How to Unlock Polyatomic Camo in Modern Warfare 2

Weapon Camouflage, or Camo, is a colored pattern that is applied to weapons.

This will allow your weapons to blend into environments or display your achievements.

In some Call of Duty games, camouflages are unlocked by headshots.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops, they can be bought for 250 points each.

However, Gold Camouflage costs 50,000 points and it’s available after you’ve prestiged 14 times.

In MW2, camo can be unlocked by completing challenges like prone eliminations, eliminations without dying, and others.
