How to Prestige Weapons in BO7: All Camos and Rewards

The weapon prestige system makes its return in Black Ops 7 after last appearing in Black Ops 4, bringing one of the most rewarding grinds the series has seen. This system lets you push your favorite weapons beyond their max level to unlock exclusive camos, powerful prestige attachments, and unique rewards that can't be obtained any other way.

Every weapon in Black Ops 7 can be prestiged up to level 250, unlocking universal camos that work across your entire arsenal. Many of these are fan-favorite designs returning from Black Ops 2, including iconic skins like Weaponized 115, Cyborg, and Afterlife. The grind is substantial, but the payoff includes some of the best-looking camos in the game plus weapon-specific attachments that can genuinely improve your loadouts.

What makes weapon prestige particularly appealing in Black Ops 7 is the shared progression system. You can level up weapons across Multiplayer, Zombies, Campaign, and Warzone, meaning you're always making progress no matter which mode you prefer. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about prestiging weapons, from the basic requirements to complete camo lists and efficient leveling strategies.

What is Weapon Prestige in Black Ops 7?

Weapon prestige is a progression system that lets you reset your weapon's level after reaching its maximum to earn exclusive rewards. Once you hit level 50 with any weapon, you can choose to enter prestige mode, which resets the weapon back to level 1 and relocks all attachments except optics. In exchange for this reset, you receive unique prestige attachments, universal camos, and permanent attachment unlock tokens.

The system works independently from player prestige, meaning you can prestige weapons without affecting your overall account rank. Each weapon has its own prestige journey starting with Prestige 1 and Prestige 2. After completing these two prestiges, you automatically enter Weapon Prestige Master, which extends from level 1 to level 250. Within Weapon Prestige Master, there are additional milestone rewards at levels 100, 150, 200, and the final reward at level 250.

Black Ops 7 uses shared progression across all game modes, so weapon XP earned in Multiplayer, Zombies, Campaign Endgame, and Warzone all contributes to the same weapon level. This means you can switch between modes based on your preference or which offers better XP rates at the time. The November 13 preseason patch also increased weapon XP earn rates, making weapons level approximately 25% faster than they did in Black Ops 6, so the grind is more manageable than previous titles.

One important distinction is that prestiging weapons is completely optional. You keep all blueprints, camos you've already unlocked, reticles, charms, decals, and stickers when you prestige. The only things that relock are your attachments and your weapon level, though optics remain unlocked throughout the entire process. Once you enter Weapon Prestige Master, all attachments become permanently unlocked and you no longer face resets.

How to Prestige Your Weapons in Black Ops 7?

Prestiging a weapon in Black Ops 7 starts with reaching the maximum weapon level, which is level 50 for most weapons in the game. You can check your weapon's current level and maximum level requirement in the top-right corner of your loadout screen when selecting a gun. Different weapon types may have slightly different max levels, so always verify before assuming you're ready to prestige.

Once you've reached the maximum level, head into the Gunsmith menu and equip your maxed-out weapon. A "Prestige Available" prompt will appear on the right side under the weapon's description. Press and hold the corresponding button (Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox) to enter the Weapon Prestige menu. You'll see a confirmation screen that clearly shows what you're about to lose and what you'll gain.

The rewards for entering prestige include a weapon-exclusive prestige attachment that offers unique stats not found on regular attachments, a universal camo that can be equipped on any weapon in the game, and a permanent unlock token specifically for that weapon's attachments. The permanent unlock token lets you choose one attachment to keep unlocked from level 1, so you can use a favorite attachment immediately without grinding for it again. After prestiging, you simply level the weapon back to 50 to unlock Prestige 2, then repeat the process one more time before entering Weapon Prestige Master.

All Prestige Camo Tiers and Rewards in BO7

The weapon prestige system in Black Ops 7 offers a structured reward path across multiple tiers, each providing distinct benefits that justify the grind. Understanding what you'll earn at each level helps you decide which weapons deserve your time and which rewards align with your playstyle.

Here is a breakdown of all BO7 Prestige Camo tiers and their rewards:

The key distinction between tiers is that Prestige 1 and 2 camos plus the level 250 reward are universal and work on all weapons, while the Prestige Master milestone camos at levels 100, 150, and 200 only apply to the specific weapon you're grinding. Once you enter Weapon Prestige Master after completing Prestige 2, all attachments become permanently unlocked and you no longer face resets, making the remaining 250-level grind more straightforward.

Returning Black Ops 2 Prestige Weapon Camos

Twenty classic Black Ops 2 camos return through weapon prestige, with unlock requirements varying by weapon and prestige tier. This is a list of all returning BO2 Prestige Weapon Camos:

Most Prestige 1 camos unlock quickly since you only need to reach level 50 once. Prestige 2 and level 250 camos require substantially more weapon XP and commitment to a single weapon.

Conclusion

Weapon prestige in Black Ops 7 brings back one of the most rewarding progression systems from Black Ops 4, giving players access to exclusive camos and prestige attachments they can't get anywhere else. The grind to level 250 takes time, but the payoff includes universal camos that work across every weapon and classic Black Ops 2 designs like Afterlife, Weaponized 115, and Cyborg.

The system suits players who stick with their favorite weapons and enjoy collecting camos. If you rotate through many guns or need all your attachments available at all times, weapon prestige probably isn't worth the hassle. The attachment resets at Prestige 1 and 2 can interrupt your gameplay flow, though everything unlocks permanently once you hit Weapon Prestige Master.

Shared progression across Multiplayer, Zombies, Campaign, and Warzone lets you level weapons in whatever mode you prefer. The November patch also boosted weapon XP rates by 25%, making the grind faster than Black Ops 6. Focus on weapons like the MXR-17, Echo-12, and M8A1 that unlock multiple classic camos across different tiers to get the most value from your time.
