What does Snake camo look like?

A scale-like reptile pattern with interlocking dark and light shapes. It reads as an organic texture rather than a standard military blotch.

At this stage, focus on repeatable kills in the weapon's natural role and treat unfinished attachment challenges as optional XP boosts.

Snake is awarded only to the weapon that reaches its threshold. A normal Prestige reset removes weapon levels and their camos.
