You’ve got a task on your hands in Black Ops 6: getting 20 kills with the underbarrel launcher on the AK-74. It’s a fun challenge but can be tricky without the right setup. This guide breaks down exactly how to do it with ease and, yes, snag that special camo along the way.
Let’s get down to the loadout. You’ll want to start with the Prism Tech Reflex, a suppressor, the Gain Twist Barrel, extended mag, and, of course, the standard underbarrel launcher. Forget the high-explosive launcher. Sure, it has a bigger blast radius, but it’s got a delayed fuse, which is a hassle. The standard launcher explodes on impact, and that’s gold here.
Jump into a Hardcore Faceoff Mosh Pit match. Why? Small maps, no score streaks, and your grenades kill in one hit. Hardcore is key here because enemies go down faster; no messing around with multiple grenades like in core modes. You’ll spend less time worrying about enemy armor and more time racking up kills.
If Hardcore’s not your style, Core Faceoff Mosh Pit is fine. Just expect a few extra shots for each kill, which can get frustrating if you’re after a faster grind.
Now, let’s talk gear. Equip Flak Jacket for extra grenade protection—because, let’s face it, you don’t want to blow yourself up. Pair it with Strategist so you can see enemy equipment through walls, helping you track where everyone’s lurking. Add Quartermaster for quicker resupplies, and the Assault Pack to keep your grenade supply steady.
When the match starts, press left on the D-pad to switch to the grenade launcher. If you’re using a controller, remember to stay back, find a cozy corner, and aim for choke points where enemies tend to cluster. Don’t go running around; sit back and take your shots.
First few kills might be slow, especially if a lot of opponents are also running Flak Jacket. But stick with it. The Assault Pack doesn’t just give one grenade—it doubles up, meaning less downtime between kills. And if you’re lucky, a single match could net you nearly half of the required kills.
Finished a game? Check your progress in the camo challenges. Aim for around 9–10 kills per match in Hardcore, and you’ll have it wrapped up in three to four rounds. Once you get the 20 kills, you’ll unlock the special camo and be that much closer to the Gold, Diamond, and Dark Matter mastery camos.
Now you’re all set. With a few quick matches and the right loadout, you’ll crush this challenge and unlock a camo that sets you apart in Black Ops 6.
