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Squad Point costs, magazine descriptions and the class-specific camouflage matrix were cross-checked against dedicated historical references.

How does the Maverick play in Ghosts?

RoleDLC general-purpose automatic rifle
Real-world basisA fictional RM-22/FAL-style custom rifle; no exact production model is verified
StrengthsFlexible automatic operation works across common objective routes; It adds a distinct DLC rifle without requiring a hybrid fire mode
TradeoffsAccess depends on the Onslaught entitlement and installation; It still needs controlled fire when sightlines open
Attachments and setup notesStart with a clean optic and add recoil or handling support to match the map; Confirm the DLC is installed before troubleshooting a missing Create-a-Soldier entry
Challenge noteComplete Maverick'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 Maverick 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 the Maverick as a flexible rifle rather than forcing every engagement into one distance.
Compared withThe Maverick-A2 is the sniper counterpart from the same DLC; the Maverick remains the automatic rifle.

Maverick — common questions

How do you unlock the Maverick in Ghosts?

The Maverick comes with the Onslaught DLC / Maverick Weapon Pack in Call of Duty: Ghosts — no level requirement or Unlock Token. 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 Maverick?

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 Maverick the final tier is Woodland — 15 kills shortly after sliding. After that, Gold needs every camo challenge on the weapon done.

Can you unlock the Maverick for me?
