How to get Pyroclast camo in MW4
Pyroclast is the Weapon Prestige camo of Modern Warfare 4. It evolves through 4 stages while a single gun keeps levelling.
You start it by taking a gun to max level and choosing Weapon Prestige.
- Max the gun. Level it in Multiplayer or DMZ until its weapon level tops out.
- Enter Weapon Prestige 1. The gun drops to level 1, and Pyroclast unlocks right away.
- Climb to the top again. Max level inside Weapon Prestige 1 pays
Pyroclast Terminus. - Keep going in Weapon Prestige Master.
Pyroclast Scatter arrives at Master level 150. 
Pyroclast Cascade waits at Master level 250.
A PRO can level your gun through each Pyroclast stage on your account, from the level it has now.

All 4 Pyroclast camos and their levels
| Stage | Camo | Unlocks at |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pyroclast | Level 1 of Weapon Prestige 1 |

| 3 | Pyroclast Scatter | Weapon Prestige Master, level 150 |

Early showcases called the 2nd stage Pyroclast Verge. In the game it is Pyroclast Terminus.
Each stage belongs to the gun you prestiged. A 2nd gun starts its own Pyroclast run from stage 1.
What Weapon Prestige resets on the gun
Choosing Weapon Prestige sends that gun back to level 1.
Its regular attachments lock again until you earn them back. Apex attachments and blueprint attachments stay open.
Your camos, blueprints, reticles and other looks stay on the gun.
Other guns keep the shared attachments they already use.
From the top of Weapon Prestige 1, the gun moves into Weapon Prestige Master. Its level keeps climbing there toward Pyroclast Scatter and Pyroclast Cascade, with no 2nd reset.
How to level a gun through Weapon Prestige
Multiplayer and DMZ both give weapon XP to a prestiged gun.
Max levels differ from gun to gun. The Han 86 tops out at level 72.
Reaching Pyroclast Terminus means levelling that gun to its top 2 times. The 1st climb comes before the prestige. The 2nd comes inside Weapon Prestige 1.
