The first season of Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) and Warzone has brought significant updates and enhancements, including the exciting addition of Prestige Ranks. This new season has not only integrated MW3’s content into Warzone but has also enriched the multiplayer and Zombies modes with fresh elements. A key feature that spans all three game modes is the revamped Prestige Rank system, an integral aspect of the player progression in the latest Call of Duty installment.

Understanding Prestige Levels

Season 1 introduces a total of five Prestige Ranks, allowing players to progress beyond the initial Level 55 cap. These ranks collectively encompass 250 levels, providing ample opportunities for players to demonstrate their skills and earn rewards. The Prestige Ranks are structured as follows:

  • Prestige 0: Rank 1 – 55
  • Prestige 1: Rank 56 – 99
  • Prestige 2: Rank 100 – 149
  • Prestige 3: Rank 150 – 199
  • Prestige 4: Rank 200 – 249
  • Prestige 5: Rank 250

Rank 250 marks the maximum level for Season 1, and players will retain their Operator Rank at the end of the season, with the opportunity to push beyond Rank 250 in Season 2.

The Seasonal Prestige Approach

Modern Warfare 3 adopts a seasonal prestige system, a departure from the manual reset process of earlier CoD games. This approach automatically advances players to the next prestige upon reaching the required rank, streamlining the progression experience.

Rewards for Each Prestige Rank

Achieving each Prestige Rank in MW3 and Warzone Season 1 brings exclusive cosmetics and challenges, offering unique ways to customize and enhance the gaming experience. Here’s what players can expect at each rank:

  • Prestige 1: Emblem reward, four Calling Card Challenges, Prestige 1 Mastery Calling Card Challenge
  • Prestige 2: Emblem reward, four Calling Card Challenges, Prestige 2 Mastery Calling Card Challenge
  • Prestige 3: Emblem reward, four Calling Card Challenges, Prestige 3 Mastery Calling Card Challenge
  • Prestige 4: Emblem reward, four Calling Card Challenges, Prestige 4 Mastery Calling Card Challenge
  • Prestige 5: Emblem reward, four Calling Card Challenges, Prestige 5 Mastery Calling Card Challenge, MTZ-556 “Venemous” weapon blueprint

As in Modern Warfare 2, reaching Prestige 5 in MW3 unlocks the exclusive “Venemous” weapon blueprint for the MTZ-556, adding a significant milestone for dedicated players.

Final Thoughts

The introduction of Prestige Ranks in MW3 and Warzone Season 1 marks a significant evolution in the Call of Duty series, offering players new levels of engagement and rewards. The streamlined seasonal approach and the array of unique rewards at each rank not only incentivize continuous play but also enrich the overall gaming experience.
