Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is finally here, and players have already been getting stuck into the camo grind. Here’s how to unlock the Gold, Diamond, and Dark Matter Ultra camos.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has something for everyone, from an action-packed campaign to an incredible multiplayer experience. And of course, let’s not forget about the zombies, which has been an integral part of the game for many years now.

Challenges have always been universally loved in previous titles too. They’re a fun and challenging way to keep things fresh in the multiplayer mode. However, not all of them are a walk in the park.

The weapon mastery challenges are notoriously difficult. Only the most dedicated players end up putting in the time and effort to succeed, and they’re handsomely rewarded for their efforts. If you want to know how to unlock all the weapon mastery camos., we’ve got you covered.
