Every MW4 Multiplayer weapon has three Special camos, each tied to a weapon level and a gun-specific challenge, such as 20 point-blank kills at level 26 on the M4. After those come Gold (15 kills in one match on any gun), then Platinum, Harmonic Break and Divergence, which change by weapon class. Below are all 33 weapons, plus a free table to download.
Activision has not published these challenges. Everything on this page is pre-launch data: the per-weapon Special camos come from a pre-launch gameplay video, and the class-wide Gold, Platinum and Harmonic Break rules also match what esports.gg published on October 15, 2026. We will check every row in-game when Multiplayer opens on October 23 and update this page.
MW4 camo challenges for all 33 weapons (download)
This table puts every weapon on one sheet: three Special camos with their unlock levels, then Gold, Platinum and Harmonic Break. Save it for launch day, or keep it open on a second screen while you grind.
Want to tick challenges off as you go? The same data is in our free MW4 camo tracker, which saves your progress on your device and shows which camos your weapon level has opened.
Rows to double-check in-game: the Warlord’s Platinum shows 50 hipfire kills on the sheet, while the class-wide rule is 125; the Mosin-Nagant’s second and third Special camos have no unlock level listed; and challenges marked † are our translation of the sheet’s wording.
How the MW4 camo order works
Each weapon goes through four layers in Multiplayer. Activision has only described the end of the chain itself, so treat the order as pre-launch information:
- Military camos: eight per weapon, unlocked by reaching weapon level milestones.
- Special camos: three per weapon. Each needs a weapon level, then a challenge that is different for every gun (the tables below).
- Completionist camos: Gold, Platinum, Harmonic Break and Divergence, in that order, with one challenge set per weapon class.
- Mastery camos: Mercurial Drift, Polyatomic Reforged and Orion Reforged, the three Multiplayer camos Activision named in August.
Weapon level gates the Special camos, so leveling comes first. Activision’s DMZ post says weapon progression is shared between Multiplayer and DMZ, and our MW4 Apex attachments guide covers how far each weapon levels.
MW4 Multiplayer Mastery CamosModern Warfare 4 Multiplayer mastery camo service, for the Special-to-Orion Reforged chain on this page.Coming soonView offerMW4 Gold, Platinum and Harmonic Break by weapon class
Gold is the one challenge that is the same on every gun. Platinum and Harmonic Break change by class.
| Weapon class | Gold | Platinum | Harmonic Break |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assault Rifles | 15 kills in one match | 50 headshot kills | 25 double kills |
| Submachine Guns | 15 kills in one match | 25 kills from behind | 50 hipfire kills |
| Shotguns | 15 kills in one match | 125 hipfire kills | 2 kills without reloading, 25 times |
| Light Machine Guns | 15 kills in one match | 3 kills without dying, 15 times | 2 kills without releasing the trigger, 25 times |
| Marksman Rifles | 15 kills in one match | 75 kills while prone | 75 one-shot kills |
| Sniper Rifles | 15 kills in one match | 75 kills while prone | 75 one-shot kills |
| Pistols | 15 kills in one match | 20 kills from behind | 40 hipfire kills |

| Melee | 15 kills in one match | 3 kills without dying, 15 times | 25 kills from behind |
Divergence has no challenge of its own. It unlocks once enough weapons in the class have Harmonic Break; the community-run CODMunity tracker lists 8 for the Axion. The count for other classes, and how many Golds open Platinum, are Not confirmed.

The levels are weapon levels. All three Special camos must be done before Gold opens on that gun.

* The supplied per-weapon sheet lists 50 hipfire kills for the Warlord’s Platinum, while the class-wide table above lists 125 for shotguns. This discrepancy remains unresolved until we can check in-game.
† Translated from the pre-launch sheet; the exact in-game wording has not been checked yet. The grenade launcher entries read as either a 40mm launcher or a 40-metre range in the sheet, so the exact requirement is unverified.
‡ Weapon-name mapping unverified: we matched this weapon from the sheet’s name and will confirm it in-game.
What comes after Divergence: the MW4 mastery camos
Mercurial Drift, Polyatomic Reforged and Orion Reforged are official names from Activision’s August 21 NEXT showcase. Their unlock challenges are not public yet. Warzone and DMZ have their own mastery camos on the same shared Camo Track; all 13 names are in our MW4 mastery camos guide.
Does camo progress start in Early Access?
Not in Campaign Early Access, which is campaign only. DMZ Early Access opens on October 20 for digital pre-orders, and Activision’s October 5 DMZ post says DMZ combat counts toward camo challenges. Whether that progress carries into the full launch is Not confirmed; see our MW4 DMZ Early Access guide.
Activision’s own Military Camo levels for the Han 86 are in our MW4 Military Camos guide.
