How To Unlock Mastery Badges in Black Ops 6
If you’ve played Call of Duty: Mobile (CODM), you might find that Black Ops 6 has a comparable system.

Similarly, Mastery Badges in Black Ops 6 is a progression system that allows you to track and display your expertise with individual pieces of gear, such as weapons, grenades, and Scorestreaks.
Each weapon, equipment, and Scorestreak has its own set of badges, ranging from Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers.
Achieving the highest tier for all items within a particular category (such as all Assault Rifles) unlocks a Diamond Badge.
To unlock Mastery Badges, you need to complete specific objectives for each item.
The challenges vary depending on what you're using, but here’s a general overview of what to expect:
- Weapons - You need to accumulate a certain number of eliminations using a specific weapon. The more kills you get, the closer you move toward earning higher-tier badges.
- Frag Grenade - For this, the challenge would be to secure kills using the Frag Grenade, with the number required increasing as you progress from Bronze to Gold.
- Prox Alarm (Tactical Equipment) - The challenge here involves killing enemies that have been detected by your Prox Alarm.
- Trophy System - To unlock badges for this equipment, you need to intercept enemy projectiles, such as grenades or missiles, with your Trophy System.
- RC-XD (Scorestreak) - The task involves getting kills using this remote-controlled explosive vehicle.
These badges are more than just a way to brag. Once you unlock a Gold badge for any item, you also get a Stat Tracker that records your performance, such as eliminations, kills, and more.
This tracker is visible in the Winner’s Circle or during KillCam replays, allowing others to see your progress and accomplishments.
You can also customize and showcase your top three badges in your Social Menu for all to see.
Multiplayer and zombie modes feature their own distinct sets of Mastery Badges, meaning you’ll need to complete challenges in each mode to fully unlock badges for a particular item.
