PRESTIGE
Prestige
10 Prestige ranks, then Prestige Master up to level 1,000 (Prestige Legend). At level 55 and at every Prestige you pick one of two paths:
Classic
Resets unlocks and Create-a-Class, and gives you +20% XP, one Permanent Unlock Token and bonus cosmetics.
Regular
Back to level 1, keeping every unlock and class.
The Permanent Unlock Token keeps one item unlocked forever. Spend it on a Perk, Field Upgrade, Killstreak or Equipment rather than a weapon.
