Unlocking All Camos and Attachments in Call of Duty BO7
To unlock all camos and attachments in Call of Duty BO7, you must engage with the game’s progression systems by playing matches, completing specific challenges for each weapon, and earning Weapon XP. There are no legitimate shortcuts; it requires dedicated gameplay across various modes. Unlocking everything is a significant grind, often taking hundreds of hours, as each weapon has its own unique set of requirements for attachments and camouflages. The process is designed to reward mastery and time investment.
The foundation of unlocking anything for your weapons is Weapon XP. Every bullet fired, every elimination secured, and every objective completed while a weapon is in your hands contributes to its XP bar. Leveling up a weapon is the sole method for unlocking its base attachments. The rate at which you earn Weapon XP can be influenced by several factors. Using a weapon in a match where your team wins grants a bonus. Furthermore, activating a Weapon XP Token, either earned through the Battle Pass or purchased, will double the XP gain for a limited time, significantly speeding up the process. For optimal efficiency, many players focus on objective-based modes like Hardpoint or Domination, where constant action provides more opportunities for score and, consequently, more XP.
Attachments are unlocked sequentially as you level up each individual weapon. You cannot unlock an attachment for an Assault Rifle by using a Submachine Gun; the progression is weapon-specific. The attachment system is deep, allowing for extensive customization that can drastically alter a weapon’s handling. Here’s a breakdown of the primary attachment categories and what they affect:
| Attachment Category | Primary Effect | Common Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Optics (Sights) | Improves target acquisition and aim-down-sights (ADS) clarity. | Can slightly increase ADS time. |
| Barrels | Increases damage range, bullet velocity, or recoil control. | Often decreases mobility and ADS speed. |
| Muzzles | Suppresses sound, controls vertical/horizontal recoil, or improves bullet velocity. | Can increase ADS time and reveal your position on the minimap when firing (for some suppressors). |
| Underbarrels | Greatly improves recoil stabilization (e.g., Grips) or adds functionality (e.g., Launchers). | Increases ADS time and can reduce movement speed. |
| Magazines | Increases ammo capacity or provides faster reload speeds. | Slower reload times (for large mags) or slower ADS speed. |
| Rear Grips | Improves ADS speed and sprint-to-fire time. | Can reduce recoil control. |
| Stocks | Enhances movement speed, ADS movement speed, and recoil control while firing. | May reduce aiming stability. |
Reaching the maximum level for a weapon, often around Level 55 or higher depending on the weapon class, will unlock all available attachments for it. This allows you to create a “meta” loadout tailored to your playstyle, but the real endgame is the pursuit of camouflages.
The camo grind is where the game’s challenge system truly shines. Camouflages are earned by completing specific, often difficult, tasks with each weapon. The system is typically tiered, meaning you must complete four or five sets of challenges to unlock the final mastery camo for that weapon. A standard progression path looks like this:
- Base Camos: These are unlocked through general use challenges like getting a certain number of eliminations, headshots, or multi-kills.
- Advanced Camos: These require more skill-based actions, such as long-range eliminations, kills shortly after reloading, or eliminating enemies who are using tactical equipment.
- Expert Camos: The challenges here demand high proficiency, like getting double kills or eliminating enemies while they are affected by your tactical gear.
- Mastery Camos: The final set often involves challenges that combine multiple skills, such as getting kills while the enemy is in a smoke grenade or achieving a “Bloodthirsty” medal (five kills without dying) multiple times.
For a concrete example, unlocking Gold for an Assault Rifle might require you to get 50 headshots, 50 longshot kills, 50 kills while the enemy is in smoke, and 5 Bloodthirsty medals. Only after completing all these do you earn the Gold camo for that specific rifle. Unlocking the ultimate mastery camo, like Dark Matter or its equivalent, requires you to earn Gold camo on every single weapon in the game, a monumental task that can take well over 24 hours of gameplay per weapon class.
Different game modes offer strategic advantages for specific camo challenges. For instance, the long-range elimination challenge for SMGs is notoriously difficult in standard multiplayer maps. However, playing on larger maps or in a mode like Ground War provides the engagement distances needed. Conversely, challenges requiring rapid successive kills, like double kills, are best pursued in small, chaotic maps where enemy contact is frequent. For challenges involving specific enemy states (e.g., “kills shortly after reloading”), modes with higher player health can be beneficial, as they allow more time to react and secure the kill after the reload animation. Staying updated with the latest strategies on a dedicated resource like Call of Duty BO7 can provide a significant edge.
Secondary weapons, launchers, and melee weapons present their own unique and often frustrating challenges. Launcher camos typically require you to destroy enemy equipment, scorestreaks, and vehicles. This can be highly dependent on enemy team composition, making it a passive grind. Melee weapon challenges usually involve getting backstabber medals or kills while wounded. The most efficient way to tackle these is to focus on them consistently as your secondary weapon in every loadout, taking down every UAV you see with a rocket launcher or going for a melee kill when an opportunity arises, rather than trying to grind them out in isolation.
Zombies mode offers a parallel but entirely separate progression system for camos. While the requirements are different from multiplayer—often focusing on eliminating specific zombie types, packing a weapon multiple times, or surviving in high rounds—the core concept remains: dedication and repetition. Some players prefer the Zombies grind as it can be more predictable than the variability of human opponents in multiplayer. It’s a valid alternative path for players who enjoy the PvE experience but still want to showcase their dedication with unique camouflages.
