This page contains a listing unlockables in Call of Duty World at War. Unlockables are acquired as you gain levels by earning experience in multiplayer. They include attachments, perks, playlists, challenges and more.
Call of Duty World at War Prestige Mode
When you reach Level 65, the final experience level in World at War, in addition to unlocking the Commander rank and a handful of weapons, Prestige Mode will be made available to you.
Just as in COD4, Prestige Mode restarts your file at Level 1, wiping out all equipment and unlockables you've gained up to that point. From there, you can re-level your character from the beginning - the difference being that the game puts a Prestige Medal next to your name to show that you are playing in Prestige Mode. You can play through Prestige Mode up to ten times and gain ten badges. In World at War, you'll be able to unlock extra slots for custom classes by doing Prestiges.
