COD Black Ops 6: How to Easily Unlock Dark Matter Camo After Season 1 Reloaded Update

Grinding for the elusive Dark Matter camo in Black Ops 6 multiplayer is no joke. With every weapon demanding its own set of challenges, the road to mastery can feel like an uphill battle—especially when you hit the wall of tricky weapons like Launchers. But fear not! The Season 1 Reloaded update just made one of the most frustrating parts of the grind a whole lot smoother. Let’s dive into the changes and what they mean for your camo journey.

The Dark Matter Grind: A Test of Patience

Since Black Ops 6 launched back in November, players have been racing to unlock the ultimate flex, Dark Matter camo. While streamers and pros have already shown off their shiny guns, the average player is still slogging through it. Sure, ARs and SMGs are fun and relatively straightforward, but then come the oddball weapons like melee tools and Launchers.

The Launcher challenges, in particular, have been a nightmare for many, demanding precise timing and lots of luck. But thanks to the new update, that pain just got nerfed.

 

 

What Changed? Launcher Challenges Are Way Less Annoying

• Before the update, getting Gold and Dark Spine camos for Launchers like the CIGMA 2B and HE-1 required you to destroy 3-5 enemy Scorestreaks or vehicles in a single match. Sounds doable, right? Wrong.
• The Problem: Enemies didn’t always call in enough Scorestreaks or drive vehicles, leaving you staring at the sky, waiting for a UAV or chopper to make an appearance. Even when they did, hitting them was often tricky.

The Fix: Now, enemy Equipment and Field Upgrades count toward the challenge! This includes destroying common items like:

• Spring Mines
• Prox Alarms
• Spy Cams

With these additions, finding three or five targets in a single match is much more manageable. No more praying for enemies to rack up streaks—you can just blow up their gadgets instead.

 

 

Community Reaction: A Collective “Finally!”

The player base was quick to celebrate the change. Many flocked to Reddit to express their relief:
    •    “This might be my biggest W of 2024, tbh.”
    •    “Finally, I don’t have to spend 10 hours chasing UAVs with the HE-1. Huge dub.”

It’s not just about convenience; this update makes the grind less reliant on luck, putting more control in the players’ hands.

What’s Next for the Camo Grind?

• If Launchers still aren’t your thing, you’ve got options:
• Try New Weapons: Grind out something fresh like the Krig C or wait for the upcoming AMR 4 Mod Sniper Rifle in Season 2.
• Speculation on Future Updates: Treyarch could introduce similar tweaks for other weapons or challenges to keep the grind engaging yet fair. Fingers crossed for melee weapon buffs next!

Pro Tips for Easy Launcher Progress

1. Play Objective Modes: Modes like Domination or Hardpoint tend to have more equipment and Field Upgrades scattered around.
2. Keep an Eye on Gadgets: Listen for the telltale beeps of Prox Alarms or look for glowing equipment outlines.
3. Stock Up on Ammo: Equip Scavenger or drop your own Ammo Box to keep your Launcher locked and loaded.

Final Thoughts: Grinding Just Got Fun Again

The Season 1 Reloaded update is a massive quality-of-life improvement for Black Ops 6. Whether you’re chasing Dark Matter camo for the flex or just want to complete challenges without tearing your hair out, this change makes a huge difference.

So, grab your Launchers, jump into some matches, and start clearing out those pesky gadgets. Dark Matter is finally within reach—and it’s about to look even sweeter!
