Black Ops 7 Zombies camo challenges — complete list

Activision Brain

The camo grind is real in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with a complete guide to the BO7 Zombies camo challenges.

Black Ops 7 Zombies is packed with a huge variety of camos, each requiring skill, persistence, and effective strategy to unlock. Whether you’re going for Golden Dragon or the ultimate Infestation, tracking your progress is important.

Below, you’ll find a complete breakdown of all Black Ops 7 Zombies camo challenges, organized by weapon, so you can plan your grind and hit every milestone without missing a beat.

Just like in previous Black Ops titles and other modes, BO7 Zombies splits its camo grind into three tiers:

Military Camo
Special Camo
Mastery Camo

Military Camos require simple challenges that hand out pretty basic skins. Special and Mastery Camos, on the other hand, are where the real grind begins. They take longer, they’re tougher, but the cosmetics you unlock are way more worth it.

Treyarch has eased up on the camo requirements this year, making BO7‘s grind smoother than BO6. However, each weapon now has three Special Camo challenges instead of two.

Check below the complete list of Black Ops 7 Zombies camo challenges you’ll need to clear.

(Note that the Special Camo challenges are listed at the end to make tracking your progress easier)

BO7 Zombies Military Camo challenges

Your camo grind starts with the nine Military Camos, which you unlock in order by completing specific challenges. Every weapon has its own set, so you’ll need to clear them one by one for each gun. Once you’ve unlocked them, the camos are usable in any mode.

Char: 100 Critical Kills / Point Blank Kills for shotguns / eliminations for launchers and melee
Tundra: 200 Critical Kills / Point Blank Kills for shotguns / eliminations for launchers and melee
Flood Digital: 300 Critical Kills / Point Blank Kills for shotguns / eliminations for launchers and melee
Cedar: 400 Critical Kills / Point Blank Kills for shotguns / eliminations for launchers and melee
Marshland: 500 Critical Kills / Point Blank Kills for shotguns / eliminations for launchers and melee
Mire: 600 Critical Kills / Point Blank Kills for shotguns / eliminations for launchers and melee
Ravine: 700 Critical Kills / Point Blank Kills for shotguns / eliminations for launchers and melee
Skulk: 800 Critical Kills / Point Blank Kills for shotguns / eliminations for launchers and melee
Emerald Snake: 1,000 Critical Kills / Point Blank Kills for shotguns / eliminations for launchers and melee

The final Military Camo now caps out at 1,000 Critical Kills, Point Blank Kills, or eliminations depending on the weapon type you’re grinding. It’s down from BO6’s painful 2,000, making the early grind a lot less of a slog.

BO7 Zombies Mastery Camo challenges

Once you’ve finished a weapon’s nine Military Camos and its three Special Camos (total of 12), you move on to the final stretch: Mastery Camos. These also have to be unlocked one weapon at a time, and just like the others, they can only be equipped on the gun you earned them with.

Golden Dragon: Get 10 kills rapidly 15 times.
Bloodstone: Get 20 or more consecutive kills without taking damage 5 times.
Doomsteel: Eliminate 10 Elite Zombies.
Infestation: Unlock Doomsteel on 30 weapons.

The final Mastery Camo across all modes (Infestation for Black Ops 7 Zombies) now unlocks automatically once you’ve earned the previous Mastery tier on 30 different weapons. It’s a return to the older Black Ops style, meaning no more doing a separate final challenge for every single gun just to hit the last Mastery tier.

BO7 Zombies Special Camo challenges

When you’ve cleared all nine Military Camos for a particular weapon, you can start working on its Special Camos. Every gun has three Special Camo challenges, and completing all three unlocks that weapon’s Special Camo, which you can then use in any mode. Unlike Military Camos, you don’t have to follow a strict order here, as Special Camos can be tackled however you like. Each one has its own unique requirement, and the challenges vary depending on the weapon and its class, designed to match how that gun is meant to be played.

Here’s the full list of Special Camo challenges arranged per weapon type:
