CoD BO6 prestige system explained: How to prestige

As someone who has been a dedicated follower of the Call of Duty franchise since its early days, I must say that the return of the prestige system in Black Ops 6 brings back fond memories of countless hours spent grinding levels and unlocking new rewards. The new twist on the classic system, where all 10 prestige levels and Prestige Master are available from the get-go, adds a sense of immediacy that appeals to my instant gratification tendencies.


The Call of Duty franchise is no stranger to reinventing some of its most popular mechanics.

As a dedicated moviegoer diving into Black Ops 6 for the first time, I’ve noticed that the game’s sense of prestige has been tailored to align with its live-service seasons. However, in this installment, Treyarch has decided to revisit the timeless prestige structure from earlier games, offering a fresh take on progression that longtime players will appreciate.

In addition to levels being reset, players have an abundance of prizes they can acquire as they strive for the prestigious title of “Master Prestige.

What’s the specific mechanism behind the prestige system in Black Ops 6? Stick around for more details about the updates and the enticing prizes awaiting you.

To prestige in Black Ops 6, players must reach level 55.

Instead of progressing through each season to achieve the top tier, you can access all 10 prestige levels and Prestige Master immediately once the servers are activated.

Similar to previous Call of Duty games, activating prestige doesn’t come without its risks.

Here’s a closer look at everything that resets once prestige mode is activated:

  • Resets to level 1
  • All level unlocks must be unlocked again
  • Loadouts will reset
  • Lifetime stats will be available to view in the Combat Record, but other stats will be reset

How many prestige levels are in CoD BO6?

Black Ops 6 features 10 prestige levels. 

Once players advance to Level 55 and achieve Prestige level 10, they gain access to an extra 1,000 levels and the opportunity to be recognized as a Prestige Master.

On the journey toward Prestige Master, various tiers offer unique perks, making it an excellent choice for individuals seeking equipment to showcase their abilities in the digital arena.

What are permanent unlocks in CoD BO6?

Each time you log into Black Ops 6 with prestige, you’ll receive a lasting Unlock Token that you can use at your discretion.

In every level-up or prestige, I’m fortunate to possess a unique key that stays accessible. This key grants me the freedom to open my preferred weapon or a handy perk whenever I desire.

After finishing all ten levels of prestige, further permanent unlocks become unnecessary since you’ll already have access to everything.
