Key Takeaways

  • Prestige is not currently in the game so you can not get Prestige in the Per Season game.

  • You can reset your level and get prestige and level it up 3 times in the Seasonal levels.
  • You can get XP by playing multiplayer matches and completing daily missions to level up faster. 
  • You can also prepare for Prestige by leveling up your weapons and unlocking attachments.

How To Prestige

To prepare for Prestige and level up quickly once the Prestige system is introduced, here are some steps you can take:

  1. Reach Level 55: Ensure you reach the maximum level of 55 in the game by playing and earning experience points (XP).
  2. Understand Seasonal Prestige: Familiarize yourself with the seasonal Prestige system that will be introduced in Modern Warfare 2. This system allows players to reset their level to zero and rank up again each season, earning rewards and prestige emblems along the way.

  3. Prepare for Seasonal Ranks: Once the new season begins, you will start at Level 1 and can progress through seasonal ranks. Aim to reach the first Prestige level by reaching Level 55 again after the season resets.
  4. Earn Seasonal Levels: Grind matches and complete challenges to earn XP and progress through seasonal levels. Focus on multiplayer matches and daily missions to maximize your XP gains.
  5. Unlock Weapons and Attachments: Before Prestige, focus on unlocking all weapons and attachments available in the game. Having a variety of weapons and attachments unlocked will give you flexibility in creating loadouts and adapting to the meta.
