How a Call of Duty Player Achieved Prestige 10 in Modern Warfare 3 Without Eliminating a Single Opponent

You are probably aware that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023) plunges us into a fictional Third World War. Whether in the Campaign or in Multiplayer, our mission is simple: eliminate the opponents of the opposing faction. We're on a shooter that simulates war, so yes, we have to fictionally eliminate other players to win games, secure objectives, and gain levels.

In Call of Duty, this level is determined by their Prestige, a distinctive sign that represents the player's level. To move up in ranks, you must perform feats on the battlefield, such as completing elimination challenges, securing objectives or even helping your allies. The higher your prestige, the more you are expected to be a seasoned soldier with many feats of arms under your belt.

Except that a player defies the codes by completing a pretty crazy challenge on Modern Warfare 3, namely building Prestige 10 without eliminating any players!

Pilgore1's crazy challenge on MW3

Pilgore1 then set itself the objective of climbing to Prestige 10 without touching a hair of the opponents. A rather complex mission, because even the explosion of a Trophy System inflicts damage, accidentally killing an opponent. In a game like MW3, where our mission is to inflict damage on our opponents until death ensues, any mistake can compromise this kind of challenge.

Furthermore, pacifism in Call of Duty is like putting a huge target on your head ; adversaries often track down less powerful opponents to increase their kill streak and increase their K/D (Death/Elimination ratio).

Thus, Pilgore1 had to take all precautions to stay alive, gain experience easily, while ensuring he came to the aid of his allies. A very complex exercise in the chaos that competitive games represent on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3!

He explains that he focused his efforts on objective game modes like Domination or Strategic Points, and played through the areas to be secured with one hand on his riot shield, to survive, and his machine gun, to eliminate elimination series and tactical accessories of opponents (drones, turrets, mines, etc.).

A challenge overcome in three days

Pilgore1 succeeded in meeting his challenge and not without effort, because it took him no less than 486 games to sport a K/D of 0.00. The pacifist player spent almost 3 days to reach prestige 10 without eliminating a single opponent. And it could have been worse, since Pilgore1 didn't skimp on using the double XP tokens to gain a few extra experience points, even though he already wasn't gaining many.

He says this challenge requires a lot of patience ; it is true that he could have been tempted to eliminate an opponent who was a little too clingy, or even too insulting, for revenge. We will not restore the reputation of players on Call of Duty, but certain little pretentious people do not hesitate to make harsh remarks in order to hurt the ego of other players. He testifies to having been the victim of numerous provocations. He could have seen red at any time, but he emphasizes having far too much patience to fall into this kind of stupid game.

Pilgore1 is not his first attempt, as he has already taken on this challenge on numerous games, notably Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022). Maybe we'll see him in the next Call of Duty!

Peaceful challenges of this kind, where the elimination of adversaries is completely prohibited, are becoming more and more trendy. Other players like ThatFriendlyGuy, on Escape from Tarkov, roam the battlefield, white flag flying!
