Black Ops 6’s published launch progression lists rewards from Level 1, Private I, through Level 55, Commander. The table below gives each listed unlock and its applicable mode; because it reflects Call of Duty’s October 2024 guide, check the in-game Progression tile for the current unlocks and XP needed for your next level.
Call of Duty Staff describes the system as progression through “55 Level Unlocks” to access weapons, equipment, Scorestreaks, Operators, and more. These are player-level rewards, and not every listed item is available in every mode.

Prestige: what resets and what carries over
At Max Level 55, you can choose to enter one of 10 Prestige levels. Entering Prestige returns you to Level 1, resets loadouts, and relocks most level unlocks. Each new Prestige grants one Permanent Unlock that can be spent on one item from the Player Levels. After all 10 Prestige levels, Prestige Master adds 1,000 levels and restores permanent access to basic level unlocks.
Call of Duty’s October 23, 2024 progression guide says weapon progression, camos and reticles, challenge progress, store and Battle Pass content, operator and emote unlocks, and owned blueprints or skins are retained. The October 21, 2024 launch blog also lists Zombies GobbleGums as retained. These are source-specific details from the launch-era guidance.
