How does the Ameli play in Advanced Warfare?

RoleConventional fully automatic support weapon
Real-world basisNamed for the CETME Ameli light machine gun
StrengthsIt provides a straightforward ballistic heavy-weapon role without an energy or transform mechanic; The Ameli has a defined conventional fully automatic support weapon purpose instead of being treated as interchangeable class filler
TradeoffsIts conventional operation offers fewer gimmicks to compensate for poor positioning or an exposed reload; The Ameli still depends on route choice and first-shot discipline in Advanced Warfare's fast Exo-movement fights
Build and setup guidanceBuild around sustained control and visibility; the class is strongest when the firing lane is planned first; A handling choice can make rotations safer, while a control choice better serves a held objective angle
Challenge noteThe Ameli uses the heavy post-patch challenge profile. Gold is a separate final challenge, then Diamond requires every camouflage challenge on this weapon. Personalization camos and Sentinel do not count.
Progression tipCamo progress is stored on the Ameli. Its Diamond completion counts toward Royalty because it is a camo-eligible launch weapon.
Camo tipSet the lane before firing and rotate while there is still time to reload behind cover.
Compared withThe Pytaek changes recoil during a burst; the Ameli is the more conventional automatic support gun.

Ameli — common questions

What level does the Ameli unlock at in Advanced Warfare?

The Ameli unlocks at Level 46 in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare multiplayer. After reaching a rank-gated launch weapon's level, spend one standard Create-a-Class Unlock Token to equip it. The level cap is 50, and prestige is 15 original Prestige levels followed by 15 Master Prestige ranks, ending at Grand Master Prestige.

How do you unlock camos on the Ameli?

Camo progress is per-weapon. Advanced Warfare has fourteen regular challenge camos followed by a separate Gold challenge on each eligible weapon. The post-patch totals vary by class and, within Specials, by MDL, Crossbow and M1 Irons. Complete every weapon challenge including Gold for Diamond; earn Diamond on the required base weapons in a category for Royalty. Heavy Shield has no camo track. M1 Irons has its own final challenge profile, and the twelve later Supply Drop weapons were released only on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. On the Ameli the final tier is Gold — 200 kills with no attachments. After that, Diamond needs every camo challenge on the weapon done, and Royalty needs Diamond on every camo-eligible launch weapon required in its category.
