Since the original Modern Warfare days, one thing that you would notice first when looking at the scoreboard is players’ prestige rank. You are sweaty, and you want people to know it. We are going to explain how to prestige in Modern Warfare 3 so you can show off the fruits of your questionable time investments as well.
Modern Warfare 3 Prestige Explained
We predict Prestige will become available at the start of Season 1, as it did in MW2. Activision has hinted about what prestige will get you in MW3 and how it works in this blog post and during the CoD Next showcase. Although Activision hasn’t officially revealed much, we can infer a few things from some of their posts. Here is what we have learned so far.
A lot of content will carry forward from MW2 to MW3, but rank won’t be one of them. That means you will have to grind your rank from zero in MW3 to get Prestige. However, the system should remain the same as in MW2. You won’t have any progression resets, just a continuous grind of levels.
The number of Prestige ranks should also remain the same. Players can expect five Prestige ranks to be added at the start of Season 1, with four additional ranks added each season. You should start preparing mentally for that 250 level grind right now since it won’t be easy.
Prestige Rewards in MW3
Rewards should also remain the same. Animated avatars and badges, challenges that reward calling cards at every prestige level, and an animated calling card every five prestige levels. Battlepass Tier Skips and Double Battlepass XP Tokens can be expected as well.
What to Grind Before Prestige Arrives
Season 1 isn’t set to start for another couple of weeks, so if you are already level 55, there are a couple of things you could start grinding before Prestige rolls in.
Attachments
One thing you should get a headstart on is grinding all the attachments for different weapon classes. If you are unsure where to start, take a look at our tier list of best weapons in MW3. Doing this will get you ahead of any emerging meta, and it should be one of your top priorities.
Operators
Another thing you should unlock is all the operators. Getting all of them won’t make that impactful of a change to your gameplay, but it will definitely let others in the lobby know how sweaty you are. Check out our article on how to unlock all MW3 operators to learn more.
Weapon Camos
Grinding weapon camos can also be added to your to-do list. This is also something that won’t change your gameplay a lot, and it most certainly isn’t something you can easily finish before Season 1 starts.
Weekly Challenges
Weekly challenges are something you should focus on completing every week. They reward you with camos, weapon kits, and XP. If you don’t play the game very much or are just not level 55 yet, they can be a great source of XP, and doing all of them shouldn’t be a big problem.
That sums up all the information we have right now on how to prestige in Modern Warfare 3. We will keep you posted as soon as new updates become available.
