Black Ops 2: weapon levels aren’t lost after you Prestige

4.6
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 changes up a lot of old truths regarding the series’ mulitplayer, and it seems that Prestige will be changing slightly too, according to Treyarch’s David Vonderhaar.

Taking to Twitter to answers some fan questions, Vonderhaar shed light on Black Ops 2′s tweaked Prestige format, “Just got this bug from QA. ‘Weapon levels are given after unlocking a gun that was leveled up on a past level progression.’ That’s what we call NAB. Not a bug.”

“If you Prestige and unlock the gun, you’ll pick up right where you left off,” he continued, “If something has been a certain way a long time, the assumption when it doesn’t work the way it has in the past is that it is a bug.”

So what he’s basically saying is that, say you unlock a weapon on your first multiplayer playthrough, then rank it up to level 10. You will lose that weapon after you Prestige, but if you unlock it a second time, it will start off at level 10.

Phew, everyone got that? Good.

VisionaryMGMT oh goodie, no challenge! Why would you do this? the whole point of prestiging is so that you can start over with a incentive?

Yeah it's going to be too easy, every prestige your getting about 3 maybe 4 guns max level(Gold maybe?) and when you prestige you're still having them max level(GOLD?!) and it doesn't seem like a challange. I think they want more people to prestige.


I dont think they said anywhere that the levels would be as easy to get as MW3, or that gold guns would even be unlocked by level rank. For all we know the credit system is back nd you have to buy all of your stuff. And for the challenge, you have challenges and just over-all play to have challenge.

You'll have high level guns too, so they won't have an advantage.
