What are camo challenges?

Camo challenges are optional challenges for each weapon in Modern Warfare 2. Each challenge is based on completing a certain amount of kills is under different circumstances. This could include tasks such as 30 prone kills or 50 kills with a silencer attached.

Once you complete a camo challenge you will unlock a weapon skin that can then be applied to any weapon in the game. These weapon skins have no impact on the performance of the weapon.

Almost every weapon in Modern Warfare 2 will have 4 camo challenges. Completing all 4 camo challenges will unlock additional mastery challenges, with the ultimate goal being to unlock the Orion mastery camo.
