Last updated October 11, 2026Game version: Pre-launch (official intel, October 2026)

MW4 Mastery Camos by mode

Activision showed the Mastery Camos in four short videos in its COD NEXT multiplayer post, with each camo's name on screen. Every mode has 3, as the post says, and the fourth video is a separate Prestige set.

Mode	Mastery Camos
Multiplayer	Mercurial Drift, Polyatomic Reforged, Orion Reforged
DMZ	Chiral, Ripple Tide, Helio
Call of Duty: Warzone	Parallax, Damascus Reforged, Empyros
Prestige	Pyroclast, Pyroclast Verge, Pyroclast Scatter, Pyroclast Cascade

Each row follows the order of its video. Activision has not said what each Mastery Camo Challenge asks for, whether that order is the unlock order, or how the Prestige set is earned. The videos are from before launch, so the names may change in the released game.

How weapon camos work in MW4

Modern Warfare 4 launches with 32 weapons in 8 categories: Assault Rifles (8), SMGs (5), Shotguns (2), LMGs (3), Marksman Rifles (3), Sniper Rifles (3), Pistols (4), Launchers (4).
Each weapon's Progression menu shows its levels and the attachments and camos unlocked along the way. The M4, for example, has 72 levels.
Weapon progress is shared: levels you earn in Multiplayer count in DMZ, and the other way round. Weapons can also be Prestiged.
Camos follow one journey across Multiplayer, DMZ and Call of Duty: Warzone: each weapon has a Camo Track you can push forward in any of them, and working through it opens that weapon's Mastery Camo Challenges.
There are 3 Mastery Camos to earn in each of the 3 modes, 9 in all.
Launchers take no attachments.
