Classic Prestige System Explained

Choosing to Prestige in past Call of Duty titles wasn’t without its risks, and that’s no different in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Make the choice to enter Prestige and you’ll get promoted to Prestige 1, but it will also be:

  • Reset to Player Level 1.
  • All Level Unlocks will be relocked and must be unlocked again, except for Base Operators, Emotes, and Zombies GobbleGums, as well as anything you permanently unlock.
  • Your loadouts will be reset.
  • Lifetime stats will remain viewable in the Combat Record, but your stats elsewhere in the game will only show stats for your current Prestige. 

However, the following items WILL NOT be relocked or reset:

  • Weapon Progression, Camos, & Reticles
  • Weapon Builds: Your favourite weapon may be relocked but all the builds you’ve created for it will be waiting for you when you reach the level needed to unlock it again
  • Challenge Progress & Unlocks
  • Store and Battle Pass Content.
  • Operator and Emote Unlocks
  • Zombies GobbleGums
