Each Modern Warfare 2 Mastery Camo<\/strong> may be purely cosmetic, but they immediately showcase dedication. Obtaining these camos is no easy task, so whenever you bump into a player with one of them, you know they\u2019re not messing around. While getting the classic Gold Camo<\/strong> in Modern Warfare 2 is straightforward enough, the more exclusive skins will require some patience and diligence from you. With that in mind, here\u2019s how to unlock Mastery Camos in Modern Warfare 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How Modern Warfare 2 Camo works<\/h2>\n

First things first, if you\u2019re wondering about how Modern Warfare 2 Base camos work compared to previous games, here\u2019s what you need to know. Currently, there are 186 base camos available across a dozen different categories. It\u2019s quite a lot to parse, but the upside is that you don\u2019t need to unlock them for every single weapon. Instead, once you\u2019ve unlocked one, that base camo becomes available as an option for all of your guns, which is neat.<\/p>\n

This is perfect for players who may not be interested in the long and often tiring grind involved with Mastery Camos. Plus, there are some neat options available\u2014they aren\u2019t just different colors splashed on top of the weapon.<\/p>\n

If you want to browse through the list and check them yourself, \u00a0head over to the Weapons tab, select your Multiplayer Loadout, click on Gunsmith above any eligible weapon, and then switch over to the Customize tab. From here you can open the Camo menu and check all of the categories on the bottom right panel. If you see a particular camo you like, hovering over it is going to display the corresponding weapon and the challenge you need to complete using said weapon.<\/p>\n

Now, if you do want to go through the grind to get the most exclusive Modern Warfare 2 camos, start setting some time aside for the tasks ahead. Each weapon has four camos, each with its own challenge required to unlock it. Finishing these four tasks is the first step towards the prestige camos<\/strong>, which are under the Completionist tab in the camo category menu of any gunsmithable weapon.<\/p>\n

If you still don\u2019t have access to any of the base challenges, hovering over the locked camo will let you know which level you need to hit. The requirements are different for each weapon, so keep this in mind and plan ahead accordingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you thought that unlocking the Gold Camo wasn\u2019t that hard, here\u2019s where it gets complicated. To unlock the Platinum Camo<\/strong> in Modern Warfare 2, you first need to complete all Gold Camo Challenges of the weapon\u2019s class. Once this is done, you\u2019re free to do the Platinum Camo Challenge for any of the weapons of that class.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, the task to unlock the Modern Warfare 2 Orion Camo<\/strong> is the toughest by far. This weapon skin tasks you with completing all 51 Polyatomic Camo Challenges. The upside is that there isn\u2019t an Orion Camo Challenge specifically\u2014it\u2019ll become available for all weapons right away. A silver lining after all of those hours spent.<\/p>\n

Modern Warfare 2 Polyatomic Camo<\/span><\/h2>\n

We still have ways to go. If you\u2019re looking to unlock the Modern Warfare 2 Polyatomic Camo<\/strong>, you\u2019ll need to complete the Platinum Camo in all 51 weapons available at launch. Once this is done, you\u2019ll have access to the Polyatomic Camo Challenge in all weapons, so it\u2019s up to you to pick which ones you\u2019re interested in from there.<\/p>\n

Modern Warfare 2 Gold Camo<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you want to unlock the Gold Camo<\/strong> in Modern Warfare 2, you need to complete all four challenges for the base camos of the weapon of your choosing. Basically, if you\u2019re looking at the weapon\u2019s camo category screen, you need to unlock the four skins in the left bottom corner. Once that\u2019s settled, you\u2019ll have access to the Gold Camo Challenge for the weapon, and you’ll get the Gold Camo upon completion.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for an extra challenge, as well as rewards for your troubles, there are Mastery Challenges available for all Modern Warfare 2 weapons. Thankfully, the steps are far more straightforward, and usually go like this:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gold Mastery<\/strong>: Get 100 kills while using the Gold Camo\u00a0Platinum Mastery<\/strong>: Get 200 kills while using the Platinum Camo\u00a0Polyatomic Mastery<\/strong>: Get 300 kills while using the Polyatomic Camo\u00a0Orion Mastery<\/strong>: Get 400 kills while using the Orion Camo\u00a0<\/p>\n

All four Weapon Mastery Challenges are unique to each weapon, and so are the rewards. Completing each mastery grants you an emblem and calling card of the same color. Moreover, if you finish all of them, you\u2019ll obtain a weapon charm. This may or may not sound enticing to you, but if you really want to brag that you\u2019ve unlocked absolutely everything to other players, that charm is your champion medal.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
