Earning the animated Toxic Metal camouflage requires completing specific tasks during the Echoes of the Dead limited-time event in Call of Duty’s latest titles. Unlike premium cosmetics, this dynamic design applies to all armaments within the game’s newest installment, accessible across both multiplayer and battle royale modes. Participants must fulfill a sequence of in-game objectives to permanently add this reward to their inventory.

Here’s a strategic overview for acquiring this exclusive visual enhancement. Claiming seven distinct prizes within the current event serves as the pathway to obtaining this weapon skin. Each achievement tier offers three optional missions, with progression unlocked by finishing just one challenge per tier.

After securing all event milestones, navigate to the customization interface within the armory. Locate the Special Finishes category where this reactive pattern becomes available. The base version showcases kinetic bullet impact simulations across shifting metallic surfaces, while premium Battle Pass holders gain an alternate neon-enhanced iteration with enhanced visibility in low-light environments.

Time remains critical for acquisition, with event availability ending October 23. Players seeking this cosmetic enhancement should prioritize completing event challenges before expiration. Premium enthusiasts should note the complementary BlackCell variant offers chromatic alterations without affecting gameplay mechanics.
