Modern Warfare 2 has a new revamped camo system in place, and players are looking at ways to unlock the latest camos as soon as possible. After unlocking the Gold camo, people try to unlock the platinum.
This guide will explain how to unlock the Platinum camo. In order to get the Platinum camo, you must complete all the Gold camos for the respective gun class. For example, if you want to unlock Platinum for Assault Rifles, you need to unlock Gold Camos to all the guns in the category, such as Kastov, M4, and M16. So let’s get into it!
How Camo Challenges Work
Mastery Camos can be obtained by doing particular challenges. After unlocking the Gold Mastery Camo, you have to unlock the Platinum Mastery Camo.
This guide will explain how to unlock the Platinum camo in Modern Warfare 2.
Mastery Camos can only be used on the same weapon category and can not be switched between classes. On the other hand, normal Camos can be swapped without any restrictions.
How Do You Unlock The Platinum Camo
To unlock the Platinum camo, you must complete all the gold camo challenges in all the weapons of the same category and then do the Platinum challenge, which we will explain in the table below.
| Assault Rifles | 25 longshot kills |
| SMGs | 25 longshot kills |
| Battle Rifles | 25 longshot kills |
| Snipers | 25 longshot kills |
| Shotguns | 20 longshot kills |
| Pistols | 15 longshot kills |
| Melee | 10 double kills |
| Riot Shield | 10 double kills |
| Launchers | 25 enemy killstreaks, equipment, or vehicles |
Each weapon in the category requires a different set of challenges to be fulfilled before allowing you to equip the gold camo. Once you unlock them all, you can do the platinum challenge.
The challenges for gold camo will differ for an SMG, Sniper, or Shotgun, for example.
These Gold Challenges are pretty basic. This guide will look at the challenges required to obtain gold for the Assault Rifle.
| Level 1 | Get 50 kills with the M4 |
| Level 8 | Get 50 kills while ADS with the M4 |
| Level 14 | Get 10 double kills with the M4 |
| Level 19 | Get 15 kills from behind with the M4 |
After finishing all these challenges, head to the gunsmith panel and press customize. Here, you will see multiple options. Choose camo.
After going to the camo screen, check if the platinum is unlocked. You can use your controller left stick or WASD to hover over it and finally select it if it is unlocked.
If you can not select it and it is grayed out, press on the weapon mastery panel above, and it will let you know what needs to be done to get the camo.
