In Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (BO7), the Zombies mode introduces an extensive camo progression system, featuring everything from fundamental military skins to prestigious Mastery camos. To unlock these, you’ll need to progress through several tiers for each weapon: Military → Special → Mastery. For dedicated players, conquering every camo challenge serves as a prestigious emblem of your dedication and expertise.
Below you’ll find a breakdown of Zombies-specific camo challenges: what they are, how to unlock them, and what each tier demands.
Zombies Camo Challenges Overview
Military Camos
Unlock the initial tier of camos for every weapon here. Requirements typically focus on achieving “critical kills” across various weapon types, with minor differences based on the weapon class.
| Weapon Type | Unlock Sequence / Camo Names* | Challenge |
|---|---|---|
| Standard weapons (Assault Rifles, SMGs, LMGs, Marksman Rifles, Snipers, Pistols) | Char → Tundra → Flood Digital → Cedar → Marshland → Mire → Ravine → Skulk → Emerald Snake | Accumulate between 100 and 1,000 Critical Kills progressively per camo. |
| Shotguns | Char → Tundra → Flood Digital → Cedar → Marshland → Mire → Ravine → Skulk | Typically Eliminations/eliminations with relevant kill methods, per weapon type. |
| Launchers / Melee / Explosive-type weapons | Similar structure (9 Military camos) | Typically, Eliminations/eliminations with relevant kill methods, per weapon type. |
*Exact camo names may vary slightly depending on weapon class and game updates.
Once you unlock all 9 Military Camos for a given weapon, you unlock the ability to begin Special Camo challenges.
Special Camos
Upon completing Military Camos, every weapon unlocks 3 Special Camos, each presenting its own distinct challenge. These differ by weapon and promote a variety of playstyles (hip-fire kills, armor kills, pack-a-punch kills, ammo-mod kills, critical-kill strings, and more).
With a multitude of weapons and various Special camo conditions, detailing every single one would be overwhelming. However, let’s highlight a few examples specifically for Assault Rifles:
| Example Assault Rifle | Special Camo Challenge |
|---|---|
| Some Rifle (e.g. M15 Mod 0) | Get 300 hip-fire kills. |
| Another Rifle | Get 3 Critical Kills consecutively 5 times. |
| Yet Another | Get 10 kills without reloading 15 times. |
Each weapon features a unique trio of Special Camos. Once you’ve unlocked all three, you can dive into the exciting journey of the Mastery Camo grind.
Mastery Camos
Welcome to the ultimate and most coveted camo tier in Zombies mode. Unlock four exclusive Mastery Camos for Zombies: Golden Dragon, Bloodstone, Doomsteel, and Infestation.
| Mastery Camo | Unlock Challenge |
|---|---|
| Golden Dragon | Get 10 kills rapidly 15 times with a single weapon. |
| Bloodstone | With Golden Dragon unlocked on that weapon, get 20 or more consecutive kills without taking damage — 5 times. |
| Doomsteel | Eliminate 10 Elite Zombies with the weapon (after Bloodstone). |
| Infestation | Finally, unlock Doomsteel on 30 different weapons — then Infestation unlocks for all (Zombies) weapons. |
“Infestation” serves as the ultimate Zombies Mastery Camo — a testament to the dedication of players ready to put in the effort across a multitude of weapons.
Unlocking every camo in Zombies mode not only showcases your dedication but also provides a rewarding sense of achievement. Equipping “Infestation” or “Golden Dragon” in your arsenal showcases your status as a true BO7 Zombies veteran, demonstrating mastery across every weapon.
