How to unlock all weapon mastery camos in Modern Warfare 3

As a new Call of Duty installment is released, the excitement builds for players eager to embark on a journey to master weapon camos. This comprehensive guide covers all the essential information on unlocking mastery camos in Modern Warfare 3.

Modern Warfare 2 introduced 308 completionist camos, including gold, platinum, polyatomic, and orion. Those skins aren’t going anywhere, as Modern Warfare 3’s Carry Forward program allows players to carry over all their MW2 weapon progression, operator skins, and weapon blueprints.

In total, there are 114 weapons in Modern Warfare 3 at launch, and a total of 912 completionist camos between both games. To eliminate any confusion, you cannot apply MW2 completionist camos on MW3 weapons, but base camos are universal.
