How to unlock Special camos in Black Ops 6
There are three camo categories for each gun in Black Ops 6: Military, Special, and Mastery. The Military category features nine camos, the same for every weapon in the game. However, the Special category includes two unique camos for a specific gun.
Special camos can only be unlocked once you have completed all Military challengers with the same weapon. For example, if you get 100 headshot kills in Multiplayer or 2,000 critical kills in Zombies with the XM4, the Special category will unlock, and you must complete two additional challenges to equip the Special camos to the gun.
Considering you have to work hard for them, it’s perhaps no surprise that the Special camos are far more distinctive than the standard ones available from the Military category. Not only do Special camos cover the whole weapon, including barrel, magazine, and grip, but a lot of them feature vibrant colors and standout patterns.
