What does Ardent camo look like?
The supplied BO3 catalog tile for Ardent is led by charcoal, red and yellow, producing a dark-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 Ardent?
Work in Multiplayer and follow this recorded requirement: Class-specific technical challenge after Policia: 10 Longshot medals; 10 Revenge medals; 10 direct-hit infantry kills; Destroy 5 scorestreaks within 20 seconds of their deployment; 10 Backstabber medals. Keep the progress separate from Multiplayer mastery unless this record explicitly belongs to that ladder.
Ardent is tracked separately on each weapon. The class-specific objective is: Class-specific technical challenge after Policia: 10 Longshot medals; 10 Revenge medals; 10 direct-hit infantry kills; Destroy 5 scorestreaks within 20 seconds of their deployment; 10 Backstabber medals; finishing the tier on one gun does not complete it on another.
