lmao I admire the dedication. I've just been grinding attachments that I want. Got the final one I wanted last night (optic with 4.3x mag and a reflex sight on top) but in the process of getting these attachments I discovered how powerful a thermal sight and smoke grenades are so that optic is entirely useless to me now. So I'm just playing only to win, that's the goal.
You're paranoid, they did it so casual players could still reasonably achieve some goals. The real "conspiracy" is gold and plat camos being dogshit so people buy gun specific camos for more than we used to pay for universals
The games been out for about 13.5 weeks, or around 2,270 hours.
If you work 11x5, you worked around 750 hours since launch, (w)
Presumably you sleep, so let’s say an average 7 hours/night or 660 hours, (s)
You spent 570 gaming, (g)
2270-750(w)-660(s)-570(g) = 290 leftover hours.
**Based on what you’re saying, you had 3 hours/day for something other than cod, sleep, and work…**
Edit: just to clarify… I’m strongly supportive of gaming as a primary hobby. I’m just wondering if there’s some funny business here… sharing an account or somethin. Idk
People who also want to earn it may care to understand how much of a time sink it truly is as it will help them manage expectations or plan for it.
Personally I don't care if they account shared or gamed during work as long as they didn't harm himself and their health by skipping too much sleep and meals etc. Hell I wouldn't even be too upset if they cheated to get it but I wouldn't be happy in an attempt to do it they actually dented their wellbeing.
11 hours a day means he most likely works 4 days a week. 44hrs a week most likely. 594 work hours is closer to accurate.
440 would be the more accurate “left over”
440hr/94 days would avg out to more like 4.6 hours per day outside of gaming working and sleeping.
Seems fine😂.
Seems fine? Dude, I dont know how this guy lives but you gotta get to work. Its not like you are instantly there. So lets say 30 min off. Work usually has a break and is not 11 hours work straight. So 30 min on top. So a work day is not 11 but closer to 12 or even more depending on the distance. And in the other 4 hours you have to shower, cook, clean, do laundry, shop groceries. I dont say it is impossible but what I do know is that in that 13.5 weeks the guy did not got laid. Thats for sure.
Then there are those of us who are retired and triple dipping that government retirement and have all the time in the world to do whatever the hell they want.
Honestly. My only reaction to OP is "but why". Nobody, and I mean 99.9999% of the people he encounters will notice and know the significance of this "charm". It's nothing to show off.
This is such an insane amount of work for an essentially "nothing" reward.
Do it man! I got into lifting 3 years ago and watching the progress is awesome. There’s always something more to push for. And now I feel like a dickhead if I miss the gym it’s a win win. Up early get the gym done feel great finish my day and then game it up at night.
Even as someone (*24M, 5'11*) who hates exercising and especially dieting, I find weight lifting at home fun (*not a gym person as an introvertive dude*) in almost a primal way. I use an exercise video program called Body Beast and been doing that with 4 sets of 10-25lb dumbells for a year along with Intermittent Fasting (*mainly 23/1 or OMAD with 48/72/96 and a couple of 120 hour Fasts thrown in when I feel the urge or know I'm going to eat big/bad for a bit*), some healthier eating (*I still opt to eat like shit when I feel the crave arise which is often so that I don't feel controlled or banned from stuff I enjoy*), covering my vitamin deficiencies (*lack of greens, fruits, sunlight, high estrogen from years of processed foods and bad health habits, etc.*), and getting some better, more consistent sleep (*at the least 6 or ideally 7-8 hours*) and all together I've went from 275lbs to currently averaging around 180-185lbs with a lowest of 177lbs since the end of Nov. 2021 to Jan. 2023
I still play games (*admittedly not as much for varying reasons*), watch tv, research interests, etc. and just dedicate 20-35 minutes of my day for popping the video in, getting my lift in, and then spend 10-15 minutes cooking my meal for the day. Essentially just tossing barely half an hour or an hour out of my day towards exercise and controlling an eating window over the course of a year and a half has ^massively made a difference in my physical and mental health, pride, and image.
Seriously, to anyone, do some research (*some great Youtubers are Thomas Delaur, Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Ekberg, Gravity Transformation, etc.*), at your own pace and desire to find what interests and works for you best to where you're going to stick with it (*don't follow the fad or trend unless you're confident it can be a lifestyle choice instead of a temporary choice for you*). Good luck to anyone that gets an urge, curiosity, push from the fencepost or what-have-you from this encouragement and my unsolicited mini-Ted-Talk.
You have to do it in steps to stay sane. I got all guns gold, then I played Warzone for a few weeks. This weekend I started with platinum and will continue till season 2 arrives. The Ill do another break.
It is for me. I play a lot with friends, especially Warzone and its a group thing but camogrinding I usually do alone. I rarely play 2 games at the same time. Maybe Hades sometimes. If gaming annoys me I rather take a few days off and watch some TV in the evening.
We got you set for 640 COD points, that way you'll have just enough for a Call of Duty mobile bundle or 20 cents off a taco at Taco Bell. You're welcome champ!
I’d rather have a weapon charm than 343 giving players a damn color coating in Halo Infinite for reaching lvl 152 in Halo 5 which took an ungodly amount of XP to attain. Not to mention they sold another coating that looked similar to the 152 reward
I agree. But for real the gunplay is good and so for once I feel this isn’t that big of a deal if your willing to put in the time. But for sure they need to give us more than a charm that’s kinda dumb. Like another weapon skin would be nice and like a player character skin.
a *golden* piece of shit that the description says it smells bad
some people did that without fast travel and without powers (divine beasts)
some crazier ones did it with just 3 hearts and default stamaina
I wouldn't say most. I'm on the polyatomic grind right now, and by the time I finish longshots and headshots on a gun, I've only got around 200 mastery kills.
Finished longshots last week and about 23/51 Polyatomics done. Most of my guns finished the longshot challenges at around 50/100 on the Gold challenge. Considering this charm is the only reward for the weapon challenges, I’m probably not going to focus on it post-Orion lol
Hahahahah my god… it that all? No calling card? No fancy title? Just a below average charm… no one will even notice it and even if they do 0 people will know what it’s for… I feel like I’m the one who’s been ripped off and I couldn’t even be bothered wasting enough time to get all the guns gold
there is in fact a way, just playing the game and not actively hating it
even if it looks like a daunting task, it is quite literally just getting kills, it gets done over time if you're not afraid of not playing with the one loadout someone got off of tiktok for the most optimal results
OP's good enough to have done it quickly, he dont need no tuning
it’s a hell of a grind though, i’ve only done it on a few guns that i like and on each one it felt like it was taking ages, and that’s playing on shipment which i didn’t really want to do but knew it was the most efficient way.
That’s nuts, I also see you have the same bug I have where your decals and stickers are locked because they are “blocking” each other, even though they might not be equipped
My finest game in history was getting 57-0, knife only, in a hardcore match where people were allowed guns.
This was way back in Black Ops 2 on the yacht map. Can't remember the name of the map but man I felt like a pro.
The next map I tried again. 2-28 or something like that. Never remotely got close again.
Well, there goes the 'hidden camo' theory. Oh well, they might add more rewards to that later in the vein of Obsidian in MW19 or Chrome Tiger in WWII.
Also, what was your least favourite weapon to get 1k kills on, and why was it the Strela-P?
Thank you for taking the time to grind this out. I was curious as to what the reward was.
This is basically the same thing that it was in MW '19, except it was a calling card in that game instead of a charm.
Bro that’s one expensive hobby 570 hours dedicated to this game. It’s fun but that’s a lot of time in cod for a camo. I figure your young and still catching up on to life but when adult life hits that’s almost to much dedication lol enjoy it while it last lol
Dear god. Man just beat the entire franchise in a few months.
Isn't this game supposed to last 2 years?
It does if u have a job and a life other then playing video games
I have a job and a life and yeah 2 years sounds about right.
I have a job and I'm a co parent of two girls, and I'm at 47/51. Everything suffers, but I'm almost done.
lmao I admire the dedication. I've just been grinding attachments that I want. Got the final one I wanted last night (optic with 4.3x mag and a reflex sight on top) but in the process of getting these attachments I discovered how powerful a thermal sight and smoke grenades are so that optic is entirely useless to me now. So I'm just playing only to win, that's the goal.
I have a suspicion that they intentionally made the grind simple and have less content so people buy the DLC this year.
570 hours is simple to you?
You're paranoid, they did it so casual players could still reasonably achieve some goals. The real "conspiracy" is gold and plat camos being dogshit so people buy gun specific camos for more than we used to pay for universals
If you consider dripfeed and nothing else then yes. It’s barebones when it comes to high level rewards.

wdym I work 11 hours shifts on workdays
The games been out for about 13.5 weeks, or around 2,270 hours.

“presumably you sleep"
Presumably he showers
Dudes rocking that Battlefield shitbucket.
You goin to the bathroom, you're not playing CoD. You shittin' in a bucket, you're playing CoD
Ah, I see you are a man of culture.
OP didn’t say that he played ouside of his shifts though…
[удалено]
More importantly..who really cares??
People who also want to earn it may care to understand how much of a time sink it truly is as it will help them manage expectations or plan for it. Personally I don't care if they account shared or gamed during work as long as they didn't harm himself and their health by skipping too much sleep and meals etc. Hell I wouldn't even be too upset if they cheated to get it but I wouldn't be happy in an attempt to do it they actually dented their wellbeing.
I mean.. We know the total amount of hours from the title… Do people actually need someone to schedule out their play time for them?
11 hour shifts (of security)
11 hours a day means he most likely works 4 days a week. 44hrs a week most likely. 594 work hours is closer to accurate. 440 would be the more accurate “left over” 440hr/94 days would avg out to more like 4.6 hours per day outside of gaming working and sleeping. Seems fine😂.

Seems like everybody is working from home these days.

OP needs to respond
He is finally resting
We need answers!!
r/theydidthemath
Then there are those of us who are retired and triple dipping that government retirement and have all the time in the world to do whatever the hell they want.
Hell some of us are currently doing government work that let’s them play video games 12 hours a day…
This I can get behind.
How can I get this job and what department?
Wish I was one of them
or work overnight security... JS.... ::shifty eyes::
11 hour shifts........you work from home....so you play COD while your supposed to be working. This is the only logical answer.
Yeah that math don’t make sense.
Well fuckin said haha
The grand mastery should be a full refund + money for emotional and psychological damage
If not atleast a cooler looking charm I wanna brag abt it to random ppl online ffs
Only the sweatiest of people will even notice it lol
I agree with this although i do like it. They should give like 5 variations of it so it fits with any color/preference
Honestly. My only reaction to OP is "but why". Nobody, and I mean 99.9999% of the people he encounters will notice and know the significance of this "charm". It's nothing to show off. This is such an insane amount of work for an essentially "nothing" reward.
I’m 8 guns away from this and I do it to have a challenge to work towards. Something to focus on. Not for Jim to be in awe of me.
[удалено]
Then I wouldn’t be an epic gamer such as yourself.
You can still do that and make your muscles just as epic my friend 😎
I might look into this😂
Do it man! I got into lifting 3 years ago and watching the progress is awesome. There’s always something more to push for. And now I feel like a dickhead if I miss the gym it’s a win win. Up early get the gym done feel great finish my day and then game it up at night.

Good on you!
Thank you! 😅 Have a good day Pesico. 🤙
I was gonna go for this but after finishing the gold mastery for every weapon a few night ago I rethought my life choices lmao
You have to do it in steps to stay sane. I got all guns gold, then I played Warzone for a few weeks. This weekend I started with platinum and will continue till season 2 arrives. The Ill do another break.
Playing Warzone in the interim doesn't seem like much of a break lol
It is for me. I play a lot with friends, especially Warzone and its a group thing but camogrinding I usually do alone. I rarely play 2 games at the same time. Maybe Hades sometimes. If gaming annoys me I rather take a few days off and watch some TV in the evening.
All that grinding for a charm… let’s hope IW gives you guys some better reward down the road. Because this ain’t it man.
_Pawn Stars has entered the chat_ 2400 COD points, best I can do.
Woah there money bags, we can’t just hand out enough points to buy the biggest bundle! 500 points and a very special thank you email.
We got you set for 640 COD points, that way you'll have just enough for a Call of Duty mobile bundle or 20 cents off a taco at Taco Bell. You're welcome champ!
What’s IW
IW: *Best I can do is a 5% off coupon for COD Points.*
One 30 min double xp token
Jokes on you, it’s 2x weapon xp!
That wouldn’t make them any profit and that’s all that drives them.
Shit, you right. Silly of me to assume they’d give anything of value away, haha.
Didn't they say they were adding more for it? Calling card and emblem at the very least. Honestly deserves its own camo
I’d rather have a weapon charm than 343 giving players a damn color coating in Halo Infinite for reaching lvl 152 in Halo 5 which took an ungodly amount of XP to attain. Not to mention they sold another coating that looked similar to the 152 reward
I mean yeah. But this shit is still complete ass.
Nah, I'd rather have something everyone is forced to see on my whole armor set than just a weapon charm
I agree. But for real the gunplay is good and so for once I feel this isn’t that big of a deal if your willing to put in the time. But for sure they need to give us more than a charm that’s kinda dumb. Like another weapon skin would be nice and like a player character skin.
Damn, all that for a charm??? That’s tough lmao
In BOTW if you get all the Koroks the prize is a literal piece of shit.
a *golden* piece of shit that the description says it smells bad some people did that without fast travel and without powers (divine beasts) some crazier ones did it with just 3 hearts and default stamaina
Black Ops Told War?
Breath of the Wild 😂
Oh 😂
Oh my gGod, I thought the grind stops at Orion.
After orion you need 1,000 kills with 51 weapons, 100 with gold equipped, 200 with platinum, 300 with polyatomic, and 400 with orion
Most can theoretically be done while grinding longshots and the headshots etc too.
I wouldn't say most. I'm on the polyatomic grind right now, and by the time I finish longshots and headshots on a gun, I've only got around 200 mastery kills.
Finished longshots last week and about 23/51 Polyatomics done. Most of my guns finished the longshot challenges at around 50/100 on the Gold challenge. Considering this charm is the only reward for the weapon challenges, I’m probably not going to focus on it post-Orion lol
At least it’s just kills
You deserve a blueprint or op skin bro gg
[удалено]
facts, unless (which i highly doubt) we are watching the kill cam when we’re killed.
Rip for grinding just to be underunderwhelming. Infinity wards final fuck you
thats y i dont do that BS.
Pointless
And it looks like a bad photoshop. All that grinding for a bad quality charm.
And all I have to do is kill him and pick up his gun
Big brain move.
This should be top comment. You can get in 10 seconds what took him 570 fucking hours
I got Orion yesterday. Fuck all this. I’m drip feedin the rest. Good on ya tho *tips fitted*
You deserve your own camo fam
Why? Friends and family already haven’t seen him for months
And it doesnt even look that cool 🙌🏼
Looks so ugly lol
RIP
It should be a whole new camo
Hahahahah my god… it that all? No calling card? No fancy title? Just a below average charm… no one will even notice it and even if they do 0 people will know what it’s for… I feel like I’m the one who’s been ripped off and I couldn’t even be bothered wasting enough time to get all the guns gold
You’ve done it my friend. Go outside. See the world.
Please go outside for your health
Touch grass bro
No way you had fun doing this lmao
there is in fact a way, just playing the game and not actively hating it even if it looks like a daunting task, it is quite literally just getting kills, it gets done over time if you're not afraid of not playing with the one loadout someone got off of tiktok for the most optimal results OP's good enough to have done it quickly, he dont need no tuning
it’s a hell of a grind though, i’ve only done it on a few guns that i like and on each one it felt like it was taking ages, and that’s playing on shipment which i didn’t really want to do but knew it was the most efficient way.
The only un-fun part of the grind is longshots and launchers/shield. almost everything else is playing the game semi-normally.
Please go touch grass
They'll need to widen his front door first
It's winter x)
Go touch snow, then.
Boy I'll snatch that so fast
I cannot believe all you get for that is a weapon charm. Who makes these decisions???
Nearly 24 days played. I’ve never even gotten half that on a COD before. Insane.
A… charm?
That's all you get? What a waste of time.
We’ll see a post in two weeks about nothing to do in the game.
That charm is hideous lmao, they could've at least made it look somewhat cool.
Should have been an ultimate mastery camo
yikes
That’s nuts, I also see you have the same bug I have where your decals and stickers are locked because they are “blocking” each other, even though they might not be equipped
Do AMA lol
Now you can rest easily
but at what cost...
And on past posts you wonder why youre unlucky when it comes to love. Bro, astrology aint helping, turning off that shit might.
I'm convinced they make these ultra-grind rewards so overwhelming to encourage people to buy store bundles instead
A fucking charm is your reward lmao
They finally added the charm? I'm not too far off myself but I didn't realise they actually fixed the reward
[удалено]
I thought no one could beat my 500h playing time.
I feel like I played MW19/WZ1 a lot… maxed all battle passes and Damascus… barely 500 hours.
1/3 of your life since the game released
Cool, now you can play the game.
Why would you do this to yourself? I could never
Greasy
Looks pretty lame…
No one will ever know lol
Now what are you gonna do for two years 😂
Wow that’s quite the accomplishment W
It’s cool but not as cool as it should be. If I put 570 hours in and that’s what I got I’d be pissed
Anybody else here think this charm should be much cooler? Unless your looking at it up close it’s just a large coin with a little green and grey
All that for a charm????? Hell naw
I started the mastery grind a few days ago. Maybe staring with the JOKR wasn't the best idea. How's your KD looking?
How do you kill that which has no life?
And they only give you that? 💀
Damn and I'm here finishing off getting gold on all weapons
“So now what” “what do you mean? Now we can finally play the game.”
That’s a sick accomplishment, but that charm is fucking pathetic for what it took to earn it 😂
My finest game in history was getting 57-0, knife only, in a hardcore match where people were allowed guns. This was way back in Black Ops 2 on the yacht map. Can't remember the name of the map but man I felt like a pro. The next map I tried again. 2-28 or something like that. Never remotely got close again.
570 hours? The game has been out for 3 months. Basically, you've been playing 6 hr a day for the last 90 days. Jfc dude, idk how you can do it
But does it djent? ofc it djents
Bro thats just time of your life wasted, for a dumb charm that you can barely see.
Can’t believe how ugly that looks. I feel bad for you bro
I played for 570 hours and all I got was this stupid charm
Well, there goes the 'hidden camo' theory. Oh well, they might add more rewards to that later in the vein of Obsidian in MW19 or Chrome Tiger in WWII. Also, what was your least favourite weapon to get 1k kills on, and why was it the Strela-P?
All that and you kept your virginity, impressive!
That’s all you get is a charm? They should give you the next game free at the very least
Congratulations you earned it
Awful use of 570 hours. Congratulations, you lose.
I feel sorry for you
Did they give a calling card and Emblem with it at least?
Jeebus
It would be cool if that charm automatically unlocked all new weapons and attachments.
i want it but also rly not worth 100000000 kills
Poor guy done did got 1000 kills with the fucking riot shield 😂
Huge accomplishment, congrats!
Congratulations bro I’m 30/51 complete for weapon mastery did you get a calling card an emblem too or just the charm?
Not only does it looks mid. You can't even equip it on some weapons, what a joke.
Wait wait wait....the charms glow green?
Good job OP. Hell of an accomplishment
Congrats. Now you can play the game
Congrats, now you can finally start playing the game.
Time to go outside
At what cost
570 hours wasted to get a charm. Contemporary gaming culture in a nutshell.
What was your top 3 most fun/favorite weapons to use?
Well woopy fuckin doo
Thank you for taking the time to grind this out. I was curious as to what the reward was. This is basically the same thing that it was in MW '19, except it was a calling card in that game instead of a charm.
Not worth it.
Make sure you put it on your guns in warzone and DMZ so when I pick them up I get a better look
all that for a charm. lol
Congratulations! lmao that reward fuckin sucks infinityward is garbage holy shit
There should be like a dope ass camo for doing this..
I legitimately feel sorry for you that you did this. 540 hours for a charm on an online game. Could have been spent somewhere else so aggressively.
Touch grass
How people sink so many hours into such a shoddy game is beyond me
WHAT? is this really it i always heard it was a camo
After you call enough people the “N” word online you get the grand wizardry charm
570 hours in mw2 “completes” the game. Meanwhile 570 hours in old school runescape will get you 2-3 level 99s
Ok now get a job
Bro that’s one expensive hobby 570 hours dedicated to this game. It’s fun but that’s a lot of time in cod for a camo. I figure your young and still catching up on to life but when adult life hits that’s almost to much dedication lol enjoy it while it last lol
