CoD: Black Ops 6 Player Hit Prestige Level 1,000 Using Zombies Exploit, Rewards Revealed

Until recently, the final Prestige rewards for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone have been a secret, with players racing to compete for the chance to become the first in the world to hit Prestige Master level 1,000. Now a player has seemingly reached the final level, revealing these coveted rewards to the community after using exploits to level up more quickly.

Black Ops 6 returns Call of Duty’s classic Prestige system, which gives players the option of Prestiging to higher levels for additional rewards. Prestiging in Black Ops 6 resets a player’s level back to level 1 and requires them to unlock the game’s content all over again. It’s a lengthy grind just reaching the 10th and final Prestige, but the race to level 1,000 should’ve taken players much longer to achieve due to the enormous amounts of XP needed to reach the final level.

However, a Black Ops 6 player named “Aldredd” created a Twitter/X account under the name “Beamishh” to share the achievement and screenshots of the final rewards. The player does reply to one of their posts to confirm that Zombies exploits were used to level up, allowing them to grind out levels faster than other players.

It’s uncertain which specific exploits were used, but it was seemingly related to AFK glitches to allow the player to leave their Xbox on and still farm XP. Treyarch has worked to patch Zombies exploits for various map areas and unintended ways to earn XP faster, but new exploits are often still discovered.

For the rewards, the level-1,000 milestone includes an operator skin for Eric Samuels, who is a character from the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 campaign. Additional rewards include an emblem, spray, gobblegum pack, loading screen, and a PP-919 weapon blueprint.

These final rewards don’t look fancy, which some players might find disappointing, but other players might be excited that the rewards could be teasing the future of Call of Duty. Black Ops 2 missions tackled storylines in both 1980 and 2025, and Eric Samuels was part of the Secret Service detail protecting the president during the drone attack on Los Angeles in 2025. Samuel’s Black Ops 6 skin features futuristic armor, and the weapon blueprint’s in-game description says, “Get a glimpse of the day after tomorrow with the Enigma Tech weapon blueprint.”

Activision hasn’t revealed any details about next year’s Call of Duty game, but, reportedly, it looks to be a Black Ops 2 sequel. Microsoft’s future design plans for Call of Duty also seemingly leaked, which discusses a new committee that could decide on what features and innovations get implemented into the game.

In other Call of Duty news, Activision has revealed a Squid Game collaboration is coming to Black Ops 6 and Warzone in 2025.
