How do you unlock the Olympia?

The Olympia is available once Create-a-Class opens at Level 4 in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It gives you two immediate shots before a full reload, so a clean close-range entry and a safe exit matter more than sustained fire. No CoD Points purchase is required. It accepts all 14 standard store camos plus Gold from 14th Prestige.

How does the Olympia play in Black Ops 1?

RoleDefault two-shot over-under shotgun
Real-world basisBeretta 682-style over-under sporting shotgun, named Olympia in-game
StrengthsTwo rapid close-range shots without a pump cycle; Free default access and a simple no-attachment setup
TradeoffsEvery two shots force a reload; No attachments are available to change its role
Attachments and setupNone. The Olympia has no multiplayer attachment menu; Perks and route choice must solve its reload and range limits
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 tipEnter a room with both shells loaded and a retreat route in mind. If the first two shots do not clear the fight, break line of sight before reloading.
Compared withIt fires its second shot sooner than the pump-action Stakeout; the semi-auto SPAS-12 holds eight shells for sustained close defense.

Olympia — common questions

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

The Olympia is available once Create-a-Class opens at Level 4 in Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer. No CoD Points purchase is required. The level cap is 50, and prestige is up to 15.

How do camos work on the Olympia?

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 Olympia only unlocks it there.
