How to Get Gold Camo in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

The grind for the Gold

Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer is out and so too are the challenges to complete to unlock Gun Skins. Of course, gun skins would not be complete without the Gold Camo. It appears that this time, obtaining the Gold Camo is relatively easy compared to previous Call of Duty installments. When unlocking any camo players are given challenges to complete as you level up the weapon, upon completing of these challenges you will unlock the skins associated to that challenge. For each weapon there are 4 challenges to complete. After players have completed these the Gold Camo Challenge will appear. Depending on which gun you are using, challenges appear at different levels.
