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Squad Point costs, magazine descriptions and the class-specific camouflage matrix were cross-checked against dedicated historical references.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 Remington R5 play in Ghosts?

RoleMeasured medium-range automatic rifle
Real-world basisRemington R5 RGP
StrengthsControlled shots are easy to place from cover; Its predictable rhythm suits defensive objective angles
TradeoffsThe 24-round magazine allows less waste than most assault rifles; Close-range misses are harder to recover when a faster weapon is already firing
Attachments and setup notesExtended Mags directly addresses the smaller base magazine; A clean optic supports lane work; a suppressor is better reserved for a deliberate stealth build
Challenge noteComplete Remington R5'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 Remington R5 itself. Read each challenge's assault rifle requirement before building the class, because Ghosts does not use one shared objective for every gun.
Camo tipReload before rotating and avoid spending half the magazine on an uncertain wall angle.
Compared withThe AK-12 is another deliberate automatic choice; the R5 asks for stricter magazine discipline.

Remington R5 — common questions

How do you unlock the Remington R5 in Ghosts?

The Remington R5 costs 7 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 Remington R5?

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 Remington R5 the final tier is Woodland — 15 kills shortly after sliding. After that, Gold needs every camo challenge on the weapon done.
