Prestige in Call of Duty is a feature that allows players to reset their rank after reaching the maximum level for additional rewards and status. When you enter Prestige, your level is reset to 1, but you gain exclusive rewards, such as icons, skins, and challenges, while retaining progress, like weapon unlocks. It offers a way to continue progressing and adds replay value by rewarding dedicated players with unique items and recognition for their efforts. Let’s look at the Prestige system in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

How to unlock Black Ops 6 Prestige
After reaching Level 55 in Black Ops 6, you can choose to enter the Prestige system, bringing back the classic Prestige experience. Once you choose Prestige, you’ll be reset to Level 1, but you’ll unlock many rewards tied to different iconic moments in Black Ops history.
Black Ops 6 Prestige Hub
The Prestige Hub in the Barracks lets you track your progression, check stats, and preview rewards. Each Prestige offers unique rewards that reflect various Black Ops titles.
Call of Duty Prestige: pros and cons
Entering Prestige in Black Ops 6 resets your player level to 1 and locks all previously unlocked items. Your loadouts will also reset, and only your current Prestige stats will show, though lifetime stats remain in the Combat Record.
However, the following are not affected by Prestige:
- Weapon progression, Camos, and Reticles
- Weapon Builds (though the weapon itself may be relocked)
- Challenge progress and unlocks
- Store, Battle Pass content, Operator, and Emote unlocks
- Zombies GobbleGums
When you enter Prestige 1, you’ll immediately receive:
- Prestige 1 Icon
- “Nacht Raider” Weaver Operator Skin
- Access to Prestige 1 Challenges
- One Permanent Unlock
As you level through Prestige 1, you’ll also earn rewards every 10 levels up to Level 50.
Black Ops 6 Prestige permanent unlocks.
Each Prestige grants one Permanent Unlock, which lets you unlock an item (weapon, equipment, etc.) earlier than usual. Choose strategically—once you’ve permanently unlocked an item, it remains available even after Prestiging. After reaching Prestige 10, all items become available without needing Permanent Unlocks.

As you level up, you unlock exclusive Prestige rewards. Each Prestige is themed around a past Black Ops title, adding nostalgia to the journey.
