'Call of Duty' Blackout's Level System Goes to 80, Has No Prestige
As some Blackout players who frequented the beta may have noticed, a leveling system was already in place during the pre-release test. Starting everyone out at the base level, players might’ve noticed their level go up as they played Blackout matches, but there was no level-up fanfare or much attention drawn to the feature.
In an interview with Treyarch design director David Vonderhaar, Game Informer relayed a community member’s question about Blackout’s leveling system and asked if it would work similarly to what players have seen in Call of Duty’s multiplayer modes or if players would level up differently. Vonderhaar said that there is indeed a leveling system, but it’s not quite what players are used to.
“No, it’s definitely different,” Vonderhaar told Game Informer when asked if the Blackout leveling system was similar to or different from what’s seen in multiplayer. “Right now, there’s 80 levels in the Blackout leveling system. It is a performance-based leveling system. Like I mentioned, in order to level up, you have to get kills, you have to get to the top five or 10 or whatever. You will simply not level up if you’re not doing good. That’s very different than most traditional leveling systems.”
Vonderhaar went on to say that there’s no way to Prestige once players hit the max level, a common practice in Call of Duty’s multiplayer mode that allows players to rest their level and do the grind all over again with some rewards for the Prestige that increase the higher bases on how many times players have reset their levels. He said that once players hit level 80 in Blackout though, they’ll get “sort of the granddaddy of prizes” and on the way to that level “there’s prizes along the way with characters.”
“It’s not exactly like multiplayer where you go through 55 levels, get content, and then reset, and then reset, and then reset,” he said. “The Prestige is sort of the high-end echelon level which would be 81 where we give it a name. So there is a finality to the progression.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and its Blackout, multiplayer, and Zombies mode are scheduled to launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on Oct. 12.

NasyrColzeyyOrca So glad I'm not getting this game what so ever, nothing of it interests me in the slightest
blackout was doodoo but the multiplayer beta was decent
The BR was amazing, I didn't like any of the multiplayer beta besides the Heist game mode.
I felt the same way. Blackout is dope

Imagine BO4 battle royale but more like MW2, then again I feel like there are enough battle royales at this point. I do like this game but it just feels like they've recycled all the maps from previous games in a half arsed attempt to keep up with whats popular right now, cod just doesn't feel the same. I will probably end up playing this out of boredom and then giving up on it a couple months after release, i'll give it a chance since I didn't mind the beta, makes a change from playing Fortnite ;)

Made It's a BR mode we don't need to prestige.
Couldn't agree anymore, although something like FN would be cool too. Don't see anything wrong with what it's aining at though!
