Call of Duty: Black Ops 6has streamlined the camo grind this year with simplified challenges and a more intuitive progression system. Players can grind Multiplayer or Zombies to earn exclusive camos for all of their weapons. For Zombies players, achieving true mastery with the entire Black Ops 6 weapon roster will award the Nebula camo for every weapon, one of the most visually striking camos in the game.
If you aren’t a fan of Multiplayer but still want a prestigious camo, look no further than these Zombies camos. In this guide, we go over how Mastery camos work in BO6 Zombies, how to unlock them, and showcase every camo challenge you’ll need to complete to unlock Nebula.
Updated July 16, 2025, by Charles Burgar:Season 4 has added two new weapons to Black Ops 6: the FFAR 1 and the LC10. These two returning weapons have their own Zombies camos to unlock, all of which are locked behind fairly easy challenges. We’ve updated this guide to include every new camo challenge added in Season 4.
How Mastery Camos Work In Zombies
Every weapon in Black Ops 6 has a collection of Multiplayer and Zombies camos you may unlock through gameplay. Zombies camos tend to be a little easier to earn on average, requiring you to land precision kills or eliminate elite zombie variants.As with MP camos, Zombies camos come in three tiers:
Camo progress doesnotreset when you Prestige.
Militarycamos are where you’ll start. In Zombies, you simply need toget critical killswith the weapon in question—excluding launchers and melee weapons, which both require generic kills instead. You’ll complete these camo challenges once you land2,000 critical kills.Bear in mind that these camos areper weapon, so you’ll need to repeat this grind for every weapon.
Specialcamos are slightly tougher to earn, although these camos can be applied to any weapon. Two Special camos per weapon can only be unlocked once you’ve completed the Military camo grind.
Masteryis where the camo grind truly starts.Mystic Goldis the first tier, requiring you to get rapid kills against hordes of zombies. Once you complete that challenge, you’ll need to unlock Mystic Gold for the remaining weapons in the archetype (SMG, AR, etc.) before you can start earningOpal.If you earn Opal for 33 weapons, which is most of the BO6 weapon roster, then you can completeAfterlifechallenges. Unlock Afterlife for every gun to unlock the fourth and final Mastery camo:Nebula.
