Call of Duty often requires players to complete a set of challenges to access certain rewards, and this camo is no different. This one can be considered the longest camo challenge in the history of CoD. Here’s what you need to know about getting the Welcome to Mainframe camo in MW3.

To obtain the Welcome to the Mainframe camo, players need to regularly interact with the biometric scanners scattered throughout Rebirth Island. Specifically, you must do so a total of 27 times on unique days to get the camo. These scanners offer multiple tiers of key cards as rewards, which can be traded for valuable loot at Buy Stations.
