Current product and add-on availability was checked against Xbox, PlayStation and Steam listings, while weapon rosters, Squad Point costs, magazine descriptions and the class-specific camouflage matrix were cross-checked against dedicated historical references. Real-world weapon bases are qualified where the in-game model is fictional or uncertain. Setup advice is editorial and avoids unsupported damage or time-to-kill claims.

How does the ARX-160 play in Ghosts?

RoleRapid-pressure automatic rifle
Real-world basisBeretta ARX160
StrengthsResponsive automatic pressure is useful when entering an objective; The rifle can transition quickly between nearby targets
TradeoffsThe firing pace magnifies poor ammunition control; Long lanes punish continuous sprays
Attachments and setup notesRecoil control helps extend its useful routes, while a simple optic aids target transitions; Extended capacity can support aggressive multi-target pushes
Challenge noteComplete ARX-160's twelve class-specific multiplayer challenges—Snow, Brush, Autumn, Ocean, Red, Caustic, Scale, Crocodile, Green, Net, Trail and Woodland—to unlock Gold on this weapon. Clan Wars and downloadable camos are not required.
Progression tipCamo progress is stored on the ARX-160 itself. Read each challenge's assault rifle requirement before building the class, because Ghosts does not use one shared objective for every gun.
Camo tipUse quick bursts while crossing open sightlines, then commit full auto only after reaching close cover.
Compared withThe FAD offers a larger base magazine; the ARX-160 uses a conventional 30-round load with a similarly aggressive purpose.

ARX-160 — common questions

How do you unlock the ARX-160 in Ghosts?

The ARX-160 costs 10 Squad Points per soldier in Call of Duty: Ghosts; it is not locked behind a player-rank level. The level cap is 60, and prestige is 10 Prestige levels in the original multiplayer progression, with the squad system linking soldiers to Prestige milestones.

How do you unlock camos on the ARX-160?

Camo progress is per-weapon. The standard Ghosts ladder contains Snow, Brush, Autumn, Ocean, Red, Caustic, Scale, Crocodile, Green, Net, Trail and Woodland. The condition changes by class, so every camo page includes the exact assault-rifle, SMG, LMG, marksman, sniper, shotgun and Riot Shield matrix. Only primary firearms and the Riot Shield use the normal twelve-camo path. Handguns, launchers, the Combat Knife, Gold Combat Knife and Gold PDW do not earn those camos. On the ARX-160 the final tier is Woodland — 15 kills shortly after sliding. After that, Gold needs every camo challenge on the weapon done.
