The Camp grind in Modern Warfare is an important part of the mastery and showcasing your prowess in MW3. Like last year, there are plenty of camos to get your hands on, with the new MW3 weapons having their own multiplayer completionist tasks, along with some additional camos in the Zombies mode. To help you track what you need to do, especially with some of the buggy challenge names, here are all MW3 Camo Challenges, focusing especially on the new MW3 weapons.

It is also important to note that each section has a table for both the Multiplayer and another table for the Zombies mode. The multiplayer table will always be the first, with the zombies mode below that. You can find a ToC that auto-scrolls you to the sections you want to view the most:

• Assault Rifles
• SMGs
• Battle Rifles
• Marksman Rifles
• LMGs
• Shotguns
• Sniper Rifles
• Pistols
• Launchers & Melee

All Assault Rifle Camo Challenges in MW3¶

Assault Rifles are likely the main grind players will get, with the vast majority of AR’s being fairly made for MW3’s TTk. For the most part, the challenges are simple, though there’s few curve balls in there. You multikills in one mag will require higher ammo count magazines to pull off, alongside the use of Stims or Battle Rage to make it better. Any Tac Stance challenges likely require better spring to fire and slide type kills around corner.s Rust is likely the best option for this, or some more indoor areas like Wasteland’s bunker, and other such locations. Other than that, most are simple enough to complete.

Like the ARs, the SMGS are weapons with some trouble some tasks. The weapons tend to get more hipfire or tac stance, so, speccing your gun around tighter spreads for hip fire or tac stance help a lot. You will also be tasked with kills that require movement. Some of the boots and other perks grant you better strafing or moving bonus, so these are worth looking into for these challenges. When it comes to longshots, SMGs are pretty poor at longer rang recoil control. We recommend tapping then spraying someone at above 30 meter ranges to ensure an easier time with those types of challenges. Good areas include Sub Base longer angles, as are places like Underpass.

• Striker Camo Challenges & Tips in MW3

Again, zombie type challenges are fairly simple tasks. The only struggles you may have is with the Toxic damage or other elemental type changes. These typically require mods to your weapon acquired via rewards that add weapon damage modifications. Toxic and Frost are notable examples.

All Battle Rifle Camo Challenges in MW3¶

Battle Rifle challenges typically require loadout configurations designed to put you into a longer range anchor type role. You’ll find you need clean kills, optic kills, or silenced kills. Clean Kills simply are kills were you land everything and get the kill. So, build your gun for silenced, recoil and gun kick (don’t forget the sight) and watch as the majority of your challenges are easily completed.

• BAS-B Camo Challenges & Tips in MW3

Again, zombie challenges are fairly simple. The ones you get stuck on are rarity, which are threat zone related. You want your gun to become blue quality, which means upgrades via reward from contract, or from blue wallbuys. The other can be things like the Mangler, a type of special zombie often found in contracts in early areas locations, such as the escort type missions. Another dangerous one is point blank kills. You’re likely best doing this wit Juggernaut acquired, and getting them during extraction areas in lower threat areas. These send lots of low tier zombies at you, which you can easily kite and farm at a very close range and low risk area. You can also use the monkey bomb and get up close while they are all distracted.

All Marksman Rifle Camo Challenges in MW3¶

Marksman Rifles are similar to BRs, requiring some modifications to the loadout to get your scope, suppressed and other non attachment type kills. Some of the challenges you may face however are are the headshots with no scope. You likely want to do this in closer range angles where heads are bigger, but one where you have advantage. You’ll find MM rifles will one shot headshot fairly easy, so it’s a matter of getting a favorable angle and holding it. If you need help with one shots, go hardcore as you will get decent multiplier for one hit kills on that mode. As for the one magazine challenges, you can typically find 20 round mags through Armory unlocks or via weapon leveling unlocks.

The MM rifle challenges in Zombies is nothing unique that we haven’t already seen before. Remember to look for relevant damage modifiers for either Toxic or Frost. Look for Manglers and land killing blows, and use tac stance on the larger hordes to make it much easier to get those types of kills, especially around extract zone farms in lower threat areas to ensure you actually get the tac stance kills.

All LMG Camo Challenges in MW3¶

The vast majority of the LMG challenges are fairly similar. The biggest problems are the double kills while holding the trigger. Doing this can be tedious for many, with the need to get areas where enemies funnel .Look for capture game modes like Hardpoint or Headquarters and over-watch an area with your mag and then unleash hell when you know multiple enemies are on their way. Hipfire kills are another problem, with the accuracy being rather poor. Tac Stance could be a decent idea and increase the spread. Alternatively, hold tighter areas like indoor location and hipfire doorways and such. Penetration kills are another tough one, however, some areas on Highrise chain link fences count as pen kills, as do the thin wooden cover areas around the Underpass.

The zombies mode for the LMGs are fairly satisfying, as LMGS are very effective at mowing down specials and hordes alike. You shouldn’t have too much trouble getting the challenges. But again, Tac Stance should be done with lower tier zombies around extract locations, or around Monkey Bombs to make it easy to land rounds into large clumps. Fire Damage is another weapon damage improvement for contracts so be prepared to farm those.

All Shotgun Camo Challenges in MW3¶

Shotguns in MW3 multiplayer are very simple challenges for shotguns. Most of them are variations of how shotguns kill people anyway. Either strafe and shoot if you have that, or hold a tight angle in ADS and one shot someone that way. The sprinting challenge will likely require you to run head first into sites or into teams, Cutthroat or Hardpoint type modes can be good for getting those done. Meanwhile, some maps tend to have congregations of player, such as the stairs around the Skidrow near the tunnel, or some of the stairways in Underpass and the bunker in Wasteland being good examples.

The hardest part about shotgun challenges in zombies is highly likely the Elites or Special kills. Elites can give you hard time with their heavy armor and plates. You’re likely best getting them low and then pushing them with a shotgun and secure the kill that way. Other than that be vigilant for the weapon damage type you need and grabbing it when you can.

All Sniper Camo Challenges in MW3¶

Snipers in MW3 are very good in multiplayer. You’ll find the mobile snipers like Longbow are great for playing any map and going for snipe kills with smaller optics. If you need headshots while moving, the red dot or holographic type scope makes it easier to track heads in multiplayer. Alternatively, get the long angles in War and other modes like that for better Focused type kills.

• KATT-AMR Camo Challenges & Tips in MW3

Sniper Rifles have a unique type of challenge in that you need line up kills several times. Thankfully, this is not too hard, with the zombies easily kiteable into large packs or line ups. Make sure to line up enemies safely, turn around, and shoot as many as you can in a round to do this challenge repeatedly. The other thing that you need to monitor is headshots, since you need critical kills. Again, it’s not too hard a challenge if you can perch up and track enemies well enough. Most zombie movement is predictable so getting the line ups should become a rhythm at some point.

All Pistol Camo Challenges in MW3¶

Pistols tend to have similar challenges across all the weapons. Kills, ADS Kills, kill while moving and akimbo are essentially similar process, albeit slight twists to the playstyle. The challenges come with getting kills without being damaged. The best bit of this challenge is to use Deployable shield on harder to get cover maps, or use cover and ping about, making it harder for enemies to track your movement while you maintain advantages in more open areas that you can trap enemies.

Like shotguns, pistols may have a slightly harder time when it gets to the Serpentine camo challenges. The kill requirement of elites and specials are ones you are going to need to get specific enemies low, and then finish them off with your sidearm. Other than that grab perks, damage modifiers, and and kite for the easiest time of for the remaining challenges.

All Launcher and Melee Camo Challenges in MW3¶

The BGL has a somewhat harder time for most challenges. The challenge you get is to get direct impact kills, which is troublesome. You’re likely going to have to get into awkward spots and hold angles and bonk someone when they run around the corner straight into your muzzle. The kill five enemies without dying is another hard one, and likely one you’re going to need to noobtube in hardcore to flush sites or campers out with ease, especially with the heavy use of EOD specialist perks nerfing your explosive damage. Revenge Kills is another one where you are going to have to track who killed you and try and return fire back on them with the gun. This is more random than any other strategy you can use to solve it.

As for melee weapons, stun grenade is your best friend. Being able to stun a target and then stab them will get you both the tactical and the kill enemies without being damaged. Feel free to Overkill Riot Shield for some added protection to your back to improve your chances of getting the kills without them damaging you.

Lastly, we have the zombies mode. Again getting the kills on special and elites with the melee weapons will be very hard. Get them as low as possible, farm low threat areas, and wield Juggernaut to make it an easier experience to grind. The RG, however, is very easy to complete thanks to its horde clearing and higher damage powerhouse it brings.
