Developer Sledgehammer Games is introducing the new Grand Master Prestige to “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.” In the latest update from the developer, Sledgehammer Games announced the inclusion of 15 additional prestiges, 15 Elite loot weapons and the new Grand Master Prestige Gear Set. These are just some of the new ways to level up and get rewards in “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.”

Those who are already Max Prestige players can still go up the ranks into the Master Prestige territory. And getting into a new Master Prestige rank will bring in an Elite weapon for multiplayer. This is all charted neatly in an infographic sheet seen in the link above.

The 15 additional prestiges and expected weapon per level are also illustrated, with the last step being the Grand Master Prestige. And with that final stage also comes the character set with royalty camo. All of the new gear and rank are scheduled for a March release, though the developer did not specify exactly when this will happen.

Just recently, the Havoc DLC has been released for the PS4 and PS3. The delayed Havoc DLC for PC players will be coming out today. But there is a bonus for PC players. Announced via the official Sledgehammer Games Facebook Page, PC players will get the KVA Paramilitary Exos to match the AE-4 Widowmaker. These can be obtained on the next Supply Drop opened and once the Double XP activates with the launch of the PC version for “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.”

The Havoc DLC introduces the Exo Zombies where players can also experience the celebrity cast of John Malkovich, Rose McGowan, Bill Paxton and Jon Bernthal. It’s a mix of survival and mystery, as players will need to battle their way through the wave of the undead while also solving the mystery of the outbreak.

The PlayStation Blog lists down the four multiplayer maps that come with Havoc DLC. These new maps include Core, Sideshow, Drift and Urban, each of which have a specific angle for players to work on and test their skills. There will also be new weapons coming, including the AE4 directed energy assault rifle—which matches the purple royalty KVA Exo suit—and the Widowmaker variant.
