Key takeaways
-
A dedicated Call of Duty player has become the first to get the Dark Matter camo in Black Ops 6's multiplayer.
-
It took them 57 hours, with only three hours of sleep, including a 43-hour straight awake period.
-
Now, they've moved on to trying to get nebula camo on Zombies, another feat that requires a great deal of legwork.
57 hours. 3,420 minutes. 205,200 seconds.
How long did it take a streamer to unlock the Dark Matter weapon camo in Black Ops 6? Remember, the game was only Just released on October 25th. YouTube content creator Skullface became the first person in the world to unlock the Dark Matter skin in Black Ops 6, allowing himself only three hours of sleep between his grinds.
It's an incredible feat—one that requires an eye-popping amount of work.
As my colleague Charles Berger points out in his How to Unlock Every Multiplayer Weapon Camo guide, getting to Dark Matter requires a significant amount of legwork. Take a look:
Each weapon in Black Ops 6 has three different camo tiers:
- Military: Base camos that are unlocked by performing headshot kills or similar actions.
- special: Unique camo designs that are paired with a weapon-specific challenge.
- Mastery: Visually appealing camos that must be unlocked through time-consuming grinding.
That's just the beginning, because after reaching mastery, you'll have to plow through gold challenges, then diamond, then dark spine. And only then can the final layer of dark matter be reached. In other words, it's a long, long way.

Nothing beats the moment you start getting good at a multiplayer shooter like XDefiant.
Nothing is better than tipping from “always bad” to “sometimes good”.
They're not done yet, either
Per Skullface, the longest period they were awake was 43 hours straight. There is some serious dedication to that right. And as mentioned above, they are not completely finished yet.
They've now moved on to trying to get Nebula Camo, the zombies' special skin. Like the grind for multiplayer camos, the Zombie camo grind requires a similar amount of legwork. Instead of Gold, Diamond, and Dark Spine, there's Mystic Gold, Opal, Afterlife, then Nebula.
Of course, it all takes place in Zombies, and Skullface has taken to Twitch to stream his run. As of this writing, they're at 3/33 gold, with a lot of work to do. Either way, a huge amount of commitment to be the first. We never could.
