At the time of launch, there are two different launchers available for you to pick and use. Both of them have different camos to unlock, and that requires you to get some direct kills with the weapons. This makes things pretty tricky, as a launcher isn’t known for precise hits. But you’ll have to do precisely that, and more than once, if you want to unlock the Mastery camos. Thankfully, there’s a trick to use which will let you ease your life and quicken the process.

Best way to get direct hit kills with launchers in Call of Duty Black Ops 6

To get a direct hit kill with a launcher, you’ll need a map with extremely tight corners. Thankfully, the Stakeout is just perfect for this task, as it’s a tiny map with plenty of blind corners. The map also allows you to hide effectively as you reload your launcher.

  • Start a Faceoff Moshpit if you want quick action.
  • Equip a launcher in your loadout.
  • There are two kitchen corners (usually, you’ll always spawn near one of them).
  • Aim with your ADS in front of you.
  • Usually, you’ll have someone rushing in through the space or trying to camp.
  • Don’t think much, and just press the fire button.
  • Once done, move sideways so that you’re not an open target.
  • Rinse and repeat the steps mentioned here.

Of course, things are not going to be that simple, as your opponent isn’t going just to pop up and get blown away. This is where you can also use the balconies. There are three balconies, with one of them connecting two different rooms. Aim over there, and you should have someone popping up eventually.

Between the two launchers, the CIGMA is much easier to manage, but you can also use the HE-1. In fact, you can check out all the available multiplayer camo challenges for the two launchers here. With the new season yet to begin, completing the challenges is an excellent way to gain some free camos and show them off to your opponents after you blast them across the map.
