How do you unlock and level the Type 73 in MW4?

Which Type 73 challenges should you work on first?
Level the Type 73 through its Military camos first; the same levels open its three Special challenges. Gold follows once all eleven are done: 15 eliminations in one Multiplayer match or 100 in one DMZ match. Platinum then needs Gold on every weapon in the Light Machine Gun class, and Harmonic Break needs Platinum on all 33 weapons.
Does Type 73 camo progress count in every MW4 mode?
Yes. Call of Duty confirmed on October 19, 2026 that each weapon has one camo track shared by Multiplayer and DMZ, and Warzone joins it in Season 1. DMZ counts non-player enemies, so its Special challenges ask for more kills. Mastery camos are the exception: each mode has its own three, which open after Divergence.
