How to fix the Modern Warfare 2 gold camo not unlocking issue

Let's get things straight: You don’t get gold camo anymore because you unlocked all 4 base camos. In order to unlock gold camo, you have to complete the gold challenge which is to get 3 kills 10 times without dying.

The problem here is that the selection for mastery camos is bugged for PC, so players are unaware of what to do in order to unlock gold camo. Hovering over it with the mouse does not display any instructions on it, leaving the players clueless about how to proceed.

PC players either need to use a controller or use the arrow keys to see the challenge. If you hover over the top right base camo and press "D" (wsad) on your keyboard or right on the D-Pad for a controller, it should move over to gold and you will be able to see the challenge.

Well, the challenge is no mystery; get 3 kills 10 times without dying, as we mentioned above. So, complete this challenge and you will be able to unlock the gold camo skin.
