How do you unlock the PM63?

The PM63 unlocks at Level 29 in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is a compact, fast-firing SMG with a 20-round standard magazine and a focused attachment menu. It is best used for quick close engagements where its firing pace matters, not for suppressed or optic-heavy builds. 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.

StrengthsFast close-range follow-up with a compact sight picture; Grip, Extended Mags and Dual Wield create clear build choices
TradeoffsTwenty rounds run out quickly during a long spray; No Suppressor or conventional optic options
Attachments and setupIts menu is limited to Extended Mags, Grip, Dual Wield and Rapid Fire; Extended Mags is the practical all-round choice; Dual Wield gives up aiming down sights for a point-blank role
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 tipCenter before firing and keep each engagement short. If the first target escapes past close range, disengage before the magazine is spent.

PM63 — common questions

What level does the PM63 unlock at in Black Ops 1?

The PM63 unlocks at Level 29 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 PM63?

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 PM63 only unlocks it there.
