Warzone Season 1 level reset explained: How Black Ops 6 affects your rank

Warzone‘s long-awaitedintegration with Black Ops 6also brings a major level reset for battle royale players, giving them a clean slate to start the new era with.

BO6 is set to completely change Warzone, as it brings a host of new guns alongside the omnimovement system. But on top of all that, it also wipes much of your progress to make way for a brand-new progression system.

So, here’s everything you need to know about the Warzone level reset inSeason 1.

Player Level

Your Warzone Player Level will bereset to Level 1once theSeason 1 updategoes live on Thursday, November 14, as confirmed in thepre-launchblog from the developer. This is to make room for the Prestige system from Black Ops 6 multiplayer.

However, if you’ve already been playing BO6, you’ll keep your rank from multiplayer as “your current Player Level is carried over into Call of Duty: Warzone.”

So, for example, if you’re Prestige 1 Level 20 in Black Ops 6 when the Season 1 update drops, you’ll find that your Warzone rank will be the same since MP and BR use cross-progression.

In this new format, which has never been used in Warzone before, you’ll need to grind through 55 Levels to unlock all of the new guns, equipment, and more. Then, once you hit the maximum rank, you have the option to Prestige, re-lock your items, and start over again, in return for exclusive rewards.

Weapon progress

Although your Player Level will be reset, any Weapon Levels will carry over once Warzone Season 1 begins. This includes both the new Black Ops 6 guns, which are all being added in the update, and all of your MW3 and MW2 weapons that you’ve been using over the last couple of years.

All of the older guns will be available right away if you’ve already unlocked them. Meanwhile, the BO6 guns will need to be unlocked by reaching the required rank, but once you do they will keep their levels and attachments from multiplayer.

Does your Black Ops 6 level reset?

No, your Black Ops 6 multiplayer level will remain exactly the same after Season 1 starts. The reset only applies to Warzone, as the game will no longer be synced up with MW3 and will be fully integrated with BO6.
