Black Ops 7 Season 06, The Haunting, is the biggest — and last — camo drop before Modern Warfare 4 resets everything, and it stuffs over 45 new Weapon Camos into a single season. Between the new Camo Costume Party Event, Weapon Prestige camos, Winstreak challenges and both Ranked ladders, the unlock paths are scattered across Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame and Warzone — so it's easy to miss half of them. This guide maps every confirmed Season 06 camo, exactly where it comes from, and the fastest way to finish the grind before the season ends.
Quick answer (TL;DR): Black Ops 7 Season 06 (The Haunting) launches September 17, 2026 at 9 AM PT with over 45 earnable Weapon Camos — most of them Universal (usable on any weapon), some Animated. The confirmed pools are: the Camo Costume Party Event (9 camos, 4 animated, earned via Weapon Class Camo Challenges across all four modes), 12 Weapon Prestige camos for the four new guns (3 each — VMP, TR51 Para, Arcblade, Roc 20mm), 2 animated Weekly Challenge camos ("Jelly" and "Leviathan"), 6 BlackCell Camo Challenge camos, and 6 camos each from Multiplayer Ranked Play, Warzone Resurgence Ranked, and Warzone Winstreak Challenges. The fastest route to Universal camos is the Camo Costume Party Event (short weapon-class challenges) plus Weekly Challenge completion; the Ranked and Winstreak camos demand real competitive time.

When does Season 06 go live and when should you start grinding?
Season 06 launches September 17, 2026 at 9 AM PT across all platforms, per the official Call of Duty blog. That gives you a hard window: BO7's camo progression carries no guarantee of transferring once Modern Warfare 4 arrives on October 23, 2026, so the season-locked camos below are genuinely "now or never."
Treyarch frames it plainly in the Season 06 announcement:
"Complete Weekly Challenges throughout the season to unlock new Attachments, Camo rewards, and XP. Plus, unlock over 45 Weapon Camos earnable throughout Season 06!" — Call of Duty official blog
The practical read: front-load the event and weekly camos (they're on timers), and slot the Ranked/Winstreak grinds around them so you're not racing a deadline at the end of the season. If you want to be sure you finish every Universal camo before the MW4 migration, this is also the last BO7 window worth booking a BO7 mastery camo unlock or account & weapon leveling service for.
What is the Camo Costume Party Event and which camos does it give?
The Camo Costume Party is Season 06's headline camo event, and it's the single richest source of Universal camos you can grind quickly. Per the official blog, it awards 9 camos total (4 Animated) plus the new Arcblade Melee Weapon by completing Weapon Class Camo Challenges across four modes.
The catch that trips people up: this event pulls challenges from Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, and Warzone — and Treyarch specifically calls it out. As the announcement warns:
"You'll want to make sure to complete Challenges from all four Modes in this one!"
So if you only play Multiplayer, you'll cap out short of the full 9. To finish the event:
- Multiplayer — complete Weapon Class Camo Challenges in standard MP playlists (the fastest lane for most players).
- Zombies — knock out class challenges on the Season 06 maps and the expanded Rogue Run.
- Endgame — clear the mode's camo challenges on nighttime Avalon.
- Warzone — finish the remaining class challenges in Battle Royale, Resurgence or Black Ops Royale.
Because the camos here are Universal, every one you earn applies to any weapon you carry — so this event is the best time-to-reward ratio in the whole season.
How do the Weapon Prestige camos work for the new guns?
Season 06 adds 12 Weapon Prestige Camos (4 Animated) — three per new weapon, unlocked by prestiging each gun. All four new weapons and their confirmed Prestige camo names, straight from the official blog:
| Weapon | Type | Prestige 1 | Prestige 2 | Prestige Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VMP | SMG | Magma | Refract | Hotrod |
| TR51 Para | Assault Rifle | Rawhide | Cherished | Jungle Party |
| Arcblade | Melee | Polygon | Leadlight | Very Berry |
| Roc 20mm | Special | Bespatter | Composite | Spooled |
To earn these you have to level and then Prestige each weapon (max its Mastery track, then reset it for the Prestige camo tier). The VMP and TR51 Para come from the Battle Pass; the Arcblade is an in-season event reward (tied to the Camo Costume Party) and the Roc 20mm unlocks through Events and Weekly Challenges. You can't Prestige a gun you haven't unlocked yet, so the unlock order is: get the weapon → grind its Mastery → Prestige it → collect the three camos. If you'd rather skip the multi-Prestige grind on all four, that's exactly what a BO7 weapon leveling service is built for.
Which camos come from Weekly Challenges and BlackCell?
Two more Universal pools sit outside the event:
- Weekly Challenge Camos (2 total, both Animated):
- "Jelly" — earn any two Weekly Rewards to unlock this Universal Animated camo.
- "Leviathan" — earn all Weekly Rewards across Season 06 to unlock it (the season-long completionist camo).
- BlackCell Camo Challenge Rewards (6 total): unlocked through BlackCell-exclusive challenges for players who buy the Season 06 BlackCell upgrade. These sit alongside the "Revenant" Operator and Mastercraft Blueprint variants.
Each week, completing any six challenges across the four supported modes unlocks that week's reward (Attachments, camos, XP, and the "Pearl Mollusk" FG42 Blueprint), which is what feeds the "Jelly"/"Leviathan" chain. Miss a week and "Leviathan" is off the table — it requires every weekly reward, so consistency, not skill, is the gate here.

What are the Ranked and Winstreak camos, and are they worth it?
Three pools are locked behind competitive play — these are the hardest, highest-flex camos in the season:
- Multiplayer Ranked Play Camos (6 total): earned by climbing the MP Ranked ladder. Rank-tier rewards run from Gold (Calling Card + Weapon Camo) up through Platinum, Diamond, Crimson, Iridescent (Animated Camo) and Top 250 (Animated Camo). Note Season 06 Ranked has a shortened run time, so the climb window is tighter than usual.
- Warzone Resurgence Ranked Play Camos (6 total): the WZ mirror of the above, from Gold through the Top 250 Champion animated rewards.
- Winstreak Camos (6 total): "Earn six new Weapon Camos with new Season 06 Winstreak Challenges across Battle Royale, Resurgence, and Black Ops Royale," per the blog — i.e. chain kills/wins in Warzone modes to unlock them.
Add it up and the confirmed Season 06 camo count lands at 47 across all seven pools — comfortably clearing the official "over 45" figure:
| Camo pool | Count | Animated | Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camo Costume Party Event | 9 | 4 | MP / ZM / END / WZ |
| Weapon Prestige (4 new guns) | 12 | 4 | All |
| Weekly Challenge | 2 | 2 | All |
| BlackCell Camo Challenge | 6 | — | All |
| MP Ranked Play | 6 | — | MP |
| WZ Resurgence Ranked | 6 | — | WZ |
| WZ Winstreak | 6 | — | WZ |
| Total | 47 | 14 | — |
For most players, the Ranked and Winstreak camos are the ones that never get finished — the shortened Ranked season and the win-streak requirements make them a real time sink. If you want the Iridescent/Top 250 flex without the grind, a Warzone Ranked boost or BO7 mastery camo unlock closes the gap.
Fastest way to unlock every Season 06 camo
Prioritise by time-to-reward, not by which looks coolest:
- Weekly Challenges first, every week. Six challenges/week keeps the "Jelly" → "Leviathan" chain alive and drip-feeds Universal camos. Missing weeks is the #1 reason people don't finish.
- Camo Costume Party Event across all four modes. Nine Universal camos + the Arcblade for short weapon-class challenges — the best ratio in the season. Don't skip the Zombies/Endgame legs.
- Prestige the four new guns. Level → Prestige each of the VMP, TR51 Para, Arcblade and Roc 20mm for their three camos apiece (12 total).
- Ranked + Winstreak last. Start early anyway because of the shortened Ranked season, but treat these as the long-tail grind.
Skip the grind on the hardest camos:
- BO7 Mastery Camo Unlock — finish every Universal camo before MW4 resets progression.
- BO7 Account & Weapon Leveling — level and Prestige the four new guns fast for their camos.
- Warzone Ranked Boost — climb to Iridescent/Top 250 for the animated Ranked camos.

FAQ
How many camos are in BO7 Season 6? Over 45, per the official Call of Duty blog. Adding up every confirmed pool — Camo Costume Party (9), Weapon Prestige (12), Weekly Challenge (2), BlackCell (6), MP Ranked (6), WZ Resurgence Ranked (6) and WZ Winstreak (6) — lands at 47 total, 14 of them Animated. Most are Universal, so they work on any weapon.
When does BO7 Season 6 The Haunting release? September 17, 2026 at 9 AM PT across all platforms, according to callofduty.com. It's expected to be BO7's last major seasonal update before Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23, 2026.
What is the Camo Costume Party Event? It's Season 06's camo event, awarding 9 camos (4 Animated) plus the Arcblade Melee Weapon for completing Weapon Class Camo Challenges. The catch: the challenges span Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame and Warzone, so you must play all four modes to finish it.
Are the Season 6 camos Universal or weapon-specific? Most are Universal — earned once and applied to any weapon you carry. Some (like "Jelly," "Leviathan" and several event and Prestige camos) are Animated. The Weapon Prestige camos are tied to prestiging each of the four new guns.
Do BO7 camos carry over to Modern Warfare 4? There's no confirmation that Season 06 camo progress transfers to MW4. Historically new Call of Duty titles reset weapon and camo progression, so treat Season 06's season-locked camos as your last clean window to finish them before the October 23 launch.
What's the fastest camo to unlock in Season 6? The Camo Costume Party Event camos and Weekly Challenge camos are the quickest — short weapon-class challenges and six-challenges-a-week completion — versus the Ranked and Winstreak camos, which require sustained competitive play across a shortened Ranked season.
