Urban Camouflage Intervention Thermal Sight MW2

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 CoD Points logo BO250 each, with the exception of Golden Camouflage, which costs CoD Points logo BO50,000 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”.

Call of Duty 4: Modern WarfareEdit

  • Alternate Desert Camouflage - A camouflage found on the M21 in "The Bog" and in "All In" using the "Give All" command.
  • Unknown Ghillie Camouflage - A camouflage based on the Ghillie Suit, that is exclusive to the M21 in "Blackout" and "All Ghilled Up".
  • Desert Camouflage - A camouflage based on brown and beige colors. Available immediately.

  • Digital Camouflage - A camouflage based on gray and black colors. Unlocked at 25 headshots.
  • Blue Tiger Camouflage - A camouflage based on blue and black colors. Unlocked at 75 headshots (50 for shotguns).

  • Golden Camouflage - A golden camouflage. Complete all challenges for that category of weapon (for example, a golden AK-47 requires all of the assault rifles' challenges complete). Once all challenges are completed for a category of weapon, players will unlock a gold covered variant of one particular weapon from that category. Players can only unlock gold camouflage versions of the AK-47, Mini Uzi, M1014, M60E4 and Dragunov in this manner. Golden Camouflage is also unlocked automatically for the Desert Eagle at Level 55.

Camouflage is also available in the campaign, available for any type of weapon that supports camouflage.

TriviaEdit

GeneralEdit

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2Edit

  • 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 OpsEdit

  • 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 3Edit

  • 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 IIEdit

  • 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: GhostsEdit

Call of Duty: Advanced WarfareEdit

  • 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 IIIEdit

  • 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
