CoD BO7 weapon prestige: How to prestige weapons explained

Weapon Prestige works differently to regular the regular Prestige system, in that there are only three Prestige levels to go through. These are:

• Weapon Prestige 1
• Weapon Prestige 2
• Weapon Prestige Master

To Prestige your weapon, you need to reach Level 50 with that weapon. You can then choose to Prestige, resetting your weapon's level and builds, locking all Attachments apart from Optic Attachments.

Once you reach Level 50 in Weapon Prestige 2, you will unlock Weapon Prestige Master.

This will allow you to level your weapon all the way to Level 250, at which point you'll unlock the special Universal Camo.

Depending on the weapon, you may also receive a special Attachment and will permanently unlock all Attachments for that weapon.

The specifics change from weapon to weapon, but here's a brief overview of what you'll earn from each Weapon Prestige in BO7:

• Weapon Prestige 1
  • Prestige 1 Camo
  • Prestige Attachment
  • Permanent Unlock Token
• Weapon Prestige 2
  • Prestige 2 Camo
  • Prestige Weapon Charm
  • Permanent Unlock Token
• Prestige Mastery
  • Prestige Master Camo 1 (Level 100)
  • Prestige Master Camo 2 (Level 150)
  • Prestige Master Camo 3 (Level 200)
  • Prestige Max Camo (Level 250)
  • Weapon Prestige Max Icon (Level 250)
  • All Attachments unlocked

Should you Weapon Prestige in CoD BO7?

Whether you should Weapon Prestige in BO7 entirely depends on what you want from the game.

If you want to grind for Camos, especially if you tend to stick to particular weapons, then it may be worth Prestiging your weapons to try and get the Camos you like.

On the other hand, if you don't particularly care about Camos, don't want to lose your Attachments or just can't really be bothered to take on the grind to get those Camos, then it probably isn't worth it to Prestige your weapons.

It should be noted that the XP you earn across all modes, whether that's the campaign, multiplayer, Zombies or Warzone, will contribute to your Weapon Level, so if you find yourself getting plenty of XP anyway, then our answer is "why not?"
