I am constantly reminded how old I am in the gaming community every day, including getting hit with the knowledge that Classic Prestige is a new feature for many younger Call of Duty players, and a lot of that crowd isn’t sure how to use Permanent Unlock tokens.

Back in my day, we ALL knew what it meant to Prestige—and what you would lose. But ultimately, that was trumped by what you would gain through the grind, whether it was pride, joy, friendships, fun, or all of the above. For Black Ops 6 players, it’s up for grabs with the seasonal Prestige grind finally taking a backseat after several years.
