How do you unlock the M1?

The M1 uses a Classic Weapon Unlock Token rather than a normal player-level unlock in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. It is a classic semi-automatic rifle: It uses a player-paced shot rhythm and a clip that is normally emptied before reload. 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 M1 play in Infinite Warfare?

Roleclassic semi-automatic rifle
Real-world basisReturns the M1 Garand service-rifle pattern
StrengthsThe M1 has a clear classic semi-automatic rifle identity; It uses a player-paced shot rhythm and a clip that is normally emptied before reload
TradeoffsPoor shot pacing or reload planning can strand the weapon between fights; Its classic weapon role still depends on choosing the correct route and first engagement
Useful setupBuild for the weapon's actual firing behavior rather than treating every Classic entry as the same class; Use its legacy mechanic deliberately and protect the distance where that mechanic becomes vulnerable
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 tipCount engagements and keep a safe route ready for the clip change.
Compared withThe DMR-1 is a futuristic scoped semi-auto; the M1 is the iron-sight Classic rifle.

M1 — common questions

How do you unlock the M1 in Infinite Warfare?

The M1 unlocks at Classic Weapon Unlock Token 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 M1?

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 M1 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.
