Letter to Savvy

Racing you to 14th prestige kept it interesting. I thought for a little bit that I might actually pull it off. But alas, you are the winner. And as Rif would say, you win the chicken dinner.

The next prestige is my last chance to finally beat you.

So game on buddy.

GO...GO...GO...GO!!!

I gotta back my tourney teammate...go Savvy!! Man, I'm still trying to make it to 5th prestige so I won't be able to beat you guys

Last one there buys the beers next time I am in Phoenix.

Deal?



15th prestige? I must have too much time on my hands.




Leveling up is now a science for me. It was a mystery the first two prestiges, but then the skies opened up. Last prestige only took me 5 days.

What's the secret??? I've got over 5 days of game time...only middle of 4th prestige.

Congrats to both you beasts.

Yeah, congrats guys.

I'd like to enroll in the Canis leveling up science class - prestiging in 5 days would be awesome.

fastest way to prestige is to use the specialist strike package. Use it as soon as you hit level 20. since this game is based on point streak and not kill streaks you will rack up alot of xp. in your specialist strike package you can choose for example...blind eye in the 1st slot, quickdraw in your 2nd slot and sitrep in your 3rd slot. then your normal perks are listed below.

1st perk - your choose(I used scavenger)
2nd perk - hardline
3rd perk - your choose(I used Stacker)

you get xp for completing the challenges for each perk. Example: SCAVENGER.
you get 500xp every time you resupply 10 times
1,000xp for 20 times
2,500xp for 50 times
5,000xp for 100 times
10,000xp for 250 times
10,000xp for 500 times

then there is another challenge once you get Scavenger Pro. I think you get scavenger pro once you resupply 100 times. the challenges when you get scavenger pro is called "hoarding ammo".

500xp for 15 kills with Scavenger Pro
1,000xp for 30 kills
2,500xp for 60 kills
5,000xp for 120 kills
10,000xp for 300 kills
10,000xp for 750 kills

there are challenges for the regular perk and pro version of that said perk. I just used Scavenger as an example. you will also get xp for earning each specialist point streak (x) amount of times and also xp for those perk challenges. you also get xp for earning all perks (x) amount of times.

these all reset every time you prestige

then for the guns. for each gun you have challenges(kills with said gun)
250xp for 10 kills
1,000xp for 25 kills
2,000xp for 75 kills
5,000xp for 150 kills
10,000xp for 300 kills
10,000xp for 500 kils
10,000xp for 750 kills

you also get xp for headshots.

you also get xp for the "Mastery" of the gun.

I would use one gun and get 500 kills, then move to another gun.(you can do this for your secondary also, but not necessary to go up to 500 kills) if you get 500 kills with that said gun, you get get all those xp for the Markman challenges and Mastery. you don't want to do more then 500 kills per gun because there is another challenge called "Veteran" - this challenge doesn't reset so you can work up to the 1000/2500 kills in your next couple of prestiges. remember, you are trying to maximize xp with your time.
10,000xp for 500 kills
10,000xp for 1000 kills
10,000xp for 2,500 kills

Long read and I hope it was clear and helps.

Also, you get 500 xp for jumping down the well in Seatown. Resets every prestige.

Bee spelled it out pretty good.

I start with Recon (unlocked right away) and level it up while waiting for EC.
Recon is easy because every splash damage counts. Play a few games of DZ and you can go a long way with Recon.

Then as soon as EC opens I run n gun most maps gettting to that level 5 so I can parkour.

As soon as I am done with Parkour I switch from ECpro to Scavenger. That is another easy one to level up.

As soon as DS opens up I use it to unlock Featherweight.

DS kills have to be very close so I have to creep a lot to get those kills to count.


I do not get alot of kills each match so I have to be creative to get those XP.



Also, I watch the challenges for the grenades. Once I reach the max for flash I switch to Conc. Once I have those maxed I switch my classes to EMP.

Also watch the Daily and Weekly challenges and try to match those into your other challenges.


If I really pay attention I can easily get about 5 or 6 +30,000xp matches in a row right at the end where I need them most. That is a level per match.


One night while playing with a group they watched as I hit a new level in the 70s each match.

That was the night I caught Savvy and passed him.



If you follow Bee's strategy it goes by fast.

The down side is you are not helping the team much by running Specialist.

However, once I get leveled up I only use Specialist on one class. So I help the team much more once I stop leveling.

Holy shit!!!! I think you guys just figured out how to divide by zero.

Well then...you should see a whole team of 9 do it in groundwar...

Canis and Savvy, you both better watch your back

why am i not surprised Savarino broke out the Godfather quote?

and yes, WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!

its fun watching you all race as i am in the back sucking the dust of you guys! Great job Good luck guys, I am pulling for Canis...HAHAHHA

Drop Zone is a quick way to level up as well, i just prestiged and went up like 3 levels in one game!

have fun dudes!

Thanks for the tips guys...I think I'm going to have to stick to the changing of guns and checking challenges...I average maybe a 2-3 kill streak so Specialist streaks wouldn't really benefit me. Any other tips, I'll be checking back!

Get some sun!

J/k...good job. I'll never sniff 14...or 10 for that matter. I realize you get more XP for Specialist, but it is not as much fun as hitting a reaper/overwatch or AC130. If I can do that once a night I feel like I've attained something, and kept the bad guys off the damned B flag for a good amount of time!

my .02 on prestiging...

Gun variety is big...not just in the particular guns, but in the class of guns...there are challenge points to be earned for "X kills with a SMG, LMG, Shotgun, etc"...so use guns from each of the classes if you can (I still don't touch the sniper rifles).

Specialist is great for XP, but so is support with only UAV/CUAV as your streaks...you will hit them more often each game for extra points each time you throw one up and there are nice achievments for calling in each of them, as well as for calling in total support streaks ...you will hit some nice 10k bonuses...

Hit level 70 early this morning.

Its going to be close.

I remember a similar race in BLOPS, Savvy beat me also, so I feel your pain.

At 11:35 PST I hit the button for what is hopefully the last time.

I just barely beat Savvy to the 15th prestige.

It felt like it nearly killed me trying to stay ahead of him.

Probably won't be daring him again in a challenge.


Mmm, that beer is going taste especially good.


Thanks for the good sportmanship Savvy, and keeping me from going crazy in this stupid prestiging.

Nice job guys, now what's next? I know savvy is probably gonna work on his worldwide DOM rank, he's in the 500-600 range, aren't you savvy? What's next for yourself Canis?

I generally stop using a weapon after 300 kills each prestige (10,000xp). And as soon as you hit full mastery at level 29 for the additional 10,000 xp.

Remember it's only 50 kills with some handguns for around 15,000xp! You can get that in 2-3 matches max in HC FFA. (~20 minutes)
