How To Unlock Every Zombies Mastery Camo in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 brings back one of the community's most beloved progression systems: the Mastery camo grind. Whether you're running high-round strategies, speed-farming contracts in open-world Zombies, or simply leveling your guns on your way to stronger Pack-A-Punch tiers, the camo system gives you dozens of milestones to chase across every weapon category. In Black Ops 7 Zombies, the path to Mastery is more structured than previous years, featuring a three-tier system-Military, Special, and Mastery, with its own unique challenges.

If you're planning to show off with the animated Infestation camo swirling mass of black tendrils that engulfs your gun, the guide breaks down every requirement you'll need to complete for each weapon type. Here's a full look at how Zombies Mastery camos work in Black Ops 7 and how to unlock them efficiently.

How Mastery Camos Work in Black Ops 7 Zombies

The camo system in Zombies mirrors the structure familiar to long-time Call of Duty players but adds several unique challenge types that take advantage of the new open-world mechanics, Field Upgrades, and ammo mods. There are three camo tiers to complete:

1. Military Camos

These are your base challenges and must be completed first.

·Most guns require 100-1,000 critical kills, scaling by tiers.

·Shotguns, launchers, and melee weapons differ by requiring total kills, point-blank kills, or other close-range objectives.

2. Special Camos

Once you unlock all 10 Military camos for a weapon, you'll gain access to that gun's Special camo set.

·Every weapon has unique challenge parameters, ranging from ammo-mod eliminations to streak-based tasks or Pack-A-Punch kills.

3. Mastery Camos

After the Special set is complete, you begin working toward weapon-class Mastery camos.

There are four Mastery camos total, earned in this order:

1. Golden Dragon - rapid multikill challenges.

2. Bloodstone - long streaks without taking damage.

3. Doomsteel - elite zombie eliminations.

4. Infestation - awarded once Doomsteel is unlocked on 30 weapons, making it the ultimate Zombies camo.

You can track all progress through:

Career → Challenges → Camos → Tracked & Near Complete

Assault Rifle Zombies Camo Challenges

Assault rifles offer some of the most consistent camo challenges due to their easy headshot potential and balanced ammo economy.

Assault Rifle Military Camos

Each AR requires the full ladder of 100 → 1,000 critical kills, progressing through camos such as Char, Tundra, Mire, Ravine, and Emerald Snake.

Assault Rifle Special Camos

Each AR has three unique Special camo challenges:

·M15 MOD 0 - hipfire kills, consecutive crits, Fireworks kills

·AK-27 - double-crit shots, Napalm Burst eliminations, streaks without taking damage

·MXR-17 - rapid critical streaks, no-reload kills, Cryo Freeze kills

·X9 Maverick - Shadow Rift kills, Pack-A-Punch eliminations, armored zombie kills

·DS20 Mirage - no-damage streaks, eliminations with high-tier armor, Dead Wire kills

·Peacekeeper MK1 - kills at Rare+ rarity, Field Upgrade kills, tactical-equipment kills

Assault Rifle Mastery Camos

·Golden Dragon - 10 rapid kills × 15 times

·Bloodstone - 20-kill streaks without damage × 5

·Doomsteel - eliminate 10 elite zombies

·Infestation - unlock Doomsteel on 30 different weapons

SMG Zombies Camo Challenges

SMGs feature some of the fastest Special camo challenges thanks to their high fire rate and ease of use, making them excellent for early-game grinding.

SMG Military Camos

Like ARs, all SMGs follow the tiered 100 → 1,000 critical kill structure.

SMG Special Camos

·Ryden 45K - Dead Wire eliminations, rapid crit streaks, Cryo Freeze kills

·RK-9 - Napalm Burst kills, armored eliminations, consecutive crit kills

Identical to AR requirements:

Shotgun Zombies Camo Challenges

Shotguns shake things up with point-blank kill requirements and close-quarters Special tasks.

Shotgun Military Camos

Unlike ARs and SMGs, shotguns require 100 → 1,000 point-blank kills, emphasizing close-range engagements.

Shotgun Special Camos

·M10 Breacher - rapid crit kills, Brain Rot kills, consecutive critical kills

·Echo 12 - point-blank kills, Cryo Freeze eliminations, streaks without damage

·Akita - no-damage streaks, Napalm Burst kills, point-blank kills

(More shotgun entries follow similar patterns.)

Shotgun Mastery Camos

Same as all other primaries:

·Rapid kills, damage-free streaks, elite kills, Doomsteel → Infestation progression.

Final Tips for Unlocking the Infestation Camo Fast

·Use ammo mods early (especially on Special challenges).

·Always Pack-A-Punch to ensure consistent multikills.

·Focus on armored zones and Rift events for armored or elite zombie tasks.

·Pair Field Upgrades with your challenge type, such as Energy Mine for rapid kills or Frost Blast for crowd control.

·Consider leveling weapons in Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies if you want to breeze through early Military and Special camo tiers.
