In addition to being a fresh start in the series, Black Ops 7 is a tribute to Black Ops 2, bringing back a variety of legendary camos from that time period. While they’re not given out quickly, titles like Weaponized 115, Bacon, Cyborg, and Pack-a-Punch are back.

Instead, this grind is both familiar and fresh since Treyarch has included these vintage skins into the new Weapon Prestige system. Here are the steps to unlock the vintage BO2 camos in Black Ops 7.

Understand the Weapon Prestige System

The Weapon Prestige system is the key to unlocking BO2 camos in BO7.

You can rank up every weapon in BO7, and once you reach a certain level, you can “Prestige” it: resetting the weapon level while unlocking rare prestige rewards like classic camos.

Prestige 1: Your first reset

Prestige 2: Second reset

Weapon Prestige Master: After reaching a very high level (in BO7, that cap is level 250).

You can’t unlock the BO2 camos related to that weapon unless you’ve reached certain milestones. Jump into bot-friendly lobbies where every match feels like a highlight reel. Perfect for finishing camo challenges and padding stats without sweaty lobbies holding you back.

Target Specific Camos & Weapons

You don’t earn every BO2 camo the same way; each classic skin usually has its own Prestige requirement tied to a specific weapon.

If Dark Matter is your end-game dream, this breakdown shows the fastest way to climb challenges and stay efficient while chasing BO7’s top-tier mastery camo.

Here are a few prominent instances:

• Weaponized 115: You need to become a Weapon Prestige Master at level 250 on the Echo-12 shotgun in order to get this animated, global camo.
• Bacon: On the MPC-25 SMG, but also needs Master level 250.
• Graffiti: Earned previously, like when reached Prestige 1 on the M15 MOD-0.
• You unlock Pack-a-Punch by reaching Prestige 2 on the Echo-12.
• Cyborg, Cherry Blossom, Skulls, Aqua, Comics, Dia de Muertos, Kawaii, Ronin, Art of War, Benjamins, Afterlife, Zombies, Dragon, and Paladi belong to the other BO2 camos that will be returning.

Grind Smart – Level Efficiently

Using a weapon to reach level 250 is no simple task. Here are a few pointers:

• Employ XP Tokens for Double Weapons: When aiming for Prestige Master, these are important.  Turn your grind into lightning speed with Black Ops 7 Double XP codes from MitchCactus. Redeem and activate instantly to power-level your weapons and prestige.
• Choose your strongest or favorite mode: multiplayer, zombies, or campaign, to level up more efficiently. In this way, you won’t have to force yourself to grind.
• Focusing your XP on one weapon at a time is more effective because each BO2 camo is tied to a specific weapon’s Prestige level.

Apply the Camo Universally

A BO2 camo becomes available on all guns once you unlock it through a specific weapon. In simple terms, you may apply that camo to any other weapon in your arsenal after putting in the effort on one.

Why This System Works

• BO2 fans experience both nostalgia and reward as they experience their vintage camo while also participating in a meaningful modern prestige grind.
• Tough But Fair: It’s not easy to unlock these camos. A consistent effort is necessary, particularly for Master-level unlocks like Bacon and Weaponized 115.
• Long-Term Play Value: After unlocking their preferred loadouts, players have a reason to continue improving their weapons thanks to the prestige system.

Not sure if BO7 is for you? MitchCactus’s demo guide breaks down how Treyarch might release a beta-style preview or limited trial: letting you try out movement and Zombies before diving into the full grind.

In conclusion, you unlock BO2 camos in Black Ops 7 by putting in the work, grinding the required hours, and hitting master levels on specific weapons: not by buying nostalgia. If you enjoy a good challenge or have been a lifelong BO2 fan, this grind is well worth it.
