MW4 Pyroclast Camo: How to Unlock It

How to Unlock Pyroclast in MW4

Pyroclast is tied to Weapon Prestige rather than to player rank or the Multiplayer mastery ladder. The starting sequence is straightforward:

1. Choose the weapon whose Pyroclast progression you want to advance.
2. Use that weapon to earn Weapon XP in Multiplayer or DMZ until it reaches its maximum level.
3. Enter Weapon Prestige for that weapon.
4. Pyroclast unlocks right away, at Weapon Prestige 1, level 1.

Entering Weapon Prestige resets the weapon's level and relocks its ordinary attachments. Apex Attachments and Weapon Blueprint Attachments are exceptions. Shared Attachments already available on other weapons are not relocked, and previously earned camos, reticles, blueprints, decals, stickers and accessories remain yours.

Classic vs Regular Prestige: Which Gets the Pyroclast Camos?

Neither. Classic and Regular are player Prestige paths, and Pyroclast comes from Weapon Prestige, which you choose separately for each weapon once it reaches max level.

Pyroclast Requirement

Pyroclast unlocks at Weapon Prestige 1, level 1. That is the moment you Weapon-Prestige a max-level gun, so there is no extra challenge to complete. The weapon resets to level 1 and relocks most attachments, but earned camos and customization stay.

Pyroclast is earned per weapon, not across your other weapons, and each weapon can only be Weapon-Prestiged once. Once that weapon reaches max level again, it moves into Weapon Prestige Master automatically, with no second reset.

Pyroclast is different from Gold, Platinum, Harmonic Break and Divergence, which belong to the Completionist sequence. It is also different from the mode-specific Mastery camos for Multiplayer, DMZ and Warzone.

How to Reach Prestige Faster

Focus on Weapon XP for the weapon you actually want to Prestige. Using another weapon does not advance this weapon’s own Prestige levels. Double Weapon XP Tokens can help you progress through weapon levels when available.

Plan for the attachment reset before entering Weapon Prestige. Camos and other cosmetics stay unlocked, but ordinary attachments must be earned again on that weapon. Apex and blueprint attachments remain available, and shared attachments unlocked on other weapons are unaffected.

1. Pyroclast: Weapon Prestige 1, level 1.
2. Pyroclast Terminus: Weapon Prestige 1 max level.
3. Pyroclast Scatter: Weapon Prestige Master level 150.
4. Pyroclast Cascade: Weapon Prestige Master level 250.
