Customizing Paint Jobs In Bo3: Copy And Paste Guide

how to copy and paste paint jobs on bo3

There are several methods to copy and paste paint jobs in Black Ops 3 (BO3). One method involves performing a glitch that allows you to transfer paint jobs from one weapon to another. This can be done by hovering over the desired paint job, backing out, selecting the weapon to transfer to, pressing A/X, and then saving. Another method involves duplicating paint jobs by closing the BO3 app, disconnecting from the internet, navigating to Multiplayer, connecting a second controller, starting the game, reconnecting to the internet, joining a friend's multiplayer lobby, creating a class, and then accessing paint jobs. Additionally, there are other speculated methods discussed by players, such as utilizing the Custom Games UI Stack Glitch or performing specific button combinations.

Transferring paint jobs between weapons

To transfer paint jobs between weapons in BO3, you can try the following:

  • Hover over the paint job you want to transfer.
  • Back out of it and click on the weapon you want to transfer it to; the weapon you choose should show no selection.
  • Press A or X, which should bring up the editor with the decals.
  • Back out of the editor and click save.

Please note that this method will transfer the paint job, not copy it, so the original weapon will lose its paint job, and the paint job may look disfigured or skewed on the new weapon due to the different dimensions of the canvas.

Another method for transferring paint jobs between weapons involves a glitch:

  • Add any gun you want the item on to a public match.
  • Do the Custom Games UI Stack Glitch (1 controller, PS4/Xbox One).
  • Your friend will take you to custom games.
  • Find the weapon you want to transfer the paint job to (the one you added in step 1).
  • Hover over the paint job.
  • Tell your friend to go to a public match.
  • Press A or X.
  • Back out three times, then get kicked to save the paint job.

Using the PS4 centre button

To copy and paste paint jobs in BO3 using the PS4 centre button, follow these steps:

Firstly, close the BO3 app and disconnect your device from the internet. Then, reopen the app and navigate to Multiplayer. Connect a second controller to the account with the paint jobs you want to copy. Start a game and reconnect to the internet while the game is starting. Once you can spawn in, hold the PS button with controller 1 (C1) and join a friend who is in a multiplayer lobby. You will be kicked once you see the local lobby with controller 2 (C2). Press Options and hover over the clan tag until you join your friend's lobby.

Once you're in your friend's lobby, you will be kicked or the game will stack, and controller 2 will need to reconnect. Now, go to 'Create a Class' with C1, and then with C2, go to Options with R1 and then back to Paintjobs with L1.

From here, you can choose the paint job you want to copy and transfer it to the gun you want. You can also copy any paint job and transfer it to any weapon.

Another method to copy and paste paint jobs involves performing the Custom Games UI Stack Glitch with one controller. First, add any gun you want the item on in a public match. Then, perform the glitch and have your friend take you to custom games. Find the weapon you want to transfer the paint job to and hover over the paint job. Tell your friend to go to a public match and press A or X. Back out three times and then get kicked to save the paint job.

How to download paint jobs

To download paint jobs in BO3, you must first enable User Generated Content in your Content Filter settings. To do this, press the Menu button from the main menu, select Options, choose Content Filter, and toggle the User Generated Content option.

Once enabled, you can download paint jobs by hitting the "Menu" button and selecting "Media". However, it seems that the ability to download paint jobs is inconsistent, with some users reporting that they have had paint jobs randomly download, while others are unable to download any. Some speculate that this is related to liking the emblem or pressing the start/pause button on the emblem multiple times.

There is also a glitch that allows you to download paint jobs. Here are the steps to do this:

  • Add any gun you want the item on in a public match.
  • Do the Custom Games UI Stack Glitch (1 controller, PS4/Xbox One).
  • Have a friend take you to custom games.
  • Find the weapon you want to transfer the paint job to.
  • Hover over the paint job.
  • Tell your friend to go to a public match.
  • Press A or X.
  • Back out three times, then get kicked to save the paint job.

Glitches and how to copy any paint job

There are several glitches that can be used to copy paint jobs in BO3. One method involves the following steps:

  • Close the BO3 app and disconnect from the internet.
  • Reopen BO3 and navigate to Multiplayer.
  • Connect your second controller to the account with the desired paint jobs.
  • Start the game and reconnect to the internet while it is starting.
  • Spawn in and hold the PS button to join a friend's multiplayer lobby.
  • Once in the local lobby, press options and hover over the clan tag until you join your friend.
  • In your friend's game, the menu will stack, leaving or kicking you and reconnecting.
  • Create a class with C1, then go to options with R1 and back with L1 to paintjobs with C2.

Another method, which appears to be a glitch, allows players to transfer paint jobs from one weapon to another. Here are the steps:

  • Hover over the paint job you want to transfer.
  • Back out and click on the weapon you want to transfer it to (there should be no selection).
  • Press A/X, which should bring up the editor with the decals.
  • Back out and click save.

It is important to note that this is not a copy but a transfer, so the other weapon will lose its paint job, and the paint job may appear disfigured or skewed due to the different dimensions of the weapon canvases.

Additionally, there are speculations and discussions about downloading paint jobs in the game, with some players accidentally downloading random ones and others suggesting specific button combinations to download paint jobs. However, it is unclear if these methods are reliable or universally applicable.

Using the Custom Games UI Stack Glitch

  • When you enter the lobby, back out with C1.
  • Add back C2 by clicking the designated button (X for PS4, A for Xbox One), and this will bring up the Create A Class menu of your main account.
  • At this point, you can use C1 to navigate the menus and C2 to perform the glitches.

Once you are done, tap O a few times to remove the stacked overlay and continue playing the game.
