A more traditional prestige system returns inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6, with each new level resetting everything about your account and starting you back at level one. Or thatwouldbe the case except for the Prestige Token system, making its own return from Black Ops games past.
Every prestige gets you one token you can use to unlock one item permanently, regardless of the level requirement. You’ll need to choose wisely. Several items in Black Ops 6 are hard to live without, making them prime prestige token candidates, and worth an upgrade when using your precious earned points.
Every Item Worth A Prestige Token, Ranked
A good rule of thumb when choosing Prestige Token items is toconsider how important they are to your gameplay and how long it will take to get them back.
Choosing the Flak Jacket Perk or the KSV SMG as your permanent unlock makes little sense, as you’ll get those within the first ten levels.
The Stim Shot equipment can be a key part of a fast-paced slayer kit, and you need to reach level 30 to equip it again.
You’ll find many of the best items worth spending Prestige tokens on below, as one player’s ideal choice could vastly differ from another.
55
Wildcard
Perk Greed allows you to equip a fourth perkfrom any column, giving you much more freedom in crafting your perfect loadout.
33
Tactical Equipment
The Stim Shot quickly puts you back at full health when usedand can ensure you’re ready for more than one fight at a time or give you a chance to escape an otherwise deadly engagement.
54
Primary Weapon
TheAS VAL is one of the best guns in all of Black Ops 6, but as the last unlock in a Prestige, spending a token to have it forever just makes sense.
34
TheAEK might bethebest weapon in the game, so long as you can hit your shots.Its later unlock makes spending a token worth the cost.
44
Slot 1 Perk
The value of having both Flak Jacket and Tac Mask active via Perk Green cannot be overstated, becausemaking explosives of any kind less annoying is always a good idea.
43
The Jackal is no AS VAL, but it is a fantastic SMG that takes a while to unlock, andit can carry you through many early levels.
37
Never doubt the power of a good bullet hose like the PP-919,which comes with 64 bullets by default, leaving plenty of room for error across multiple gunfights.
While not as immediately useful as Perk Greed, theeight weapon attachments allowed by Gunfighter can help improve a lackluster weapon’s performance.
30
Scorestreak
The Napalm Strike has beenone of the best objective scorestreaks since the original Black Ops, and it’s stronger than ever in Black Ops 6. Lockdown entire sightlines with fire and watch your enemies burn.
42
The HARP isn’t quite as powerful as the Blackbird or VSAT of previous Black Ops titles, but it gives even a below-average teamreal-time enemy positions on the minimap, and even they might have a chance.
The SAM Turret can take down any aerial scorestreak in the game, including the HARP, and isso mucheasier to earn than Interceptors that it almost makes them a moot point.
47
Field Upgrade
Round-based Zombies is also subject to Prestige resets, and whether you’re playing solo, with friends, or randoms, the ability to go invisible for a few seconds will get you out of sticky situations.
25
Another entry on the list of best weapons in Black Ops 6, the SVD is themost forgiving Sniper inthe gameand the bane of anyone you see down its sights.
39
One of a few top-tier emergency buttons in Zombies, the Mutant Injection helps make mincemeat out of the hordes, at least for a little while.
40
The Model L isone of the few four-shot-kill assault rifles, and it handles better than it has any right to for its killing power.
