Black Ops 6 has four launch pistols, and each has two Multiplayer Special Camo challenges. The checklist below covers those eight requirements; it is not a Zombies or Warzone camo guide. Because the per-pistol list was updated for Season 5 rather than verified against a live challenge table, check the Gunsmith’s Camo screen in-game before relying on a requirement.

Black Ops 6 launch pistols and unlock levels

The launch roster has four pistols. The official launch weapons guide lists their availability as follows:

Pistol Availability
9mm PM Available immediately
Grekhova Player Level 13
GS45 Player Level 28
Stryder .22 Player Level 40

All Multiplayer Special Camo challenges by pistol

The requirements below are from Dot Esports’ Multiplayer challenge list, labeled updated for Season 5. The list is a third-party guide, not an official live-game challenge table.

Pistol Special Camo Requirement
9mm PM Exabyte Get 15 kills shortly after switching weapons.
9mm PM Blue Ring Get 50 kills with a suppressor equipped.
Grekhova Spin Get 30 hipfire kills.
Grekhova Dementer Get 50 kills while the Enforcer Combat Specialty is active.
GS45 Thistlevine Get 30 point-blank kills.
GS45 Ragamuffin Get 15 kills shortly after switching weapons.
Stryder .22 Ritual Get 50 kills while moving.
Stryder .22 Transcend Get 50 kills while the Recon Combat Specialty is active.

How pistol camo progression works in Multiplayer

Activision describes a three-stage weapon camo path: Military camos, two weapon-specific Special camos, then Mastery camos. The official progression guide says Multiplayer Military camos for most weapons are earned through headshots. Once the Special Camo challenges for a weapon are available, they can be completed in either order.

#1 Best Overall
Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6 - PlayStation 5
  • Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower.
  • This is signature Black Ops across a cinematic single-player Campaign, a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, and the epic return of Round-Based Zombies.
  • The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity. 
  • In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6. 
  • Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
  1. Earn the weapon’s nine Military camos in sequence. For most Multiplayer weapons, the challenge type is headshots.
  2. Complete both Special Camo challenges for that weapon; the two challenges may be done in any order once available.
  3. Unlock that weapon’s Mastery Camo challenge by completing all nine Military camos and both Special camos for it in Multiplayer, then meet the applicable Mastery requirement.

The Multiplayer Mastery sequence is Gold, Diamond, Dark Spine, then Dark Matter. Earning a higher tier such as Diamond or Dark Spine also depends on earning that tier across the required weapons, so completing one pistol’s checklist does not by itself unlock those class-wide tiers. Black Ops 6 has separate camo journeys for Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone; this list only covers Multiplayer Special Camos.

Check the live challenge before starting

The per-pistol requirements here are supported by a Season 5-updated third-party list, while the official Activision progression information explains the overall camo structure rather than confirming that each listed requirement remains unchanged. Open the relevant pistol’s Gunsmith Camo screen and verify its current challenge text before planning a grind. The game’s displayed requirement is the one to follow if it differs from this list.
