Unlocking weapon camos is always a fun and difficult challenge for Call of Duty fans, and Vanguard players will be able to get their hands on three multiplayer Mastery camos in Vanguard: Gold, Diamond, and Atomic.

For Call of Duty fans, unlocking Mastery camos is the best way to prove your dedication to the game, and show your opponents how talented and versatile you really are. Unlocking these weapon skins take an incredible amount of time, and require an ability to dominate opponents no matter the weapon.

Throughout Black Ops Cold War, players were grinding to unlock Dark Matter Ultra, the highest-tier Mastery camo available to players, and the good news is that this challenge will return in Sledhegammer’s Call of Duty: Vanguard.

As always, players will need to complete challenges to get their hands on them, but we’ve got everything you need to unlock them, plus a first look at what these Mastery camos look like in-game.

How to unlock Gold camo in CoD: Vanguard

  • Complete all 10 Weapon Camo Challenges for any CoD: Vanguard weapon

Unlocking the Gold camo for your weapon is relatively straightforward. At launch, each Vanguard gun comes with 10 camos available to be unlocked, either by racking up kills or using specific attachments.

Once you’ve completed all these challenges, you will be rewarded with a special Golden skin for your weapon, so you can show the world that you’ve mastered that gun.

How to unlock Diamond camo in CoD: Vanguard

  • Unlock the Gold Camo for every gun in a CoD: Vanguard weapon class

Getting your hands on the game’s Diamond camo is slightly more difficult. To unlock the sparkly weapon skin, you’ll need to unlock the Gold version for every gun in a weapon class.

For example, if you want to rock Diamonds on your STG-44, you’ll need to unlock the Gold camo for all seven Assault Rifles in Vanguard at launch.

  • Unlock the Diamond camo for all Vanguard weapon classes

The Atomic camouflage is by far the most difficult to unlock, but because of this, it’s also the rarest. Getting your hands on this skin will require willpower, determination, and skill, as you’ll need to unlock Diamond in every weapon class in the game.

That doesn’t just mean popular classes like SMGs or Sniper Rifles, but Shotguns, Launchers, and even Secondary weapons like Pistols. All the effort is worth it though, as the Atomic is definitely one of the most beautiful camos in the game.

All three camos are definitely going to take time to unlock, but players will already be racing to become the first to get their hands on the elusive Atomic camo.

Mastery camos are also back in Zombies, with Golden Viper, Plague Diamond, and Dark Aether all available for players to unlock.
