In a new blog post, Infinity Ward has revealed the full details of Modern Warfare 2 Operators and Mastery Camos at launch, along with the challenges that must be completed in order to earn each Operator and to progress through each Tier of the Camo system. Besides the Base camos, Modern Warfare 2 features Gold, Platinum, Polyatomic, and finally Orion Mastery Camos. The game features 18 unlockable Operators besides the default option.
Modern Warfare 2 Mastery Camos and Challenges:
Weapon Camos are cosmetic patterns that cover the majority of each weapon and are earned via “Camo Challenges.” Modern Warfare 2’s Camo Challenge system will be streamlined significantly and will offer more rewards than in previous years.
In Modern Warfare 2, Camos are split into two groups:
Base Camos: Any weapon can equip a Base Camo once unlocked via a specific weapon’s Base Camo Challenge. In other words, Base Camos are universally unlocked across all weapons by completing a challenge on the road to a weapon’s first Mastery Camo.
There will be 180+ unique Base Camos available at launch, with more to be added with each new weapon that comes in postlaunch Seasons.
Mastery Camos: These are unlocked for only a specific weapon, and have four unique designs: Gold, Platinum, Polyatomic, and Orion.
- The Gold Camo Challenge for each weapon is available once all of its Base Camo Challenges are completed.
- The Platinum Camo Challenge for each weapon is available once the Gold Camo is unlocked across a minimum number of weapons in each category.
- The Polyatomic Camo Challenge for each weapon is available once the Platinum Camo is unlocked across a minimum of 51 weapons.
- The Orion Camo is a reward for unlocking Polyatomic Camo across a minimum of 51 weapons. It is also automatically granted on every weapon that earns the Orion Camo past its minimum requirement.
Each Mastery Camo is also tied to an additional challenge required for Weapon Mastery on each weapon, which can be done in parallel with the Camo Challenge journey:
Step 1: Complete Base Camo Challenges, Get Universal Camos for All Weapons
In Modern Warfare 2, the Base Camo Challenge system offers between one and four challenges per weapon, and each challenge unlocks a new Camo to use across all weapons. Just with the launch weapon roster alone, there will be more than 180+ unique Camos to earn at launch.
Each Gunsmithable Weapon — that is, a weapon that has attachments — has four Base Camo Challenges: The first is a basic Kill Count challenge, which is available as soon as the weapon is unlocked. The other three are unlocked at specific weapon levels, roughly spaced out in thirds up to the Max Level. Each non-Gunsmithable weapon has one Base Camo, unlocked by completing a basic Kill Count challenge.
Each Season will include new Base Camos to use across all weapons, in addition to the weapon itself.
Step 2: Unlock the Gold Mastery Camo
Once every Base Camo Challenge is completed on a specific weapon, the first of its three Mastery Camo Challenges — Gold — becomes available.
Every weapon in Modern Warfare 2 has the same Gold Camo Challenge: getting a certain number of kills (two to three, usually) with the weapon without dying a certain number of times. Doing so unlocks the Gold Camo for that weapon.
Step 3: Finish a Specific Number of Gold Camo Challenges in Each Weapon Category, Get Access to Platinum Camo Challenges
Platinum Camo Challenges are tied to specific weapon categories. They become available once a certain number of Gold Camos are earned across weapons within a category:
- Assault Rifles
- Battle Rifles
- SMGs
- LMGs
- Marksman Rifles
- Sniper Rifles
- Sidearms
- Launchers
- Melee (Primary and Secondary)
Each Platinum Camo Challenge is the same across every weapon within a weapon category.
Platinum Camo Challenges only require that you complete a minimum number of Gold Camo Challenges. This is equal to the number of weapons in that category at launch, rather than a specific checklist of Gold Camo Challenges in each category.
Step 4: Finish a Minimum of 51 Platinum Mastery Challenges, Get Access to Polyatomic Camo Challenges
Once Platinum Camo is unlocked on 51 weapons, the Polyatomic Camo Challenge is unlocked, and is specific to each weapon category. Completing this challenge on a weapon unlocks the Polyatomic Camo for it and counts toward the unlock requirements for the ultimate Mastery Camo.
The Ultimate Mastery Camo: Orion
Once the Polyatomic Camo is unlocked on 51 weapons, every weapon that has Polyatomic Camo will automatically be granted the Orion Camo. After originally unlocking Orion across 51 weapons, earning the Polyatomic Camo on any additional weapons automatically grants the Orion Camo as well.
Modern Warfare 2 Weapon Mastery:
After unlocking a Mastery Camo on a weapon, you gain access to that weapon’s Mastery Challenge. Each Weapon Mastery Challenge involves earning a set number of kills with a weapon while a specific Mastery Weapon Camo is equipped. Completing each Mastery Challenge on a weapon awards a new Calling Card and Emblem based on that weapon. Completing all four Mastery Challenges on a weapon unlocks a Weapon Charm based on that weapon.
Modern Warfare 2 Operators Available at Launch:
“Operators” are the in-game playable characters. By default, you have access to a Mil-Sim Operator for both the KorTac and SpecGru factions; this Operator has four unique outfits. While you play Campaign, Multiplayer, and Special Ops, you can unlock an additional 18 free Operators through specific challenges.
During Campaign Early Access, you can unlock these four Operators:
- Chuy — Complete “Cartel Protection” (Mission 6)
- Nova — Complete “Violence and Timing” (Mission 10)
- Reyes — Complete “Prison Break” (Mission 14)
- Hutch — Complete “Ghost Team” (Mission 16)
The other 14 can be unlocked through the following game modes:
- König, Kleo, Zimo, and Roze — General challenges (can be completed in Multiplayer or in Warzone 2.0, when it launches)
- Luna, Gromsko, and Zero — Special Ops–Specific challenges (all awarded for completing each mission available at launch)
- Aksel, Conor, Fender, Gus, Horangi, Stiletto — Multiplayer-specific challenges
Five additional Operators can also be unlocked automatically at launch:
- Price, Soap, Farah, and Ghost — Included in the Red Team 141 Operator Pack, part of the Modern Warfare 2 Vault Edition
- Oni — Exclusive to those playing on PlayStation consoles who digitally preordered the game through the PlayStation store
The exclusive Operator Skin for Horangi, “Collision,” is automatically granted to any account that hit Level 18 during the Modern Warfare 2 Open Beta. However, you will still need to complete Horangi’s Base Operator Challenge if you wish to access his Base Skin.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches October 28 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. You can find out everything you need to know about the game ahead of its launch here.
