What does Sahara camo look like?
Sahara is a low-contrast desert pattern made from flowing cream, sand, taupe and brown shapes. It is softer and less spotted than Nevada, and it avoids the scratched solid-color surface used by Dusty.
How does Sahara camo ownership work?
Set aside 250 CP after Level 22 and select the primary that will receive Sahara. The same purchase cannot be equipped on a different primary without paying its own 250 CP price.
The Sahara page has no challenge meter because BO1 standard camos are direct purchases. Entering a new Prestige resets the weapon-specific purchase with the rest of your bought loadout inventory.
