What have you permanently unlocked while prestiging in Blops 3? What will you unlock in subsequent prestiges? Finally, would you have any advice for items to unlock?
1st unlock: Dead Silence 2nd: Vision Pulse 3rd: 48 Dredge

Awareness, Dead Silence, M8, Ghost, in that order.
Can't decide what I will unlock next. Firebreak? Pharo? Razorback? C4?
My thought process is basically just unlock stuff you use a lot, or late unlock stuff you want to play with.

Been thinking of doing this upon Prestige Master, but whatever~. Suppose now I'll intend these selections as I go along:
1. Dead Silence (Level 50)
Needless to say, Dead Silence is what keeps you from dying in the soundwhore meta. Nothing else has more precedence.
2. Scavenger (Level 44)
Given this being restored to former stashing glory, Scavenger lends extremely well to longevity and incentivizes item use.
3. Heat Wave (Level 46)
Soon enough, Heat Wave cemented it's spot as top favourite ability. It earns my gratitude for paving way to Dark Matter.
4. C4 (Level 53)
Having been a skeptic since the airburst nerf from BO2, C4 remains undisputed for utility; it'll watch your ass and kill shit.
5. Trophy System (Level 23)
Trophies allow for class diversity; not only is it invaluable for objectives, they're a Flak Jacket + Tactical Mask supplement.
6. Perk 3 Greed (Level 13)
Awareness and Dead Silence are my sword and shield -- to go one without the other for even a slightest period is heresy.
7. Hardened Sentry (Level 45)
Compared to how mean BO2 Sentries were, boy is this one an absolute motherfucker, especially with EMP grenades inept.
8. Counter UAV (Level 27)
Simply because Suppressors are nerfed to shit, CUAVs step in. People are still radar reliant so it's nice to throw them off.
9. Dart (Level 18)
Time and again I've done my shenanigans with Darts. The fact these garnered much rage at me earned an unlock token.
10. Tactician (Level 26)
More or less a throwaway pick. Tactician can offer one a solid game plan with Smoke and Trophies, backed by Scavenger.

1 - Dead Silence 2 - Scavenger 3 - C4
That's as far as I've gotten. Beyond that, it won't matter much. I like using every single gun, so unlocking a high level one is meaningless to me. I prefer to use the low level ones at low level, then the higher ones as I get to higher levels. Keeps each prestige more interesting. I'll probably just start unlocking non-gun stuff based on what level you get them, in reverse order (highest level stuff first).

Dead Silence and Perk 3 greed are the best IMO. From there it has been mostly random late-unlock weapons because otherwise I forget to use them. Last time (6 I guess?) I did Wraith. This time might be a specialist, or the hatchet. I've gone through most of a few prestiges before even using my token.

I like using every single gun, so unlocking a high level one is meaningless to me. Agree with this. Plenty of options unlocked early that can get the job done until later weapons are unlocked. I don't see a need to unlock any guns, especially since guns are being tuned pretty regularly. I've unlocked Ghost and Dead Silence so far. I will probably unlock Perk 3 greed next, followed by the HATR.

Prestige 1: M8. Love that gun. It was my first love in BO2.
Prestige 2: Ghost. Self explanatory. I don't pubs without it.
Prestige 3: HATR. Use it. Abuse it. It's the best streak in the game, IMO.
Prestige 4: Dead Silence. I was tired of playing half the prestige w/o it. It's not a crutch for me in pubs, but it's useful.
Prestige 5: Mother Ship. I never got to use it and need to in order to complete the challenge.
Next up? No idea.

Dead Silence, M8, Scavenger. Not sure if I will keep prestiging, I feel like my current 8 class setup is pretty optimized.

This board puts way too much emphasis on soundwhore perks. Then again, I play more dom than anything and don't find much use out of DS or awareness. Tac mask tryhawd all day.

I'm 10th prestige and my choices were a bit unorthodox. I didn't have a headset when I started and I didn't realize just how good sound abuse was in a Treyarch title until several prestiges in. I'm also going in really hard on completing challenges because I want every calling card in the game. That's partially what allowed me to rank up so fast, besides the very generous 2xp weekends.
-Going into 1st I unlocked Scavenger. It's unlocked very late and I had a huge amount of success watching my back with trip mines and shock charges that I would keep replenishing. Since I've gotten a headset I rarely do this anymore, but it's a great way to watch your back without one. Scavenger is also great for doing challenges with lethals/tacticals.
-2nd I unlocked the M8. It's the last level so I felt it needed to be unlocked. I also had the most success with it out of any other AR. Ever since the most recent patch I am comfortable with the vast majority of the guns because they thankfully took away that awful random horizontal recoil that was causing just about every firefight to be a coinflip. But I definitely got mileage out of this thing so I can't complain. Would definitely save it for later if I had to do it again under these controllable recoil guns.
-3rd Shock Charge. Like I said, I needed to watch my back. The trip mines would be unlocked early enough, but I felt so naked without this thing on those earlier levels. It was up in the 30's anyways so I felt I couldn't go wrong.
-4th Dead Silence. Still didn't have a headset at this point but I was starting to realize that this game's audio was about as good as Ghosts in terms of echolocating people through walls.
-5th Mothership. Can't really complain about this one. I'm a huge junkie for the high streaks, it's mostly all I play CoD for. I've gotten this bad girl over a dozen times, and it's usually right around the start of each prestige where I just replace either the Talon or Hellstorm for it. Since I have absolutely no interest in going for Nuclears, or gun streaks in general, it always bothers me when I go on a Merciless or Ruthless and I have nothing to look forward to.
-6th Ghost. I never actually use this thing. It doesn't help me whatsoever. The only time this would ever help would be to go into scorestreak laptops. I'm usually in positions where people are coming from directly in front of me or they will have to get through my minefield. And I almost always play with eyebrow-levels of cover. I guess I just unlocked it as a just-in-case measure, and also for challenges.
-7th C4. It's pretty good and I was done with trip mine challenges at this point, so I felt I should work on this as well. Plus it helped a ton with a lot of Hero armor challenges.
- 8th HATR. This was one of the last challenges I needed for the Support scorestreak section of challenges, and it would also help me get to my last ground assault challenge, the GI unit. It's unlocked fairly late so this is definitely worth it for you scorestreak bros.
-9th Spectre Camo. I personally find it pointless to unlock specialists in general, but I was grasping at straws at this point. To make it clear, I knew right off the bat that I wouldn't want to have a favorite specialist that I always used, and that I wanted to get Hero for all of them. I really like the voice transmissions so I wanted to complete them all. So with that I decided the best course of action was to work hard on every unlockable specialist during each prestige. So towards the end of the journey I was maxed out on Hero armor for Firebreak, Seraph, Reaper, and close to Spectre and Nomad. I was worried about the "kill Spectre enemies from cloak" thing, and felt I should have him on hand at all times for those lobbies. But I recently found out on accident that Treyarch patched these requirements without changing the text. I got this challenge done by just killing regular players from cloak, 4 times per game.
-10th Flashbang. Another high ranked thing purely for Challenge hunting.

1) Ghost, because I like having my stealth rush class available as soon as possible.
2) Dead Silence, same reason as Ghost plus it's a very useful perk in general.
3) Scavenger, because one of my favorite classes uses it.
4) L-Car9, because it's unlocked very late and it's a very good secondary.
5) C4, because it's one of the last things you unlock and it's a very good trap.
6) Shieva, because it is a late unlock and I enjoy it.
7) M8A7, because it's the last thing you unlock and it's still decent from what I tried of it.
8) Going to be Black Hat, because it's the second to last thing you unlock and I want to try it out.
9) Going to be Razorback, because it's a late unlock and I enjoyed it when I tried it out recently.
10) Going to be SVG, because I want to be able to try it out more and level it up before I get to Prestige Master.

Well, decided on prestiging...made a bit of a bonehead move while going through the specialist selection, permanently unlocked Vision Pulse.
Granted, not the worst ability to permanently unlock, but given that it's available from the start makes me feel like a doofus.

8) Going to be Black Hat, because it's the second to last thing you unlock and I want to try it out. I suggest you try black hat before wasting a token on it. I loved black hat in BO2 but I always get killed while trying to use this one. It takes too long and youre staring at the sky for ages to hack anything worthwhile.

I've on just done 1st Prestige - (late to the party)
Perma-freed Dead Silence. Next one will probably ghost or 3rd wildcard.
Even in the first few levels (when I can't have Awareness + Dead Silence) I've seen so many people do a U-turn in front of me because of footsteps.
I'd love to free high level weapons but I've learned Vondermort's tricks the hard way. Maybe in another couple of loops I will (Pharo/M8A7) but, not for a good while yet.

Not many people unlock streaks. Interesting. I use the HATR like 90% of the time. Perhaps I'm just weird.

I didn't realize just how good sound abuse was in a Treyarch title See now, this part confuses me. I find the sound to be 10x worse in Treyarch games than IW ones. You guys must not have played MW2 if you think this is good soundwhoring. It's so inconsistent. But that doesn't stop it from being incredibly useful and making Dead Silence still the best perk in the game. Treyarch's poor sound stood out the most in BO1, probably because that came out right after MW2. This game we are noticing it more because the game is not nonstop chaos PSSHOO PSHOO PSHOO of everyone flying around with jetpacks in AW. NOTE: I did not play Ghosts so I can't comment on what it was like in that game. MW3 seemed to be the same as MW2, if I recall correctly. And BO2 was the same as this game and BO1 (very inconsistent).

I unlocked Dead Silence on the first one. I have to decide for the next one: either the Sheiva that I enjoy (but suck with it lol) or scavenger, after that I think Perk 3 Greed Wildcard, but that one comes pretty early IIRC, so not sure yet, maybe Spectre Specialist.
