Weapon Camouflage

For the perk in Call of Duty: World at War, see Camouflage (perk).

The urban camouflage applied to an Intervention in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Weapon Camouflage, usually referred to as Camo, 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. In Call of Duty: Black Ops, camouflages can be purchased for 250 each, with the exception of Golden Camouflage, which costs 50,000 and is available only after the player has Prestiged 14 times. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, weapon camouflage is achieved by increasing the weapon level of a weapon. In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Black Ops III and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, they are achieved mostly through headshots, one-shot kills or aircraft destroyed depending on the weapon type. After the camouflages that require the aforementioned, there are different challenges to unlock them, such as killing a certain amount of enemies with no perks equipped. In Call of Duty: Ghosts they are achieved getting kills, assists, long shots, rescue kills, kills in one life, point blank kills, kills shortly after reloading, shortly after sliding, with no attachments, while leaning, while crouched, winning a clan war in gold division or higher, and leveling the clan up to clan level 23.

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.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Treyarch introduced DLC Camouflages which could be purchased in separate packs. Each comes with the camouflage, three custom reticles, as well as a Calling Card.

Camouflages can be on a weapon with a custom “paint job” from the in-game “Paintshop”.

Trivia

General

• In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: World at War game files there are references to a camouflage that would have been unlocked through Prestige Mode. The description says "Go get some sun" and codename for unlock condition is "PERKS_ALL_PLAY_AND_NO_WORK".

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

• In early Call of Duty: 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.
• If one has two of the same weapon with different camouflages and the same underbarrel, the camouflage will switch as the underbarrel is selected.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

• On the Wii version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, weapon camouflages only appear on the first-person model of the weapon, while the third-person model will have the default skin. This is due to the Wii's graphical limitations.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

• There were camouflages seen on secondary weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 trailers prior to release, but were cut out for unknown reason.
• In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, camouflage no longer covers optical attachments or heartbeat sensors.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

• There were several camos cut from the final version of Black Ops II, including an Electric camo, a Swamp camo similar to the ERDL camo and a Tiger camo with patterns of the Blue Tiger camo.
• In local play, camos are unavailable without a patch.

Call of Duty: Ghosts

• In the Extinction mode in Call of Duty: Ghosts, if the player equips an attachment found from a Search Pile, some weapons will equip a random camo as well.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

• In local play, camouflages are unavailable. Unlockable ones can be seen locked, but the challenges to unlock them are unavailable, while downloadable content camouflages are simply not available in local play.

​​Call of Duty: Black Ops III

• In Local Play, It is possible to equip camouflages on weapons that should not be able to have them, for example, Red Hex on the XR-2, or Woodlums on the Prizefighters

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered

• Despite not accepting camouflages, Bots have the ability to put camouflages on the Commander Desert Eagle.
