With the game’s launch now imminent, hype forCall of Duty: Vanguardis at an all-time high. Several details have been revealed about the game in recent weeks, and now a leaker has given fans a look at one of the mastery camos fromCall of Duty: Vanguard.
WhileCall of Duty: Black Ops 2got the ball rolling with Diamond, which is unlocked by getting gold camo for every weapon in a specific class,Call of Duty: Black Ops 3took things to a new level. The first game to introduceDark Matter, a camo unlocked by getting Diamond for every weapon class, fans of the series had a whole new item to grind for. Since it was first added, there has always been some version of Dark Matter as a final camo unlock, andCall of Duty: Vanguardmay be no different.

Reputable leaker @TheGhostOfMW posted two photos of one of the new mastery camos, with the item placed onCall of Duty: Vanguard’s StG 44. The Assault Rifle looks incredible with the over-the-top camo design, which gives it a fiery red look. It certainly looks as if the camo will be animated, moving around regularly as the weapon is fired. As pointed out in some of the comments, it is very reminiscent of Dark Aether fromCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarZombies.
Assuming that this is a new variant of theDark Aether camo, it would imply that there will once again be separate mastery camos for Zombies and multiplayer. InCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Zombies fans could unlock Golden Viper, Plague Diamond, and the purple Dark Aether camo. This differed from multiplayer’s standard Gold, Diamond, and Dark Matter Ultra options. While it would be exciting if there were special camo grinds in both Zombies and multiplayer, this is purely speculation, as this could just be a multiplayer mastery camo.
While this camo certainly looks great, it is important to keep in mind that there will likely be a few mastery camos that are unlocked before it. With Sledgehammer clearly not afraid to go over-the-top with this year’s cosmetics, players could see the classic Gold and Diamond camos making a comeback. It would also be nice to see ChromefromCall of Duty: WW2return, which was that game’s version of Dark Matter. Still, all players know for sure is that this red, Dark Aether-looking camo will be included.
WithCall of Duty: Vanguardfeaturing Operator levels alongside weapon and account levels, as well as challenges to complete, there will be plenty of things forCall of Dutyfansto grind for. With this leaked camo standing out so much, many will likely be putting in the work to unlock it.
