Levels, prestige and the grind

Level cap: 55. Prestige: Up to 10, followed by Prestige Master at Level 55. Reaching a weapon's level makes it available, but purchasing it in Create-a-Class costs one Unlock Token. A token is earned at each level-up. Checked and current — July 2026.

Normal Prestige resets rank-gated Create-a-Class access and requires weapons to be unlocked again unless a Prestige Award is used for a permanent unlock. Weapon camo progress and completed weapon challenges are retained; Fresh Start is the separate action that resets multiplayer progress more broadly.

This is the complete Call of Duty: Black Ops II weapon list — every weapon by class with its multiplayer unlock. Use it to plan your camo grind: every camo requirement is in the Black Ops 2 camo directory.

The original game released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows PC and Wii U. The 2026 PS4/PS5 release supports cross-generation multiplayer between those PlayStation versions, but platform storefronts and legacy entitlements differ. The challenge requirements here follow the original final multiplayer rules rather than assuming that every store offers the same downloadable content.
