How do you unlock the Stoner63?

The Stoner63 is the classified LMG: buy the HK21, RPK and M60 first, then purchase it for 2,000 CoD Points; Level 21 is the earliest possible unlock. It combines fast automatic pressure with a 30-round magazine, behaving more like a heavy assault rifle than a deep-capacity support gun. It accepts all 14 standard store camos plus Gold from 14th Prestige.

How does the Stoner63 play in Black Ops 1?

Also written asStoner 63
RoleClassified fast rifle-like LMG
Real-world basisAmerican Stoner 63A modular weapon in its assault-rifle configuration, categorized as an LMG in-game
StrengthsFast firing rhythm for a machine gun; Rifle-like role with optics and Extended Mags available
TradeoffsThirty rounds disappear quickly at full fire rate; Requires buying every other LMG before it appears for purchase
Attachments and setupIts menu centers on optics and Extended Mags; there is no Grip or Dual Mags; Extended Mags is the clearest way to support its fast firing rhythm
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 tipTreat it as a heavier automatic rifle: burst at range, watch the ammunition counter and reload before pushing away from cover.
Compared withIt applies pressure faster than the M60 but starts with 70 fewer rounds; the HK21 shares its 30-round rifle-like role without the class buyout.

Stoner63 — common questions

What level does the Stoner63 unlock at in Black Ops 1?

The Stoner63 is a classified weapon in Call of Duty: Black Ops — buy every other weapon in its class first, making Level 21 the earliest possible rank. It then costs 2,000 CoD Points. The level cap is 50, and prestige is up to 15.

How do camos work on the Stoner63?

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 Stoner63 only unlocks it there.
