Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Prestige Emblems, Rewards, Prestige Master and Weapon Camos Revealed
Leading up to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s launch later this week, Activision has revealed a ton of stuff about the game’s Prestige system, which is sort of the endgame for Call of Duty titles. Not only have the Black Ops 6 Prestige emblems have been revealed, but we even get info about the Prestige Master, weapon camos and more.
First off, check out the Black Ops 6 Prestige emblems from 1-10!
Black Ops 6 Prestige Emblems
Prestige
Global System (MP, ZM, WZ)
Barracks > Progression > Prestige
Complete Level 55 and reach Max Level and you’ll face the option to take your grind to the next level: Welcome to Black Ops 6 Prestige. Not only has “Classic Prestige” returned in Black Ops 6, but it’s also the most rewarding version of Prestige that Call of Duty has ever seen – with rewards and each Prestige themed around a title in Black Ops history.
The Prestige Hub
Enter the Prestige Hub via the “Progression” button in the Barracks tab to view the full Prestige journey, preview rewards, and check in on your Prestige stats and Challenges.
Select a Prestige, and you’ll be able to view all that Prestige’s rewards (and your progress through them depending on your current level).
Choosing to Prestige
It wouldn’t be “Classic Prestige” if it wasn’t just a little… dangerous. Choosing to Prestige in past Call of Duty titles wasn’t without its risks, and that’s no different in Black Ops 6. Make the choice to enter Prestige and you’ll get promoted to Prestige 1, but it will also be:
- Reset to Player Level 1.
- All Level Unlocks will be relocked and must be unlocked again, except for Base Operators, Emotes, and Zombies GobbleGums, as well as anything you Permanently Unlock (more on that later).
- Your Loadouts will be reset.
- Lifetime stats will remain viewable in the Combat Record, but your stats elsewhere in the game will only show stats for your current Prestige.
However, the following items WILL NOT be relocked or reset:
- Weapon Progression, Camos, & Reticles.
- Weapon Builds – your favorite Weapon may be relocked but all the Builds you’ve created for it will be waiting for you when you reach the level needed to unlock it again.
- Challenge Progress & Unlocks.
- Store and Battle Pass Content.
- Operator and Emote Unlocks.
- Zombies GobbleGums.
Additionally, any item you have a Blueprint or Skin for will remain Permanently Unlocked through Prestige. This means that if you have a Blueprint for the AS Val Assault Rifle, it won’t be relocked when you Prestige. The same goes for any Equipment, Field Upgrades, or Scorestreaks you possess Skins for.
When you choose to enter Prestige 1, you’ll immediately receive the following:
- Prestige 1 Icon: Your first Prestige icon, which slots into the center of your Level insignia for all players to see!
- “Nacht Raider” Weaver Operator Skin.
- Access to the Prestige 1 Multiplayer and Zombies Calling Card Challenge Sets (more on Calling Card Challenges later in the blog).
- One Permanent Unlock (continue reading for more information).
Additionally, as you start leveling through Prestige 1, you’ll unlock a unique Prestige reward every 10 Levels (at Level 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50).
Prestige Leveling
If you took the plunge and entered Prestige, your level resets to Level 1, Prestige 1. The date you entered Prestige is recorded, and you receive an instant reward. Now, as you level up and re-unlock the Level rewards, you also unlock the Prestige rewards as well.
Welcome to Black Ops History! In Black Ops 6, each Prestige is themed around a game in Black Ops history, featuring a variety of rewards inspired by and paying homage to moments and elements found in each Black Ops title. For example, Prestige 1 features rewards inspired by the first game in the Black Ops timeline: 2008’s Call of Duty: World at War, the origin of Zombies in Call of Duty.
Become a Legend: Prestige Mastery Levels
There are 10 Prestiges in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. If you’re dedicated enough to complete all of them, you’ll automatically graduate into Prestige Master and enter the final phase of Black Ops 6 Career Progression. In Prestige Master, your Level rises above 55 for the first time as you are now able to climb up all the way to Level 1,000 and gain additional rewards in the process.
Still cloaked in mystery, the rewards for ascending all the way to Prestige Master are well worth the grind. Who will be the first to unlock theirs?

Redacted bits cover the weapon in a striking pattern, symbolizing the covert and secretive world of Black Ops 6.
Prestige Master: Legacy Prestige Icons and More
Players who reach Prestige Master Level 100 will gain the ability to customize their Prestige via access to Legacy Prestige Icons from past Call of Duty titles. Equipping one of these Legacy Prestige Icons replaces your Prestige Master icon and changes the way your Prestige Master status appears to other players anywhere it’s seen in-and-out of game. At Prestige Master Level 100, access to Legacy Prestige 1 icons becomes available. From this point forward, gain access to a new set of Legacy Prestige Icons every 100 Prestige Master Levels:
Prestige Master Level 100: Equip any Legacy Prestige 1 Icon
Prestige Master Level 200: Equip any Legacy Prestige 2 Icon
Prestige Master Level 300: Equip any Legacy Prestige 3 Icon
Prestige Master Level 400: Equip any Legacy Prestige 4 Icon
Prestige Master Level 500: Equip any Legacy Prestige 5 Icon
Prestige Master Level 600: Equip any Legacy Prestige 6 Icon
Prestige Master Level 700: Equip any Legacy Prestige 7 Icon
Prestige Master Level 800: Equip any Legacy Prestige 8 Icon
Prestige Master Level 900: Equip any Legacy Prestige 9 Icon
Prestige Legend (Level 1,000): Equip any Legacy Prestige 10 icon (or above)
Prestige Master players who’ve reached Level 100 or above can select a Legacy Prestige Icon via the “Customize” menu in the Barracks.
Become a Legend: As you reach the zenith of your Black Ops 6 career and become a “Prestige Legend” at the game’s maximum Level (1,000), expect additional, Classified rewards for your incredible progress, only unlocked and redacted when you reach Level 1,000.
Weapon Camos
Weapon Camos: System Overview
The Weapon Camo system has been overhauled in Black Ops 6. Inspired by Headshot-based Camo Challenges in past Black Ops games, with a mix of elements from modern Camo Systems you’re familiar with, the Black Ops 6 Camo journey removes many of the barriers that interrupted the flow of earning Camos in past games. The result is a streamlined and meaningful Camo journey for each Weapon. Also, for the first time ever, Call of Duty: Warzone will have its own dedicated Camo journey with unique Camos and Challenges only available to unlock in Call of Duty: Warzone (in Season 01).
No Weapon Leveling Needed
Unlocking Weapon Camos in Black Ops 6 is accessible from the moment you get your hands on a weapon; no Weapon Leveling required. Earn Camos at your own pace without any barriers.
Unlocking Weapon Camos
Each Weapon’s quest for the final Mastery Camo – Dark Matter (MP), Nebula (ZM), and Abyss (WZ) — is broken down into three steps:
Step 1: Military Camos
Each Weapon’s Camo journey begins with nine Military Camos that are unlocked sequentially by reaching progressive milestones in each mode. For most weapons, these are progressed by earning:
Multiplayer: Headshots
Zombies: Critical Kills
Call of Duty: Warzone: Eliminations
This means that in Multiplayer, just earning Headshots with a Weapon will progress through and unlock the 9 named Military Camos:
Granite: 5 Headshots required.
Woodland: 10 Headshots required.
Savanna: 15 Headshots required.
Splinter: 20 Headshots required.
Moss: 30 Headshots required.
Shade: 40 Headshots required.
Digital: 50 Headshots required.
Tide: 75 Headshots required.
Red Tiger: 100 Headshots required.
Military Camos must be unlocked individually per weapon. For example, if you’ve unlocked the first Multiplayer Military Camo (Granite) for the AMES 85, it can be equipped to the AMES 85 (in MP, ZM, or WZ), but not to any other weapon until you’ve separately unlocked Granite with that weapon.
Step 2: Special Camos
Complete all nine Military Camos for a Weapon in your mode of choice, and the next step in the journey is Special Camos! Each Weapon has two unique Special Camo Swatches per mode that can only be earned with that weapon only. Special Camos can be unlocked in any order once you’ve gained access to them, and each has a different unlock criteria, usually related to the strengths or playstyle of the Weapon you’re progressing.
Special Camos: Equip to Any Weapon
Once unlocked, Special Camos are universal and can be equipped to any weapon, as long as that new weapon has completed the Military Camos and unlocked access to the Special Category in at least one mode. It can then be fitted with any Special Camo you like and used in any game mode you like.
Step 3: Mastery Camos
With Military Camos and both Special Camos unlocked for a specific weapon, your Weapon Camo grind enters its final phase: Mastery Camos! As previously revealed, Black Ops 6 has four Mastery Camos available to be earned in each mode: Multiplayer, Zombies, and – for the first time ever – Call of Duty: Warzone (in Season 01). Here’s a look at each set:
- Multiplayer Mastery Camo: Gold.
- Multiplayer Mastery Camo: Diamond.
- Multiplayer Mastery Camo: Dark Spine (Animated).
- Multiplayer Mastery Camo: Dark Matter (Animated, Dynamic).
- Zombies Mastery Camo: Mystic Gold.
- Zombies Mastery Camo: Opal.
- Zombies Mastery Camo: Afterlife (Animated).
- Zombies Mastery Camo: Nebula (Animated, Dynamic).
- Warzone Mastery Camo: Gold Tiger.
- Warzone Mastery Camo: King’s Ransom (Animated).
- Warzone Mastery Camo: Catalyst (Animated).
- Warzone Mastery Camo: Abyss (Animated, Dynamic).
Dynamic Mastery Camos: For the first time in Call of Duty, the final Mastery Camo in each mode has dynamic elements that change as you fire your weapon for maximum visual impact.
How to Unlock Mastery Camos
Mastery Camos require full participation in the Camo System to access and unlock.
Mastery Camo Tier 1: Gold (Multiplayer), Mystic Gold (Zombies) & Gold Tiger (Call of Duty: Warzone)
Access by earning all nine Military Camos and two Special Camos in the corresponding mode, and then complete the applicable Camo Challenge.
Mastery Camo Tier 2: Diamond (Multiplayer), Opal (Zombies) & King’s Ransom (Call of Duty: Warzone)
Access by earning Mastery Camo Tier 1 for the designated number of Weapons in one Weapon Class in the corresponding mode, and then complete the applicable Camo Challenge. For example, in Multiplayer players must earn Gold Camo on seven Assault Rifles before they gain access to the Diamond Camo Challenge on those Weapons.
Mastery Camo Tier 3: Dark Spine (Multiplayer), Afterlife (Zombies) & Catalyst (Call of Duty: Warzone)
Access by earning Mastery Camo Tier 2 for the designated number of Weapons across multiple Weapon Classes in the corresponding mode, and then complete the applicable Camo Challenge. For example, a Multiplayer player must earn Diamond Camo on 33 Weapons (the number of launch Weapons in Black Ops 6) before they gain access to the Dark Spin Camo Challenge on those Weapons.
Mastery Camo Tier 4: Dark Matter (Multiplayer), Nebula (Zombies) & Abyss (Call of Duty: Warzone)
Access by earning Mastery Camo Tier 2 for the designated number of Weapons across multiple Weapon Classes in the corresponding mode, and then complete the applicable Camo Challenge. For example, a Multiplayer player must earn Dark Spine Camo on 33 Weapons (the number of launch Weapons in Black Ops 6) before they gain access to the Dark Matter Camo Challenge on those Weapons.
Just like Military Camos, Mastery Camos must be unlocked individually with each Weapon and once unlocked can only be used with that Weapon. For example, if you’ve unlocked Gold Camo for the AMES 85, it can be equipped to the AMES 85 anywhere you use it, but not to any other weapon until you’ve separately unlocked Gold with that weapon.
