Black Ops 7 Desert Camo

Campaign · Military Released Launch — November 14, 2025 Difficulty: Easy Per weapon

The second Military camo on the Campaign ladder, tracked per weapon like the rest. Desert asks for 25 Critical Kills on Assault Rifles, Handguns, Light Machine Guns, Marksman Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and Sub-Machine Guns; Shotguns need 25 Point Blank Kills, Melee and Specials need 25 Kills, and Launchers need 20 Kills or Guild's Equipment / VTOL. It is one escalating stat, so your Foliage progress already counts toward it.

What's the fastest way to unlock Desert?

Nothing about your approach changes from camo one — the same stat keeps climbing, so keep landing precision kills and the counter does the rest. One shift worth noting: Sniper Rifles now share the standard 25 Critical Kills instead of the reduced target they had for Foliage. Faster-firing weapons cross 25 noticeably sooner than slow, deliberate ones.
