While certainly not as powerful as one of the many handguns or explosive special weaponry available for the secondary slot, Black Ops 6’s Nail Gun is certainly one of the most interesting. I mean, can you imagine how hard your opponent will rage when they’re cut down in their prime by a torrent of construction nails?! But hey, there’s still the style factor. You can unlock a large number of cosmetic camo options for the Nail Gun in Black Ops 6, and here’s how!

How to unlock the Nail Gun

The Nail Gun was available as part of a special limited-time event at the beginning of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 3. That event has since ended. However, if you weren’t lucky enough to unlock the special secondary weapon, you can still score one by either purchasing a cosmetic skin in the store or earning enough XP.
Every unique weapon added via a special event inevitably comes to the Armory, where it becomes available for all to unlock at a later time.
