Black Ops 3 M14
How do you unlock the M14?
The M14 was offered through a time-limited Black Market event and was not added to the permanent weapon pool in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It is a limited-event semi-automatic rifle: It was the one time-limited post-launch weapon rather than a permanent Black Market addition. Use it around that behavior rather than relying on unsupported damage or magazine claims. Historical limited-event weapon. Existing ownership can persist, but this guide does not claim that the M14 can be newly acquired today. Its camo track finishes at Chameleon (5 Bloodthirsty medals with all five kills from this weapon). 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.

Launch unlocks and the final weapon/camo catalogs were reconciled against dedicated historical references. Black Market and promotional records describe original access and include current-availability caveats. Editorial setup advice avoids unsupported numeric weapon statistics.

How do you unlock the M14 in Black Ops 3?
The M14 was added post-launch to Call of Duty: Black Ops III through a time-limited Black Market event. 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. Historical limited-event weapon. Existing ownership can persist, but this guide does not claim that the M14 can be newly acquired today.
How do you unlock camos on the M14?
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 M14 the final tier is Chameleon — 5 Bloodthirsty medals with all five kills from this weapon. 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.
