    • A message will appear, and warn you about the dangers of prestiging.
      • When you prestige, you will go reset to level one, and gain a new rank logo. You will have the choice between resetting all your stats, as well as any prestige, or unlocks; or unlocking a new Create-A-Class slot. You will also gain a token to permanently unlock any weapon.
    • You will be returned to level one, now prestiged and you will have a new rank logo. If you are entering First Prestige, you will also unlock an achievement called Welcome to the Penthouse.

Resetting Your Stats

    • If you want to reset your multiplayer stats, you must first reach level 55 on whatever prestige you are at, and prestige again.
    • The prestige option is now locked again, but a new option will be unlocked - Prestige Rewards.
    • A warning will appear, telling you about Fresh Start.
      • When you use the Fresh Start prestige award, your Multiplayer stats, along with any prestige you're at, will be reset. You will lose all your previously unlocked camos, and all emblems and calling cards. It will be as if you have never played a Public Match before.
    • You will now be level one again, and everything that you might have unlocked will be reset. Any emblems you have unlocked will be reset as well.

      Warnings

      • Be careful, because you can't return to level 55 if you've made a mistake, and you will have to level up to 55 again the hard way.
      • Resetting your stats not only resets your basic stats like K/D, but it also resets all weapon progress, and Calling Cards. Once you reset theres no going back.
