How To Get Legacy Prestige Icons in Black Ops 6

While getting those ten icons seems like enough work, Black Ops 6 has one other surprise for players who like to change their Icons. Reaching Prestige Master Level 100 will provide access to Legacy Prestige Icons from previous Call of Duty games. New icons will unlock every 100 levels, making the options feel endless.

Equipping one of the Legacy Prestige Icons will also change how Prestige Master status appears while in the lobby and a match. In a game full of ways to prove dominance, it’s hard to find a better one than that.

And those are all the Prestige Icons in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and what they mean.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available on October 25 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
