It’s okay to fail a Zombies run while pursuing this challenge

Unlike the Golden Ivory camo, you don’t need to make an exfil for the kills to count towards the Spinel Husk challenge. But if you want to retain the weapon, it’s usually a good idea to exfil when it’s safe.

And here are some tricks to quickly get the Spinel Husk Camo:


🎮 Must-Listen: Publishing Manor Lords w/ Joe Robinson 🎙️


  • Use exfil points to farm zombie kills – Since you need a Pack-A-Punch weapon for this challenge, your weapon will deal solid damage against frail zombies. 
  • Toxic damage with Experimental Gas can clear crowded spaces – Lowering enemy health before using your weapon lets you kill hordes of enemies quickly. Just remember that you might lose kills to these other tools while working towards the challenge.
  • Work on finishing contracts, Infected Strongholds, and Aether Nests – These tasks let you find loads of zombies and mercenaries in tight spaces, perfect for getting kills. We think it’s worth destroying these as you find them. 
  • Higher weapon rarities and Ammo Mods are good offensive tools – These let you mow down large numbers of foes. The latter comes in multiple types: Brain Rot, Cryo Freeze, Dead Wire, Napalm Burst, and Shatter Blast.
  • Use exploits like the monkey bomb glitch and unlimited sentry bug in MW3Zombies – These can make earning camos a breeze. Note that this might get patched out.
