Weapon Camouflage

Weapon Camouflage is a colored pattern applied to weapons to allow them to blend in to environments, although it is more often used for players to "show off" their achievements in-game as in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 camouflages are unlocked by Headshots.

Camouflages can be applied to primary weapons in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ,  Call of Duty: Black Ops and ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. In Black Ops'', camouflages can be purchased for 250 each, with the exception of Golden Camouflage which costs 50000  and is available only after the player has prestiged 14 times. Camouflages were planned to be in Call of Duty: World at War, but Treyarch canceled this idea to save memory. In addition (according to them), camouflage on most weapons did not look appealing.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Weapon camouflages return in Modern Warfare 3. The final camouflages are classified (with instead the Modern Warfare 2 camouflages being used as placeholders at Call of Duty XP), but it has been revealed that maxing out a weapon's level will reward the player with Golden camouflage. Camouflages will be earned by ranking up one's weapon rather through headshot challenges. There are no secondary weapon camouflages present in the game.

For now there are 11 known weapon camouflages :
 * Classic
 * Snow
 * Multicam
 * Digital Urban
 * Hex
 * Choco
 * Snake
 * Blue
 * Red
 * Autumn
 * Gold

Trivia

 * In Call of Duty 4 and World at War game files there are references to the Prestige camouflage. The description says "Go get some sun", and codename for unlock condition is "PERKS_ALL_PLAY_AND_NO_WORK".
 * In Modern Warfare 2, it is possible to apply camouflage to secondary weapons through use of modding. However, the camouflages won't work for G18, M93 Raffica, Ranger, Model 1887, or any of the handguns and launchers.
 * On the Wii version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, weapon camouflages only appear on the first person model of the weapon, and the third person model will have the default skin. This is due to the Wii's graphical limitations.
 * In the mission "WMD", the AUG has a unique type of Yukon camouflage.
 * In early Modern Warfare 2 development stages, the Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare woodland camouflage was used instead of the current one. This can be found within the game files as the "bushdweller" camouflage.
 * For the PC version of Modern Warfare 2, it is possible to install custom camouflages.
