Black Ops 3: 1st Prestige (WHAT HAPPENS?)

Many have asked what you will keep and what you will lose after going to your first prestige. I'm here to show you exactly that and show you it is not so bad! Most of the stuff you were worried about actually keeps progressing even when you prestige. This means your camo challenges, calling card challenges, and specialist challenges will remain the same all the way though. You also keep your cryptokeys after you prestige so stock up everyone! Let me know your thoughts down below in the comment section. I'm pretty happy about the time I made considering it is a game that usually takes 24 hours to prestige in.

[@PrestigeisKey]

Thank you so much for all the support on this video so far!

[@buscostud]

What game mode do you play Prestige?

[@buscostud]

+Warjec correct

[@ompaloompa3803]

+PrestigeIsKey the primarily gunfighter 3 is a glitch when the gamecame oput they will be fixing that in a few patches when they realease the first update

[@iEmadness]

Thanx Man that helps a lot .. Anyway I thought I just say this So I have 2 KN-44 classes and when I prestige it it's supposed to reset all of my attachment that I've unlocked right .. It did for the class I hit prestige on but when I went to check my other KN-44 class I had all of the attachment that I equipped like 4 attachment.. I don't know if it a glitch or what I even play with that class and It continued to level up ?! I thought I just say this so people can keep there attachment for now before they patch it Like 👍

[@itsprophet310]

hi... you can only hold a max of 99 keys, Prestige

[@panderNotPanda]

2 days and people have already prestiged and got diamond

[@bigdingus6196]

ikr I'm only level 23

[@JSpartan]

+Eli's Excellent entertainment im level 53 but tbh i did sweat it all weekend xD

[@oldtimer5123]

+PDQ KZbin I'm only level 21 lol

[@alanhwang]

Just hit lvl 28 idk how people find all this time to already be prestiging lol.

[@involution718]

+eclipsiKYE5962 me i am prestieged and have diamond ars!

[@hyperionspy]

it take ages to level up in this game

[@EliteRoyalProduction]

I know right? I see 17k XP I'm like that should be easy takes me like 5 games! It's because match bonus isn't 2k for loses and 2k for wins. It's 400 or so XP.

[@EliteRoyalProduction]

+Jay 1k for loses*

[@sarangi2009]

Play ground war and play the objective lmao

[@hyperionspy]

+sarangi2009 I had a game where I went 23 and 7 with 6 captures and 4 defends and only got 3000 points

[@PrestigeisKey]

+asam YT I'll have a video to help you on that tomorrow :)

[@Maskym8]

This game is good but they fucked up the spawns.

[@alexgarza760]

oh yeah especially on ffa

[@alexgarza760]

oh yeah especially on ffa

[@unrulytdott2824]

And the campaign

[@parvatinana2884]

police St.john

[@keithlyons7856]

A1MIGHTY TR1STAN I play on Xbox 360 bo3 and there is no campaign but there is zombies does that count as campaign

[@damienvalencia2380]

If i prestige my permanent lock will be spectre

[@nuney6186]

no

[@A1phaz0ne]

+Damien Valencia Spectre is Poo. His weapon is practically just the Combat Knife and his Ability is hot garbage. A 2-2.5 second SEMI cloak that ENDS the second you do any offense action such as Melee, shoot, throw a grenade, etc etc.

[@damienvalencia2380]

+A1phaz0ne its better to use it if you know how to use

[@Connorthegamer9979]

I unlocked the m8a7 assault rifle and it was the best thing I could have done. Such a good gun.

[@tarrennimmow7640]

I would permanently unlock Flame thrower dude (Sorry I forgot his name).

[@d2theg870]

i remember watching this guy from like 4 years ago. Grew fast.

[@TannerBraungardt]

Thank you!!!

[@aidaxx]

Its you

[@bluebennybillionbih]

Tanner Braungardt Lol why u here fam

[@cloob1980]

Bro

[@woods2348]

Tanner Braungardt lol

[@flpjosh]

Taniel Braunginiemer

[@ebambino11]

thank you. just finished lvl 55. Now I know what not to unlock. you keep it real and showed your goof up. your dope!

[@hqrmony5051]

Seraph looks beast! I wish you could unlock skins for the specialist weapons!

[@Icarus975]

That was a missed opportunity to be honest

[@hqrmony5051]

IGNOR4NT, Buy what?

[@patrickkoch8472]

That would be awesome!

[@steveharveysmoustache990]

Skins would be awesome! Maybe the Wunderwaffe DG-2 for the Tempest!

[@hqrmony5051]

Grizzly Bear, Yep! Everybody should spam Vonderhaar to add skins for specialist weapons :D

[@zClaasic]

I remember when you had 32k subs in Black Ops 2, you came a long way man, you deserve it!

[@acat6821]

Im a cat

[@tarrennimmow7640]

A grumpy cat

[@acat6821]

+Tarren Nimmow very

[@dirkdiggler5647]

+A Cat You are a dog

[@stevenruiz7688]

+A Cat Aww, I love pussy.. Yum

[@bregonwebb8921]

+A Cat Grumpy cat turned out to be a bitchy self hating cat as per the movie. Not so grumpy as much as whiney.

[@anthonyjb0555]

HUGE thumbs up from me, I was so hesitant to click that prestige button, as soon as I watched this I had no doubt about doing it! Keep up the helpful videos my man!!

[@bal-2751]

I'm not in this game.

[@pingu9848]

+Bal -27 Kids, we're finally free!

[@hiphopoly]

sucks it was one of my favorites

[@The-Xclusiveeeee]

+Bal -27 Commando from BO1 will always be my favourite

[@momihititgetthecam5090]

+swayziee xclusive yessss

[@grindmodelizard6343]

I didn't prestige 1, yet. Primary Gunfighter 3 wouldn't be my first priority knowing that thanks to you. I'm all set with prophets most customization and i got a long way to go with KN-44 gold cameo because i need 5 kills without dying 5 times. Which will be one hell to finish achieving because 8 long range achievement, and no attachment achievement will be easy to get. I don't know why Treyarch will challenge you before you unlock most other cameos then challenge you again to get the gold cameo or the final costume outfit for your specialist with their specials.

[@JUNAID187]

Love how almost everybody claims a person has no life if they're a higher level than them on call of duty. People are getting bitter/jealous over a damn video game ffs 😂

[@johnwilliam7358]

It's fps

[@johnwilliam7358]

And he is prestige 3 that is sad

[@JUNAID187]

+John William how is it sad? It shows he's enjoying the game? Just because someone is successful at something doesn't mean it's "sad".

[@joelc.1591]

fr getting jealous over a lvl haha, maybe they need to work on their gaming skills if they're so jealous

[@m5kkarnal219]

+Joel Cons hahaha

[@ElizabethRamirez-tt4jd]

Thank you so much I was sooo scared to prestige because I didn't want to start all over on my outrider !!!!

[@bryanc2917]

If bo3 wasn't laggin like hell for me I probably would be 2nd prestige. Not bragging myself, really easy to level up in this game

[@Unkn0wnAznnn]

+Bryan Chin funny, it's not laggying for me :L maybe your internet?

[@xTimeWellSpent]

It must be your internet, and making it to 2nd prestige takes a long time. However I've seen a lot of people say that it's laggy for them.

[@tonsillarsnation5720]

It's your net

[@bryanc2917]

+tonsillars nation nope I play AW just fine. Just so you know I'm from Brazil and servers SUCK ping goes from 10-30 to 400 for about 2 seconds

[@bryanc2917]

+xNSQK I have yet to find a non-lagging match and I'm level 47 so yeah

[@SeanBlackburn1]

great vid, exactly what I was after in the way of info. kinda saw the whole primary gunfigther 3 thing coming though, bit of a bummer for you on that one

[@thegamechanger2058]

If I prestige does that mean when I shoot someone my bullets will actually kill someone instead of just bouncing off until they kill me with one or two?

[@dt3114]

lee mcshane shut up

[@_james5850]

Dante S *r o a s t e d*

[@I_am_Alpharius__]

thanks for the very informative video glad to see you keep a lot of stuff prestiging, tho I will do the fresh start first for the dark ops challenge but at least you keep the black market gear which is nice it's easy enough to unlock everything else. keep up the good work :-D

[@ohthatstnt5730]

YOU LOSE UR UNLOCK TOKENS

[@MrRdeocampo]

You can refund

[@sh0t65]

I have two questions: 1. Do we have a choice not to prestige? 2. Do you get anything special when you prestige?

[@xxhitttmanxx]

a long ass video for a 5 sec process wow

[@R3V0F3V]

Lol

[@larrythelobsterv6122]

lol

[@mhm3766]

Its about what happens not how to do it

[@syke_8967]

Thanks for this, this really help because i didnt know how to start my prestige

[@zacompetitivenerd6697]

Hi im here in 2021

[@MonkeeBoyBandit]

This helped so much, great vid man

[@tomchannell2728]

I'm so happy that it takes longer to level up because it means we get to play it longer without getting to master straight away and have something to work towards for longer

[@patrickestwick5675]

nice info..sorry the Permanent Unlock failed...but because you did it I can now avoid the same mistake as I was thinking just as you were for my first Prestige.

[@zweefnl1588]

thanks dude, exactly what i was looking for. keep it up

[@Zuyst]

Wait can you save a specialist progress before prestige or do you have to prestige and use the perm any token and grind it all over?

[@MrSteven156]

so Prestiging in a cod game is a good thing now. thanks for this.

[@emmarichardson4963]

Super helpful! You just earned a sub!

[@Terrorist332]

Thanks for this video. Needed this man!

[@NogHead]

I am going to challenge myself, you have 3,127 Kills in multiplayer before you prestiged, so I am gonna try and beat that with less kills but still prestiging. Nice job tho! I am only level 36 at the time i litteraly took about the last two days out of my week to play campaign. So right now I have to start getting on the grind again.

[@TyrbeTrost]

I'm glad you keep the character cosmetics, dunno why cause I couldn't care less about the camos

[@spencerzheng4502]

Thank you for making this video. I know I'm prestiging now

[@1985salbert]

Thanks for letting us know

[@roberthaman9074]

Keep up the good work love the effort you put into your channel

[@Mark-lq6rv]

Bruh thank u for putting this on KZbin because I thought I'm gonna lose everything on cod

[@trentonwashington8993]

hey dude thanks for the for the advice and how to prestige was awesome

[@geniswatching]

Basically prestiging is only to get a cool icon, extra 'create a class' slot.

[@Metalprophet]

Already a prestige 1? Damn. The grind is real

[@grafxbynando_vlogs]

hell yea makes it better to prestige from now on 👌😆

[@KING-xi2qn]

thanks dude. im gonna prestige today!

[@robrto2411]

Thanks for the video. Im gonna start saving my kryptokeys too lol and yeah u have to unlocked the 2nd one first.. Then u can have the 3 together

[@doscincotres1937]

this was so useful thank you

[@morganhacker3790]

Thanks! I just got to level 55 and i was wondering what was going to happen if I prestiged and my friends were also asking lots of questions about it too.

[@AstonJay]

Thank you so much for this video, I was scared to prestige, haha

[@Gappyps3]

I'd say it's pretty fair how they did it. Better than other cods.

[@malthesrensen-taylor6610]

this vid helped me me so much... thanks!!!

[@kevinbranson2281]

thank you for this vid it helped so much!!:)

[@RA1NBOW49]

That "refund" option beside the permanent unlock option is to refund your permanent unlock token I believe. So if you refund it, you can unlock something else instead. I heard this through a friend, so I'm sure it works, but it might not. Hope I helped

[@richsongs1212]

Ty man this video helped me

[@JasTB]

you don't loose anything except you have to level back up to unlock weapons. once you unlock the weapons you have your old attachments and weapon level and camos. same with specialists. and you keep crypto keys.

[@jonathanobrien8284]

This actually helped a lot

[@noah_richardson]

When he unlocked the 3rd attachment wildcard I did the BIGGEST face palm...

[@edgardonato6868]

thank you I had no idea how to prestige in black ops 3

[@boomboom321Rj]

I didnt even get my calling card for it 😂

[@esoxxi-morgan-ixx4225]

Got awesome gem screen shot dude it's one of the camos, have you got something I can send it through to you?

[@Knapper94]

So like pretty much the only thing that you have to unlock again are weapons, perks and score streaks by lvling up again ? They were very generous this time around

[@CoolaydeIsAvailable]

Great video, thanks for answering a bunch of questions here. I'm glad you pointed out the Cryptokey possibilities, I hadn't even thought about that... Not sure if you addressed this, (I looked a bit, but it's 500 comments)... but you tried to use Primary Gunfighter 3... Was this REALLY locked or was it that you just didn't have enough attachments unlocked to put there in the 3rd slot? If the latter is true, your plan would still work.

[@shazamgaming3262]

Thanks this was very good to know

[@the_woobie_king3203]

The ice camo(Epic) from the black market is my favorite so far.

[@roberthaman9074]

I smell 1,000,000 coming soon

[@BrookieSmallz]

Thanks man! Just want to know if weapon progression still stays the same. I have no idea what to choose for my permanent unlock though.

[@markreiss2754]

Weapon levels or attachments don't reset it's only if you prestige the weapons

[@joshlauder2272]

prestige can you make a video on how to level up fast because there are loads of videos out there saying different things and I think we want a video that we can say yeah that is the best so can you be the man to do that?

[@xxscoutnitroxx7898]

Thank you very mich man i was scared at prestiging cuz i thought it will be lost nut i was wrong so again thank you very mich man 😄😄😄👍peace out

[@TopdogBO2]

just stumbled across this video today. very helpful since im going for gold camo on all my guns too. awesome content (subed👍) im also saving my cryptokeys how many do you have so far? i got 126 saved

[@QSArexgaming]

Can you please do your best or your favorite class setups please??

[@shadowlight5907]

Are you going to do realistic campaig? I find it super fun and its very possible just need strategies, just did the mission with the dart launcher thing, holy crap that took forever but swarm bugs emps and quick actions helped get the objective, itd be fun to watch what hell other people with go through with it, just a thought

[@greigdalrymple5825]

This really helped😃

[@lstheprodigy7761]

Now i know not to prestige until a double xp weekend

[@LordMclaren72]

do you need to re unlock guns as you rank up or do your previous tokens keep these unlocked when you get to the specific rank to use it?

[@teakay0161]

@PrestigeIsKey do u have to buy your weapons and such again or do u just have to reach that rank for said weapon or other item?

[@Rijketata]

Well I guess you could say... Prestige is key! YEAAAAAAAAAAAH

[@PrestigeisKey]

+Rijketata :D

[@bregonwebb8921]

That wasted unlock though... damn that sucks dude

[@zdravkomamic9743]

Thought that you're gonna be playing on Xbox.Welcome to PlaystationNation!

[@sixtywattsunburn6133]

Good to see what happens. It dosent seem like you're "Penalized" I guess you could say, for going up a Prestige

[@djjeddyb]

It appears in your video at 1:36 along with the first Prestige emblem, which I have got.

[@GqiO]

When can u reset ur stats ?

[@muntantmonsterx4365]

Any thoughts on classified gear?

[@Jubrill]

I'm currently on level 38. My goal is to reach master prestige by the end of BO3 and it's gonna be a long ass grind xD

[@Walrusisgoodballs]

Jubril did you do it?

[@Jubrill]

Walrus is good yea actually I didn’t get to level 1000 but I was around 350 ish 😂

[@AFCArmin]

thanks for this vid very handy

[@crumig]

It's a real fucking pain when you prestige cuz you lose almost EVERYTHING.

[@EposVODs]

Thanks for this!

[@lillmao2937]

+EposVox Gaming How are you verified if you only have 9k subs lol

[@EposVODs]

KyleToons Because being verified has nothing to do with subscriber counts.

[@lillmao2937]

EposVox Gaming I suppose it depends if you're partnered or not

[@EposVODs]

KyleToons Nope, not at all. It's all about protecting individuals' branding and preventing imposters, etc. This isn't my main channel.

[@lillmao2937]

EposVox Gaming I can tell,your main has around 20k. Then why do small channels with only 1k not get verified but big channels with 100k+ do? Is it because the small guys aren't important?

[@fanman5001]

Thx for this vid I was rank 55 and I thought I was going to go to it auto but it didn't so thx

[@JamesBond-bd6lu]

Love u dude

[@ewanquinton753]

U are a lifesaver matexxxxxxx

[@NSReyRey]

how about the challenges I'm trying to get killer master does it save your stuff like that

[@djjeddyb]

Hey Ryan, thanks for the vid, I've just reached first Prestige. One question though, when you Prestige, it shows you what looks like a calling card. I see it in your video and I got the same screen, but where does that first prestige calling card go? I've been trying to find it, but it does not appear anywhere....maybe it isn't selectable?

[@AstonJay]

Quick question, what happens to your gun when you prestige it? Does it gain any new statistics or does it just prestige for "bragging rights"?

[@danelsanchez8985]

i got a question when you prestige does that put you in the ranks with other people that are in the same ranks?. when playing online?.

[@zetahoven4556]

weapon level never reset in Black Ops 2, it was Modern Warfare 3 and Advanced Warfare where your weapon level reset with prestiging

[@xXMrPsychoJXx]

That revolver in the intro looks like the Thorn from Destiny.

[@JayEsseWasTekken]

You don't lose attachments! nice

[@dantemikey]

Beware I just prestige and lost all my specialist now I gotta wait to level 46 again!!!!Dam game

[@Xfighter951]

Do you lose your specialist character like the robot and nomad or when you prestige all the specialists already there?

[@iammihzi]

So no calling card? What is that thing that shows when you're about to prestige? It looks like a calling card but I didn't get anything and Prestige didn't check.

[@tbgzttvgang1548]

u really helped me out
