How do you unlock the Howitzer?

The Howitzer unlocks at Multiplayer Level 50 in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. It is a arcing grenade launcher: Its projectiles follow an arc and reward direct-impact or banked placement. Use that stable behavior rather than relying on patch-sensitive damage claims. Its camo track finishes at Neon Tiger (Get 3 kills without dying 20 times). Complete every camo challenge on it and Gold unlocks. Earn Gold on every camo-eligible launch weapon required in its category for Diamond. Complete the required base-game class mastery route to earn Black Sky.

How does the Howitzer play in Infinite Warfare?

Rolearcing grenade launcher
Real-world basisFictional Infinite Warfare weapon; no one-to-one real-world model is asserted.
StrengthsThe Howitzer has a clear arcing grenade launcher identity; Its projectiles follow an arc and reward direct-impact or banked placement
TradeoffsClose shots can meet the safety behavior and a missed arc exposes the reload; Its launcher role still depends on choosing the correct route and first engagement
Setup notesCreate safe line-of-sight, charge or lock windows with the rest of the class; Treat positioning and target selection as the setup; ordinary gun attachments are not the point
Challenge noteComplete the 14 Multiplayer challenge camos on this weapon for Gold. It counts toward the original 35-weapon Black Sky route.
Progression tipGold is earned per weapon, Diamond covers its category, Solar covers the original non-Classic categories, and Black Sky adds the original Classic category. This launch weapon participates in that original scope.
Camo tipLearn one repeatable objective arc at a time and fire from protected space.
Compared withThe P-LAW fires a charged line; the Howitzer solves cover with an arc.

Howitzer — common questions

How do you unlock the Howitzer in Infinite Warfare?

The Howitzer unlocks at Level 50 in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare multiplayer. The level cap is 55, and prestige is 10 standard Prestige levels, followed by Master Prestige progression. Each standard Prestige grants a Permanent Unlock Token; odd-numbered entries also supply Classic Weapon Unlock Tokens.

How do you unlock camos on the Howitzer?

Camo progress is per-weapon. Desert, Mars, Arctic Tech and Wilderness track initial kills or streak destruction. Mojave through Zebra use class-specific objectives, followed by Autumn, Whiteout, Bengal, Murdered Out and Neon Tiger. Gold is per weapon and Diamond normally covers one category; Combat Knife Diamond instead requires all original non-Classic secondaries, and Classic Diamond requires all six original Classic weapons. Solar covers the original non-Classic categories and Black Sky completes the original Classic step. Quartermaster, Mission Team, Zombies, event and promotional camos are not prerequisites for Gold, Diamond, Solar or Black Sky. On the Howitzer the final tier is Neon Tiger — Get 3 kills without dying 20 times. After that, Gold needs every camo challenge on the weapon done, and Diamond needs Gold on every camo-eligible launch weapon required in its category, and Black Sky requires mastery across the base-game weapon classes.
