HCR 56 is a lightweight LMG from the Aug family, which carries with it the strengths and the fire rate of an LMG, but with the movement speed of an assault rifle. This big bullet cannon is surprisingly amazing to use. The gun is also an easy level, which will have you flying through the levels and unlock the camo challenges. For those looking for some assistance, here is the HCR 56 camo challenges, and tips for completing them.

Here are some tips and tricks on getting the HCR 56 camo challenges completed in MW2

HCR 56 Camo Challenges Tips in MW2¶

The first two HCR 56 camo challenges in MW2 are fairly simple. All you need to do is get kills while ADS. We recommend using the ADS build, which uses the following attachments to get those two out of the way. It’s also the build we think is the best HCR loadout too!

• 24.4 Bruen S-620 Barrel
• Sakin Tread-50 muzzle
• Merc Foregrip or Phase 3 Grip underbarrel
• FTAC C11 Riser Comb, and Bruen 0900 Rear Grip.

These attachments vastly improve your recoil control, and ADS speed. You also get better movement speed, so you can easily run and gun to improve the play style.

As for the Double kill challenge, we recommend playing on Headquarters, Domination or Hardpoint. Set your LMG up near the key map rotation points, or overlooking the objectives. You’re more than likely going to encounter enemies running at these places, likely allowing you to get eat easy double kills. Alternatively, if you spot enemies in a spawn trap, you can get double kills by looking at the routes trapped enemies need to escape.

The fourth challenge has you get 20 mounted kills is a fairly similar strategy to the third one. Find the contested areas of the map, and mount your gun somewhere. You can get fairly decent mounted kills that way. Just be aware of bullet velocity, as shooting long-range targets while mounted can mean missing shots. One of the best places we found to do this was on the left tunnel at the Gallows site on Al Bagra. This overlooks one of the exits from the other spawn and the stables. This is a good way to watch for spawn traps. However, other key places with mount setup, like outside of Embassy, and the various outdoor props to mount on for headquarter objectives on the outside of the map, and many more.

HCR 56 Gold Camo Challenge and Higher Mastery Level Challenges¶

Now for the HCR 56 Gold Camo Challenge. To do this, we recommend playing the game however you prefer. You can easily get this within a few games, as long as you can get into good ADS spots and get kills funnelled to you. Alternatively, find those mounted spots you like. It’s also possible to do this against the bots on Invasion mode, or look for those contested areas in Headquarters and Hardpoint for the three kills with the gun without dying.

For the HCR 56 Platinum Camo Challenge, you need to get long shots. For this, we recommend changing the muzzle to a silencer that adds extra damage range and a barrel that grants better bullet velocity. after that, you should also adjust your rear grip for recoil control. Now that’s done, we recommend trying to mount your LMG overlooking long-range angles. There are some good spots on invasion mode, especially if you can get a long angle around the streets from buildings, or on an elevated patch of land overlooking a town, such as the swing on El Asilo, overlooking the storage yard, the long angles around Embassy’s outside territory, and Taraq is a good option if you can find a nice elevated distant position to overwatch pathways into a site. The Hydrophonics map is also good, especially if you can mount it near the building that overlooks the mid and right side of the map, typically where B is on Domination.

As for the HCR 56 Polyatomic Camo Challenge, you need to get headshots with the gun. We again recommend returning to the original ADS setup listed earlier and trying to play close range with your gun. The best places to do this are angles where you can pre-aim. The examples that spring to mind are Las Almas and Al Bagra’s big door areas on the map, and watching the entrances to the main buildings on Farm 18. You can also pre-aim the usual sniping windows, like the Embassy second-floor windows overlooking the map’s middle section, the toilet room, and to some extent, the Hydroponics sniping spots and areas players rush around, and the wall boost, fountain, and market stalls in the market on Las Almas.

This concludes the HCR 56 Camo challenges guide. Hopefully, these tips help you with your go-to spots for getting these carious challenges done.
