How do you unlock the MOG 12?

The MOG 12 available by the Level 8 progression milestone in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It fills the close-entry primary role in the Shotguns catalog. Its pump-action cycle makes the first shot and the follow-up window equally important. This guide stays with stable handling and progression instead of patch-sensitive damage, range or time-to-kill numbers. Its camo track finishes at Spectrum (Earn 5 kills without dying, five times). 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 does the MOG 12 play in Black Ops 4?

Roleclose-entry primary
Real-world basisBlack Ops 4 in-game weapon; no unsupported real-world equivalence is asserted.
StrengthsThe MOG 12 has a clear close-entry primary identity; Its pump-action cycle makes the first shot and the follow-up window equally important
TradeoffsThe pump-action timing still has to match the available range and cover; A poor route can erase the intended advantage of this shotguns entry
Useful setupPrioritize ready speed and a clear center-screen reference for room entries; Choose the route first; attachments cannot rescue an exposed long-range challenge
Challenge noteComplete this weapon's Multiplayer performance and technical camo challenges to earn Gold. This launch firearm belongs to the original Diamond and Dark Matter route; the Combat Knife is an additional base-game mastery requirement outside this 46-render firearm/special directory.
Progression tipGold is per weapon, Diamond covers the base-game weapons in one class, and Dark Matter covers every original class requirement. Post-launch weapons keep separate personal challenge tracks.
Camo tipUse the MOG 12 from a route that gives its pump-action action time to complete, then move before repeating the same angle.
Compared withUse the MOG 12 as the reference point for the shotguns catalog before comparing later entries.

MOG 12 — common questions

How do you unlock the MOG 12 in Black Ops 4?

The MOG 12 unlocks at Level 8 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 multiplayer. The level cap is 55, and prestige is ten standard Multiplayer Prestige levels followed by Master Prestige progression to level 1000; weapon Prestige and mode-specific progression are separate.

How do you unlock camos on the MOG 12?

Camo progress is per-weapon. Hunt through Red Tiger scale class-adjusted performance totals. Roller Rink, Mother of Pearl, Purple Hex, Penthouse and Spectrum use technical objectives. Gold completes one weapon, Diamond completes an original class and Dark Matter completes every original class requirement, including the Combat Knife. Zombies, Blackout, reactive and Black Market camos are not prerequisites for Multiplayer Gold, Diamond or Dark Matter. On the MOG 12 the final tier is Spectrum — Earn 5 kills without dying, five times. 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.
