total weapons, then get 10 Eliminations while in the Top 10. |
Apocalypse (Final) | Unlock Absolute Zero on 30 total weapons. (Unlocks automatically) |
The big caveat here is that the Warzone Mastery Camos aren't available to unlock at the launch of Black Ops 7. They'll become available when the battle royale gets properly integrated with the launch of Season 01.
The gold camo, Golden Damascus, is, I think, the weakest of the four gold camos in this year's game. It feels a little too yellow for my liking. From there we move to Starglass.
Then the top tiers and the ultimate Warzone camo grind, the ice-cold Absolute Zero, and the dark, twisted, Apocalypse.
Weapon Prestige Camos
Additionally, individual weapons in Black Ops 7 will have yet more camos to unlock through the Weapon Prestige system. The first two prestige tiers will unlock a new Universal Camo each, with the final coming when you hit Weapon Prestige Master 250.
These camos can be used on other weapons, though, but can only be unlocked by completing the relevant Weapon Prestige requirements on their specific weapon.
In between the Universal Camos, there are three weapon-specific Prestige Camos unlocked at Prestige Master 100, 150, and 200 respectively.
Given the amount of weapons in Black Ops 7, completing the entire camo collection is going to be one heck of a grind. I do hope whatever Calling Card is rewarded upon completion isn't a let-down!
If you want to see a little more of the Mastery Camos and their respective animated effects, Activision posted a short teaser reel as part of its big Call of Duty NEXT reveal.
