Black Ops 3 M8A7
How do you unlock the M8A7?
The M8A7 unlocks at Multiplayer Level 55 in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It is a four-round burst rifle: A four-round burst creates strong opening pressure when all rounds stay centered. Use it around that behavior rather than relying on unsupported damage or magazine claims. Some launch-pool weapons require a standard Create-a-Class Unlock Token; the guide avoids inventing a rank where the original menu exposed a token choice instead. 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. Earn Gold on every camo-eligible launch weapon required in its category for Diamond. Complete the required base-game class mastery route to earn Dark Matter.

How do you unlock the M8A7 in Black Ops 3?
The M8A7 unlocks at Level 55 in Call of Duty: Black Ops III multiplayer. Some launch-pool weapons require a standard Create-a-Class Unlock Token; the guide avoids inventing a rank where the original menu exposed a token choice instead. The level cap is 55, and prestige is 10 standard Prestige levels followed by Prestige Master progression in the supported current-generation/PC version.
How do you unlock camos on the M8A7?
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 M8A7 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, and Diamond needs Gold on every camo-eligible launch weapon required in its category, and Dark Matter requires mastery across the base-game weapon classes.
