Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Prestigious Award

• 

  Attain max level or Prestige with 25 different weapons in Zombies

  

  GLITCHED

  Some people have reported having to Prestige an extra weapon, before this trophy unlocked.

  NOTE: Weapons added after the launch of the game, don't count towards this trophy!

  This is the longest trophy for the Zombies part of the game, possibly the entire game. Each weapon available on the wall or out of the mystery box can be levelled up. The majority of these will unlock attachments as you level. The amount of levels to max out a gun will vary, thus will the amount of kills you will need.

  The best way to level up guns is to just go high rounds and persist with killing. The further you get into a match, the quicker zombies, and thus your kills, will come. I suggest playing on casual, as while you get less zombies, their health is lower and caps sooner and is generally easier to play. The main issue you'll face is ammo. If you have Bandolier Bandit and rotate what guns you're working on using Mule Kick you'll have less of an issue but when you're levelling box weapons you'll run out of ammo a lot of the time. This is less of an issue on IX, my map of choice for grinding, as you get a max ammo drop every gladiator round, plus if you do the first four challenges you can save the max ammo reward until you need it. You can constantly buy ammo for wall weapons so if you work on wall weapons while your box weapons are empty, you'll save yourself a lot of grief.

  Alternatively, if you have the DLC, you can build Silver Bullets in Dead of the Night, which you can constantly refill for any weapon, meaning you won't have to wait around for a max ammo when your gun is empty.

  There is also another method where you abuse the bot mechanism. You get more XP the more people that are in the game, plus more zombies will spawn. If you position yourself on the top of the stairs in the Warden's House correctly, the bots will all file behind you. They'll get some kills from the window there but the majority of the zombies will flood in from the bottom and the bots will kill very few of them. The main issue with this method is that it takes some set up to be in a position where you can safely sit in one spot for a while, and it's not a very good map for refilling ammo on box weapons.

  Lastly, there are occasionally double weapon XP weekends. If you want, you can wait for those to cut the grinding time by half. Double Weapon XP is it's own thing, not all double XP weekends will give double weapon XP too.
  Below are a list of all the weapons sorted by type. The first number is the level you unlock it at (you must have a weapon unlocked to level it) and the second is the weapon's max level. If you do a general prestige, all weapons will be relocked, but all progress made towards levelling them will be kept. Prestiging your weapons is irrelevant for this trophy, but relocks all your attachments, so is not recommended.

  Weapons available as a wallbuy will be bolded, though not all guns are wallbuys on every map. Guns not listed here were added post-release and don't count. Wonder Weapons cannot be levelled up or customised.

  • Assault Rifles: ICR-7 (5/15), Maddox RFB (13/16), KN-57 (21/16), Hitchcock M9 (29/16), Rampart 17 (48/16), Vapr-XKG (53/15)
  • Submachine Guns: Escargot (12/16), MX9 (25/15), Spitfire (32/16), Saug 9MM (44/16), GKS (45/15), Cordite (49/16), M1927 (1/16)
  • Tactical Rifles: Swordfish (4/17), Essex Model 07 (16/17), ABR 223 (37/17), Auger DMR (52/17)
  • Light Machine Guns: Titan (9/16), Hades (28/17), VKM 750 (40/16), Zweihänder (55/17)
  • Sniper Rifles: SDM (17/16), Paladin HB50 (33/16), Koshka (51/16), Outlaw (54/17)
  • Secondaries: Welling (1/13), Mozu (8/13), M1897 Trebuchet (20/13), Strife (24/13), RK7 Garrison (36/13), SG12 (41/13), Hellion Salvo (47/7), MOG 12 (50/13)

  Notes:

  • The M1927 only appears on Blood of the Dead (and the final two DLCs).
  • The Essex Model 07, despite being a wallbuy, is not recommended due to being all around awful.
  • The Koshka only appears on Voyage of Despair (and most of the DLC maps, if you have them)
  • The Welling is only available as a starter weapon, but is not recommended due to its shoddy ammo reserves.
  • The Strife is recommended to be your first upgraded weapon, as the Stiletto Knife Operator Mod is invaluable to starting games off well. The Spitfire Operator Mod is recommended for some of the DLC bosses so it's advised to level this early too.
  • The Hitchcock, VKM, Trebuchet and Hellion Salvo have explosive rounds when Pack-a-Punched so PHD Slider would be helpful.
