Here are some tips and tricks to make your way through the LM-S camo challenges in MW2.

MW2 LM-S Camo Challenges Tips¶

The majority of these challenges are straightforward. You need to get kills either through general kills, mounted, or crouched. You don’t need tips other than do as the challenge says.

The only hard challenge is the third one, which states it needs a one shot kills. It is a long-winded way of saying headshots since this gun doesn’t one hit kill otherwise. So, you need to go tracing heads for that challenge. Thankfully, the LM-S has excellent accuracy, so getting your hands on the one taps are fairly straightforward. Look for snipers, or enemy players mounted to easel get their heads. You can also mount up or couch to get that easier accuracy stabilization to make tracking heads even easier. We also recommend looking to do these challenges on fairly medium-range maps, such as Hydroplant, Hotel, Taraq, as these areas offer decent range protection against AR’s, so you avoid an obvious counter to a two-hit Marksman rifle.

As for your class setup, you should be looking at the following:

• Optic: Optic of choice
• Stock: Lachmman S76 Factory Stock
• Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity
• Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper
• Muzzle: ZLR Talon
• You can also use an extended magazine for those more chaotic moments, which is generally good for 6v6 matches; you can drop the high-velocity ammo for that attachment if that’s a preference.

This gun is designed to grant incredible bullet velocity, making tracking headshots incredibly responsive. You also get great ADS speed, and aiming stability from these attachments. We also did the challenge using the Cronen Mini Red Dot since the green marker is around the same size as heads against targets around the 30-meter mark. You should also use the Focus perk, as you can breathe to steady your shot for even more accuracy. The last thing you want t is to lose your breath at an awkward time, or get flinched and lose your chance for a headshot one-hit kill.

Be aware that if you tag the body first, you will lose the chance to get the one-hit kill on the player until they fully recover.

LM-S Gold Camo Challenge and Higher Mastery Level Challenges¶

Moving into the LM-S Gold Camo Challenge, you need to get your hands on three kills without dying. Like most gold challenges, you have a few options. The three main ones are:

1. Go to Ground War, use a spotter scope, and hunt players down using the Spotter Scopes tracking. It’s a fairly safe way to get three kills, but watch for snipers.
2. Hardpoint or Headquarters: Hardpoint and headquarters have players focusing on objective sites to get kills. The result is that players will funnel to positions ready for you to fight on-site or pick off while they move over to it. Either method works for your three kills.
3. TDM Or KC: a final effective method is to play TDM or Kill Confirmed and camp. You can guard dog tags to bait players for kills. Or you can camp with your aim pre-aimed somewhere to get kills. This tip is less effective, but it’s possible, especially if you’re conscience of player movement.

LM-S Platinum Camo Challenge¶

As for the LM-S Platinum Camo Challenge, you now need to get your hands on the long shot kills. You will need to change your barrel to a longer damage range, and keep your silencer on for the buillet velocity, especially if you try to contest snipers on Ground War and Invasion. If you play 6v6, it’s not too big of a deal, and you can still use the ADS build, as the longshot range for a MM rifle is around 40 meters. You can change the optic to the XTEN Angel-40, which has a built-in range finder to make tracking that range much easier.

We recommend the following maps and anchor points if you want a decent idea of places to look.

• El Asilo, such as the rock near A on Domination, all the way over the car on the dirt road and beyond. The radio tower works too, if you cover the north direction, as does the building to the southwest side of the map overlooking the storage yard, and the swing dirt mound section.
• The Raceway is good, especially if you can get prone on the fire engine and cover B site on Domination in front of the pit area of the map. The broadcast trucks side of the map works too, but they favor snipers a lot better.
• Embassy, especially the tennis court and front gate area. You can also get a good prone spot on the roof area of rear gate, near the cafeteria roof. This allows you to cover the car park, with the 35-meter range being the gates to the main embassy building. You may need to stand further back to get long shot kills on the door, or look for snipers further away towards the rear car park to the default spawn area.
• Taraq is also good if you’re covering north-to-south angles, especially the ruin area towards the building with the second-floor outdoor sniping area, which you can use to cover any objectives that go in that direction.
• Hotel offers some good long-range angles near the Patio / Parking boost spot, overlooking the Chandelier hallway to the check-in room and vice versa.
• Sena Border Crossing: The map has many long-distance angles, especially on the freeway area. Getting on one of the back buses or emergency vehicles and watching the middle area should count as long-range kills, as does climbing the burning bus and the fire engine in the middle of the map facing either side of the map.

LM-S Polyatomic Camo Challenge¶

Now for the LM-S Polyatomic Camo Challenge. You now need to get headshots. For reference,m we advise following the same tips and strategy for the third base camo challenge,. You will pretty much play the same playstyle doing this. So, get those red dots out and bullet velocity, and start pining heads in those close and mid-range maps.

This concludes the LM-S camo challenge guide. Goodluck progressing on your road to Orion.
