Black Ops 6’s Prestige system works differently than the seasonal model with Treyarch making a return to the franchise’s roots.
This redesign has been a popular complaint for years now. Withnew levels coming at a season’s launch, the progression system felt stale and bare-bones weeks into the title’s life cycle.
Black Ops 6 ditched the revised system for the classic Prestige system, with Treyarch aiming to deliver the “most rewarding Call of Duty” to date.
Black Ops 6 Prestige system explained
In Black Ops 6,all earnable Prestige levels will be availableat launch. That means on Day 1, players can reach the max Prestige without a seasonal time gate stopping the fun.
That said, the path to Prestige is still the same. Reach the maxMilitary level of 55, and you can enter Prestige Mode. Here is everything that resets after choosing to Prestige.
All blueprints and skins will remain permanently unlocked.
At launch, there will be10 Prestigelevels. Once you hit the max Prestige level, there will be an additional 1000 levels to grind through, boasting exclusive rewards for the most dedicated.
Every time you Prestige, you acquire a permanent unlock.
Here is a preview of some of the Prestige rewards.
After completing all 10 Prestiges in BO6, you get access to Prestige Master. From there, players have an additional 1,000 levels to progress through. Here are some of the rewards.
Players can also equip different Prestige icons after they reach specific Master levels.
