How do you unlock the Tigershark?

The Tigershark 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 sustained-fire support weapon role in the Light Machine Guns catalog. Its automatic cadence rewards controlled tracking and a deliberate release before the sight drifts. 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 Tigershark play in Black Ops 4?

Rolesustained-fire support weapon
Real-world basisBlack Ops 4 in-game weapon; no unsupported real-world equivalence is asserted.
StrengthsThe Tigershark has a clear sustained-fire support weapon identity; Its automatic cadence rewards controlled tracking and a deliberate release before the sight drifts
TradeoffsThe fully automatic timing still has to match the available range and cover; A poor route can erase the intended advantage of this light machine guns entry
Useful setupFavor visibility and sustained control from a prepared lane; Plan the reload and rotation before committing to a long hold
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 Tigershark from a route that gives its fully automatic action time to complete, then move before repeating the same angle.
Compared withCompare it with the VKM 750 in the same class: both fill sustained-fire support weapon space, but the Tigershark's fully automatic timing needs its own route.

Tigershark — common questions

How do you unlock the Tigershark in Black Ops 4?

The Tigershark was added post-launch to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 through an operation Spectre Rising weapon. Platform availability is listed on this page. 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. Historical post-launch access; current inventory, account entitlement and platform services can vary.

How do you unlock camos on the Tigershark?

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 Tigershark 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.
