Here is a look at the Vel 46 Camo Challenges and tips on how to complete each one.

Vel 46 Camo Challenges in MW2¶

The Vel 46 Camo Challenges are as follows:

Vel 46 Challenges Tips¶

Three of the 4 basic challenges are fairly simple to get. As long as you ADS with every kill then you should complete both Challenge 1 and 2 together, then for the “Get 10 Hipfire Kills with the Vel 46”, you’ll want to jump into a game of TDM or Free For All and when you come across enemies in close-range avoid using ADS and simply just spray bullets at them and you should bag the kill. Additionally, doing this in these game modes will allow you to avoid coming up against multiple enemies at once.

Next up, you’ll move onto “Get 10 Double Kills with the Vel 46” which is slightly harder compared to the previous three challenges but still doable. You’ll want to play objective-based game modes, such as Hardpoint or Headquarters, as you’ll constantly have enemies sitting around the objective allowing you to grab two easy kills.

Vel 46 Gold Camo Challenge and Higher Mastery Level Challenges¶

Once you’ve completed the four basic camos you’ll move onto the VEL 46 Gold Camo Challenge which is a lot easier to complete. All you need to do is get three kills without dying ten times to get the gold camo. Team Deathmatch is probably a better mode to play for this challenge as you dont have to worry about the objective, so you can find somewhere to hide out, so you can pick of enemies by surprise making it easier to wrack up the three killstreak. Upon completion of the VEL 46 Gold Camo Challenge you’ll need to unlock Gold for the remaining Assault Rifles guns before you can move onto the VEL 46 Platinum Camo Challenge.

This Camo is a little more difficult, as you need to get long-distance kills. Here we recommend sitting on long angles in Invasion maps, or playing long angles of Taraq or Embassy to get the kills. If you mount it to the wall by pressing . Additionally, if you’re finding long-shots hard to pull off, then try one of the magnified scopes, such as the VLK 4.0 Optic or Forge Tac Delta 4 as it’ll make seeing enemies in the distance easier.

Once you’ve obtained all 51 Platinum weapons you’ll finally move onto the VEL 46 Polyatomic Camo Challenge which requires you to 25 headshots. Stick with whatever build you as that works with your playstyle to get it. We recommend being close to mid range whilst using the Cronen Mini Red Dot to make it easier to line up your shots. Stick with none-objective based gamemodes like TDM as it’ll make it easier for you to avoid being in situations where you’re facing 3+ enemies.

This concludes the VEL 46 camo challenges for MW2. Good luck farming those challenges, getting gorgeous gold and pretty platinum and other hard to graft for skins. If we happen to catch the requirements for Orion, we will update this page with the relevant information
