Season 4 introduces the VX Compact to Black Ops 7 and Warzone, expanding the game’s growing weapon lineup with a new assault rifle. You unlock it through the Illicit Cargo Camo event, which draws inspiration from Black Ops 3 and brings a fresh set of camo objectives to complete.
Once you add the VX Compact to your loadouts, you can start working through its dedicated camo challenges across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. Understanding these requirements helps you plan your grind and unlock every available camo as efficiently as possible.
How to complete all VX Compact camo challenges in Black Ops 7
Track each camo tier by mode so you can focus on one objective set at a time. Work through Military, then Special, and finish with Mastery to unlock every finish tied to the VX Compact.
