How do you unlock the L4 Siege?

The L4 Siege was added after launch as a permanent Black Market-pool weapon on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It is a semi-automatic explosive launcher: It can place successive explosive projectiles without a single-shot tube reload between each press. Use it around that behavior rather than relying on unsupported damage or magazine claims. Historically a permanent Black Market addition. Current acquisition, online services and account entitlements can vary by platform and region. Its camo track finishes at Chameleon (Destroy 10 Guardians, Hardened Sentries or Power Cores). Complete every camo challenge on it and Gold unlocks. Its Gold does not count toward the original Diamond requirement; both this weapon's Gold and the launch-weapon class requirement must be complete before Diamond can be equipped on it. This post-launch weapon does not increase the original Dark Matter requirement; its own camo challenges and the account-wide base-game mastery route must both be complete to equip Dark Matter.

How does the L4 Siege play in Black Ops 3?

Rolesemi-automatic explosive launcher
Real-world basisFictional Black Ops III weapon; no one-to-one real-world model is asserted.
StrengthsThe L4 Siege gives the class a clear semi-automatic explosive launcher identity; It can place successive explosive projectiles without a single-shot tube reload between each press
TradeoffsExplosive travel and blast spacing still demand cover and safe distance; Its launcher role still depends on choosing the correct route and first engagement
Setup notesBuild the surrounding class to create safe lock, reload and line-of-sight windows; Treat positioning and target selection as the setup; ordinary gun attachments are not the point of the class
Challenge noteComplete its Multiplayer camo challenges on this weapon; post-launch weapons do not expand the original launch-roster Dark Matter requirement.
Progression tipIt is not required for the original Dark Matter unlock; complete this weapon's own Multiplayer camo challenges to equip Gold and unlocked mastery finishes on it.
Camo tipFire from an offset angle and move before the target traces the projectile path.
Compared withThe XM-53 focuses on rockets and streak locks; the L4 Siege supplies repeated manual explosive pressure.

L4 Siege — common questions

How do you unlock the L4 Siege in Black Ops 3?

The L4 Siege was added post-launch to Call of Duty: Black Ops III through a post-launch Black Market update. Platform availability is listed on this page. The level cap is 55, and prestige is 10 standard Prestige levels followed by Prestige Master progression in the supported current-generation/PC version. Historically a permanent Black Market addition. Current acquisition, online services and account entitlements can vary by platform and region.

How do you unlock camos on the L4 Siege?

Camo progress is per-weapon. The Multiplayer route starts with nine class-adjusted kill or medal challenges, continues through Ardent, Burnt, Bliss, Battle and Chameleon, then awards Gold per weapon. Diamond covers the original launch weapons in a class, and Dark Matter covers all 31 launch weapons. Campaign, Zombies, permanent Black Market and Extra/CWL camos do not replace the per-weapon Multiplayer ladder and are not prerequisites for Gold, Diamond or Dark Matter. On the L4 Siege the final tier is Chameleon — Destroy 10 Guardians, Hardened Sentries or Power Cores. After that, Gold needs every camo challenge on the weapon done. This post-launch weapon does not count toward the original Diamond total, but its own Gold and the launch-weapon class requirement must both be complete before Diamond can be equipped on it. It does not increase the original Dark Matter requirement; this weapon's camo challenges and the account-wide route must both be complete to equip it.
