Black Ops 6 players can earn Mastery Badges by successfully progressing with each piece of gear and completing the three Tiers: Badge I, Badge II, and Mastery Badge. Each Badge Tier will have a distinct in-game appearance: Badge I features a Bronze design, Badge II has a Silver design, and the Mastery Badge showcases a Gold design along with a Stat Tracker display.

It’s important to note that both Multiplayer and Zombies modes feature their own unique Badges, which are tracked statistically and can be unlocked for Equipment usable in both modes.

To unlock the Diamond Mastery Badge in Black Ops 6, you must complete the specified number of item types within each Badge Category, which will automatically grant you the Diamond Upgrade.

Where Are Mastery Badges Visible?

Since earning Mastery Badges will require significant effort, Black Ops 6 allows you to display them in your Social Menu, the Winner’s Circle after Multiplayer matches, and during the KillCam (just the killing weapon Badge). The game will display your top three Badges by default, but you can manually customize the ones you want to showcase.
