If you're trying to finish the Apocalypse camo grind in Warzone as fast as possible, the answer is pretty clear right now: play Launch Squad and farm volume, not highlight clips. After testing different approaches, the fastest method is staying on ground level, farming bots, picking up launch codes, and avoiding slow rooftop fights unless they fall into your lap. That simple shift saves time, raises your eliminations, and makes even weaker weapons feel far less painful.

↖ Why Launch Squad Is the Best Camo Mode Right Now

The reason this mode works so well is simple: almost all the usual downtime is gone.

↖ What makes it so fast

• You spawn with your weapon
• You respawn after dying
• The map is small and crowded
• Bots are everywhere and count toward camo progress
• Launch code pickups help with ammo and plating

From a practical grinding standpoint, that means we spend far less time looting, rotating, or resetting after death. We spend more time shooting, and for camos, that is what matters.

In our runs, a strong match could comfortably reach 70–90 eliminations, and even bad weapons were still far easier here than in standard Resurgence or BR Casuals.

↖ Best Strategy for Fast Camo Progress

The fastest route is not complicated, but a lot of players still lose time by overthinking it.

↖ Focus on bots first

If you want faster camo progress, bots should be your priority.

Why?

• They are easier to kill
• They appear in larger groups
• They are safer for streaks and special challenges
• They still move your elimination count forward

If you find yourself constantly taking long rooftop fights, your pace is probably dropping. In most matches, ground-level routes are better than contesting the tallest buildings.

↖ Play for eliminations, not ego fights

A big detail many players miss: eliminations include assists. So if you tag enemies during heavy traffic, especially bots, you can get credit even when someone else finishes them.

That matters because most camo progress is really just asking us to keep the elimination count moving.

↖ Best Weapon Priorities

Some weapons obviously benefit more than others, but Launch Squad improves almost everything.

If you're trying to move quickly, start with your most efficient weapons first. That gives you fast progress early and saves the awkward weapons for later.

↖ What to Do During the Match

This is the loop that worked best for us.

↖ Simple in-match plan

1. Land or respawn and head toward ground-level traffic

2. Farm bots first

3. Pick up launch codes when safe

4. Tag as many enemies as possible for extra elimination credit

5. Ignore long rooftop battles unless they are free

6. Keep grinding even when the launch sequence starts

The launch objective is fun, but for camo speed, it usually slows you down. In testing, matches where we ignored the objective and just kept farming kills gave better progress than matches where we tried to play the mode properly.

That's the real trick here: treat the mode like a farming playlist, not a win condition playlist.

↖ Special Challenges and Mastery Camos

This is where Launch Squad becomes even more valuable.

↖ Why special camos are easier here

Challenges like these are much simpler with bots around:

• Kills without taking damage
• Sliding kills
• Short kill streaks
• Weapon-specific awkward kill requirements

Because bots are less punishing than real players, we get more safe windows to force challenge progress without throwing the match away.

↖ Current tracking notes

So if something looks wrong mid-match, always check again in the Bo7 lobby before assuming the run was wasted.

↖ Best Backup Modes If Launch Squad Leaves

Since Launch Squad is a limited-time mode, it makes sense to have a backup plan.

↖ Best alternatives

If Launch Squad gets removed, Resurgence Casuals is the next best all-around option. If you're working on a weapon you genuinely hate, Verdansk BR Casuals can feel easier because the pace is slower and third parties are less constant.

↖ FAQ

↖ Is Launch Squad the fastest camo mode in Warzone right now?

Yes. Based on practical grinding, it is the fastest current option because it removes setup time and gives constant targets.

↖ Should I focus on bots or real players?

Bots first. Real players are worth killing when the fight is easy, but bots are better for consistent camo progress.

↖ Do assists count as eliminations?

Yes. Tagging enemies before they die can still help your camo grind.

↖ Are weak weapons still worth using in Launch Squad?

Yes. Pistols, melee weapons, and other awkward classes are still much easier here than in most other modes.

↖ Is the launch objective worth doing?

Not if your main goal is camo speed. Farming kills is usually more efficient than chasing the rocket sequence.

↖ Final Takeaway

If your goal is to unlock Apocalypse camos fast, the method is straightforward: play Launch Squad, stay low, farm bots, keep moving, and stop wasting time on slow fights. That approach is simple, repeatable, and much closer to how real players grind efficiently in practice.

It may not stay in the playlist forever, which is exactly why this is the moment to push through as much camo progress as possible.
