Reviewed July 29, 2026. Release identity, platforms, Gunsmith and mode scope were checked against Activision material. Launch unlocks and the final weapon/camo catalogs were reconciled against dedicated historical references. Black Market and promotional records describe original access and include current-availability caveats. Editorial setup advice avoids unsupported numeric weapon statistics.

What does Heat Stroke camo look like?

The supplied BO3 catalog tile for Heat Stroke is led by yellow, gold and red, producing a mid-toned, low-contrast finish. Use the artwork shown here to confirm the exact texture and pattern placement instead of matching it to a similarly named camo from another Call of Duty title.

How do you make progress toward Heat Stroke?

Work in Multiplayer and follow this recorded requirement: Earn 20 Headshot medals with assault rifles, SMGs, LMGs or pistols; 20 One Shot, One Kill medals with shotguns or sniper rifles; destroy 20 scorestreaks with standard launchers; or get 60 kills with the MAX-GL, a Special or a melee weapon. Keep the progress separate from Multiplayer mastery unless this record explicitly belongs to that ladder.

Heat Stroke is tracked separately on each weapon. The class-specific objective is: Earn 20 Headshot medals with assault rifles, SMGs, LMGs or pistols; 20 One Shot, One Kill medals with shotguns or sniper rifles; destroy 20 scorestreaks with standard launchers; or get 60 kills with the MAX-GL, a Special or a melee weapon; finishing the tier on one gun does not complete it on another.
