How to unlock the Jack of All Blades, Master of Guns achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 - Definitive Guide

You have to get all 8 specialist weapons in zombies to level 3.

There are 4 weapons on the chaos side, 4 on the aether side. There’s no in game tracker so you have to remember which ones you got to level 3.

Getting them to level 3 is easy. It takes about 6-7 uses of each weapon, I was averaging 15 rounds per specialist weapon. There is a number next to the weapon in the bottom right corner, that’s how you can tell what level it is at. Your best bet is to wait until you have a full horde before using your specialist. Fastest mode to do this in is rush, but not necessary.

If only aiming for this achievement, it will probably take 4 hours.

You don’t need to use the weapon after it turns level 3, so you can quit out afterwards if you’d like

As dizzy mentioned in the comments, you could use the supercharged crystal talisman and it will still count

There's also an Epic Talisman called Supercharged Crystal which automatically starts you off in a game with a level 3 special weapon. I used this talisman on 3 different specialist weapons and can confirm this does work towards the achievement.

Doesn’t need to be public lobbies. Don’t all achievements need normal difficulty? It’s been awhile, but I’d recommend playing on normal as is

@Inferno118 It has to be done on classic with no modifiers, but I can confirm it can be done on casual. Some achievements do have to be completed on normal, such as EE or achievements that contain EE steps, but the majority of them, including this one can be done on casual. I got it today just by going through all the special weapons strictly on casual and it unlocked no issue.

@ŤRIBULXTIONŠ Great tip!

I happened to have a single Supercharged Crystal and just loaded up all 8 weapons, 4 on Voyage of Despair and 4 on Blood of the Dead, on the last it popped. The crystal doesnt get used, literally just load in and then exit match. Took 10 minutes tops.

@Games Master
What an awesome tip. I can confirm this works. Loaded up the weapons I didn't think I had SP3 on first and it popped on the 4th one. Didn't use any of my Supercharged crystals either. Thanks!

Very true. I presume most people will be working towards other achievements at the same time and will unlock this well before they finish maxing our 25 weapons but I’ll add it in no doubt

Special Weapons are chosen in your class. These are powerful weapons that require charging and level up over the course of a game with with kills. 4 are available in the Aether Story (Blood of the Dead, plus the Classified, Alpha Omega and Tag der Toten DLCs) and 4 in the Chaos Story (the other maps). The quickest way to level up the weapons is to use it once a good number of zombies have spawned at the start of a round to maximise zombie kills, this way it shouldn't take too long to fully level up. Once the weapon hits level 3, you can leave the game and switch to another one. If you die before hitting level 3, you'll have to start over the next game as levelling Special Weapons are on a per-game basis.
