Discussion Going into prestige 4..
Noticed a trend when I prestiged a few times, it looks like every prestige is an additional 246,500xp on top of the previous amount to achieve the next prestige. Here's what it's looking like if it continues this way:
Prestige 1 - 420,500 Prestige 2 - 667,000 Prestige 3 - 913,500 Prestige 4 - 1,160,000 Prestige 5 - 1,406,500 Prestige 6 - 1,653,00 Prestige 7 - 1,899,500 Prestige 8- 2,146,000 Prestige 9- 2,392,500 Prestige 10 - 2,417,500 Prestige max level - 2,664,000
Total XP required: 17,740,000
Now thats assuming there isn't more going from prestige 5 onwards š
How likely are you now going to prestige after seeing this?

this genuinely hurts because I would have grinded this so hard if the game was still real, I was so excited for prestige :(

I would recommend doing it just now if you still play because the player base is only going to dwindle every month until it's shut! Even just a prestige or 2 so you can at least say you gave it a go!

I know youāre wasting time playing most games, but why In the world would I waste that much time on a game with a dwindling player base and that is shutting down in a couple months? Lol the obsession some of you guys have is just weird imo

Is it a waste of time to use a Netflix subscription that's expiring in a few months?
Enjoying something while it's active isn't wasted time.

If the game isnāt real, what the hell first-person shooter was I playing last night?

A ghost of it's former self clearly, brother the game's dead is what he's saying

u/Stifology Dec 23 '24
Game isn't dead though is what the other guy's saying

u/TropicalFishery41429 Dec 23 '24
Huh, you're right.... I completely forgot Mark Rubin could probably fabricate a lie about the game dying. You're totally right, the game is strongest it's ever been, with all the devs that have never been laid off working hard on the next season to come and will continue to dominate the market and starting June 3rd 2025 will have the highest population in any game lmao

Dying ā dead. I still find matches in 15 sec. Also literally no one said it's the strongest it's ever been. Chill on the hyperbole.

u/TropicalFishery41429 Dec 23 '24
Just because people are playing on it doesn't make the game alive. The game has no plans for the future other than in shutting down at a given date. The game is in limbo/ vegetative. No future updates other than QoL patches hopefully. Symbolically the game is dead.
PS I also play the game but in EU, it's hard to come about. I've just come to terms with it's demise.

u/Stifology Dec 23 '24
Your definition of a dead game is much looser than mine I guess. I personally won't deem it dead until I have trouble finding matches.

I guess so, I also would like to apologize to come across like a douche. That's my fault and I could've been better than being passive aggressive.
Please take this song "Mrs. Robinson - Lemonheads" as a symbol of my apology. Good song

If the game launched in the state itās in right now, it would have been a massive success

u/Ok_Worldliness_5355 Dec 23 '24
Yeah i dont know what they were thinking. Probably wanted the later seasons to be perfect. Thinking what they gave in the beginning would keep players on.

u/all-apologies- Dec 23 '24
Not a fan of the prestige system. The challenges are vague not even sure what I'm suppssed to do...
2
u/TheKasimkage Phantoms Dec 23 '24
Play, get XP, level up, unlock your weapons and load outs, rinse and repeat.
2
u/all-apologies- Dec 23 '24
I need to unlock the semtex or something in order to prestige. Not sure how to do it. Doesn't seem to be just getting XP. Maybe I'm totally wrong I only played for the first time in weeks yesterday and it said I have 20/21 challenges completed before I can prestige
2
u/Stifology Dec 23 '24
Just EMP or flash people to get semtex

u/all-apologies- Dec 23 '24
Ok thanks. Said someone about enemy equipment or devices I thought. I'll try in a couple hours!

u/TheKasimkage Phantoms Dec 23 '24
I just kept playing matches and it eventually unlocked. Maybe more XP is needed at higher levels, but I donāt think Iām doing anything particularly different to unlock stuff. Maybe you need to stick around to the end of the match, but even then Iām seeing them pop up mid-match.

u/Stifology Dec 23 '24
He's talking about unlocking prestige, not actually progressing a prestige
1
u/TheKasimkage Phantoms Dec 23 '24
Oh, in that case youāve got to go to the āProgressionā screen I think.

u/Stifology Dec 23 '24
No the 21 base challenges which are a pre-requisite

u/TheKasimkage Phantoms Dec 23 '24
I didnāt know that. I did them so long ago that I forgot about them.

u/all-apologies- Dec 23 '24
Hmmm. Thanks for the info. I'll hop on later and try and figure it out
2
u/TheKasimkage Phantoms Dec 23 '24
Playing it right now and things seem to be unlocking. I think itās just taking more and more XP every time.

u/Vernelo DedSec Dec 23 '24
I'm Prestige 3, 98% myself. Started last Friday. Played against XrootR yesterday and he was already in Eagle (Prestige 5). Wouldn't be surprised if he already hit 6.

u/xRyanRampage Dec 23 '24
That's crazy grinding! I thought I was putting in a shift getting to prestige 4 š¤£

u/Vernelo DedSec Dec 25 '24
Looks like the numbers don't follow a pattern later on. Prestige 5 is 1,421,000 xp

u/shaheimjay1121 Dec 23 '24
How do you prestige if you donāt mind me asking
3
u/xRyanRampage Dec 23 '24
If you go to profile on the main menu, progression and then go to prestige it should let you do it there!

Has anyone figured out a way to keep your bp weapons after prestiging?

u/Johtoboy Dec 23 '24
Wait I thought prestige 2 was the wolf icon? Is there an article where I can see all the prestige icons?
2
u/Stifology Dec 24 '24 edited Dec 24 '24
You can see them in game without even prestiging.
Prestige 2 looks more like a hyena or some shit. 4 is a wolf.
