What the MW4 weapon prestige calculator does

Modern Warfare 4 lets you prestige a gun once it hits its max level. Each step on that road unlocks one stage of the Pyroclast camo. The trouble is that every gun has a different max level, from 37 on the .50 GS to 75 on the KG-7 Vulcan, so the grind is very different from one weapon to the next.

The MW4 weapon prestige calculator has the max level of all 33 launch weapons built in. Pick your gun, choose whether it is on its first climb, in Weapon Prestige 1 or in Weapon Prestige Master, and enter its level. You get the levels left to all four Pyroclast camos in one view.

MW4 Pyroclast camo unlocks

Camo	How to unlock it
Pyroclast	Enter Weapon Prestige 1 (level 1)
Pyroclast Terminus	Reach max level again in Weapon Prestige 1
Pyroclast Scatter	Weapon Prestige Master level 150
Pyroclast Cascade	Weapon Prestige Master level 250

After your second max level, the gun moves into Weapon Prestige Master on its own, and the level does not reset again. Activision has not said exactly how Master levels count against a gun’s normal max. The tool adds 150 and 250 Master levels after the second climb, so treat those two totals as a guide.

What weapon prestige relocks

This is the part many pre-launch guides got wrong. Infinity Ward’s launch patch notes say all attachments on a prestiged gun, including shared attachments, become locked again. The gun also loses its shared-attachment level skips on the second climb, so the second run is slower than the first.

• Relocked: normal attachments and shared attachments on that gun.
• Kept: Apex attachments, Weapon Blueprint attachments, camos, reticles, decals and stickers.
• Not affected: shared attachments stay unlocked on your other guns.

So prestige a gun you are happy to level with a weak build for a while, not your main ranked weapon.

Launchers	PILA (46), RPG-8 (46), JOKR (46), PM-40 Anvil (46)
Melee	FSS Carbon Edge 1095 (46)

The fastest Pyroclast is on the .50 GS, SANG 9mm and Krait P68, because their max level is under 40. The slowest are the KG-7 Vulcan, Signal 50 and MAR-9.

How to grind weapon levels faster

• Use Double Weapon XP Tokens on the second climb, when shared skips no longer help.
• Play small maps and fast modes so you get more kills per minute.
• Level a pistol or launcher first if you just want to see the Pyroclast camo early.

Before you start the grind, set up the game properly. Our MW4 sensitivity converter moves your aim settings over from other games, and the MW4 pre-load size calculator shows how much space the install needs. If the PC version will not start, see the MW4 TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot fix. Buying the battle pass? The COD Points to USD calculator shows the real price, and the Call of Duty tier list helps you choose what to level next.
