Black Ops 7 Shimmer Camo
How do you unlock Shimmer in Black Ops 7?
Shimmer is where the Warzone Special tier begins, and it works per weapon: once a gun's nine Military camos are complete, it gets its own challenge. On the M15 MOD 0 that's 'Get 5 Headshot Kills', while the X9 Maverick and DS20 Mirage instead ask you to 'Get 5 eliminations while using a Suppressor'. The full per-weapon list is further down this page.

Is Shimmer still obtainable?
Obtainable now — this camo has no removal date and can still be unlocked.
What's the fastest way to unlock Shimmer?
Most of these five-count tasks clear in a session or two of ordinary matches. Headshot versions come faster on high-rate-of-fire guns, where aiming upper chest naturally drifts onto heads, and the suppressor versions cost nothing extra — build the attachment into your loadout and play as normal.
