Best Permanent Items To Unlock Using Prestige In Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6

A more traditional prestige system returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with each new level resetting everything about your account and starting you back at level one. Or that would be the case except for the Prestige Token system, making its own return from Black Ops games past.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 – How To Unlock Every Multiplayer Weapon Camo

Unlock the iconic Dark Matter camo with this in-depth guide on Black Ops 6’s Multiplayer camos.

Every prestige gets you one token you can use to unlock one item permanently, regardless of the level requirement. You’ll need to choose wisely. Several items in Black Ops 6 are hard to live without, making them prime prestige token candidates, and worth an upgrade when using your precious earned points.

Every Item Worth A Prestige Token, Ranked

Using a permanent unlock prestige token to unlock Stim Shot in Call Of Duty Black Ops 6.

A good rule of thumb when choosing Prestige Token items is to consider how important they are to your gameplay and how long it will take to get them back.

Choosing the Flak Jacket Perk or the KSV SMG as your permanent unlock makes little sense, as you’ll get those within the first ten levels.

The Stim Shot equipment can be a key part of a fast-paced slayer kit, and you need to reach level 30 to equip it again.

You’ll find many of the best items worth spending Prestige tokens on below, as one player’s ideal choice could vastly differ from another.

Prestige Token Unlock	Default Unlock Level	Slot	Description
Perk Greed	55	Wildcard	Perk Greed allows you to equip a fourth perk from any column, giving you much more freedom in crafting your perfect loadout.
Stim Shot	33	Tactical Equipment	The Stim Shot quickly puts you back at full health when used and can ensure you’re ready for more than one fight at a time or give you a chance to escape an otherwise deadly engagement.
AS VAL	54	Primary Weapon	The AS VAL is one of the best guns in all of Black Ops 6, but as the last unlock in a Prestige, spending a token to have it forever just makes sense.
AEK-973	34	Primary Weapon	The *AEK might be the* best weapon in the game, so long as you can hit your shots.** Its later unlock makes spending a token worth the cost.
Tac Mask	44	Slot 1 Perk	The value of having both Flak Jacket and Tac Mask active via Perk Green cannot be overstated, because making explosives of any kind less annoying is always a good idea.
Jackal PDW	43	Primary Weapon	The Jackal is no AS VAL, but it is a fantastic SMG that takes a while to unlock, and it can carry you through many early levels.
PP-919	37	Primary Weapon	Never doubt the power of a good bullet hose like the PP-919, which comes with 64 bullets by default, leaving plenty of room for error across multiple gunfights.
Gunfighter	33	Wildcard	While not as immediately useful as Perk Greed, the eight weapon attachments allowed by Gunfighter can help improve a lackluster weapon’s performance.
Napalm Strike	30	Scorestreak	The Napalm Strike has been one of the best objective scorestreaks since the original Black Ops, and it’s stronger than ever in Black Ops 6. Lockdown entire sightlines with fire and watch your enemies burn.
HARP	42	Scorestreak	The HARP isn’t quite as powerful as the Blackbird or VSAT of previous Black Ops titles, but it gives even a below-average team real-time enemy positions on the minimap, and even they might have a chance.
SAM Turret	33	Scorestreak	The SAM Turret can take down any aerial scorestreak in the game, including the HARP, and is so much easier to earn than Interceptors that it almost makes them a moot point.
Aether Shroud (Zombies)	47	Field Upgrade	Round-based Zombies is also subject to Prestige resets, and whether you’re playing solo, with friends, or randoms, the ability to go invisible for a few seconds will get you out of sticky situations.
SVD	25	Primary Weapon	Another entry on the list of best weapons in Black Ops 6, the SVD is the most forgiving Sniper in the game and the bane of anyone you see down its sights.
Mutant Injection (Zombies)	39	Field Upgrade	One of a few top-tier emergency buttons in Zombies, the Mutant Injection helps make mincemeat out of the hordes, at least for a little while.
Model L	40	Primary Weapon	The Model L is one of the few four-shot-kill assault rifles, and it handles better than it has any right to for its killing power.
