The Call of Duty community is excited, and the Zombies Camo Challenge in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is a huge part of that. Zombies mode is trending and trying to tackle tough challenges and unlock some seriously cool weapon camos. It’s trending big time because it combines a real test of skill with rewards that make you stand out in-game. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just getting into Call of Duty Black Ops 6, this challenge is something you’ll want to know about. Here’s the full scoop on what it is, how it works, and why everyone’s talking about it.
How the Zombies Camo Challenge Works
In Call of Duty Black Ops 6, the Zombies Camo Challenge is split into three tiers: Military, Special, and Mastery camos. Each weapon has nine Military camos you can unlock by completing tasks like “10 Rapid Kills” or “30 Special Zombie Eliminations,” as detailed by Dot Esports. After that, there are two Special camos per weapon, each with its own unique objectives. The real gems, though, are the Mastery camo, like Mystic Gold and Nebula, which you earn by finishing all the prior challenges for a weapon, according to the Call of Duty blog. To make things easier, a Camo Hub is set to roll out soon after launch, letting you track your progress in one spot Windows Central has more on that.

Tips for Completing the Zombies Camo Challenge
Jumping into the Zombies Camo Challenge can feel overwhelming, but a few pointers can help you grind smarter. Start by picking one weapon and sticking with it, bouncing between guns just slows you down. For Military camos, tasks like “10 Rapid Kills” are a breeze in the early rounds when zombies aren’t sprinting yet. Special camos often involve targeting specific zombie types, so watch for those tougher enemies and pack the right gear. Mastery camos? They’re a marathon, not a sprint so pace yourself, and don’t burn out.
Why Players Are Talking About It
This challenge is blowing up because it’s the perfect mix of brutal and brag-worthy. There’s nothing like flexing a rare camo you’ve earned through hours of zombie-slaying. That said, it’s not all smooth sailing, some players have run into glitches, like the Jade camo not tracking properly for the Kilo 141. Over on Reddit, folks suggest swapping attachments to fix it, while X is full of players posting their Mystic Gold unlocks, saying the grind pays off. Season 2 promises fixes like improved tracking and a co-op pause feature, per Destructoid, so there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
Community Reactions and Strategies
The Call of Duty Black Ops 6 community is all over this challenge, and social media’s lighting up with chatter. On Reddit, one player raved, “Nebula camo is nuts, took me three days straight, but it’s a total flex.” Others are teaming up for co-op runs. Smart players are sharing tricks, like camping in tight map corners for rapid kills or using specific perks to take down special zombies faster. Some swear by certain maps for racking up kills efficiently.
Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them
Let’s be real: the Zombies Camo Challenge isn’t a walk in the park. Beyond bugs like the Jade camo glitch, players often struggle with the sheer volume of kills needed, especially for Mastery camos. Special zombie eliminations can be a pain too, since those enemies don’t spawn every round. To beat these hurdles, try playing on higher rounds where special zombies pop up more often, and use weapons with high ammo capacity to keep the kills flowing. If tracking issues persist, double-check your progress after each match and report bugs via the official Call of Duty blog support channels. Patience and persistence are your best friends here.
What’s Next for Zombies in Black Ops 6?
The Zombies Camo Challenge is just the beginning for Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Zombies fans. Season 2 is shaping up to be a game-changer, with the Camo Hub for progress tracking and quality-of-life tweaks like co-op pausing. New maps and modes might drop too, bringing fresh challenges to keep the grind alive.
Conclusion: Is the Zombies Camo Challenge Worth Your Time?
The Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Zombies Camo Challenge has taken the gaming world by storm, and for good reason. It’s a tough, rewarding journey that lets you earn standout camos, sharpen your skills, and connect with a fired-up community. Sure, there are bumps, like glitches and grind heavy tasks, but with updates like the Camo Hub and Season fixes on the horizon, it’s only getting better. Whether you’re chasing Mystic Gold for the bragging rights or just want to dive into the hype, this challenge is a must-try for any Call of Duty fan.

Destiny 2 Desert Perpetual Raid Guide – Iatros Inward Turned
The Desert Perpetual changed the mold for raids in Destiny 2 to kick off the Fate saga. From non-linear encounters to having only boss fights, the new raid brings an entirely different dynamic. The raid delivered on so many facets, and if you get the chance, take on the challenge of completing the raid. This guide will focus on the Living Rhythm encounter (The Wyvern boss). Destiny 2 Desert Perpetual Opening Usually, Destiny 2 raids follow the same pattern. You travel from encounter to encounter. The only raid that has broken this in the past is Leviathan, which randomly selected the starting encounter. For Desert Perpetual, you can choose one of three encounters to start from. You must complete all three encounters before progressing to the final encounter. In all three, you fight against different bosses: Iatros Inward Turned – Wyvern Agraois Inherent – Hobgoblin Epoptes Lord of Quanta – Hydra How to Choose the Living Rhythm Encounter When you enter the raid, cross the bridge to a circular platform. Turn to the left to find a lift for another platform. Now you will see four plates in front of you. Choose the right plate (“Axion is axiom”) to head to the Living Rythym Encounter. Iatros Inward Turned – Living Rhythm The Living Rhythm encounter has a few moving parts to it. The mechanics have a low execution requirement, but timing is vital. Aspects to note about this encounter: Three platforms Red Blue White Chronons Red Blue White Cube Columns Time Burden Minatours Drop Chronons Platforming Hourglass with a Portal Wipe Timer Wyvern boss phase These seem confusing at first, but once they all come together, it will make sense. When the encounter starts, Time’s Burden Minatours spawn. Killing these drops, Chronons, with one of the three aforementioned colors. The color matches that of the Portal. Pick up the Chronons and run through the Portal. It fills up the Hourglass, allowing you to progress the encounter. Once you have filled the Hourglass, a diamond cube spawns underneath it. Shoot it to begin the next phase. The Hourglass drains over time, including during damage, so have two players focused on killing Minatours and depositing Chronons. A Vex Lattice spawns on one of the three plates. You can tell which one it will be based on the Chronon’s color. Red – Lowest platform Blue – Middle platform White – Top platform One player must run to the Lattice to acquire the Absolute Temporality. At the same time, each player gets a Diastole buff. It ticks four times with an audio cue, and after players are launched into the air. Three players should have an assigned cube column. As Diastole ticks to four, shoot one cube, starting from the bottom and moving up. Each time you break the three cubes on time, structures spawn for the Absolute Temporality player. They must ascend to acquire a Vex module. Cube players must wait until the player has obtained the module before shooting the next one. Repeat the process until the ascending player has the third module. The damage phase will start. The boss’s path depends on the Chronos colour. Red – Red platform to Blue platform Blue – Blue platform to White platform White – White platform to Blue platform Repeat until the boss dies.
Blue Jays' hot streak has them in rare territory
The Toronto Blue Jays won again on Friday, defeating the Detroit Tigers by a 6-2 margin to extend their American League East lead and take over the best record in Major League Baseball. All of this is relatively uncharted territory for Blue Jays fans of a certain age — and the franchise itself. With Friday's win, this is the latest in a season that Toronto has owned baseball's best record since 1992 (when they went on to win the World Series). Their five-game lead in the division is also the biggest divisional lead they have had this late in the season since 1992. The Blue Jays continue to write a pretty incredible story for themselves this season. They did not have overly high expectations when the season began and were dealing with a contract negotiation with their top star — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — who seemed destined to play out the season before hitting free agency. It's amazing how much has changed, and how rapidly it has changed, over the past couple of months. Not only did the Blue Jays get Guerrero Jr. signed to a long-term deal when it seemed like they had missed their opportunity, but they also overcame a mediocre start that had them hovering around the .500 mark through the end of May. Since June 1, the Blue Jays have gone on a 32-14 run, and they're 20-5 over their past 25 games. It has not only put them right in the thick of the American League playoff race, but it has put them in the driver's seat for a highly competitive American League East crown,
Dustin Rhodes Assigns Blame After Hulk Hogan’s Death
Following the shocking news of Hulk Hogan’s passing, wrestling legend Dustin Rhodes, known to millions as Goldust in WWE, took to social media to share a deeply personal and provocative reaction: “Hospitals truly kill people. I really do mean that.” Rhodes’ blunt statement stunned many fans, but those who know his story saw the pain behind the words. His father, the iconic Dusty Rhodes, passed away in 2015, aged 69, after a fall at home led to hospitalization for kidney failure. After his father's passing, Dustin shared a contemplative response on WWE's YouTube channel to discuss the legacy his father left behind. The news of Hogan's death comes just a month after reports suggested he was on his "deathbed" after undergoing a neck procedure back in May. Hogan's reps denied that was the case. In June, US Weekly reported that Hogan had also undergone a "pretty serious heart surgery and was doing well afterward." Dustin’s connection to his brother Cody Rhodes, now a top WWE superstar and face of the company’s next generation, is unbreakable. The Rhodes family legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of pro wrestling history, and seeing another legend like Hogan pass has clearly hit close to home. While Goldust and Hulk Hogan never had a headline-grabbing rivalry, they did share the ring once. It occurred in WCW in 2000 when Dustin Rhodes matched up against Hogan. Although their paths didn’t often cross in the squared circle, Hogan and the Rhodes family were part of the same larger-than-life era that helped define pro wrestling for decades and catapult the sport into society's zeitgeist. Rhodes’ comment about hospitals might not sit well with everyone, but it speaks to a raw and honest pain felt by someone who has seen too many legends, both personal and professional, fade away in similar fashion. The sport of wrestling has endured more than its fair share of lives cut short. As tributes continue to pour in for Hogan, Rhodes’ reaction serves as a powerful, if somber, reminder of the real human emotions behind the wrestling personas.
Everything That Happened at Practice 3 of Packers Training Camp
As he headed back to his office after the third practice of Green Bay Packers training camp, coach Matt LaFleur probably wasn’t very happy. With new starting center Elgton Jenkins missing practice, shotgun snaps were sometimes an adventure – though not to the extent of Thursday’s practice. There were too many turnovers. And there was too much contact for a noncontact practice. First, the contact. Cornerback Nate Hobbs was the primary culprit. Early in practice, Hobbs knocked receiver Dontayvion Wicks to the ground after a catch. Later, Wicks was open over the middle but was hit in the back by Hobbs, which forced an incompletion but earned Hobbs a conversation with LaFleur. “It happened twice today, but it’s all good,” Wicks said. “We’re football players at the end of the day. We’re going to have to take some hits but it’s cool. I’m good. … “Coach always stresses team first, so he always talks about keeping each other up. That’s the main thing in practice, especially with no pads on. But some stuff happened. It happens. I’ve just got to control emotions and go onto the next play.” For the most part, the offense played relatively clean football during the first two practices. However, on Friday: - Running back Josh Jacobs ran for a first down but had the ball punched out; it appeared Hobbs forced the fumble. Receiver Romeo Doubs was there for the recovery. - On the first play of a 2-minute drill, Malik Willis telegraphed a pass into the flat, which Kalen King almost intercepted. - One play later, Willis was intercepted, though that was due to incidental contact between receiver Julian Hicks and cornerback Carrington Valentine in which Hicks hit the turf and Valentine grabbed the pass. - On the second play of a 2-minute drill, Jordan Love’s pass into the flat was almost intercepted by Xavier McKinney. - On third down in the red zone of a 2-minute drill, with the offense only needing a field goal, Sean Clifford was almost intercepted in the end zone by cornerback Tyron Herring. - During a third-down period, Tucker Kraft caught a pass, split two defenders and picked up the first down, but Javon Bullard forced a fumble that was recovered by McKinney. - During the same third-down period, Willis threw one right to safety Zayne Anderson for an interception on the second-to-last play of the day. Physical mistakes will happen. The hits in a no-pads practice perhaps bothered LaFleur more than anything. As he said before the first practice, “When you don’t have pads on, I told the guys, if we lose one person, that hurts our football team. So, they’ve got to respect each other enough to be able to compete but within the guidelines of how you play football without pads. So, I think that’s always the challenge.” Jordan Love’s Day For a third consecutive day, Jordan Love’s completion percentage was significantly over 50 percent. On Friday, he was 12-of-17. The first two plays of the day showed the full arsenal. First, on play action, he rifled one to the left to Dontayvion Wicks for a gain of about 20. Next, he showed finesse and touch by dropping one over the linebackers to Romeo Doubs, who made a leaping catch for a gain of about 15. Love and the No. 1 offense got two shots in starters vs. starters 2-minute drills. On the first, Xavier McKinney almost made a tremendous interception when he jumped a pass to the flat to Tucker Kraft on second down and Love couldn’t run through the pressure of Kenny Clark and Lukas Van Ness for a sack. While that drive stalled, his second drive found the end zone. Starting once again from the 35 with 1:20 on the clock and one timeout, Love on third-and-5 connected with Kraft in the flat. McKinney quickly made the stop and the ball was initially ruled short of the first down before Kraft was credited for a 5-yard catch. After a checkdown to Emanuel Wilson gained 6, Keisean Nixon was beaten by a step but recovered to break up an underthrown deep shot to Romeo Doubs. That set up a third-and-4 from the defense’s 49 and set the stage for the next segment in the story. Play of the Day: Touchdown to Dontayvion Wicks Jordan Love took the snap and took a couple steps to his left before firing a bomb to Dontayvion Wicks, who was running deep and to the right. With Xavier McKinney the closest defender, Wicks caught the ball near the goal line for a 49-yard touchdown. “We had to get down the field to win the competition,” Wicks said. “We called a play and I knew I had the post. I had a man on me. I released, ran full speed. I knew X was over the top, so I stemmed out a little bit and broke flat across. It was a runaway and J-Love gave me the ball, and I ran under it and that was all from there.” It was the first big win of the summer for the No. 1 offense. “It’s a lot of competition out there, a lot of good guys to go against,” Wicks said. “They always say iron sharpens iron, so going against them guys out there makes it easier for when you get in the game and going against some of the top players in the league. It gives you confidence. “It’s a real confidence boost doing it in practice and preparing for the games. We ain’t got a game till five weeks from here. We’re just trying to get better every day and stack the wins and stacking the chemistry. It’s always good to get some opportunities in practice and capitalizing on them. I think it gets you right and helps with that confidence and boosting that confidence for the games.” Player of the Day: Brandon McManus Kicker Brandon McManus turned 34 on Friday, and he celebrated with a superb display of field-goal kicking. The first 2-minute drive belonged to the No. 2s, which the defense won. The ball was moved forward to the defense’s 33-yard line for McManus to kick a 51-yard field goal, which he converted. After Jordan Love’s first 2-minute drive ended in a sack, the ball again was moved to the 33 for a 51-yard field goal. McManus kicked the ball and audibly reacted as if he had missed. The kick split the uprights, though. Next, Sean Clifford led the No. 3s into scoring position to set up McManus for a 33-yard field goal. After Jordan Love’s touchdown bomb to Wicks, McManus lined up for a 56-yard field goal. He made that one, too, with a few yards to spare. Next up was a field-goal period, with McManus converting from 40, 42 and 44 yards to run his training camp tally to 13-of-13. Packers Injury Updates New injuries: LG Aaron Banks (back), WR Savion Williams (concussion). “Just had a little back issue,” coach Matt LaFleur said of Banks. “Everything checked out all right. I would say it's going to be very day to day.” Old injuries: LB Quay Walker (ankle), receiver Christian Watson (knee), linebacker Collin Oliver (hamstring), running back Amar Johnson (hamstring) and offensive lineman John Williams (back) and center Elgton Jenkins (back). “My hopes are high, for sure,” Watson said. “Honestly, I’ve just been pushing as hard as I can and letting the training staff pull me back from doing stuff. But yeah, every time I’ve gotten to a new block, just getting through it really quick and feeling really good. I haven’t had any setbacks, so I’m just praying that continues.” Returning from injuries: Nobody. Packers Practice Highlights - On his first snap of the day, backup quarterback Malik Willis faked the handoff and ran to the right on a designed keeper. Picking up overpowering blocks by receiver Malik Heath and running back Chris Brooks, Heath sprinted to a significant gain. It will be interesting to see if the Packers have a package of plays for Willis. - On the next play, Willis completed a pass into the flat to Matthew Golden, though Brenton Cox might have had a sack in a live situation. - Speaking of Golden, a jet sweep didn’t go anywhere, due in part to Nate Hobbs’ work against the blockers, but an end-around did, as he took the handoff from Willis, turned on the jets and broke free up the left side. - Rookie seventh-round cornerback Micah Robinson had his first noteworthy play. Sean Clifford booted to his right and hit receiver Sam Brown, but Robinson was there instantly to limit the play to a minimal gain. - During the twos-vs.-twos 2-minute, Willis completed a pass to Mecole Hardman for 10 yards on the first play. After a 7-yard completion to Julian Hicks, Willis went deep to Hicks. Hicks might have gotten his feet tangled up with cornerback Carrington Valentine, who grabbed his second interception of the summer. - During the threes-vs.-threes 2-minute, Sean Clifford got the offense into scoring position. The big play came on the second snap, when Robinson was flagged for pass interference. The penalty was for 29 yards, which was where the ball landed and not where the penalty occurred. Regardless, completions to Cornelius Johnson and Sam Brown were stopped for short gains by Bo Melton and Jamon Johnson, respectively. On third-and-2, Clifford connected with Hicks for 8 yards and a first down to the 15 with 24 seconds remaining. The defense held, though. Clifford had to throw it away on first down and his deep corner route to tight end Ben Sims was caught just out of bounds. On third-and-10, rookie corner Tyron Herring dropped an interception in the end zone. Brandon McManus booted a 33-yard field goal. - Undrafted rookie safety Jonathan Baldwin had his first two noteworthy plays. Early in practice, he stopped a toss to running back Jalen White. Later, during a third-down period, he made a leaping pass breakup. - Keisean Nixon has had a superb start to camp. Romeo Doubs beat him for a sliding catch on a pass from Jordan Love; it was probably the only completion he’s allowed in three days. - For the second consecutive day, center Trey Hill was removed from the lineup for a moment because of a bad snap. - Practice ended with the offense facing second-and-11 (give or take) before a pre-scripted third-and-long. Love was 3-of-3 passing in this period. On third-and-9, Tucker Kraft took a short pass for a first down but Javon Bullard forced a fumble. Next, Love completed a checkdown to Josh Jacobs before hitting Kraft at the sideline on third-and-6 for the first down. Also in that period, Valentine broke up Malik Willis’ 50/50 ball to Matthew Golden on third-and-9, Baldwin broke up Sean Clifford’s pass to Hicks on third-and-8, Zayne Andeson dropped an interception on a pass to Golden on third-and-7 and Herring broke up Taylor Elgersma’s pass to Sam Brown on third-and-7. Added together, the defense won 5-of-6. Packers Lineup Notes - With Elgton Jenkins and Aaron Banks dealing with back injuries, Green Bay’s No. 1 line consisted of Rasheed Walker at left tackle, Jordan Morgan at left guard, Sean Rhyan at center, Jacob Monk at right guard and Zach Tom at right tackle. Monk played some center; Rhyan played some right guard. - The No. 2 line frequently was Anthony Belton at left tackle, Donovan Jennings at left guard, Trey Hill at center, Travis Glover at right guard and Kadeem Telfort at right tackle. - Through three days, the preferred secondary remains Nate Hobbs and Keisean Nixon at cornerback, Javon Bullard in the slot, and Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams at safety. - Kalen King, a seventh-round pick last year who spent all of his rookie season on the practice squad, did get a bit of time with the No. 1 defense as the slot mixed in with Nixon, Hobbs, McKinney and Williams. - Sticking with the secondary, this frequently was the No. 2 group: Carrington Valentine and Kamal Hadden at corner, King in the slot, and Zayne Anderson and Kitan Oladapo at safety. Packers Training Camp Schedule After Tuesday’s workouts and three consecutive days of practice, the players will not practice on Saturday. The Packers will get back to work on Sunday and Monday, with both practices starting at 10:30 a.m. Monday’s practice will be in full pads. Quote of the Day Friday marked Mark Murphy’s final practice as team president and CEO. The moment practice ended, Murphy walked off the field, just as he’d done hundreds of times during his tenure. As he reached Armed Forces Drive, he was surrounded by fans saying thank you, good-bye and asking for autographs. What sticks out about Murphy to coach Matt LaFleur? “For me personally, just the opportunity, and the support that he's given us to allow us to do not only our job, but look at all the resources that the organization has invested back into this team. It's pretty incredible. I've never been a part of anything like this. I mean, the facilities are first class. I would say, how we travel, how we just conduct and operate on a daily basis, has been nothing short of first class.”
