Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

All MW3 Camo Challenges

By
Craig Robinson

The Camp grind in Modern Warfare is an important part of the mastery and showcasing your prowess in MW3. Like last year, there are plenty of camos to get your hands on, with the new MW3 weapons having their own multiplayer completionist tasks, along with some additional camos in the Zombies mode. To help you track what you need to do, especially with some of the buggy challenge names, here are all MW3 Camo Challenges, focusing especially on the new MW3 weapons.

It is also important to note that each section has a table for both the Multiplayer and another table for the Zombies mode. The multiplayer table will always be the first, with the zombies mode below that. You can find a ToC that auto-scrolls you to the sections you want to view the most:

All Assault Rifle Camo Challenges in MW3

The Interstellar Camo Challenge on the MCW.

Assault Rifles are likely the main grind players will get, with the vast majority of AR’s being fairly made for MW3’s TTk. For the most part, the challenges are simple, though there’s few curve balls in there. You multikills in one mag will require higher ammo count magazines to pull off, alongside the use of Stims or Battle Rage to make it better. Any Tac Stance challenges likely require better spring to fire and slide type kills around corner.s Rust is likely the best option for this, or some more indoor areas like Wasteland’s bunker, and other such locations. Other than that, most are simple enough to complete.

An example of the Borealis Camo on Assault Rifles in MW3.

Assault Rifle BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Golden Enigma Zircon Scale Serpentine Borealis
SVA 545 250 Kills Get 5 Kills with one Spray 20 times. 250 Kills in Medium or higher Threat Zones. 250 kills with 4 Perks. 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills Complete all challenges and unlock 36 Serpentine Camos

For the most part, Zombie challenges are straightforward. However, some are slightly harder if you’re new to the mode. The attachment ones typically require weapons were you increase their rarity in games. You can often do this via challenges or via the insurance weapon you select when its available, as you can slap any attachments on it you want. Meanwhile, perks can be easily acquired from certain vendors, contracts or other easter eggs. As for the keywords: Critical and Special or Elite, Critical Kills means killing enemies in Critical zones. On the other hand, the Specials are the special types of zombies, such as the Disciple. Meanwhile, the Elites are the higher level Merc enemies that flag up as Elites if you ADS hover of their name and shoot them.

All SMG Camo Challenges in MW3

An example of the Interstellar Camo in MW3 on an SMG.

SMG BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Gilded Forged Priceless Interstellar
Striker 50 Kills 25 Hipfire Kills 10 Crouched or Sliding Kills Kill 15 Operators affected by your tactical. 10 Kills without being damaged. 3 kills without dying 10 times 5 kills without dying ten times. Complete all other weapon challenges.
WSP Swarm 50 Kills 25 Hipfire Kills 10 Crouched or Sliding Kills Kill 15 Operators affected by your tactical. 10 Kills without being damaged. 10 Hipfire kills on enemies affected by your tactical. 10 Kills out of an enemy’s Line of sight. Complete all other weapon challenges.
AMR9 50 Kills 25 Hipfire Kills 10 Crouched or Sliding Kills Kill 15 Operators affected by your tactical. 10 Kills without being damaged. 10 quick kills after ADS. 5 kills without dying ten times. Complete all other weapon challenges.
WSP-9 50 Kills 25 Hipfire Kills 10 Crouched or Sliding Kills Kill 15 Operators affected by your tactical. 10 Kills without being damaged. 10 Kills using a Magnification Scope. 10 Suppressed Headshots Kills. Complete all other weapon challenges.
Rival-9 50 Kills 25 Hipfire Kills 10 Crouched or Sliding Kills Kill 15 Operators affected by your tactical. 10 Kills without being damaged. 10 quick Kills after ADS. 10 Suppressed Double Kills. Complete all other weapon challenges.
Striker-9 50 Kills 25 Hipfire Kills 10 Crouched or Sliding Kills Kill 15 Operators affected by your tactical. 10 Kills without being damaged. 15 Longshot Kills. 15 Headshots while moving. Complete all other weapon challenges.

Like the ARs, the SMGS are weapons with some trouble some tasks. The weapons tend to get more hipfire or tac stance, so, speccing your gun around tighter spreads for hip fire or tac stance help a lot. You will also be tasked with kills that require movement. Some of the boots and other perks grant you better strafing or moving bonus, so these are worth looking into for these challenges. When it comes to longshots, SMGs are pretty poor at longer rang recoil control. We recommend tapping then spraying someone at above 30 meter ranges to ensure an easier time with those types of challenges. Good areas include Sub Base longer angles, as are places like Underpass.

The Borealis Camo Challenge on the Rival-9.

SMG BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Golden Enigma Zircon Scale Serpentine Borealis
Striker 250 Kills 30 Hellhound Kills 250 Kills at Rare or above Rarity 250 Kills w/ Full Attachments 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack a PunchKills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
WSP Swarm 250 Kills 250 Point Blank Kills 5 Mimic Kills 250 Kills in medium or above Threat Zone 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack a Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
AMR9 250 Kills 250 Kills w/ Frost Damage 10x - 20 Consecutive Kills w/out taking damage 250 Kills with Full Attachments 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack a Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
WSP-9 250 Kills 100 Kills in a Single Match 250 Kills w/ Fire Damage Get 10 Kills in 5 seconds 10 times 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack a Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Rival-9 250 Kills 5 Mimic Kills 100 Kills shortly after using Field Upgrade 250 Kills w/ Toxic Damage 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack a Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Striker-9 250 Kills 250 Hipfire Kills 250 Kills w/ Toxic Damage 250 Kills w/ Tac Stance 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack a Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked

Again, zombie type challenges are fairly simple tasks. The only struggles you may have is with the Toxic damage or other elemental type changes. These typically require mods to your weapon acquired via rewards that add weapon damage modifications. Toxic and Frost are notable examples.

All Battle Rifle Camo Challenges in MW3

Using Optics silencers and being as accurate as possible is the name of the game with BR camo challenges.

Battle Rifle BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Gilded Forged Priceless Interstellar
BAS-B 50 Kills 50 Full Auto Kills 10 Kills with a Magnification Scope 15 Headshot Kills Get Three Kills with One Magazine 10 times. 10 Multikills. 25 Suppressed Clean Kills Complete all other weapon challenges.
Sidewinder 50 Kills 50 Full Auto Kills 10 Kills with a Magnification Scope 15 Headshot Kills Get Three Kills with One Magazine 10 times. 25 Oneshot Kills 25 Longshot Kills Complete all other weapon challenges.
MTZ-762 50 Kills 50 Full Auto Kills 10 Kills with a Magnification Scope 15 Headshot Kills Get Three Kills with One Magazine 10 times. 25 ADS and Fully Loaded Kills 15 Semi-Auto headshot kills with a Magnification Scope. Complete all other weapon challenges.

Battle Rifle challenges typically require loadout configurations designed to put you into a longer range anchor type role. You’ll find you need clean kills, optic kills, or silenced kills. Clean Kills simply are kills were you land everything and get the kill. So, build your gun for silenced, recoil and gun kick (don’t forget the sight) and watch as the majority of your challenges are easily completed.

These heavy-hitting and accurate weapons are easy zombie slayers.

Weapon BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Golden Enigma Zircon Scale Serpentine Borealis
BAS-B 250 Kills 250 Kills in Medium or above Threat Zone 250 Kills w/ Frost Damage 10x - 20 Consecutive Kills w/out taking damage 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Sidewinder 250 Kills 10 Mangler Kills 200 Critical Kills 250 Point Blank Kills 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
MTZ-762 250 Kills 250 Kills at Rare or above Rarity 50 Mercenary Kills 100 Kills shortly after using Field Upgrade 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked

Again, zombie challenges are fairly simple. The ones you get stuck on are rarity, which are threat zone related. You want your gun to become blue quality, which means upgrades via reward from contract, or from blue wallbuys. The other can be things like the Mangler, a type of special zombie often found in contracts in early areas locations, such as the escort type missions. Another dangerous one is point blank kills. You’re likely best doing this wit Juggernaut acquired, and getting them during extraction areas in lower threat areas. These send lots of low tier zombies at you, which you can easily kite and farm at a very close range and low risk area. You can also use the monkey bomb and get up close while they are all distracted.

All Marksman Rifle Camo Challenges in MW3

The multiplayer grind for Marksman Rifles can net you with a weapon that looks like this.

Marksman Rifle BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Gilded Forged Priceless Interstellar
KVD Enforcer 50 Kills 50 Headshot Kills 10 Kills with No Attachments Get two kills without dying 15 times. 10 Kills using a Lazer. 25 One-Shot One-Kills. 25 Kills using Extreme Magnification Optics Complete all other weapon challenges.
MCW 6.8 50 Kills 50 Headshot Kills 10 Kills with No Attachments Get two kills without dying 15 times. 10 Kills using a Lazer. Get 3 kills in One Magazine 15 times. 15 Suppressed Clean Kills. Complete all other weapon challenges.
DM56 50 Kills 50 Headshot Kills 10 Kills with No Attachments Get two kills without dying 15 times. 10 Kills using a Lazer. Get 25 kills while using Tac-Stance. 15 Headshots using Iron Sights. Complete all other weapon challenges.
MTZ Interceptor 50 Kills 50 Headshot Kills 10 Kills with No Attachments Get two kills without dying 15 times. 10 Kills using a Lazer. Get Three Kills without dying 10 times. Get Five Kills without Dying 10 times. Complete all other weapon challenges.

Marksman Rifles are similar to BRs, requiring some modifications to the loadout to get your scope, suppressed and other non attachment type kills. Some of the challenges you may face however are are the headshots with no scope. You likely want to do this in closer range angles where heads are bigger, but one where you have advantage. You’ll find MM rifles will one shot headshot fairly easy, so it’s a matter of getting a favorable angle and holding it. If you need help with one shots, go hardcore as you will get decent multiplier for one hit kills on that mode. As for the one magazine challenges, you can typically find 20 round mags through Armory unlocks or via weapon leveling unlocks.

Those who master the Marksman Rifles in Zombies can get the Borealis skin, which will look somewhat like this.

Weapon BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Golden Enigma Zircon Scale Serpentine Borealis
KVD Enforcer 250 Kills 10 Disciple Kills Get 10 Kills in 5s 10 Times. 250 Kills in Medium or above Threat Zone 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
MCW 6,8 250 Kills 100 Kills affected by your Tactical 250 Kills at Rare or higher Rarity 200 Critical Kills 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
DM56 250 Kills 250 Kills w/ Full Attachments 10 Mangler Kills 250 Kills with Tac Stance 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
MTZ Interceptor 250 Kills 100 Kills shortly after using Field Upgrade 30 Hellhound Kills 250 Kills at Rare or higher Rarity 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked

The MM rifle challenges in Zombies is nothing unique that we haven’t already seen before. Remember to look for relevant damage modifiers for either Toxic or Frost. Look for Manglers and land killing blows, and use tac stance on the larger hordes to make it much easier to get those types of kills, especially around extract zone farms in lower threat areas to ensure you actually get the tac stance kills.

All LMG Camo Challenges in MW3

An example of the Interstellar Camo on an LMG.

LMG BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Gilded Forged Priceless Interstellar
Puleymot 762 50 Kills 10 Penetration Kills 10 Kills with full Attachments. 10 Double Kills Get two kills while holding the trigger 10 times. 25 kills with a Magnification Scope. Get 5 kills in One Magazine 10 times. Complete all other weapon challenges.
DG-58 LSW 50 Kills 10 Penetration Kills 10 Kills with full Attachments. 10 Double Kills Get two kills while holding the trigger 10 times. Get 25 kills while using ADS and moving 25 Hipfire kills while strafing. Complete all other weapon challenges.
Holger 26 50 Kills 10 Penetration Kills 10 Kills with full Attachments. 10 Double Kills Get two kills while holding the trigger 10 times. Get 25 Kills while ADS and Strafing 25 Hipfire kills while strafing. Complete all other weapon challenges.
Bruen MK9 50 Kills 10 Penetration Kills 10 Kills with full Attachments. 10 Double Kills Get two kills while holding the trigger 10 times. 25 Suppressed Headshot Kills. Get 3 Kills with One Magazine 10 Times. Complete all other weapon challenges.

The vast majority of the LMG challenges are fairly similar. The biggest problems are the double kills while holding the trigger. Doing this can be tedious for many, with the need to get areas where enemies funnel .Look for capture game modes like Hardpoint or Headquarters and over-watch an area with your mag and then unleash hell when you know multiple enemies are on their way. Hipfire kills are another problem, with the accuracy being rather poor. Tac Stance could be a decent idea and increase the spread. Alternatively, hold tighter areas like indoor location and hipfire doorways and such. Penetration kills are another tough one, however, some areas on Highrise chain link fences count as pen kills, as do the thin wooden cover areas around the Underpass.

A look at the MW3 Camo Challenge zombies grinD reward on the Puleymot.

Weapon BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Golden Enigma Zircon Scale Serpentine Borealis
Pulemyot 762 250 Kills 100 Kills in a single Match 250 Kills at Rare or higher Rarity 5 Mimic Kills 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
DG-58 LSW 250 Kills 250 Kills w/ Tac Stance 250 Kills at Rare or higher Rarity 200 Critical Kills 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Holger 26 250 Kills 10x - 10 Kills w/out Reloading 10x - 10 Kills in 5s 10 Disciple Kills 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Bruen MK9 250 Kills 250 Kills at Rare or higher Rarity 250 Kills w/ 4 Perks 250 Kills with Fire Damage 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked

The zombies mode for the LMGs are fairly satisfying, as LMGS are very effective at mowing down specials and hordes alike. You shouldn’t have too much trouble getting the challenges. But again, Tac Stance should be done with lower tier zombies around extract locations, or around Monkey Bombs to make it easy to land rounds into large clumps. Fire Damage is another weapon damage improvement for contracts so be prepared to farm those.

All Shotgun Camo Challenges in MW3

Showcasing this skin reveals you are a veteran of close-angle carnage on Rust.

Shotgun BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Gilded Forged Priceless Interstellar
Lockwood 680 50 Kills 50 Hipfire Kills 10 ADS Kills 15 Double Kills Get 2 Kills shortly after Sprinting in One life. 25 One Shot Kills while ADS. Five Hipfire Kills while Moving. Complete all other weapon challenges.
Haymaker 50 Kills 50 Hipfire Kills 10 ADS Kills 15 Double Kills Get 2 Kills shortly after Sprinting in One life. Get 3 Hipfire Kills with One Magazine 15 times. 10 Double Kills While Tac-Stance. Complete all other weapon challenges.
Riveter 50 Kills 50 Hipfire Kills 10 ADS Kills 15 Double Kills Get 2 Kills shortly after Sprinting in One life. 25 Multikills Kill Five enemies in a single life Five times. Complete 36 Priceless Challenges and all challenges for a specific weapon.

Shotguns in MW3 multiplayer are very simple challenges for shotguns. Most of them are variations of how shotguns kill people anyway. Either strafe and shoot if you have that, or hold a tight angle in ADS and one shot someone that way. The sprinting challenge will likely require you to run head first into sites or into teams, Cutthroat or Hardpoint type modes can be good for getting those done. Meanwhile, some maps tend to have congregations of player, such as the stairs around the Skidrow near the tunnel, or some of the stairways in Underpass and the bunker in Wasteland being good examples.

Imagine the anger of using this skin on a shotgun against someone in multiplayer.

Weapon BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Golden Enigma Zircon Scale Serpentine Borealis
Lockwood 680 250 Kills 250 Hipfire Kills 250 Kills w/ Electric Damage 10x - 20 Consecutive Kills w/out taking damage 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Haymayker 250 Kills 250 Kills w/ 4 Perks 250 Kills in Medium or above Threat Zone 10x - 10 Kills in 5s 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Riveter 250 Kills 10x - 10 Kills in 5s 250 Kills w/ Fire Damage 10 Mangler Kills 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked

The hardest part about shotgun challenges in zombies is highly likely the Elites or Special kills. Elites can give you hard time with their heavy armor and plates. You’re likely best getting them low and then pushing them with a shotgun and secure the kill that way. Other than that be vigilant for the weapon damage type you need and grabbing it when you can.

All Sniper Camo Challenges in MW3

If you want this camo, chances are you’re heading to Ground War for some of the Focused kills you will need to rack up.

Sniper Rifle BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Gilded Forged Priceless Interstellar
KATT-AMR 50 Kills 50 Kills shortly after ADS Get 3 Kills with One Magazine 10 times. Get 15 One-Shot One-Kills Get 10 Kills While using Focus Down Sights. 15 Penetration Kills 3 Suppressed headshot Kills Complete 36 Priceless Challenges and all challenges for a specific weapon.
Longbow 50 Kills 50 Kills shortly after ADS Get 3 Kills with One Magazine 10 times. Get 15 One-Shot One-Kills Get 10 Kills While using Focus Down Sights. 25 Kills while ADS and Fully Loaded. Kill 5 enemies in a single life three times. Complete 36 Priceless Challenges and all challenges for a specific weapon.
KV Inhibitor 50 Kills 50 Kills shortly after ADS Get 3 Kills with One Magazine 10 times. Get 15 One-Shot One-Kills Get 10 Kills While using Focus Down Sights. 25 Headshot Kills Five Headshots while Moving Complete 36 Priceless Challenges and all challenges for a specific weapon.

Snipers in MW3 are very good in multiplayer. You’ll find the mobile snipers like Longbow are great for playing any map and going for snipe kills with smaller optics. If you need headshots while moving, the red dot or holographic type scope makes it easier to track heads in multiplayer. Alternatively, get the long angles in War and other modes like that for better Focused type kills.

Ascend the Ziplines and pick off zombies to make this camo challenge much easier to achieve.

Weapon BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Golden Enigma Zircon Scale Serpentine Borealis
KATT-AMR 250 Kills 200 Critical Kills 250 Kills at Rare or higher Rarity 250 Kills w/ Frost Damage 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Longbow 250 Kills 250 Kills w/ Fire Damage 250 Kills at Rare or higher Rarity 200 Critical Kills 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
KV Inhibitor 250 Kills 5 Mimic Kills 250 Kills w/ Fire Damage 30x - 3 Kills on One Shot 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked

Sniper Rifles have a unique type of challenge in that you need line up kills several times. Thankfully, this is not too hard, with the zombies easily kiteable into large packs or line ups. Make sure to line up enemies safely, turn around, and shoot as many as you can in a round to do this challenge repeatedly. The other thing that you need to monitor is headshots, since you need critical kills. Again, it’s not too hard a challenge if you can perch up and track enemies well enough. Most zombie movement is predictable so getting the line ups should become a rhythm at some point.

All Pistol Camo Challenges in MW3

Completing the challenges without being damaged is likely an arduous task with the increased TTK in multiplayer. But we believe in you.

Pistol BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Gilded Forged Priceless Interstellar
COR-45 50 Kills 50 ADS Kills 10 Kills while Moving 15 Akimbo Kills 10 kills without the enemy damaging you. 15 Kills on Injured Enemies. 10 Headshot Kills Complete 36 Priceless Challenges and all challenges for a specific weapon.
Renetti 50 Kills 50 ADS Kills 10 Kills while Moving 15 Akimbo Kills 10 kills without the enemy damaging you. 25 Longshot Kills 25 Headshot Kills Complete 36 Priceless Challenges and all challenges for a specific weapon.
Tyr 50 Kills 50 ADS Kills 10 Kills while Moving 15 Akimbo Kills 10 kills without the enemy damaging you. 25 One Shot One Kills. 25 Kills with a Magnification Scope Complete 36 Priceless Challenges and all challenges for a specific weapon.
WSP Stinger 50 Kills 50 ADS Kills 10 Kills while Moving 15 Akimbo Kills 10 kills without the enemy damaging you. Get Three Kills without Dying 10 times. Get 5 Kills without Dying 10 times Complete 36 Priceless Challenges and all challenges for a specific weapon.

Pistols tend to have similar challenges across all the weapons. Kills, ADS Kills, kill while moving and akimbo are essentially similar process, albeit slight twists to the playstyle. The challenges come with getting kills without being damaged. The best bit of this challenge is to use Deployable shield on harder to get cover maps, or use cover and ping about, making it harder for enemies to track your movement while you maintain advantages in more open areas that you can trap enemies.

Pistols are one-shot headshot machines in low-threat areas. You’ll likely find pistols not too much of a challenge in zombies.

Weapon BC 1 BC 2 BC 3 BC 4 Golden Enigma Zircon Scale Serpentine Borealis
COR-45 250 Kills 250 Kills w/ Fire Damage 250 Kills w/ 4 Perks 250 Kills with Full Attachments 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Renetti 250 Kills 10 Disciple Kills 250 Point Blank Kills 250 Kills with 4 Perks 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Tyr 250 Kills 250 Kills with Frost Damage 30 Hellhound Kills Get 10 Kills in 5s 10 Times. 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
WSP Stinger 250 Kills 250 Kills w/ Electric Damage 250 Hipfire Kills 250 Kills with Full Attachments 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked

Like shotguns, pistols may have a slightly harder time when it gets to the Serpentine camo challenges. The kill requirement of elites and specials are ones you are going to need to get specific enemies low, and then finish them off with your sidearm. Other than that grab perks, damage modifiers, and and kite for the easiest time of for the remaining challenges.

All Launcher and Melee Camo Challenges in MW3

(1 of 2) Direct Impacts might be hard to do, but there are many thin angles on lots of maps you can camp and thump them.

Direct Impacts might be hard to do, but there are many thin angles on lots of maps you can camp and thump them. (left), This grenade launcher is a nice weapon for zombies, with its large AOE kills in easier areas or horde staggering potential in higher threat areas. (right)

Weapon Base Camo Gilded Forged Priceless Interstellar
BGL-80 25 Kills 10 Direct Impact Kills 25 Enemy Equipment Destroyed 25 Double Kills Complete 36 Priceless Challenges and all challenges for a specific weapon.
Gutter Knife 50 Kills Kill 10 Enemies affected by your Tactical. Kill Five Enemies in a single life five times. 15 Revenge Kills Complete 36 Priceless Challenges and all challenges for a specific weapon.
Karambit 50 Kills Kill 10 Enemies affected by your Tactical. 20 Kills without an enemy damaging you. 10 Kills from behind Complete 36 Priceless Challenges and all challenges for a specific weapon.
:::

The BGL has a somewhat harder time for most challenges. The challenge you get is to get direct impact kills, which is troublesome. You’re likely going to have to get into awkward spots and hold angles and bonk someone when they run around the corner straight into your muzzle. The kill five enemies without dying is another hard one, and likely one you’re going to need to noobtube in hardcore to flush sites or campers out with ease, especially with the heavy use of EOD specialist perks nerfing your explosive damage. Revenge Kills is another one where you are going to have to track who killed you and try and return fire back on them with the gun. This is more random than any other strategy you can use to solve it.

As for melee weapons, stun grenade is your best friend. Being able to stun a target and then stab them will get you both the tactical and the kill enemies without being damaged. Feel free to Overkill Riot Shield for some added protection to your back to improve your chances of getting the kills without them damaging you.

Weapon BC 1 Golden Enigma Zircon Scale Serpentine Borealis
RGL-80 250 Kills 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Gutter Knife 250 Kills 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked
Karambit 250 Kills 100 Kills and Extract 300 Pack-A-Punch Kills 10 Special or Elite Kills All Camos Unlocked

Lastly, we have the zombies mode. Again getting the kills on special and elites with the melee weapons will be very hard. Get them as low as possible, farm low threat areas, and wield Juggernaut to make it an easier experience to grind. The RG, however, is very easy to complete thanks to its horde clearing and higher damage powerhouse it brings.
