How does the MAHEM play in Advanced Warfare?

RoleUnguided molten-metal projectile launcher
Real-world basisA fictional or substantially redesigned Advanced Warfare launcher; no exact production counterpart is asserted
StrengthsIt sends an unguided molten-metal projectile without lock-on or post-launch steering; The MAHEM has a defined unguided molten-metal projectile launcher purpose instead of being treated as interchangeable class filler
TradeoffsThe lack of guidance makes moving targets and long corrections unreliable; The MAHEM still depends on route choice and first-shot discipline in Advanced Warfare's fast Exo-movement fights
Setup notesBuild the rest of the class to create safe reload and lock-on windows; the launcher itself fills a specialized slot; Treat equipment and positioning as the supporting setup because ordinary gun attachments are not the core of this weapon
Challenge noteThe MAHEM uses the launcher 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 MAHEM. Its Diamond completion counts toward Royalty because it is a camo-eligible launch weapon.
Camo tipLead the target before firing and choose predictable vehicle or objective routes instead of reacting late.
Compared withThe MAAWS can be laser-guided; the MAHEM asks the user to solve the trajectory before launch.

MAHEM — common questions

What level does the MAHEM unlock at in Advanced Warfare?

The MAHEM unlocks at Level 50 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 MAHEM?

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 MAHEM the final tier is Gold — 5 Recon Drones or Assault Drones destroyed. 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.
