What does Red camo look like?

Red covers the weapon in a deep crimson distressed-metal finish with darker scratches and a lighter worn strip across the middle. Unlike high-contrast Tiger or metallic Gold, it is a bold solid-color treatment rather than a repeating camouflage pattern.

How does Red camo ownership work?

Buy Red only on the primary weapons where you want the bright finish; every additional gun costs another 250 CP. Saving one purchase does not create account-wide camo ownership.

Red is a store transaction, so no match progress bar exists. Its per-weapon purchase is cleared with the rest of bought Create-a-Class equipment when you enter a new Prestige.
