The iconic Cherry Blossom camo returns in Black Ops 7 as part of the Weapon Prestige-based legacy camo system.
You’ll need to bring the M8A1 Marksman Rifle up to level 50 before the Cherry Blossom camo becomes available.
Once the weapon hits level 50, the next step is to enter Weapon Prestige 1 for that weapon.
Upon doing so, Cherry Blossom becomes unlocked as a universal camo, meaning it can be applied to any weapon in the player’s arsenal.
How Does the Weapon Prestige System Work?
In Black Ops 7, Weapon Prestige functions as a reward loop.
When a weapon hits level 50, you can prestige it to unlock new attachments, cosmetics, and a universal camo.
After reaching Weapon Prestige 2, players start pushing toward the master tier, which caps around level 250 for select weapons and unlocks higher-tier classic camos.
Cherry Blossom is one of the early milestones in this chain, anchored at Weapon Prestige 1 of one specific rifle.
What’s the Fastest Way to Unlock Cherry Blossom?
From a strategy standpoint, to get Cherry Blossom as fast as possible, the plan should be: pick the M8A1 and focus your gameplay on leveling that weapon exclusively until level 50.
Use playlists with high engagement rates (small maps, frequent respawns) to maximize weapon XP per match.
Simultaneously, try to knock out as many base-camo and mastery tasks as you can for the M8A1 so that when you hit level 50, you don’t have leftover prerequisites.
Once level 50 is reached, go into the menu to prestige the M8A1 and activate Weapon Prestige 1.
The moment the prestige is confirmed, Cherry Blossom becomes available for use across all weapons.
