The Classified Weapon Camo is the reward of the Classified Weapon public event in Warzone.

Warzone Season 1 has run on Modern Warfare 4 since 6 November at midnight ET, which is 05:00 UTC.

Here is the route to the camo:

  1. Queue Battle Royale or Resurgence. The event runs in both modes.
  2. Watch for the Classified Weapon event. A single Classified Weapon Crate drops onto the map.
  3. Open the crate. It holds 1 of 4 weapons from the Modern Warfare 4 arsenal.
  4. Stay alive with it. The holder gets Specialist and a UAV that stays on.
  5. Complete the hidden challenge with that weapon. Its camo then unlocks for your other weapons.

A PRO plays these Warzone matches on your account until the camo shows as unlocked.

What the Classified Weapon event is in MW4 Warzone

Classified Weapon is a public event of Warzone. The Season 1 patch notes list it among the returning events.

It runs in Battle Royale and in Resurgence.

Season 1 plays Battle Royale on Hajin and Resurgence on Zodiac.

Later in Season 1, Verdansk and Rebirth Island come back to Warzone.

The crate holds 1 of 4 Modern Warfare 4 weapons. The patch notes say these guns outperform the others in their class.

The notes do not name the 4 weapons. They give no drop time or drop rate either.

The points of interest on the Resurgence map are in our Warzone Zodiac guide.

Carrying a Classified weapon: Specialist, UAV and your location

Whoever carries a Classified weapon gets Specialist.

The holder also gets a UAV effect that stays on while they carry the gun.

There is a cost. Enemies see the general location of the holder.

How to carry it well:

  • Keep your squad close. The lobby knows roughly where you are.
  • Read the UAV. Pick fights you can see coming.
  • Move after each fight. A holder who stays put gives the lobby time to close in.

The hidden challenge that unlocks the camo

The camo unlocks through a hidden challenge that you complete with the Classified weapon.

The Season 1 patch notes do not print its target.

Each Classified weapon has its own matching camo. Finish the challenge and that camo goes on your other weapons.

The Warzone mastery camos are a separate grind: Parallax, Damascus Reforged, then Empyros.

Their challenges and the gate before Parallax are in our Warzone Empyros camo guide.

How to get ready for the Classified Weapon event

Your own loadout matters in the fight for the crate.

Leveling routes for each gun are in our MW4 weapon leveling guide.

Another Season 1 event, with its Trophies and Gauntlet 1v1, is in our MW4 Wager Match Event guide.

How Warzone moved onto Modern Warfare 4 is in our Warzone integration guide.

Our PROs play the Classified Weapon event by hand on your account. You keep the camo and every unlock on the way.
