Weapons and equipment
Camos
A camo changes a weapon’s paint. You pick it weapon by weapon in the Camos tab of the Gunsmith, and it’s part of your Gunsmith build: you get it every time you get the weapon in a match. Only weapons with progression wear camos (not wonder weapons, the knife or the Gatling). With no camo, the weapon keeps its factory finish. The Gunsmith opens at level 6 (see Levels, ranks and prestige); camo challenges progress from your very first match.
There are four families:
- challenge camos, specific to each weapon, earned by playing with it;
- mastery camos: Gold, Diamond and Abyss;
- special camos, valid on every weapon: Easter eggs, Battle Pass, referrals, Discord server, shop bundles;
- skins from the shop, tied to one weapon and sculpted.
Challenge camos
Every weapon with progression has the same 14 challenge camos: eight for its kills, five for its headshots, and Marble for its kills once upgraded at the Forge of Ys. The counters belong to that weapon and never reset. The Armory and the Gunsmith show your progress on each challenge.
| Name | Requirement |
|---|---|
Woodland Forest camo with big brown and green blotches. 25 kills. | Kill 25 enemies |
Sand Sand and ochre tones of the dunes of Audierne Bay. 50 kills. | Kill 50 enemies |
Urban Concrete-gray and granite blocks, to blend into the bunker. 100 kills. | Kill 100 enemies |
Tiger Horizontal jungle “tiger stripes.” 150 kills. | Kill 150 enemies |
Digital Pixelated micro-square pattern, confusion guaranteed at any range. 200 kills. | Kill 200 enemies |
Splinter Angular shards and rain streaks, inspired by “Splittertarn.” 300 kills. | Kill 300 enemies |
Hex Charcoal hexagonal cells with metallic edges. 400 kills. | Kill 400 enemies |
Carbon Carbon fiber weave under a glossy clear coat. 500 kills. | Kill 500 enemies |
Blood Splatters and drips of dried blood. 50 headshots. | Get 50 headshots |
Flames Airbrushed flames on a black base. 100 headshots. | Get 100 headshots |
Frost Translucent ice crystals, like a January night on the moor. 200 headshots. | Get 200 headshots |
Magma Volcanic rock split by glowing flows that pulse slowly. 350 headshots. | Get 350 headshots |
Damascus Damascus steel forged in rippling layers, polished then acid-etched. 500 headshots. | Get 500 headshots |
Marble White marble veined with gray and gold, like the columns of Ys. 200 kills with the upgraded weapon. | 200 kills with the weapon upgraded at the Forge of Ys |
Do the headshots at the same time
Kill and headshot counters move together: if you aim for the head from the start, you finish both series at about the same time. Marble requires using the weapon after forging it: keep that in mind before swapping it for another.
Mastery
- Gold: earn all 14 challenge camos on a weapon.
- Diamond: earn Gold on 3 weapons of the same class. Diamond is then awarded to every weapon in the class, even ones you’ve never used.
- Abyss: earn Diamond in all seven mastery classes (pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, tactical rifles, shotguns, LMGs, sniper rifles). The animated Abyss camo is then awarded to every weapon with progression.
Launchers and the crossbow have their challenge camos and their Gold, but they don’t count toward Diamond or Abyss. The “Solid Gold,” “Diamond Shine” and “Child of the Abyss” achievements reward these milestones (see Achievements).
| Name | Requirement |
|---|---|
Gold Polished solid gold. Earn all 14 challenge camos for this weapon. | Unlock this weapon’s 14 challenge camos |
Diamond Diamond facets that scatter light into iridescent sparkles. Get gold on 3 weapons in the class. | Get Gold on 3 weapons in the class |
Abyss The living depths of the bay: ink-black, with rippling bioluminescent glows. Diamond in every class. | Get Diamond in every weapon class |
Going for Abyss
In each class, pick the three weapons you like best: only Gold on three weapons counts, not on all of them. A weapon reaches Gold after 500 kills, 500 of them headshots, plus 200 kills once forged: do those last 200 right away by keeping the weapon after the Forge.
Special camos
Special camos work on all your weapons with progression as soon as you own them.
Easter eggs
- Ys: complete “The Awakening of Ys,” the main Easter egg of Ker-Ys (see The Awakening of Ys).
- Ship of Paris: complete “The Last Metro,” the main Easter egg of Nec Mergitur (see The Last Metro (Nec Mergitur Easter egg)).
Both are animated.

Weapon skins (Shop)
| Name | Weapon | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
The Vouivre The StG44 where the Vouivre of the Bièvre sleeps: blued steel and gold, the Vouivre on its flanks, its maw at the muzzle, the stone of Ys and the amber Guimard globe. Every zombie you drop turns to snow. Ultimate reward of Nec Mergitur. | StG 44 | Battle Pass S3 — tier 50 (Premium) |
The Ankou’s Scythe The AK-47 forged for the Ankou himself: a scythe blade, a stock of spine and ribs, a lantern where the souls he reaped dance. Every zombie you drop sends its own soul there. | AK-47 | Shop: 1,000 Ankou Coins |
Night of the Korrigans The Thompson of the korrigans, the mischievous dwarves who dance around the menhirs on full-moon nights and guard the gold of the moors: a stock of roots, a cauldron of gold, a menhir, an oak branch hung with their lantern. Every zombie you drop releases its will-o’-the-wisp. | Thompson M1928A1 | Shop: Korrigan Starter Pack |
Sunken Ys The Kar98k raised from the ruins of Ys: a mother-of-pearl stock where Marie-Morgane swims, breaking waves of gold, bands caught in coral, a conch muzzle and a bolt shaped like the key to the sluice gates. Every zombie you drop rises in bubbles to the surface. | Kar98k | Shop: Sunken Ys Pack |
One-Armed Bandit The MP40 that broke the bank in Las Vegas: a real slot machine on its flank, bulbs and neon lit, a stack of poker chips for a magazine, a roulette wheel in the stock. Inspect the weapon and pull the lever: the three reels decide. Every zombie you drop pays out a gold coin. | MP40 | Shop: Las Vegas Pack |
The Ossuary The starting pistol, engraved for the Ankou: an aged-silver slide where his motto burns, “Je vous tue tous” (“I kill you all”), taken from the ossuary of La Roche-Maurice, carved bone grips with a triskelion, a golden scythe on the frame. Every zombie you drop leaves an ember that flies back to the gun. | M1911 | Shop: Ossuary Pack |
The Ankou’s Cart The Karrigell an Ankou, the Reaper’s creaking cart: bog-oak staves bound in iron, a bone-spoked wheel on the flank, a skull lantern at the muzzle, a wicker basket where souls glow. Every zombie you drop leaves its soul behind, drawn into the lantern. | M16A4 | Shop: The Ankou’s Cart |
The Chipped Scythe The revolver the Ankou keeps at his belt when the cart stops: a scythe blade strapped in iron under the barrel, chipped by every soul it has reaped, green mist seeping from its nicks, and a grip carved from an ash scythe handle, lashed with leather, an iron ring at the butt. Every zombie you drop leaves its soul behind, which traces a ring before joining the blade. | Colt Python | Shop: The Ankou’s Cart |
The Forge of Ys camo
A weapon upgraded at the Forge of Ys automatically takes on animated purple and blue marbling, in place of your camo. Each further upgrade makes the glow more intense. This camo can’t be picked in the Gunsmith.
Shop skins
A skin is more than a camo: it replaces parts of the weapon with sculpted pieces and adds an effect to every zombie you drop. It’s bought with Ankou Coins in the shop and only works on its weapon.
| Skin | Weapon | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| The Ankou’s Scythe | AK-47 | 1,000 Ankou Coins, on its own |
| Night of the Korrigans | Thompson M1928A1 | In the Korrigan Starter Pack |
| Sunken Ys | Kar98k | In the Sunken Ys Pack |
| One-Armed Bandit | MP40 | In the Las Vegas Pack |
| The Ossuary | M1911 | In the Ossuary Pack |
| The Ankou’s Cart | M16A4 | In The Ankou’s Cart bundle |
| The Chipped Scythe | Colt Python | In The Ankou’s Cart bundle |
- The sculpted pieces count as attachments: each one takes a slot and the effects of an existing attachment, with no weapon level required (see Attachments).
- After the Forge of Ys, the weapon keeps its sculpted pieces; only the paint gives way to the Forge camo.
