In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies mode, weapon progression and visual customization play a huge role in enhancing the player experience. Among the most popular weapons, the Krig 6 often mistakenly referred to as ‘Krig C’ stands out as one of the most reliable and versatile assault rifles available. When combined with the unique and visually striking zombie camo challenges, the Krig 6 becomes both a deadly tool and a showcase of mastery. Unlocking the full set of zombie camos for the Krig 6 takes time, strategy, and a deep understanding of how the camo system works within the Zombies mode.
Understanding the Krig 6 in Zombies
The Krig 6 is a powerful and balanced assault rifle known for its accuracy and steady fire rate. In Zombies mode, it excels at medium to long range, especially when Pack-a-Punched and upgraded with the right attachments. Its recoil control and ammo economy make it ideal for surviving multiple rounds, whether you’re playing solo or with a team.
Before diving into camos, it’s important to optimize the Krig 6 for zombie slaying. Equipping extended mags, a suitable sight, and recoil-stabilizing grips will increase your kill potential and efficiency, helping you meet camo requirements faster.
Zombie Camo Categories Overview
There are multiple tiers of zombie camos in Cold War, each with its own specific unlock requirements. These camos are categorized into several groups:
- Spray Basic kill requirements
- Stripes Critical kills
- Classic Pack-a-Punched kills
- Geometric Rapid kills
- Flora Kills while affected by equipment or field upgrades
- Science Special or elite enemy kills
- Psychedelic Multiple kills without getting hit
Each category consists of several camo unlocks, and completing all tiers will reward you with the Gold Viper camo. Continue grinding through every assault rifle, and you’ll eventually unlock Plague Diamond and Dark Aether camos.
Spray Camos Basic Kill Farming
The first camo category is all about raw kills. With the Krig 6, your goal is to reach a set number of total kills (usually 2,500). This can be achieved quickly by running early-game rounds in maps like Die Maschine or Firebase Z. Training zombies and using large magazines helps rack up kills efficiently.
Tips for Fast Spray Progression
- Use double XP tokens during your grind.
- Equip extended mags and damage boosts.
- Train in large areas like the yard in Die Maschine.
Stripes Camos Critical Kills
Critical kills, or headshots, are vital for the Stripes camo set. The Krig 6’s accuracy makes it one of the easiest guns to land headshots with. Aim high and use attachments that enhance aim-down-sight (ADS) speed and stability.
How to Maximize Headshots
- Always aim for the head from round 1.
- Use Deadshot Daiquiri to auto-aim at zombie heads.
- Avoid hip-firing unless absolutely necessary.
Headshots also conserve ammo and make farming points more efficient, especially in early rounds where ammo management is critical.
Classic Camos Pack-a-Punch Kills
Once you reach higher rounds and unlock the Pack-a-Punch machine, the Krig 6 becomes a powerhouse. To complete the Classic camo category, you’ll need to get a large number of Pack-a-Punched kills (usually 2,500). The key here is longevity survive long enough with a Pack-a-Punched Krig 6 and you’ll naturally complete this category.
Strategies for Efficient PaP Kills
- Upgrade your Krig 6 to tier III damage.
- Apply ammo mods like Dead Wire or Cryo Freeze.
- Use Ring of Fire to boost damage and conserve ammo.
Pack-a-Punched kills are most efficient when combined with camo challenges from other categories, especially elite kills and field upgrade kills.
Geometric Camos Rapid Kills
For this category, you’ll need to get multiple rapid kills within a short window usually 10 kills rapidly several times. With the Krig 6’s firing rate and recoil control, these challenges are best done by herding zombies into tight spaces and eliminating them in bursts.
Recommended Loadouts and Perks
- Use Stamin-Up to help train zombies efficiently.
- Throw monkey bombs or decoys to group enemies.
- Trigger Field Upgrade abilities in tight quarters.
This is a great opportunity to stack kills for other categories while knocking out the Geometric camo requirements.
Flora Camos Utility Kills
Flora camos are unlocked by killing zombies while under the influence of equipment or field upgrades. This includes kills made while your Ring of Fire, Frost Blast, or Aether Shroud is active, among others. This category may take time but is easy if you build a strategy around your favorite field upgrade.
Efficient Use of Field Upgrades
- Level up Ring of Fire to Tier III for bonus effects.
- Save upgrade charges for large zombie groups.
- Train zombies before activating abilities to maximize impact.
Remember, you don’t need to kill all enemies with the upgrade’s direct effect just while it’s active.
Science Camos Elite and Special Enemies
These camos require you to kill special or elite enemies like Megatons, Mimics, or Tempests. These enemies appear in higher rounds and are more difficult to defeat. With the Krig 6 fully upgraded, they become manageable threats.
Best Methods for Elite Kills
- Use Ring of Fire to melt Megaton health quickly.
- Apply Brain Rot or Napalm Burst for extra DPS.
- Cooperate with your squad to focus fire elites.
This category can be completed naturally over time, but targeting elite rounds specifically will speed up your camo grind.
Psychedelic Camos Survival Mastery
To unlock these vibrant camos, you’ll need to earn multiple kills without taking damage. Typically, this means earning several ‘multiple kill streaks’ within a single game. With the Krig 6’s control and accuracy, this becomes much easier, especially in earlier rounds.
Pro Tips for Avoiding Damage
- Keep moving never stay in one spot too long.
- Use Aether Shroud if you’re cornered.
- Stick to wide areas where you can dodge easily.
It’s best to focus on this category early in the match when zombies are slower and easier to manage.
Gold Viper, Plague Diamond, and Dark Aether
Once you complete all zombie camo challenges for the Krig 6, you’ll unlock the Gold Viper camo a golden, diseased look that symbolizes mastery over the undead. Unlocking Gold Viper for every assault rifle rewards you with the Plague Diamond camo, and completing the entire weapon class earns the coveted Dark Aether skin.
These camos are more than just visual rewards; they are badges of dedication, skill, and strategy in the relentless world of Zombies.
The Krig 6 stands as one of the most rewarding weapons to use for camo challenges in Black Ops Cold War Zombies. Whether you’re gunning for Gold Viper or chasing the elusive Dark Aether, the Krig 6 offers stability, damage, and style. Mastering its performance and learning the best strategies for each camo category will not only enhance your gameplay, but also earn you some of the most eye-catching visuals the mode has to offer. Stay patient, train smart, and your Krig 6 will soon be shining with the glow of undead conquest.
