How to Get Launcher Camos in MW4

The fastest way to Gold on a launcher in Modern Warfare 4 is to stop trying in Multiplayer.

Every camo on the MW4 ladder has a Multiplayer challenge and a DMZ challenge, and either one unlocks it. In Multiplayer, Gold asks for 15 player kills in a single match. In DMZ it asks for enemy kills instead, and launchers are the one class where that number is halved: 50, where every other weapon needs 100.

That single rule is most of the answer, and it is why launcher camos look impossible from inside a Multiplayer lobby.

The four launchers

MW4 launched with 33 weapons. Four of them are launchers:

Launcher
PILA	played in the beta
RPG-8	new at launch
JOKR	new at launch
PM-40 Anvil	new at launch

Activision named the 22 beta weapons one by one and stated the launch total of 33, but has not published the other eleven individually. Our MW4 weapons list carries that caveat in full, so treat the three launch names as the roster rather than as an Activision page.

Every launcher camo challenge

Launchers run the same 14-camo ladder as every other weapon: eight Military camos that come with weapon levels, three Special camos named per gun, then the Completionist tiers. These are the three that people actually chase.

Tier	What it takes
Gold	15 player kills in a single match in Multiplayer, or 50 enemy kills in a single match in DMZ
Platinum	Gold on all four launchers first, then 2 player kills without taking damage, 15 times
Harmonic Break	Platinum on all 33 weapons first, then 10 player kills in a match, 7 times

Why DMZ is the answer for Gold

Fifteen player kills in one Multiplayer match is a hard target with a rifle. With a launcher it is a different kind of hard: you are carrying a weapon that was never meant to kill people one at a time, in a mode where everybody is moving.

DMZ changes the terms completely. The targets are AI, there are a lot of them, and the count you need is half what every other class is asked for. You still have to get the kills in a single match, so the job is to find a dense area and stay alive in it, but the maths stops being the problem.

Pick whichever mode suits you. The camo is the same camo, and the ladder does not care which challenge you cleared.

Platinum is where launchers get cheap

Platinum opens on a weapon once every weapon in its class has Gold. For assault rifles that is eight guns. For launchers it is four, and only the melee class asks for fewer.

So once you are past the Gold wall, launchers are among the shortest routes to a Platinum camo in the game, measured in weapons. The class challenge is two player kills without taking damage, fifteen times, and that one suits a launcher better than it sounds: you are not trading shots at close range to begin with.

Harmonic Break is not a launcher job

Worth knowing before you plan around it. Harmonic Break does not open on a weapon until Platinum is done on all 33 weapons, not just on the class. The launcher challenge behind it, 10 player kills in a match seven times, is the easy part by comparison. If Harmonic Break is the goal, the work is your whole arsenal, and that is what the MW4 Divergence camo boost exists for.

Is it worth having someone else do it?

Gold on one launcher, if you have DMZ time, is a job you can do yourself in an evening of trying. Nothing on this page is locked behind a skill ceiling you cannot reach.

Where it stops being fun is the fourth launcher. Gold on all four is the gate to Platinum, and by the third one you are deploying with a weapon you do not want to use, in a mode you may not play, to tick a box. That is the point where people hand it over, and it is the honest case for a boost rather than any claim that the challenge is impossible.

If you want it done, MW4 Gold camo boost and MW4 Platinum camo boost both take launchers, hand-played by a verified pro. Activision's rules count boosting as a violation, and any penalty applies to the account no matter who played, so no shop can promise your account is safe. If an order is not delivered as described, you get your money back.
