In just a few hours, Black Ops 7 will be available, and players are eager to dive into the new prestige and reward systems. Building on the system introduced in Black Ops 6, Black Ops 7 brings a wide range of physical cosmetic rewards, including exclusive zombie skins, gobble gum packs, and loading screens, all tied to player progression through different prestige levels. Let’s take a closer look at the new prestige rewards and what players can expect in this highly anticipated title.

Classic Prestige System with New Twist
The Classic Prestige system returns in Black Ops 7, but with significant changes. Unlike Black Ops 6, where each prestige was tied to themes from older Treyarch games, the prestige themes in Black Ops 7 are inspired by real-world military roles, which evolve into personified symbols of the warrior. This includes some fan-favorite zombie characters.

Once players reach level 55, they will have the option to prestige, which resets their player level to 1. While most unlocks tied to player levels will be relocked, certain items like gobble gums remain unlocked. As an added bonus, some gobble gums will be granted extra one-time-use bonuses as players progress. For instance, hitting level 36 will unlock the Roundoff Gobble Gum, available for immediate use once unlocked, regardless of the player’s level.

Weapon Unlocks and Prestige Losses
When players prestige, they will lose access to all unlocked weapons and must re-unlock them as they progress through the levels again. However, weapon blueprints obtained through special editions (like the Vault Edition) or the beta will remain unlocked, so players can still use them even after prestiging.

The most exciting part of each prestige is the unique rewards unlocked at every level. Each prestige has a distinctive theme, and players will receive a variety of cosmetic items such as skins, decals, emblems, weapon charms, and more. Buying a cheap CoD BO7 Bot Lobby can be a tempting option for those who want to unlock rewards quickly. Here’s an overview of the rewards tied to the first few prestiges:

- Prestige 1: The theme revolves around psychological warfare, with rewards like the Echo Veil Operator Skin for David Mason, a static prison loading screen, and the Cipher Rap weapon blueprint for the MXR17.

- Prestige 2: Inspired by explosive ordnance disposal, players unlock the Core Burn Blueprint for the Echo 12 shotgun.

- Prestige 3: This prestige focuses on combat medic themes, unlocking the Lifebringer Operator Skin for Y Lin.

- Prestige 4: Players unlock the Mudline Blueprint for the M8A1, inspired by silent infiltration.

- Prestige 5: Zombies fans will appreciate the Ravagers Rise Skin for Dempsey, a unique skin inspired by the Dark Ether.

- Prestige 6-10: Each of these stages unlocks additional skins, blueprints, and operator skins, such as the Thunder Coil Blueprint for the MSMC and the Peacekeeper Reaper’s Mark blueprint at Prestige 10.

Prestige Master and Beyond
After reaching Prestige 10, players enter Prestige Master. This is where the true grind begins, as the level cap extends beyond 55, up to 1,000. As players progress through this new prestige system, additional rewards will be unlocked every 25 levels, including special operator skins, weapon blueprints, and more customization options. Notable rewards include the Hellbor Operator Skin, which resembles a demon, and the Sigil Fire Blueprint for the AK-27.

Once players hit level 100 in Prestige Master, they will unlock a custom title and an ability to change their level color, allowing for further personalization. There will also be new calling card challenges to unlock, including those related to zombies, multiplayer, co-op, and Warzone. Completing challenges, such as killing 666,000 zombies to unlock the Reaper title, will award significant XP boosts.

Weapon Prestige and Customization
A standout feature in Black Ops 7 is the weapon progression system. Players can now prestige weapons, starting from level 1 with resets at each prestige level. As weapons progress through each prestige, players will unlock unique weapon camos and attachments. For instance, once players prestige a weapon to level 2, they will unlock a special weapon charm and additional camos, including some throwback camos from Black Ops 2, such as the iconic Afterlife Camo.

Reaching the highest level of weapon prestige (level 250) will unlock all attachments for the weapon, culminating in a final weapon prestige camo that can be applied across any mode in the game. Players can also unlock mastery badges for completing specific challenges in each weapon category, earning both XP rewards and animated calling cards.

Zombies Mastery and Special Camos
For those who are dedicated to the zombies mode, there will be new mastery camos to unlock, including Golden Dragon, Blood Stone, and Doom Steel. The ultimate mastery camo, Infestation, will be unlocked after completing Doom Steel on 30 weapons. Additionally, new special camos like Mutilate, Slither, and Pathfinder will be available to zombies players as they complete various challenges.

The prestige system in Black Ops 7 promises to be an extensive and rewarding experience for players who enjoy progression, customization, and grinding for unique rewards. From operator skins and weapon blueprints to special camos and calling cards, the game offers a wide range of unlockables that cater to both casual players and hardcore grinders alike. With the new weapon prestige system and Zombies Mastery Camos, there's a lot to look forward to as players work their way through the ranks in Black Ops 7. The grind is real, but the rewards are well worth it.
