Since the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, there has been a silent race within the community to see who can reach the highest Prestige Level within the game the quickest.
Remember all those insane folks who reached the coveted COD Prestige Master Rank within days of the game’s release? Well, somebody has beaten them all to max Prestige using a small exploit in the game’s Zombies mode.
Black Ops 6’s First Prestige Legend Player Used a Glitch to Level Up Quickly
Reaching these higher ranks within Call of Duty has long been considered a symbol of a player’s dedication and mastery over the game as a whole, at least until the next season arrives. Plus, it’s a neat little way to gain bragging rights in whatever lobby you’re a part of.
So think about how surprised the entire Call of Duty community must have been when one guy, out of nowhere, came out with a screenshot claiming to have reached Prestige Legend Level 1000 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, just over a month after the game’s launch.

But what some people thought was a case of “Not touching grass for too long,” the max level was actually achieved with the use of a simple exploit within Zombies mode.
You see, by collecting a specific combination of perks and items, Aldredd here essentially becomes invincible, which allows them to go AFK, leave the console on, and let the game level their account up over time.
The player has done this to showcase what rewards all of us get at the end of the line. However, some people are justifiably pissed at them, specifically those that have been grinding day in and day out, in spite of the game’s problematic anti-cheat, to reach the finish line.
So saddening to see zombie exploiters ruin the level 1000 rewards @NukeSquad has streamed every single game since the game released and for it to be robbed and posted all over social media is so disheartening. It’s also sad that the company didn’t really do anything about these…

As seen from Aldredd’s reaction above, however, they seem to understand how they might have robbed a few folks of a legitimate accomplishment and seem regretful about things, claiming that their reaching the max level doesn’t mean anything in the end.
At the end of the day, though, what’s done is done. Many are still congratulating the guy for reaching the max level, so, better luck next time.
