Unlocking weapon skins is one of the cores of Modern Warfare’s multiplayer progression, just as it is in many FPS games. There is one skin however that is prized above all others, the Damascus Camo. This mottled camouflage design, which mimics the patterns found in Damascus Steel, takes a real grind to unlock. To speed things up, here’s our guide to unlocking it as fast as possible.

In order to unlock the Damascus Camo, players must have unlocked every other Camo in the game. This is done by completing all the challenges for every weapon in each of the weapon groups. Obviously, this makes Damascus the hardest Camo in the game to acquire, but there is a way to speed up the grind.

Destroying enemy equipment and Killstreaks counts for weapon challenges, which isn’t immediately obvious in game-play. By equipping the Spotter perk, which makes enemy equipment and Killstreaks visible through walls, players can find and destroy these items easily. The Full-Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition is also helpful, as it increases damage against Killstreaks.

Breaking Toys

Being able to earn challenge points against equipment is a distinct advantage, especially as they don’t move or fire back. Crouching, reloading and hip-firing to destroy a Claymore Mine counts toward all three of those challenges. It will even boost Modern Warfare’s main kills and Killstreak challenges.

Shooting down UAVs is also a good way to earn challenge points, as they can count as Longshots with enough distance. The Ground War game-mode is especially good for this, making it possible to destroy several UAVs in a single life. Anything an enemy player calls in or puts down counts toward this method, including Barricades, Trip-mines, Wheelsons, Personal Radars and even C4. So players looking to earn their Damascus should be breaking every single piece of equipment they come across.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
