Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has been released, kicking off another year of players trying to level up quickly in its fast-paced multiplayer. You can grind to reach the highest level and then reset it through Prestige to unlock various rewards. This time, you can also Prestige your weapons, which allows you to unlock some of the coolest camouflage skins in the game.
If you want to customize your weapons with unique camouflage patterns that stand out, you’ll need to reset your weapon’s rank. Although it might sound like a hassle, there are several advantages to doing this, and weapons can be leveled up fairly quickly in Black Ops 7. Whether the benefits make it worth it depends on the player, but many believe the advantages outweigh the drawbacks.
How to Prestige Your Weapon
Here’s how to do it: once your weapon reaches the maximum level, head to your Loadouts, find the maxed-out weapon, and hold down the designated button to Prestige. Prestiging your weapon resets its level back to zero, but you will receive a Prestige Camouflage that can be used on all your weapons.
Getting your weapon to max level is a normal part of gameplay. When you’re ready, select the weapon in your Loadouts, hover over it, and press and hold the button to Prestige. Keep in mind, once you Prestige a weapon, you can’t undo it, so be sure you’re ready before you do.
Although it might seem like extra work, your character’s overall level and your weapon levels carry over across all game modes, including multiplayer and zombies mode. Plus, using Double Weapon XP tokens can help you level up faster.
Prestige Camouflages
One of the biggest perks of Weapon Prestige is earning exclusive Prestige Camouflages, which are much better than regular skins. Each weapon can unlock six Prestige Camouflages in total, available after meeting certain levels. Some guns have more levels to reach max, so it takes longer to unlock all the camos for those.
| Prestige Camouflage | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Weapon Prestige 1 Camo | Reach max level, then prestige the weapon. |
| Weapon Prestige 2 Camo | Reach max level twice, then prestige again. |
| Weapon Prestige Master Camo 1 | Reach max level three times, then prestige and hit level 100. |
| Weapon Prestige Master Camo 2 | Level 150 in prestige. |
| Weapon Prestige Master Camo 3 | Level 200 in prestige. |
| Weapon Max Camo | Reach level 250 in Prestige Master. |
Performing a third prestige with a weapon will make it enter Prestige Master, increasing its max level to 250. You keep your current level, so there’s no need to re-level from scratch. Just keep leveling from where you left off to reach the new max for those exclusive camos.
Prestige Attachments
After entering Prestige 1 with a weapon, you’ll unlock special Prestige Attachments unique to that weapon. These attachments can boost your build and are specific to each firearm. To see what attachments are available, go to your loadout, select the gun, and scroll through the attachment options. Look for the blue diamond icon and “Prestige Attachment” label. Some are very useful, while others might be underwhelming, so it’s wise to pick carefully before prestiging.
Permanent Attachment Tokens
Another important reward is the Permanent Attachment Tokens. Each time you reset and prestige a weapon, you’ll earn a token you can spend on any attachment for that weapon. For example, if a particular grip isn’t unlocked until level 34, you can use your token to unlock it early and keep it even after prestiging again. Since you only get two tokens per weapon—one when you first prestige, and another when you reach Prestige Master—use them wisely to unlock your favorite attachments.
