\ Weapon Prestige Attachments
What bo7 codes is
Most primary guns will unlock an exclusive prestige attachment once you have reached the maximum weapon level. (Level 47: Enter weapon prestige, first prestige grants unique part.
- Not all are equal: some are carry pieces (control/TTK/consistency), others are gimmicks.
Why it is important
When you invest in prestige items early, it reduces friction and improves your performance across dozens or even hundreds of matches. This is because the pieces have better control over recoil. They also have a more stable TTK. And they offer a wider map flexibility.
How to pick
- Must : Select one AR+ one SMG+ one range-bridging (sniper/marksman) gun as your starter trio. Maximum of each, and only once for prestige.
- ADVANCED: Label each prestige part by function. TTK gain. Forgiveness. Mobility. Precision feedback. If a piece boosts both accuracy as well as forgiveness, give it higher priority.
- Optional. If the weapon's prestige item is a niche piece or requires special skills to use, it can be parked. Spend your time on weapons that are of global importance.
Experience note
In real matches the recoil/precision upgrade often performs better than the tiny mobility edge because it keeps your mid-range TT inside a safe and streak-friendly area.

Your investment now will determine the future of fifty years. Long-term multipliers are strong prestige parts.
Fast XP, stack as many layers in-match as you can
Principle: XP Sources Stack
Strategy: Triggering multiple medal types at the same time--objective kills. streaks. multikills. headshots. Hardcore is a great way to make many of these medals easier.
Multiplayer execution
- Must: Favor Hardcore. As health drops, aim-on target becomes more often rewarded with one-shot, multikill, or longshot medals.
- Must : Run non-lethal streaks (UAVs, recon pulses, advanced UAV/HARP). Assist XP when you kill teammates using your intel. You also gain easier streaks.
Must: Farm objective experience (Dom-flags, Hardpoint hill). The kills that occur on the hill when streaking are often more effective than mid-map battles.
- Advanced : Carry assistable tacticals. (Stuns, Detection). You do not need to deliver the final punch in order to secure steady assists.
- Optional. Double your XP only if you can chain matches. The time is counted in real-time. Switching classes in menus will slow down the clock.
Execution Weapon XP
- Must: Hold the weapon you're leveling when capping/defending--those points feed the weapon's XP.
- Advanced : Find controlled long-sighting lanes and layer headshot and longshot medals.
- Optional. If you have a gun that is difficult to control, try rotating the map to a small one for multikills. This will help to increase comfort.
Multi-mode compounding
Zombies and Campaign provide XP and camo progression this year. Split the journey to ease pressure in lobbies. First, unlock/level low-pressure mode, then return to Multiplayer and complete medal-rich missions.
Why you should read this
If you play more matches, each one will pay out two to three time as much per event.
Priorities for leveling up: complete meta guns likely to be nerfed as soon as possible
Core logic
Launch windows tend to highlight TTK/handling winners who get tuned in about a week.
Time allocation
-Must: Pay attention to the findings and statistics of the first 2 or 3 days. Max and prestige a weapon that is clearly above its tier.
- Advanced : Use this meta gun as a carry to push slower guns forward. Swap to the harder gun only during favorable gunfights.
Examples: A SMG close-range with a TTK of 0.15-0.18s combined with a powerful strafe creates safe cleaning windows, allowing your marksman/pistols to secure kills.
Risk
It can take 30-50% extra time to level up after a nerf (higher accuracy demands, smaller kill windows) while early adopters are already reaping the rewards of challenges and streaks.
What you can learn from this
You can save time by trading your patch-cycle advantage.
Use new weapons to avoid painful grinds
Pain point
Even though launchers, some snipers/pistols, and melee can be boring, mastery demands that N weapons are completed.
It is a good idea to have a solution ready for you.
- Must: Keep track of the timing of the Season 1 launch (commonly, early December). The new guns of the season can count towards totals for mastery.
- Advance: Use your most frustrating weapon slots as swap slots. These will be filled up by seasonal drops. Same credit, less misery.
- Optional. For pure speedrunning you can do everything right now. However, for those who value their sanity or time, substituting is a detour that will yield a high return.
Why you should read this
It is not about enduring the worst of the picks, but rather about reaching the threshold. The seasonally swapped skills turn the skill pains into calendar patience.
Don't use Double XP to burn tokens and sessions in menus
Operating rules
- Must : Only pop the tokens after 40-60 uninterrupted minutes. Fewer stops = higher yield per hour.
- Must configure classes, streaks, or settings prior to activating a token.
Advanced: Once the matches are flowing, XP will increase quickly.
- Reminder: Tokens tick in real time. Treat them as you would a traditional punch clock and not just a simple toggle.
Why you should read this
Protecting the session can increase XP by 20-35%.
FAQ
Q1 : I'm a newbie and my goal is average - won't Hardcore make it harder?
- Not necessarily. Reduced TTK results in more frequent first hits and reduced recoil-control needs. Start with low recoil, fast ADS builds and rely heavily on intel.
Q2 - How can I manage my time in Multiplayer, Zombies & Campaign?
- If your KD dips or tilts, put Zombies/Campaign at the front of your playlist to stabilize weapon level and then move to Multiplayer if you want to get streaks or medals. Hardcore objective playlists should take priority if streaking is a reliable option.
Q3: Should I have prestige attachments on all guns?
- No. Focus on the main trio of players and current meta stars. Let low-value guns be replaced later by seasonal guns.
Q4 : How can I combine Double Weapon XP, Double Player XP, and Double Player XP to get the most out of them?
Double Player XP can be used when you want to achieve a higher rank or unlock more items. If you use both, you can ensure an uninterrupted, long grind window.
Q5: How can I reduce my mental load by only caring about camo?
- Yes: Zombies/Campaign for base progress - Multiplayer Hardcore objectives for headshots/longshots/multikills - Season 1 substitutions for the 4-6 worst weapons.
Summary
Black Ops is a resource manager. Invest in prestige attachments early to improve your comfort over time. Also, try to stack as many layer medals per match. Double XP session are important. They will help you to climb in rank as well as weapons. By guiding the patch cycle and not letting it drag your progress, you will have already advanced from a newbie to an efficient player.
