Something doesn't add up.

Unlocking Camos in Modern Warfare 3 is a journey that can sometimes take longer than expected due to unclear explanations. While unlocking the Forged Camo for Holger 556, for example, you’ll need to get 25 kills with a Non-Drill Charge underbarrel, and it’s an attachment puzzle.

The reason why it’s a puzzle is because there are multiple attachments in the game that fit this description, but there don’t seem to be any progress updates as you rack up kills with Holger 556. I had to test all the attachments in my arsenal to see what worked until I finally unlocked the Forged Camo for the Holger 556.

A Non-Drill Charge refers to non-explosive attachments in MW3. However, if you’re trying to unlock the Forged Camo for Holger 556, its 25 kills requirement with a Non-Drill Charge underbarrel seems to be bugged, and you’ll need to use specific attachments to complete it.

How to unlock the Forged Camo for Holger 556 in MW3

To get over the hurdle and unlock the Forged Camo for the Holger 556, you must use the SPW 40MM HE grenade launcher or the Corvus Masterkey shotgun underbarrel attachment.

Tip: Hardcore Modes can help you get underbarrel kills quicker

The Corvus Masterkey shotgun attachment isn’t the strongest thing in the world, so you will often get gunned down by a stronger weapon when you’re trying to get close enough to use it. The Corvus also has limited ammo.

However, Hardcore modes can be a great way for you to get underbarrel kills, as enemies will have limited ammo for their shotguns and less health.

I started progressing through the quest with the grenade launcher but later switched to the Corvus Masterkey shotgun since the “noob tube’s” ammo problem was slowing down my progress. When I read the Camo challenge text, I thought I would need to use attachments that weren’t explosives. While that might be the case on a grammatical level, there seems to be a bug that prevents players from progressing unless they use the two attachments above.

There have been players reporting the shotgun attachment wasn’t working for them, and if that’s also the case for you, I’d recommend sticking with the grenade launcher.
