The new Call of Duty is finally here for PC, the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. To commemorate the occasion, Black Ops Cold War offers new skins for players to unlock. Let’s take a look at the skins and how to unlock them.
To unlock the gold, diamond, and dark matter skins, you will need to complete challenges using a specific weapon. Be warned: It gets grindy! Each weapon has the same challenges, so knowing what needs to be done is simple, but takes a lot of time to do. Once you complete a challenge, you will earn a camofor that weapon and, once you complete enough of them, you can work towards unlocking a new skin. Here are the weapons in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and each challenge that needs to be completed:
How to unlock the new skins in BOCW:
- Gold - Unlock 35 camos for the selected weapon
- Diamond - Gold for all weapons in a single weapon class
- Dark Matter Ultra - Diamond camo for all weapon classes
Let's take a look at each weapon and its tasks. In most cases, it's the same task with different totals needed for completion.
