How to fix MW3 Zombies gold camo not working

MWZ Golden Enigma bugged!

With Modern Warfare 3, players don't just have Multiplayer camos to grind for; they also have a completionist camo to unlock in Zombies. If you're having trouble unlocking the gold camo in MW3 Zombies, here are some potential fixes you can use.

Golden Enigma and Golden Ivory camos not unlocking in MWZ

Golden Enigma and Golden Ivory camos are the first Zombies completionist camos for MW3 and MW2 weapons. Players are unable to unlock these camos with certain loadout configurations, and the developers know about this. A global fix for this issue is expected to arrive soon, so get ready for a small update when that drops.

Most of the weapons are unaffected by this bug, allowing you to get gold camo on them in MWZ. For the guns that appear bugged, follow the steps below as they have solved the problem for myself and for other players:

  • Bring the weapon into the match as your insured weapon.
  • Don't Pack-a-Punch.
  • Don't increase the weapon rarity.
  • Use a blueprint for that weapon (try this separately).

I also recommend keeping a correct count of the 100 kills you need to get before exfiling; be sure not to include collaterals. There is no guarantee that following these points will help you complete the challenge and unlock the gold camo, however, you can give it a try and find out for yourself until the developers release a patch to fix this problem in MW3 Zombies.
