Black Ops 6 Players Shouldn't Use Prestige Tokens on Battle…

Summary

Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 introduces new weapons, gear, operators, and events for players to enjoy.
Blueprints from the Battle Pass allow players to unlock weapons without needing to rank up after entering Prestige.
Players can save Prestige Tokens for weapons and gear not featured in the Battle Pass, ensuring strategic and efficient unlocks.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players don't need to use Prestige Tokens on select Battle Pass weapons, since a new trick grants access to these weapons without needing a permanent unlock in Season 1. Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will increase the amount of weapons available in the game, and players may want to be careful about which weapon they choose to unlock.

Launching on November 14, Black Ops 6 Season 1 will introduce a whole host of new multiplayer and Zombies content, and it will also mark the beginning of Warzone's integration with the successful Treyarch-developed title. Players can expect new maps, weapons, gear, operators, limited-time events, and so much more throughout the duration of the season. During the season, players may continue to rank up their weapons and enter Prestige mode, which is attainable after reaching level 55 for the first time. Since Prestige resets the player's level, some may be tempted to immediately use a Prestige Token to get back to grinding levels with their favorite weapon.

The Black Ops 6 Season 1 Battle Pass lets players save their Prestige Token for weapons and gear that aren't featured in the pass itself, as pointed out by Dexerto. Typically, players need to level back up after entering Prestige to unlock their favorite weapons in Black Ops 6. However, a weapon with an unlockable Season 1 Battle Pass blueprint bypasses the requirement. For example, the Tanto.22 Season 1 blueprint is an instant reward, so players who just entered Prestige won't need to rank up to level 16 to use the weapon again. Players may also unlock blueprints for the AK-74, SVD, and Model L weapons, to name a few. This should apply in future Black Ops 6 seasons as well, if Treyarch doesn't change the unlock requirement for Battle Pass blueprints in the future.

In Season 1, Black Ops 6 players may obtain the new Krig C Assault Rifle and Saug SMG as Battle Pass HVT Tier rewards, and blueprints for both of these weapons are awarded for reaching page 11 of the Battle Pass. The new Maelstrom shotgun, AMR Mod 4 sniper rifle, Sirin 9mm special weapon, and Power Drill and Cleaver melee weapons may be obtained from limited-time in-season events, which are not dated yet. It's worth noting that Prestige Tokens are not applicable to these weapons until they've been unlocked from the Battle Pass or associated event.

The upcoming events and new weapons will be available sometime after the season begins on November 14, according to the Black Ops 6 Season 1 roadmap. Treyarch will likely share news about the mid-season update and other new content once the season is well underway.

Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.

The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.

In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
