Unlocking weapon skins in Black Ops 7 is not just a visual reward — it is part of the long-form grind that defines every season of multiplayer. Whether you are working on a single weapon or preparing to go all the way to Singularity, every camo tier builds towards the final blueprint.
How Multiplayer camos progress in Black Ops 7
Each weapon begins with Military camos, the foundation skins earned through kill-based challenges. After completing them for a weapon, Special camos unlock, offering more advanced objectives tied to attachment use, movement, and accuracy.
Finishing Special tiers leads into the Mastery track, which includes Shattered Gold, Arclight, Tempest, and finally Singularity — the last stop for complete camo perfection .
Military Camos – Early grind progression
Military camos are universal across weapons, only varying in the number of eliminations required. These are a warm-up before the real grind begins.
| Camo Name | General Challenge Requirement |
|---|---|
| Underbrush | 5 Kills / Headshots / Point-Blank (weapon dependent) |
| Woodland | 10 Headshots/Kills |
| Slate Digital | 15–20 eliminations type-based |
| Redwood | 20–30 eliminations type-based |
| Poison | 25–40 eliminations type-based |
| Toxic | 30–50 eliminations type-based |
| Mountain | 35–60 eliminations type-based |
| Stalker | 40–70 eliminations type-based |
| Ruby Snake | 50–80 eliminations type-based |
Military camo requirements differ per weapon, but follow patterns — rifles lean headshot-focused, melee favors raw kills, and shotguns reward close-range aggression .
Special Camo Tier – Diamondback, Raptor, Mainframe
Once every Military camo is unlocked for a weapon, Special camos become available. These are more specific and often force you to change your playstyle.
Special camo identity
| Special Camo | What the challenge usually demands |
|---|---|
| Diamondback | Hip-fire, moving kills, objective kills, attachments-based elimination requirements |
| Raptor | Reload-fresh streaks, hit-fire bursts, no-attachment eliminations, sprint-based kills |
| Mainframe | Destruction tasks, high-attachment kills, tactical-equipment kills, launcher eliminations |
These challenges differ per weapon category, ensuring that SMG mains play differently than sniper mains, and shotguns demand movement-heavy runs instead of precision aim .
Multiplayer Mastery Camos – Final progression
Mastery skins are the true finish line. Unlocking them takes every camo in the chain, and only the most consistent players reach the end.
| Mastery Camo | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Shattered Gold | 3 kills without dying ×10 after all Special camos unlocked |
| Arclight | 10 double-kill medals after Shattered Gold completion |
| Tempest | 5 kills without dying ×3, requires Arclight on 30 weapons |
| Singularity | Unlock Tempest on 30 total weapons — the final grind wall |
Once Tempest is unlocked across 30 weapons, Singularity opens up as the final universal reward .
Tips for grinding BO7 multiplayer camos
A camo grind is as much strategy as it is skill. Efficiency matters.
1. Headshots early, movement later
Most Military camos revolve around clean shot accuracy. Front-load your grind on smaller maps where engagements are predictable.
2. Use class builds based on the challenge
Suppressors for Diamondback, high-magnification optics for long-range requirements, or no-attachment builds for Raptor progress — all are mandatory depending on weapon path.
3. Progress multiple guns at once
While one weapon chases Special challenges, another can be clearing Military. You avoid burnout and keep XP flowing.
4. Save easy weapons for Tempest unlock
If Singularity is your goal, let light recoil weapons or fast-killing SMGs fill out the weapon count requirement.
How long does it take to complete every camo?
With Multiplayer, Zombies, and Co-Op each offering 16 camos across 30+ weapons, full completion is a massive time investment . The Military grind is quick, but Special and Mastery stretch the journey into a long-term progression path.
