After months of anticipation following Black Ops Cold War’s merger with Warzone, players are finally able to get their hands on Zombies camos in the battle royale. Here’s everything you need to know.
The integration between Black Ops Cold War and Warzone was a huge selling point for many fans when it came to the 2020 title. In a franchise-first, players are able to combine weapons created by both Infinity Ward and Treyarch while jumping into CoD’s landmark battle royale.
Despite the hype surrounding the integration, it hasn’t gone perfectly. Since release, players have complained about weapon balancing, rampant bugs, and general issues with the joint experience. Regardless of those problems, Warzone has still been hugely successful in its Cold War era.

Although the connection between games has been present since Season 1, many fans remained desperate for an update on Zombies integration in the months that followed. While it took almost a year to get there, Zombies camos are finally available in Warzone thanks to the Season 5 Reloaded patch.
Zombies mastery camos arrive in Warzone
The number one thing on most Zombies players’ wishlists for Warzone were weapon camos, particularly the three mastery options: Golden Viper, Plague Diamond, and Dark Aether. These camos take a ridiculous amount of time and effort to unlock — and that’s without any nasty bugs messing up their progress.
These camos, along with many others, were finally made accessible in Warzone on September 9.

Everyone seems to be asking this, so I'll put it to rest.
Yes, all of the BOCW Zombies camos are in Warzone, including Mastery Camos like Plague Diamond & Dark Aether.
No, I don't know when they are coming, but likely soon due to fan requests.
