Top 10 Items to Permanently Unlock on Prestige in Black Ops 6!

[@TomOBedlam]

I like Ace’s confidence in his audience’s prowess, suggesting we unlock the Harp score streak. I mean “how do you do fellow good players? I too earn the Harp regularly…”

[@slowdown8at606]

You can get it regularly by using green perks + dispatcher playing kill confirmed. Like i really suck at cod but even i manage to get it.

[@FrostyFTL]

@@TomOBedlam it's actually not that hard to get in this game

[@engineergaming5128]

since the streaks are score based and not kill basec, players are capable of gaining streaks by doing the objective and other ways to earn score without the need to get kills, albiet at a slower rate as kills gives the most score

[@TheDarkjedi94]

First unlock was blast trap no question. Kd went up half a point once I got that. Camping my ass off. Let’s goooo

​@FrostyFTL the streaks in those game suck tbh. Uav, counter uav and HARP are the best in my opinion. As long as you run those and are decent at the game, it'll feel more engaging. I have not got the dreadnought yet lol

@@Knights_of_the_Nine “exponential” is good short hand for communication for the type of curve, but a true exponential curve would either be way faster in the early levels or waaaay slower in the later levels. The curve does compound but the rate of change doesn’t at the speed of an exponential curve which makes it closer to a geometric or logistic curve or something. Even RuneScape, a game where every 7 levels the total xp required doubles, is not truly exponential. True exponential growth is explosive, above 1 it rapidly grows to infinity. The mental model being that not only is the value growing rapidly but the rate of change is also growing rapidly. 🤓and all that but true exponential growth is scary and something people should know about because that’s how disease can transmit or how nuclear reactions work or how some people predict AI development will go. True exponential growth means you can be fine right now and maxed out the next time you look.

Since this video is mostly multiplayer oriented. I would recommend zombies players use their permanent unlock token on the mutant injection scorestreak. Pretty much guarantees a successful exfil if you have one ready to go

[@spaceCowboy-01]

That’s what I did along with aether shroud.

[@moetrashu]

Personally, if you’re like me and mainly playing face off and (later) Nuketown, i think tac mask would be a little more important than ninja since being quiet isn’t really going to help you live any longer on a map that’s literally a 3 bedroom apartment. But if you’re mainly playing core maps, stick with ninja.

[@bobthebuilder9509]

*On the zombies end of Prestige tokens:* If the AS VAL isn’t a Season 1 blueprint, I can absolutely recommend unlocking it for zombies. It’s an underrated AR that can hold its own, and subsequently was my first Prestige unlock simply because I like it that much. Your first and second Prestige tokens- if you’re not using one on the VAL- should be dedicated to either the Mutant Injection or Shadow Rift (with the Big Game augment) so you can deal with Elites. I’d tend towards Shadow Rift, since you can equip that ammo mod for significantly cheaper than crafting the Mutant Injection *and* can still get relatively common Mutant Injection drops mid to late game. Afterwards, I’d also recommend unlocking Aether Shroud, since it’s a late game unlock that a lot of people love. I use Frenzied Guard a lot more but Shroud is significantly easier to use as a panic option and can save your bacon in clutch situations. After those… there’s not *that* many zombies unlocks that are too important for most situations. You could switch unlock the Chopper Gunner if you also play Multiplayer and aim for big streaks (or swap it out with the Mutant Injection since they both share the function of erasing Elites and are mandatory to late game exfils). The Kazimirs are a great piece of equipment unlocked at a late level, but they’re so expensive to craft I don’t feel great recommending them unless you really like them- especially as all tacticals are fantastic in their own right. Even if you’re not a zombies “main”, but rather switch back and forth between MP and zombies I highly recommend at least considering perma-unlocking one of the first few unlocks I mentioned above. Aether Shroud will likely be your best bet if you’re that kind of person since it’s the most versatile, and you can make do without the scorestreaks/ammo mods if you’re not planning on sticking around past round 30.

[@thunderstorm924]

This is really great advice, but the one thing I’d add is to not sleep on Healing Aura. Being able to pick up anyone that is down from ANYWHERE on the map is crazy strong. Plus with the beam augment, you can pop it when you get cornered and when you go down if you stay in the beam it will revive yourself which is just nuts lol

[@LookItIsHope]

I perma unlocked the AS VAL (I don't mind if there's a Blueprint or not, it was my favorite gun in Battlefield, so I unlocked it for that alone). So far with all my different magazine attachments (I'm only missing the very last extended mag), this thing reloads stupidly fast with classic formula speed cola. It almost feels like you're pumping a shotgun, it doesn't even feel like a reload. I thought it was just something so hilarious seeing it when I did eventually have that augment. Even in MP (I like to switch between the two modes, but zombies is my main), the AS VAL still practically insta reloads. It's insanity.

Feel like combat specialities makes perk greed kinda a crutch in this game. I wish I had more freedom to use the other wild cards and didn't feel so boxed in. Might have to balance it, but kinda wish the specialties weren't tied to perks at all and you could just pick whatever specialty you want.

[@incompetencelogistics8924]

maybe if all perks played into more than one specialty that might make it a lot less frustrating. Engineer being both a blue and green perk would be a good example

[@NormalSuitNick]

It feels like a big step back from even the MWIII Vest system which itself felt like a needlessly restrictive framework at launch. Hopefully it's more fleshed out over time like the Vest system was, but three games in a row with perk system gimmicks in pursuit of "meaningful choices" is really starting to wear on me personally.

[@RescuedBootamisDoggo]

I used my 2nd token on the AsVal, I was hesitant but if you keep going you only get it for 1 level basically; being it's usually an upper tier with the free suppressor, I think it's an exception to the unlocks in this vid...especially for those of us who'll never use higher score streaks

I used my first on perk greed and now it’s time for my second. Still debating on which, but I’m loving the variety in this game! Between perk combos with or without perk greed, gunfighter to make an op build, or with most of the guns feeling competitive, there’s something for everyone.

[@madzaisa]

How good gunfigher is? From just checking various attachment stats, you don't really *need* 8 attachments, since, unlike previous CoD you can't really "stack" most of stats. Like you usually don't have more than 2 attachments that improve ADS. Or recoil on most guns don't even require to stack all recoil decreasing attachments. There are probably some exclusions, like Tanto, where you really want Rapid Fire attachment so you also need to improve you recoil afterwards. But most guns feel OK with 5 attachemnts.

[@ToppaliniTube]

Yeah I’m wondering, I’m thinking forward intel, ninja, stim shot…. So many good ones, tac mask might be good too since ppl can bring 3 tacs and I hate getting flashed

You get it so early that it's not worth it imo. Some guns need it, I used it on the Kompact for example to get the recoil under control but almost no guns need it. ​@@madzaisa

[@Urboyyycarlos]

I got tac mask since it makes flashbang,stun,neurogas equipment useless. It literally functions the same way tac mask did in BO2 where you are immune to the effects compared to someone who doesn't run it. I full recommend using Unlock Tokens on Wildcards,Perks,Lethal or Tactical gear,and Field Upgrades as those are universal for MP,Zombies and Warzone and have actual value. Weapon unlocks are fine and all but if you spend it on the wrong one or that weapon gets nerfed in a few weeks,be sure to make it worth your time.

[@Popsthechute]

I think the purpose of gunfighter in this and in the new warzone is to let people use different things or their favorite non meta weapons. I'm just above average to good but gimme 8 attachments I'm make any weapon competitive, just below meta. Imagine the poor bastards rn who are still on rebirth rn, running dtir and static for the 8000th game in a row

[@drakeslostson7580]

Perk Greed “bug”. For those of you having trouble with your perk greed only showing dexterity, here’s the fix. When you click on your extra perk slot, there will be 4 tabs at the top of your screen that will say perk 1, perk 2, perk 3, and extra. Make sure you tab all the way over to extra in order to equip any perk you want. I got stuck just clicking perk one and getting frustrated before I noticed this so hoping to save someone else a headache

To clarify for anyone wondering, you don’t get the Blueprints for the AMES 85, Marine SP or Jackal SMG for simply beating the campaign like Ace eludes to. You actually need to spend in-game money to unlock those specific Blueprints, all of them costing $3000 each.

If you are gonna prestige, you have gotta do the campaign at least until you get the blueprint for the LR 7.62 since that weapon unlocks at like rank 40 something, getting that perm unlocked from just playing the campaign is insane.

[@quinntonexecute]

I used my first on the ASVAL. Onto the second and I’m most likely using blast traps. Stims are relatively early & ninja is as well. Perk greed may be my 3rd unlock but to me, having my kit is more important than an extra perk just for the overall gameplay grind. I’d rather use things I love from level 1 (blast traps, ninja, Stims etc) than use perk greed when in reality you don’t really get the GAMECHANGING wildcard perks until 40 anyway. My vote is. Take your two most important things with you one your first two prestige. Whether it’s a Gun + lethal. Or lethal and tactical. Or a certain perk + a gun. Whatever it is, the grind will feel so much better having that. THEN on prestige 3.. go greed.

[@lonewolf1405]

Forward Intel is very underrated, not only does it zoom out your mini map but it also shows enemy direction for ANY pings on the radar

[@Kodax12]

I actually *insist* that your first permanent unlock be the chopper gunner; some of the best xp gains I've gotten are from +40 round games in zombies and it's super important that you're able to buy chopper gunners with scrap to keep yourself in the fight, especially if you're not very good and need to crutch (no shame, it's my favorite strat).

I don't necessarily agree with all your choices, but with the reasonings you give, I respect them. (I'm also exclusively a zombies player so most of those don't even apply to me LOL) Looking at it through the multiplayer perspective, I would say everything except the scorestreaks I would agree with, for the others I would end up unlocking a few guns I liked to use. As for Zombies, (instead of doing the perks for multiplayer) I did perks for zombies and a few guns. But, it doesn't really matter at the end of the day because as soon as you hit Prestige Master you will just have everything unlocked always anyway. That's the cool thing, It is all based on personal opinion because it (and say it with me) doesn't matter. Great video and keep up the good work

If you can't compete in multiplayer, how are you earning the HARP anyway? I can't believe someone is going to hide in Zombies because they don't have a scorestreak unlocked.

[@bobthebuilder9509]

Counterpoint- beware that if you plan on taking zombies seriously (EEs or high rounds) you’ll still be kneecapped! Notably you’ll lose access to most ammo mods and streak/equipment crafting recipes, which is devastating since both are practically mandatory to deal with Elites. If you “main” zombies or even plan on frequently using high rounds/EEs to get back up the ranks, I’d recommend getting either the Shadow Rift ammo mod or the Mutant Injection scorestreak. Note that for the former I also recommend researching the Big Game mod, since activating Shadow Rift directly on an Elite will instakill them.

@@peabrain6872 ​​⁠ What’s your problem? Are you implying I should use my valuable permanent unlock token on something completely useless like a smoke grenade? Come on. Perk greed is unlocked at level 54, the AS Val is unlocked at level 55, and the HARP which I plan on permanently unlocking next is unlocked at level 42. I want the most use out of my tokens. So why would I ever waste them on things that won’t help me compete in this era of matchmaking? Get real.

[@tsuikyit5511]

@@Tatman2TheResQ If you’re really taking offence to my decisions, you need to get ahold of yourself. This is my copy of the game and I can choose to play it however I want. I aim for long killstreaks and without my HARP, it’s not happening when you cannot loop streaks. And if I’m content playing Zombies, then why not let me be? Because I’m not fighting SBMM dumping 5 glue sniffers on my team like I’ve been doing for the past years. With the one exception being Black Ops 4, I rely on the Advanced UAV style streak if I want to go on a long killstreak. Until BO6 allows me to loop streaks where I can just depend on the UAV, I am firmly staying in Zombies until I have enough tokens to unlock everything I need for Multiplayer to compete effectively in my skill bracket. So instead of trying to sound cocky and trying to make me look like a frightened little mouse, how about you get your average recent KDR to the 2.0 mark, play Multiplayer and see how well you compete. I know what the matchmaking is like and I refuse to play Multiplayer until I’ve gotten what I need. In that regard you might as well as call me scared because I’m busy levelling my weapons up in zombies before taking them into MP. It’s a ridiculous argument you’re presenting. Given how SBMM works, it’s in my interest to go in prepared instead of half assing it and going in without my preferred perks, streaks and attachments

[@jamarbradshaw8993]

I like the way how black ops 6 made blueprints relevant this time around.

[@xdplaayerr]

@TheXclusiveAce what's the ksv class you're using I'm grind lvls and camos but there's so much recoil on this thing

[@adampw10]

Very sound advice. Great vid = instant sub!!

[@Chrisboy265]

The way I plan to use my permanent unlocks is to just unlock the last non-weapon items going backwards. Not really much logic in it besides saving myself some time to get the last unlockable item each prestige. It’s simple and works for me.

[@FCBarcelonaCuler]

Your videos are so helpful! Thank you

[@mash2481]

Man, zombies has got me hooked. Love multiplayer too. I just have to manage my free time better.

[@TheDCRUAmpact]

Definitely appreciate this video as a casual player that plans to prestige. Thank you Ace!

[@orionizaqt]

I feel like perk greed and ninja are definitely the best 2, but if there's no blueprint for the AS Val in the season 1 pass, I'd get that one at 3rd prestige. Imo the AS Val is the best weapon in the game in multiplayer by a wide margin and being the last unlock makes it worth getting early for me. It's competitive with SMGs under about 15 meters and is the best gun in the game between around 15-35 meters and still usable past that unlike any of the SMGs.

[@madzaisa]

The problem is that if AS VAL is too good, it could be nerfed soon enough.

[@jesseyingling73]

3:52 So it’s not just me having an issue deciphering whether a teammate or enemy ran by me

[@StompDemHataZ]

Man thank god you mentioned the arrows on the harp. I thought i was getting insane because the enemies always moving backwards 😂

[@jasonbuckley4118]

Call of duty 50% of level limit of 55 = 41. Runescape 50% of level limit of 99 = 92. of god i love games that just tell you, hey guess what.. do it again.

[@Epitaph11]

Perk Greed was my first unlock too. The other thing this does is give you early access to the wildcard slot, which you otherwise wouldn’t have for those first few levels. I do need to unlock another perk though so I can use it and I think perk unlocks are a great way to go. Also 100% agree about not unlocking weapons with the AS VAL being a notable exception. S1 was out when I prestiged the second time, seeing there was no blueprint for the AS VAL told me they know its really good and aren’t making it easily accessible, so I unlocked that with my second. I’ve had a lot of fun playing around with Sleeper Agent so I was thinking of doing that though it’s kind of a meme.

[@robthatbin127]

For my fellow Zombies players out there. The Mutant Injection is a great perma unlock. At level 39 it may be a little early, but you need to be that level to even buy it from the crafting table. And as someone who uses these all the times specifically against Abominations I'm essentially locked out of playing consistently above round 30 without this unlock.

[@hippyrainbow5606]

Honestly i went immediately for ninja because those levels up to unlocking it were the most aggravating moments of the game hearing my own footsteps all the time

[@derrickforer5256]

Good timing on this video. Level 53 right now and going to prestige once I play tonight. As of right now, in order, I'm leaning towards unlocking perk greed, stim shot, ninja.

[@Del-je8yj]

I’m just gonna really quickly think of one for zombies: 1: Aether Shroud 2: LT53 KAZMIR (or monkey bombs but I like the kazmir more) 3: Mutant Injection 4: Weapon Of Choice (for instance I would pick the ASG-89 because it’s the gun I use for high rounds and is considered to be the best starting weapon) 5: I’m gonna go with decoys on this one, mainly because decoys are like mini monkey bombs that you can start with and really help for doing basically anything that involves you not being able to shoot at zombies - aka the valve on liberty or bomb diffusion on terminus 6: If you exclusively play terminus, go for Molotovs, they’re necessary for high rounds unless you want to scavenge for 3 off the zombies you kill. If you play exclusively liberty, the mangler cannon for crafting the jetgun 7/8/9/: just get guns and gear you want, for instance I’d probably get the GS45, LR 7.62 and CIGMA 28 in that order for the last 3

[@donaldfaulkner4586]

I tried to get the Battle Axe as my first permanent unlock, and accidentally fumbled around in the menu and got the GPMG-7 Light Machne Gun. I was really upset, but after trying it and levellling it up, it's one of my favorite weapons.

[@lincolnlee7025]

This is a great idea! I was just trying to think of the perfect way, and I gotta say I love this, and I'm actually going to try it out. Thanks

[@thirdeyekind]

you deserve to reach a million subs this cod season 😁

[@gamerdew641]

I agree that perk greed is helpful to permanently unlock, but I don't think that it is best to get first considering most of the decent perks don't unlock until you are at least in your mid-teens when you are leveling up. I think it makes more sense to unlock gunfighter first, and then two high level perks in your favorite class for the next two prestige levels. Then, by prestige 4, you can unlock perk greed, and immediately have your class bonus, and two of the nicest perks for that class out of the gate, making the subsequent prestiging level easier.

[@Hootis]

I took the AS VAL for my first permanent unlock, I don't regret it.

[@latinavenger6660]

Hands down OVERKILL for me. Love to snipe & go all Assasin at the same time.

[@Cz1744]

Used mine on gunfighter but perk greed was next. Stim in hardcore playlists is clutch too. Good list bro.

[@nonamesonme1]

Sorry how is stim important in HC? Don't you die in 1-2 shots?

[@dneroaddiction]

[@BAAD_productions]

I went with scavenger as my p1 unlock. It really helped with grinding the pistols and launchers camos so early in the game. Plus when you run smg and can rack up 7 or 8 kills, it helsp to have more ammo.

[@craigsparton]

When I looked at the level progression unlocks I knew I'd be taking perk greed as my first unlock. Tac mask will probably be second. I'm kinda sad though, the loadout I use for domination modes has an AR and shotgun with overkill, it's such a good combination. I've been running all greens for those modes, flak jacket, fast hands, and guardian, and the strategist perk lets you see equipment. I'd love to add tac mask to that, but then no shotgun. I also run smoke grenades as my tactical with a thermal scope. So good for clearing objectives before jumping into them.

[@brya6270]

If you got bo6 right away and play the game often, unlocking your weapon of choice isn’t a bad thing at all even if you get it later. While a neat list one of it is based on your skill and it always comes down to personal preference. 👍

[@trippy-.-panda5864]

When are we getting a kill streak class setup?

[@A42yearoldARAB]

right on par with my first two. I would always rage when people heard me in other games, but in this one I can 1000% hear everyone stomping lmfao.

[@DoodleBobby007]

What was the scoreboard for the gameplay in the video? Crazy to see you still popping off on KZbin pal

[@Vurawn410]

I went: 1) Chopper gunner (I play a lot of zombies) 2) GPMG (kinda regret it but used it a lot at the time) 3) Gunfighter (Despite unlocking it much earlier than Perk Greed, I still prefer it)

[@EbonySeraphim]

The only downside of perk green is that it does nothing for you at the very earliest of levels when you don't even have 4 perks to equip at once.

[@Dma118]

Throw on a double xp. And get ninja with your next token

[@rmdfinest_2364]

You can also save it as a zombie loadout. After I did prestige 1 I still was able to access those loadouts

[@WuvPain]

All ima say is don’t use token on last ar. It’s so good I got almost all the headahots in the time it took to get from 55 to 56 and next prestige I can get it gold Ina couple games

[@chipheuston4064]

1. Danger close (regret) 2. As val 3. Gunfighter 4. Stim shot. Thinking for 5 I go chopper Gunner. Been playing zombies, annoying not having that available.

[@nikomint4894]

I am on Prestige 3 and i took: 1. Perk greed 2. Stim 3. Helicopter gunner for zombies, is basicly a free exfil

also, make sure to grab the new Twitch Drop, for 4 hours it's an XMG blueprint and to my knowledge it's the only XMG blueprint around currently

[@gerardogastelumgomez]

I try to use all blue with flack jacket but u can’t, do you know why?

[@IntoTheBelly]

I did Perk Greed, then bankroll and as val. at lvl 17 which took a half hour, i had my uav and counter unlocked to spam on HC kill confirmed with green specialty

[@Apex_Gamer_87]

As I mainly play Zombies my first 2 unlocks were AS Val (just like the AR and don't wanna wait 55 levels to use) and Aether Shroud (last upgrade and really useful) will probably use 5 unlocks for MP items.

[@mysteryman0216]

I bought the battle pass and 1 bundle (I know, I’m horrible for that) which pretty much perma unlocked over half the guns in the game, so now it’ll be quite simple to choose what to unlock

[@chefwind_]

You should've added a field upgrade into this, I recommend sleeper agent, war cry, or the one that makes footsteps louder
