MW4 has no official “rarity” label; this is the unlock ladder from easiest to rarest.

What else do players ask about MW4 camos?
What is the MW4 camo order?
Per the official Call of Duty blog: 8 Military camos (weapon level), 3 Special camos, Gold, Platinum, Harmonic Break, then the Divergence mastery camo.
How do I unlock Gold camo in MW4?
Get 15 kills in a single Multiplayer match, or 100 kills in a single DMZ match, with that weapon.
How do I unlock Platinum?
Earn Gold on every weapon in the class, then finish the class challenge. Assault Rifles: 50 headshots in Multiplayer or 100 in DMZ.
How do Harmonic Break and Divergence unlock?
Harmonic Break needs Platinum on all 33 weapons plus a class challenge (Assault Rifles: 25 double kills in MP or 50 in DMZ). Divergence needs Harmonic Break on all 33 weapons.
Why are some challenges marked unverified?
Activision has published full Special camo challenges only for the Han 86 and Sang 9mm. For the other 31 weapons we show community-reported challenges from a pre-launch sheet, clearly flagged, because the launch patch says some in-game requirements were corrected.
