Here’s a full rundown of the new Camos system in Modern Warfare 2 as well as how you can unlock all of the Mastery Camos.
Whether you want your gun to look cool or to show off in Multiplayer, weapon Camos are the best way to do that.
However, unlike past Call of Duty titles, the way you unlock Camos in MW2 is pretty different. Plus, there’s a brand-new system for Mastery Camos in the game too!
Modern Warfare 2 Camos System Explained
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has a brand-new Camos system which is split up into Base Camos and Mastery Camos.
Each weapon has between 1 and 4 Base Camo Challenges and completing them unlocks a unique Camo that you can use on all of your weapons.
Weapons that you can customize using the Gunsmith 2.0 system have 4 Camo Challenges while weapons that you can’t put attachments on like the RPG-7 have one Camo challenge.
Meanwhile, Mastery Camos are specific to each individual weapon. Players must unlock a significant portion of Base Camos before they can start unlocking Mastery Camos – but more on those later.
How to Unlock Base Camos in MW2
To unlock Base Camos in Modern Warfare 2, players must complete a challenge while using a certain weapon.
Not every Base Camo Challenge is unlocked straight away and you will need to level up some weapons to max level to unlock its final Base Camo Challenge.
Even if the way Camo Challenges work in MW2 is not familiar, the tasks players need to do to unlock Camos are. For instance, the Camo Challenges for the M4 ask players to get a certain amount of kills, kills without reloading, double kills, and triple kills.
Remember that all Base Camos in MW2 are universal. Therefore, if you unlock a Base Camo with the M4, you can use it on any other weapon in the game.
How Many Base Camos Are There in MW2?
There are over 180 different Base Camos in MW2 at launch, according to the Call of Duty Blog.
What’s more, new Camos will be added to MW2 with every post-launch weapon that comes to the game. This means that players will have more Camos to unlock with every new season of Modern Warfare 2.
