Black Ops 7: Prestige System Explained (All Ranks & Rewards)

Black Ops 7

Prestige in Black Ops 7 brings back the classic Call of Duty grind, but with the most expansive reward ladder the series has seen in years.

Everything you work on in the game, from standard matches to Zombies objectives to Endgame and gear XP, counts toward the same level bar.

This shared XP pool slowly moves you toward Level 55, which is the highest base rank in the game.

Hitting that level lets you Prestige, sending your rank back to Level 1 so you can run the climb again.

It sounds intimidating, especially since the level reset temporarily locks weapons, perks, streaks, and equipment behind level gates again, but Prestige is entirely optional.

You can stay at Level 55 forever if you prefer keeping every unlock available at all times.

How Does Weapon Prestige Work?

On top of the account Prestige, Black Ops 7 reintroduces Weapon Prestige so each weapon can follow its own progression journey.

Every weapon ranks up through standard levels first, then moves into two Weapon Prestige stages, eventually reaching Weapon Prestige Master at Level 250.

Weapon Prestige works differently from account Prestige, keeping all your camos and optics intact while clearing your attachments so you can rebuild the setup your way.

Each weapon’s Prestige track gives out its own cosmetics and bonuses, such as a permanent attachment token, unique attachments, a weapon-specific charm, and an exclusive Prestige camo when you reach the higher milestones.

Some of the camo previews suggest past favorites are coming back, giving collectors more reason to keep pushing.
