All Camos: With the exception of the MWII Completionist Camos (Gold, Platinum, Polyatomic, and Orion), every MWII Base Weapon Camo can be applied to any weapon in MWIII, no matter which game the weapon or Camo originated in. That means you can place a MWII base Camo onto a MWIII weapon, and vice versa, assuming weapon and Camo have been unlocked (examples are shown in the previous screenshot).

Modern Warfare II Completionist Camos: These can be placed only onto the MWII weapon you have unlocked the Camo for, as the four Completionist Camos are accessible only within the Customize > Camo Category Menu. MWII Completionist Camos cannot be placed onto MWIII weapons, or vice versa.

Example: MWII player with unlocked MWII weapons: If you’re a Modern Warfare II player with a number of individual Weapon Camos and Completionist camos unlocked, then those will Carry Forward into Modern Warfare III.

Specific Weapon Example: Let’s assume you’ve unlocked some or all of the following M4 AR Camos in MWII (as shown above):

• Specific Camos: The four specific M4 Camo Unlocks (Scales, Desert Hybrid, Dark Leaves, and New Urban).
• Completionist Camos: The four M4 Mastery Camos that are also available for every MWII weapon (Gold, Platinum, Polyatomic, and Orion).
• Weapon Mastery: The Gold, Platinum, Polyatomic, and Orion Mastery (Emblems and Calling Cards for each), and the Completionist Charm.

In this example, any and all unlocked content is Carried Forward into Modern Warfare III. Any content you haven’t unlocked becomes available to unlock within MWIII as well, so you can effectively continue your MWII grind into MWIII.

All Camo Challenges carry over from MWII to MWIII, so, for example, you still need to “Get 15 Kills from behind with the M4” to unlock the New Urban Camo (which, once unlocked, can be applied to the M4, or any other weapon from MWII or MWIII).

Modern Warfare III Weapons: Multiplayer Camos (MP)

MWIII Weapons — MP Individual Camos: Just like the MWII Multiplayer Weapon Camos, every MWIII weapon has up to four individual base Camos, all brand-new to MWIII, and each requires unlock challenges to obtain.

Camo Challenge Variation: In MWII, the base Camo challenges were relatively similar across the different weapon types. In MWIII, Base Camo challenges are unique to each weapon category. For example, individual SMGs will have a different set of base challenges compared to individual Shotguns, LMGs, and so on. This promotes variety in gameplay, and the challenges have been honed to better suit the playstyle of each weapon type.

Specific Weapon Example: Let’s explore this by leveling up the MCW, one of the new MWIII Assault Rifles (as shown above):

• MCW Mastery Camos: As well as four specific Zombie Camos (detailed below), there are four MCW MP-related Base Camo Unlocks (Razor Feather, Skullflagration, Abyssal Fox, Menelaus Blue).
• MCW Mastery Camos Unlock Criteria: Each of the four MCW Mastery Camos requires you to complete a Level challenge (e.g., “get the MCW to Level 12), as well as a Multiplayer-specific challenge (e.g., “Get 50 Kills while ADS with the MCW”).
• Completionist Camos for MWIII Weapons: There are four additional brand-new Completionist Camos (Gilded, Forged, Priceless, Interstellar). The unlock criteria for these is detailed below.
• Weapon Mastery: The Gilded, Forged, Priceless, and Interstellar Camos also have Weapon Mastery challenges, allowing you to claim Emblems and Calling Cards for each, as well as the Completionist Charm.

Modern Warfare III MP Weapon Camo Challenges: Summary

Expect the following additional Camos, on top of the existing base and Completionist MP Camos from MWII:

• Over 140 new base Camos (examples above)
• Four new Mastery (Completionist) Camos
• Over 140 new Mastery Calling Cards and Emblems
• 37 new Mastery Charms

Sledgehammer Games and Treyarch have added an entirely new set of Camo Challenges in Modern Warfare III, related to both MWII and MWIII weaponry!

Whether you’re unlocking a MWII weapon for the first time, or you’ve claimed Multiplayer Weapon Mastery for every one of the 77 MWII weapons, you still have a sizeable challenge thanks to an incredible amount of Zombies Camo content across every available weapon in the game.

Let’s cover the MWII weapons first:

Modern Warfare II Weapons: Zombies Camos (MWZ)

MWII Weapons: MWZ Individual Camos: Every MWII has up to four individual Zombie Camos, all brand-new to MWIII, and each requiring unlock challenges to obtain.

• Specific Zombie Camos: As well as the four specific MP Camos (that can be unlocked in either game), there are four additional M4 Zombie Camo Unlocks (Rancid Venom, Dark Mist, Nightmare, and Fertilizer).
• Specific Zombie Camos Unlock Criteria: For each of the four Zombie Camos specific to the M4, you need to complete a level challenge (e.g., “get the M4 to Level 19”, which you’re likely to have already completed if you leveled up the weapon previously), as well as a Zombies-specific challenge (e.g., “In Zombies, get 5 Mimic kills with the M4”).
• Completionist Zombies Camos for MWII Weapons: There are four brand-new Completionist Camos as well (Golden Ivory, Spinel Husk, Arachnida, Bioluminescent). The unlock criteria for these is the same across all MWII weaponry, and is detailed below.

Modern Warfare III Weapons: Zombies Camos (MWZ)
