DMZ camos: progression & requirements
DMZ has three mode Mastery camos: Chiral, Ripple Tide and Helio. Progress is available during DMZ Early Access, but the official pages currently disagree on several challenge totals.

What unlocks the Mastery track?
The official progression guide places Mastery after Military, Special and Completionist challenges. Divergence opens the first Mastery challenge. Chiral leads to Ripple Tide, which leads to Helio.

Checked October 21: the English page lists 2,500 Tier 3+ kills for Chiral, 50 deployments extracting two LT tags for Ripple Tide, and 25,000 Legendary-weapon kills on a max-level Operator for Helio. The localized page lists 1,000, 25 and 2,500 respectively. We cannot resolve this from the articles alone. Use the live in-game challenge text before committing to a route.

Save a screenshot of the challenge you actually have, including its unlock state and current counter. Check it after a small, controlled set of qualifying actions. This lets you distinguish a locked prerequisite, the wrong target tier and a tracking problem without spending an entire session on the wrong condition.
Early access and weapon availability
Infinity Ward confirmed that camo progression is available during early access. It also cautioned that you need the weapon in your stash or must find it in the zone. A shared attachment unlock does not mean the weapon is automatically available for purchase in DMZ.
