Benefits for prestiging

[Demon7762]

I think there should be benefits for prestiging besides the id cards. For example there could be a multiplier for how much money you get for prestiging. Prestige 1 : 1.10 multiplier, prestige 2 :1.20 multiplier, prestige 3 : 1.30 multiplier, etc.

Naw. This would lead to new players getting booted more than they already do.

They have already confirmed that once player cosmetics happen there will be ones that will be locked behind Prestige.

That aside... there is also the simple fact that you get extra Quick-Loadout configuration slots for the first 10 prestige ranks.

As far as a multiplier is concerned, this was proposed to be a "per prestige" sort of option - a flat 10% bonus, with the other option being some extra starting cash. However, after some player feedback... they apparently decided to not implement this with the Ascension Adjustments that came with the Eventide Update.

Cosmetics were confirmed to be extra rewards for prestige. Idk if they'll ever consider additional XP since they originally wanted to have a choice between a flat 10% boost or extra starting cash, but eventually just made general progress 10% faster.

Personally, I'd like to see a prestige token system for the game similar to Call of Duty. However, the caveat is that you must have a lower tier permanently unlocked before getting a higher tier. For example, in order to perma unlock the T3 crucifix, you'd need to prestige a minimum of 3 times (one for each tier). For the total safety items (crucis, smudges, firelights, and san meds) you'd need 12 prestiges minimum. This would be reasonable given the sheer commitment for the average player, even if you speedrun the prestiges.

Another idea that I'd like to see, and more likely to actually be implemented, is additional Custom slots for higher prestiges.

This would be good along with the ability to name the custom slots also.
