Speed up MW4 camo grind early game
The moment you dive into a new Call of Duty title, the hunt for cosmetic completionists is often the most satisfying part of the experience. With the early access period now underway for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, the camo grind is officially on, but this year’s system introduces some brilliant shortcuts designed to make the early effort feel less like a slog and more like a strategic sprint.
This update changes the game by making the progress across the different modes—DMZ, Warzone, and standard multiplayer—significantly more interconnected. Instead of treating each mode in isolation, players can now layer their progress, unlocking everything up to the Divergence completionist camo across all three environments before moving on to the Mode Mastery tiers.
The real game-changer lies in the ability to accelerate the process. You no longer have to wait for one specific path to finish before starting another. Players can now simultaneously pursue military and special camos. For example, if you are working on the military tier, you can immediately switch to tackling the special camo challenges, unlocking them in parallel.
This parallel processing is hugely beneficial for accelerating the grind. Consider the specific challenges: many special camos require specific attachments or weapon unlocks, such as achieving kills with a suppressor. By utilizing weapons found in DMZ runs, players can immediately unlock these necessary components and start working on special camo requirements right alongside their military objectives.
To make this optimization truly effective, mastering the Gunsmith is essential. To unlock the full potential of the DMZ system, reaching level 10 and unlocking the Gunsmith station in the FOB area is crucial. This tool allows players to customize weapons found during runs, ensuring they have the necessary attachments to meet the often tricky requirements for special camo challenges.
This customization extends beyond weapons you buy. Players can apply attachments to any weapon they find, even those for which they don’t have a manual, provided they have the DMZ Cash. This streamlined approach means that even if a run ends in a loss, the progress made toward camo unlocks remains global, giving players a massive head start.
This system turns the early access phase into a rewarding scavenger hunt, encouraging players to explore and experiment across different modes. The flexibility to work on different types of camos simultaneously ensures that every session contributes meaningfully to your overall collection, setting a fresh and exciting pace for the campaign.
As the early access period continues, players can leverage these cross-mode mechanics to maximize their time, ensuring that the excitement of unlocking those coveted completionist camos doesn’t have to wait. And when the global launch finally arrives on October 23, the competitive field will be filled with players who mastered the art of the simultaneous camo grind.
