How do you unlock the S6 Stingray?

The S6 Stingray added after launch through Operation Spectre Rising and the period's Black Market weapon-access system in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It fills the precision lane rifle role in the Tactical Rifles catalog. Its two-round burst projectile creates a clear commit-and-reset rhythm. 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. 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 S6 Stingray play in Black Ops 4?

Roleprecision lane rifle
Real-world basisBlack Ops 4 in-game weapon; no unsupported real-world equivalence is asserted.
StrengthsThe S6 Stingray has a clear precision lane rifle identity; Its two-round burst projectile creates a clear commit-and-reset rhythm
TradeoffsThe two-round burst projectile timing still has to match the available range and cover; A poor route can erase the intended advantage of this tactical rifles entry
Useful setupBuild around a settled first burst or first shot and a sight that keeps the target readable; Reposition after a missed opening instead of forcing the same lane
Challenge noteComplete this weapon's Multiplayer performance and technical camo challenges to earn Gold. It does not expand the original Dark Matter requirement; after account mastery, finish this weapon's own challenges to equip mastery finishes on it.
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 S6 Stingray from a route that gives its two-round burst projectile action time to complete, then move before repeating the same angle.
Compared withCompare it with the Swordfish in the same class: both fill precision lane rifle space, but the S6 Stingray's two-round burst projectile timing needs its own route.

S6 Stingray — common questions

How do you unlock the S6 Stingray in Black Ops 4?

The S6 Stingray was added post-launch to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 through an operation Spectre Rising weapon. Platform availability is listed on this page.

How do you unlock camos on the S6 Stingray?

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 S6 Stingray the final tier is Spectrum — Earn 5 kills without dying, five times. 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.
