How to unlock Dark Aether in Black Ops Cold War Zombies

Unlocking the Dark Aether camo in Black Ops Cold War Zombies is going to take some time. It is much like the multiplayer version known as Dark Matter Ultra. Every weapon within Black Ops Cold War Zombies must have all camos unlocked.

There are 35 camos per weapon. Each weapon where all 35 camos have been unlocked is granted the Gold Viper weapon skin. Now comes the the hard part. Black Ops Cold War players must unlock the Gold Viper weapon skin for every available weapon.

From there, once every Gold Viper camo is owned in a certain weapon class, Plague Diamond will unlock. Each weapon class, or category, needs to fully completed. This means that every available Plague Diamond skin in Black Ops Cold War Zombies must be unlocked.

That is the final step to securing the Dark Aether skin. After every Plague Diamond camo has been obtained, Dark Aether will be automatically open for use. This will be a great way to show off how accomplished your Black Ops Cold War arsenal truly is.

Once unlocked, Dark Aether can be used in multiplayer or in Zombies. It needs to be unlocked in Zombies, but can be used across modes once obtained.
