The LA-B is the first proper sniper rifle you unlock in the Bryson-long weapon platform. The sniper sacrifices some of that known and loved ADS sped for quick scoping, in favor of some actual sniping gameplay. As a result, this weapon is slightly harder to level, but, players will enjoy working through the rather easy LA-B 330 camo challenges, including the gold, polyatomic and platinum LA-B camo challenges. Here are all the tips, tricks, map strategies, and loadouts you need to complete the job.

Here is a look at each of the LA-B 330 Camo Challenges and tips and tricks for each one.

MW2 LA-B 330 Camo Challenges Tips¶

The LA-B 330 camo challenges are as follows:

The bulk of the challenges for the LA-B 330 are all fancy ways of get kills with the LA-B 330. The first is definitely the case, while the Leafless challenge is almost guaranteed, as long as you don’t shoot legs, arms, hands or feet, as you deal 75% damage instead of one-hit kills. When you get the final challenge at level 21, you will need to stick on a silencer and get even more kills.

Up until that point, your loadout for the LA-B 330 will be as follows:

• Barrel: 18.5“ Bryson LR Factory or 23.5“ Fluted for proper long-range sniping
• Laser: Corio Laz-44 V3
• Stock ZLR T70 Pad Extension
• Comb: Aim-assist 406
• Bolt: FSS ST87 Bolt
• Ammunition: High Velocity (optional over an ADS attachment above)

This offers decent damage range extensions, and adjusts your ADS for when you need to be on the move with your sniper and encounter some zoomers along the way. However, if you want better sniping, you can opt for the high-velocity ammo attachments in exchange for one of those ADS attachments if you so wish.

When you get to the silencer, you will need to remove the Laser for your chosen silencer. The silencer offers the least ADS speed increase. Hence it’s an easy choice to remove.

The only somewhat difficult LA-B 330 camo challenge is the second challenge. Here you need to get two kills within ten seconds of each other. This is not too hard, especially when you can use game mode and certain map angles to your advantage. The best place to get multi-kills is on the objective game modes, where you can guarantee enemy funnels in a certain area, or maps with obvious contest spots. Examples like this include the Las Almas market and the Crown Raceway’s pit lane or back paddock pathway. Moreso, covering objectives like hardpoint or headquarters can generate multikill opportunities, no matter the map.

LA-B 330 Gold Camo Challenge and Higher Mastery Level Challenges¶

Welcome to the LA-B 330 Gold Camo Challenge in MW2. The challenge is to get three kills without dying using this weapon. The reality is it isn’t too hard of a challenge. Like we mentioned in the two kills in 10 seconds challenge, your ideal strategy is long range contested funnels, or overwatch objectives. You don’t need to worry about timing, rather than just surviving. Feel free to take battle-hardened and bomb squad perks to make throwables less dangerous, and use a trophy system, if you’re going to camp objectives or small sniper rooms. Focus is also a great perk as it resists flinching, which is key to scoping with a sniper.

As for the LA-B 330 Platinum Camo Challenge in MW2, you need long shot kills. Thankfully, you’re a sniper, so these are not hard to do. The best place for snipers to do this is to go on Ground War or Invasion mode, and then climb to the top of a large building with long angles. That way, you can guarantee you’re going to shoot someone long range. You can also get long-range kills on core maps, like long angles on Crown Raceway, Taraq, and the outside areas of places like El Asilo and Embassy, if normal maps are more your thing.

Lastly, we have the LA-B 330 Polyatomic Camo Challenge in MW2. The tactic here is to get headshots. If you’re playing the long-range sniping build, make sure you take the Focus perk, keep your breath steady, and use bullet velocity, such as silencers and the Velocity ammunition. This will make getting long-range precise headshots much easier. Alternatively, you can go full ADS attachments and equip a smaller scope for getting close range headshots like a marksman rifle. But again, just be wary that your ADS speeds are much lower than the Bryson MM rifles, so you will need to pre-aim your shots just in case. Pick whichever strategy suits you as a player better, and then get to those headshots.

Hopefully, these tips, tricks, loadout, and map strategies are up to your tastes to complete the LA-B 330 Camo Challenges in MW2. Feel that there’s a tip we missed, let us know in the comments! Good luck with your road to Orion.
