The Warlord is a Shotgun from the Gunsmith in the FOB. Its Camo Select screen holds 25 camos, 8 Military, 3 Special, 4 Completionist, 4 Prestige and 6 Mode Mastery.

Its Special camos are Redshift, Corrupted Clay and Magma Ire, and each one adds a second challenge after a weapon progression step. Gold, Platinum, Harmonic Break and Divergence make up the Completionist chain, and the Prestige set runs from Pyroclast to Pyroclast Cascade.

How Military unlocks, the Completionist chain and Weapon Prestige work for every weapon is in our MW4 DMZ camo challenges guide. For some Warlord camos we do not have the exact number of weapon unlocks yet; we add it as soon as we have it.
