The Call of Duty franchise rewards hardcore gamers that enjoy leveling up in their games. The prestige feature allows gamers to start over from the very beginning, locking up any unlocked weapons, perks, and field upgrades. In exchange, they get cosmetics to show off to the community. That will again be a feature in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
So how do players start over in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2? That answer will change based on the time readers are glancing over this article. Stay tuned for updates and pay attention to the battle pass as it contains precise details about what will be gained with each prestige.
Prestige Starting Date - November 16th, 2022
At the time of the game's release and this writing, there is no way to prestige in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, despite it being a staple of the franchise. However, this is expected to change on November 16th, 2022 when the first battle pass comes out for the game.
For now, that means that all elite perks, once unlocked, will remain unlocked. For those who would like to start over in exchange for cosmetics, honors, and other goodies, the best thing to do is get to the maximum level of 55. Then, when the feature goes live, players can immediately prestige and begin the journey to the top again, unlocking whatever the rewards will be instantaneously.
If it works as it has in the game's history, players will be able to start over, resetting all the unlocked weaponry, field upgrades, and more. But they can only begin this process after reaching the maximum level. So get used to starting anew and get to know the M4 better since it's available at the start.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
