The base level cap is 55. Experience earned in Campaign, Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone all contributes to the same overall player level, so you can progress no matter which mode you play. The leveling model mirrors the previous Black Ops entry, with shared progression across Multiplayer and Zombies and a classic Prestige loop after Level 55.
The table below lists everything that unlocks at each level, split by mode where applicable. Items shown as “—” do not grant a new Zombies unlock at that level.

Prestige system and Permanent Unlock tokens
Reaching Level 55 grants access to everything listed above. Entering Prestige resets loadout access for weapons, perks, equipment, and similar items across your next 55-level cycle, while Operators remain available. You earn one Permanent Unlock token each time you Prestige; use it to keep any single item unlocked regardless of your current level.
There are 10 Prestige tiers, with the final tier leading into an endless level climb. To minimize re-grinding, spend tokens on high-level items you use often—for example late-tier weapons or essential perks.
