What does Ash camo look like?

The supplied BO3 catalog tile for Ash is led by silver, gray and white, producing a mid-toned, high-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 Ash?

Work in Multiplayer and follow this recorded requirement: Earn 10 Headshot medals with assault rifles, SMGs, LMGs or pistols; 10 One Shot, One Kill medals with shotguns or sniper rifles; destroy 10 scorestreaks with standard launchers; or get 20 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.

Ash is tracked separately on each weapon. The class-specific objective is: Earn 10 Headshot medals with assault rifles, SMGs, LMGs or pistols; 10 One Shot, One Kill medals with shotguns or sniper rifles; destroy 10 scorestreaks with standard launchers; or get 20 kills with the MAX-GL, a Special or a melee weapon; finishing the tier on one gun does not complete it on another.
