Warzone Grind for Royalty: Gold Excellence and Gold Mosaic Camos

What Grind for Royalty is in Warzone

2Season 1 camos
10challenges for Gold Mosaic
25challenges for Gold Excellence
1,000XP per challenge

Grind for Royalty arrived with Warzone Season 1 on 6 November. The game menus call it Grinding for Royalty.

The system builds challenges out of your own stats. Each challenge you finish makes the next one harder.

  1. Play 1 match. Your 1st Battle Royale or Resurgence match unlocks your personal challenges.
  2. Open the Events tab. Grinding for Royalty lists your current targets there.
  3. Beat a target in a single match. Each finished challenge pays 1,000 XP.
  4. Reach 10, then 25. 10 challenges unlock Gold Mosaic, and 25 unlock Gold Excellence.

A PRO can unlock the Season 1 Classified Weapon camo or your Warzone Mastery camos on your account.

More Season 1 camos for your guns

Grind for Royalty runs on your own records. For other Season 1 camos and levels, a PRO plays on your account.

The 5 stat tracks and how the targets rise

Each stat has a track of its own. A challenge you finish on any track counts toward both camos.

TrackWhat you beat in 1 match
KillsYour kill target
DamageYour damage target
E/D ratioYour eliminations per death target
ContractsYour contracts target
PlacementYour finishing position target

Targets climb as you clear them. Each cleared challenge raises the next goal on that track, so the grind never runs out.

Kills, E/D ratio and damage are the easiest tracks to clear.

Which Warzone modes count for Royalty

Progress counts in Battle Royale and in Resurgence. Casual and regular playlists both count.

Limited-time modes add nothing to Grind for Royalty.

Season 1 runs Battle Royale on Hajin and Resurgence on Zodiac. Verdansk and Rebirth Island return during the season.

Resurgence Casuals on Zodiac is a quick place to farm kill and damage targets. The map itself is in our Warzone Zodiac guide.

MW4 services →Event camos, Mastery camos and weapon levels for Season 1. Our PROs play every order on your account.

Gold Mosaic and Gold Excellence: the Season 1 rewards

Season 1 pays 2 Royalty camos, both unlocked by finished challenges.

Gold Mosaic arrives at 10 finished challenges. Gold Excellence arrives at 25.

Both camos go on every Modern Warfare 4 weapon once unlocked.

The challenges reset when a new season starts. Each season brings a new pair of camos and new targets based on your past play.

More Warzone Season 1 rewards to chase

Royalty is 1 of several Season 1 grinds in Warzone.

  • Classified Weapon camo. A crate event holds a strong MW4 gun, and a hidden challenge with it unlocks its camo. The steps are in our Classified Weapon camo guide.
  • Warzone Mastery camos. Parallax, Damascus Reforged and Empyros progress in Warzone only. The last of the 3 has its own Empyros guide.
  • Weapon Augments. Season 1 also sells gun upgrades inside a match. Our Warzone Weapon Augments guide lists all 3.
