The much-anticipated Modern Warfare 3 has launched, but without the traditional Prestige system long-time fans know and love. This guide explains how the new Prestige mechanics work in MW3, and what do do after reaching the maximum level cap.

The classic system from the Call of Duty franchise allowed players to reset their level for exclusive rewards It underwent a subtle transformation with the release of Modern Warfare 2019, marking a shift in progression dynamics.

Modern Warfare 3’s current progression system revolves around a new-look weapon upgrade system that waves goodbye to the weapon-centric challenges we saw in Modern Warfare 2 in 2022. The new hybrid system combines a more traditional weapon leveling system with the Armory unlock system.

This guide will run you through all the details you need to know about Prestige in Modern Warfare 3.

How does Prestige work in Modern Warfare 3?

Prestige will be available to Modern Warfare 3 players once Season 1 arrives in December 6, 2023.

As it stands, the maximum level cap is Rank 55. Players can also rank up by playing the game, whether that’s participating in matches, securing kills, or completing objectives.

The first season will allow players to rank up past the current level cap of 55 and access Prestige ranks.

In Modern Warfare 3, Prestige will commence at level 56 with Season 1. Each season introduces five Prestige levels, each comprising of 50 individual levels. The breakdown is as follows:

  • Prestige 1 (Level 56-99)
  • Prestige 2 (Level 100-149)
  • Prestige 3 (Level 150-199)
  • Prestige 4 (Level 200-249)
  • Prestige 5 (Level 250)

Prestiging in Modern Warfare 3 will offer several benefits for players, such as the ability to equip and display special Prestige emblems.

Activision has promised to communicate more information regarding the Prestige system as we get closer to Season 1. However, in the meantime, we know that players will be able to expect additional challenges that only appear at Prestige Legel milestones. These challenges will offer players more difficult objectives and XP rewards, including animated avatars, badges, and calling cards.
