What does Battle camo look like?

The supplied BO3 catalog tile for Battle is led by white, silver and charcoal, producing a bright-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 Battle?

Work in Multiplayer and follow this recorded requirement: Class-specific technical challenge after Policia: 5 Double Kill medals; Destroy 5 Talons or Cerberus scorestreaks; 5 Backfire medals. Keep the progress separate from Multiplayer mastery unless this record explicitly belongs to that ladder.

Battle is tracked separately on each weapon. The class-specific objective is: Class-specific technical challenge after Policia: 5 Double Kill medals; Destroy 5 Talons or Cerberus scorestreaks; 5 Backfire medals; finishing the tier on one gun does not complete it on another.
