How do you unlock the Galil?

The Galil unlocks at Level 20 in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is a fully automatic assault rifle with a 35-round standard magazine, five more rounds than most rifles in the class. That extra capacity supports consecutive fights, while its steadier firing pace still rewards controlled bursts on long lanes. Buying it costs 2,000 CoD Points after the unlock condition is met. It accepts all 14 standard store camos plus Gold from 14th Prestige.

How does the Galil play in Black Ops 1?

RoleHigh-capacity mid-range assault rifle
Real-world basisIsraeli Galil ARM rifle
StrengthsLargest standard magazine among the conventional automatic assault rifles; Reliable all-purpose role from close to medium range
TradeoffsReloading the larger magazine can expose a careless push; It does not match the fastest rifles for point-blank firing pace
Attachments and setupThe Galil supports standard rifle optics, magazine upgrades, suppressor and underbarrel choices; Dual Mags complements the already generous capacity when repeated engagements matter
Challenge noteBO1 weapon challenges are separate from camouflage. Camos are bought per eligible primary with earned CoD Points rather than unlocked through a weapon challenge.
Camo tipUse the five extra rounds to finish a second fight, not as permission to spray. Reload after reaching cover rather than immediately after every elimination.
Compared withIt carries more ammunition than the FAMAS, AUG, AK47 and Commando; the FAMAS and AUG apply faster automatic pressure.

Galil — common questions

What level does the Galil unlock at in Black Ops 1?

The Galil unlocks at Level 20 in Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer. It then costs 2,000 CoD Points. The level cap is 50, and prestige is up to 15.

How do camos work on the Galil?

Camos here are bought, not earned: every standard camo costs 250 CoD Points per weapon once camo purchases unlock at level 22, with no challenges or headshots attached. Gold is the exception — it unlocks for purchase at 14th Prestige and costs 50,000 CoD Points per weapon. These are earned multiplayer CoD Points from BO1's economy, not the premium COD Points used in newer games. Each camo is bought per weapon, so buying one for the Galil only unlocks it there.
