Mastery camos, also known as Completionist camos, are a great way of showing off your skills in Modern Warfare 3. From multiplayer to Zombies, here are all the Mastery camos in MW3 along with how to unlock them.

Warzone’s integration in Modern Warfare 3 marked the start of a new era for the CoD franchise. The new sequel not only brought changes to the multiplayer mode but also revamped movement mechanics along with new features such as Tac-Stance and After-Market Parts.

MW3 also introduced an array of new weapons, which means the grind for Completionist or Mastery camos is back. Many players spend hours unlocking these skins for each gun as they are a great sign of mastery over the weapon.

On that note, here’s every Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer and Zombies Mastery camo and how to get them.

There are 12 Mastery camos in Modern Warfare 3 and similar to previous years, players will have Mastery camos for both multiplayer and Zombies. It is also worth noting that, thanks to the Carry Forward feature, MW2 guns will also receive camos.

Here’s every Mastery camo available in Modern Warfare 3:

  • Gilded
