EDITOR'S NOTE

This guide uses confirmed official information. Recommendations are practical starting points; live balance and availability should be checked in the game.

01

Classic Prestige

Activision describes the traditional reset and rebuild route. This is the choice for players who want the climb itself to remain part of each Prestige cycle.

02

Regular Prestige

This path restarts progression while retaining unlocked content. It may suit players who want the prestige journey without rebuilding every class from scratch.

03

Before you commit

Check the live game menu for the exact reset summary and reward preview. Plan around your current class unlocks and any time limited challenge you are working toward.
