This specific Modern Warfare 2 event has exclusive rewards, but the one that has most players excited is the Blood Cell weapon camo that’s a reward for the Shadow Company side of the battle.

Blood Cell has players bloodthirsty for the camo to equip on all of their favorite weapons, but some conditions need to be met for players to unlock it. It’s going to take some hard work, some skill, and maybe even a little bit of luck to secure it.

Here’s what you need to do to get the Blood Cell camo in MW2.

Blood Cell is a reward for Shadow Company during the Faction Showdown event in MW2. In order to unlock it, Shadow Company must win the event. As of Aug. 7, Shadow Company had a lead of over 160 million kills vs. Task Force 141.

As you can see in the image above, “The Faction with the most Operator kills at the end of the event wins” and “players who have completed all challenges for the winning faction receive additional victory rewards.”

Those additional rewards include Blood Cell, a new operator skin for Horangi, and a double XP token, so make sure to stay on Shadow Company for the duration of the event to unlock everything.

In order to earn Blood Cell, you will need to finish all five Shadow Company challenges during the event, and Shadow Company must finish the event with more operator kills than Task Force 141.

Here’s what the Shadow Company Faction Showdown challenges are.
