What does Red camo look like?

A strong red patterned finish with dark contrasting areas. It is a conventional weapon-level camo, not a seasonal or event reward.

How do you make progress toward Red?

Protect progress efficiency by using a reliable attachment and proficiency combination; late-track kills matter more than forcing every remaining accessory challenge.

Red does not indicate class mastery. Only the selected weapon earns it, and normal Prestige resets the underlying weapon level.
