Gold Camouflage

"Bling."

- Description from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Gold Camouflage is a camouflage pattern available in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
There are six weapons that can equip the Golden Camouflage. It is acquired by completing all the challenges for their respective weapon class, except for the Gold Desert Eagle, which is achieved when rank 55 is reached. This has no beneficial features over other camouflages, beyond their exclusivity. The player can check their progress for each weapon by going to barracks, selecting Challenges and view the type of gun they are trying to get Gold Camouflage for.

Golden weapons

 * Gold Desert Eagle - Reach Rank 55
 * M1014 - Complete all shotgun challenges (50 kills and 100 headshots for all shotguns).
 * Dragunov - Complete all sniper rifle challenges (100 kills and 150 head shots with all Sniper rifles).
 * Mini-Uzi - Complete all submachine gun challenges (150 kills and 150 headshots with all SMGs).

 * M60E4 - Complete all light machine gun challenges (150 kills and 150 headshots with all LMGs).

Call of Duty: World at War
The Golden Camouflage was originally slated to appear, along with Reich, Siberian, Royal, Yankee, and Rising Sun camouflages. However, all camouflages were removed before the beta.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Gold Camouflage was rumored to appear in Modern Warfare 2 but didn't, although a golden Desert Eagle can be found in the game files. This Desert Eagle, however, is modeled after the one in Call of Duty 4, as can be most easily noticed by the lack of the under-barrel laser, or that it cannot have any attachments, unlike the normal Desert Eagle in the game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops


Gold Camouflage is available in Call of Duty: Black Ops, and is available after the player has Prestiged 14 times. It costs. With Gold Camouflage, most metallic components of the gun are covered in gold plating, while wooden and plastic furniture is replaced with black, synthetic materials. This has the possible effect of obscuring emblems on certain guns. Golden camouflage is available for every primary weapon, and can also affect certain attachments as well. In addition to these, shotgun shells will also appear golden.

To use Gold Camouflage for any weapon, the player must be at least 14th Prestige and be willing to pay per Gold Camouflage. However, while it is not obtainable in Combat Training, it is automatically unlocked in Split Screen. The player can set the class loadouts in custom Private Matches to have golden camouflage on their primary weapons. There is also an easter egg to obtain a golden Crossbow, but the primary assault rifle must be gold first to perform this easter egg.

Trivia

 * In Call of Duty 4, the majority of guns that can have Gold Camouflage applied to them are those used by enemies in the campaign.
 * In Black Ops, the golden guns are much less colorful when previewed in Create-A-Class 2.0. This is likely caused by the lack of light being reflected by the weapon, which gives it its golden color.
 * On the Wii version of Black Ops, the Gold Camouflage is more like yellow than gold.
 * Also on the Wii version of Black Ops, wood parts are not replaced by synthetic material. This makes guns such as the FN FAL, M14, and AK47 look quite odd.
 * In Black Ops, the upgraded version of the Wunderwaffe DG-2, the Wunderwaffe DG-3 JZ has Golden Camouflage.
 * Gold Camouflage is applied to the Swarovski Scope, unlike all other weapons capable of equipping the ACOG.
 * Gold Camouflage is also applied to the Low Power Scope on the G11.
