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.

Dark_Vader I read it 3 times and I still am lost if you keep it or lose it


You lose your gun until you unlock it in the next prestige, then it will be the same level from your last prestige.

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.

Actually in a interview they stated there is not a credit system this time

wooooo!! I like this change!

IIIIPosted:

wait so im confused, are there still gold guns? or is there something after gold?

THis wouldnt make sense because some people get bored and like to rank up guns so if we get all of our guns maxed out on the first prestige, its going to get boring not being able to rank it up and we won't be able to get gun xp challenges like in mw3
