Prestige: what it is and what we actually know

Prestige is the endgame layer of the progression system — and right now it's also the system's biggest open question, because its challenges were officially disabled on September 10, 2026 while a bug is investigated. This page separates what's confirmed from what's circulating.

Confirmed

• Prestige exists as part of the progression system alongside the four XP tracks.
• Prestige challenges exist — we know because the developers named them specifically when disabling them.
• They're currently off, server-side, for everyone, pending a patch. Details: Prestige challenges disabled.

Reported

• Prestige-tier rewards include high-end cosmetics — the Scorched Michael skin is the most-cited candidate, though reports conflict on whether it's Prestige-locked. Reported
• Prestige sits after substantial track leveling — an opt-in for maxed or near-maxed players, in line with the genre convention. Reported

Unknown

The questions that matter, none of which have credible answers yet:

• Does Prestiging reset anything (levels? perks? weapon tracks?), or is it purely additive?
• How many Prestige tiers exist?
• What exactly the disabled challenges reward.

What to do meanwhile

Nothing special — that's the honest advice. XP tracks and regular challenges progress normally, and no evidence suggests pre-Prestige grinding is wasted. When the patch re-enables the system, this page and the patch tracker will be updated the same day.
