Camo grind · Endgame
Every Mastery camo in Modern Warfare 4 and exactly how to unlock it, from the Gold to Divergence grind to the last camo in Multiplayer, DMZ and Warzone, plus the Pyroclast camos from Weapon Prestige.
One shared grind across every mode leads to Divergence. From there it splits: three Mastery camos for each mode.

These four are shared across every mode, and you need all of them before any Mastery camo opens.
To unlock Gold, finish the weapon’s 8 Military camos and its 3 Special camo challenges. That opens the Gold challenge: 15 kills in a single Multiplayer match, or 100 in a single DMZ match.
To unlock Platinum, earn Gold on every weapon in the class first (for assault rifles, that’s all 8). Then complete the class’s Platinum challenge, which is different for each weapon class.
To unlock Harmonic Break, earn Platinum on all 33 weapons first. Then complete the weapon class’s Harmonic Break challenge, which is different for each class.
Divergence is awarded automatically once you’ve completed 33 Harmonic Break challenges. It’s the last Completionist camo, and it opens the first mastery challenge in every mode.
| Weapon class | Platinum | Harmonic Break |
|---|---|---|
| Assault rifles | Headshots | Double kills |
| SMGs | Kills from behind | Hipfire kills |
| Shotguns | Hipfire kills | Kills without reloading |
| LMGs | Kills without dying | Kills without releasing the trigger |
| Marksman rifles | Kills while prone | One-shot kills |
| Sniper rifles | Kills while prone | One-shot kills |
| Pistols | Kills from behind | Hipfire kills |
| Launchers | Kills without taking damage | Player kills |
| Melee | Kills without dying | Kills from behind |
Example from Activision: for the Han 86, Gold all eight assault rifles, then get 50 headshots in Multiplayer or 100 in DMZ for Platinum. Harmonic Break then needs 25 double kills in Multiplayer or 50 in DMZ.
A separate path from Mastery. Prestige a max-level gun and keep levelling it to earn four stages of Pyroclast. More in our Prestige guide.
There are 9: three each for Multiplayer, DMZ and Warzone. Add the four Pyroclast Weapon Prestige camos and the four Completionist camos (Gold, Platinum, Harmonic Break and Divergence) and there are 17 end-game camos in all.
Earn Divergence first: that means Gold on every gun, Platinum on all 33 and 33 Harmonic Break challenges. Divergence opens Mastery 1 in each mode. Each Mastery camo then opens the next one in that mode.
It’s the third Multiplayer Mastery camo. After Divergence, earn Mercurial Drift and Polyatomic Reforged, then get 5 kills without dying, 500 times.
It’s the last DMZ Mastery camo. After Chiral and Ripple Tide, get 25,000 kills with Legendary weapons while playing a max-level Operator. That means a max-level Operator, not DMZ player level 70.
Parallax, Damascus Reforged and Empyros. Activision lists their challenges as classified until Season 1, when MW4 weapons arrive in Warzone on November 6.
The grind up to Divergence is shared: progress from Multiplayer and DMZ (and Warzone from Season 1) all counts. The Mastery camos themselves are separate for each mode, so Orion Reforged needs Multiplayer and Helio needs DMZ.
No. The four Pyroclast camos come from Weapon Prestige: you earn them by prestiging a gun and levelling it again, not from the Mastery challenges.
Challenges from Activision’s MW4 progression and Prestige post. Warzone’s Mastery challenges are classified until Season 1; we’ll add them as soon as they’re revealed. See every other camo on the all camos page.
