MW3 Prestige Tokens: Weapons or Perks?

[Paragon Fury]

So I'm getting to the point where I'll be able to Prestige, and I usually do it at least once or twice per CoD. But I'm having trouble deciding what I want to use my Prestige Tokens to keep. I currently have two, and one of them is definitely going to the G36c, my favorite weapon in the game. However, I can't decide if I should spend the second one on another weapon like the ACR or on a Perk like Scavenger/Hardline.

I obviously don't need to spend it on KSRs, since I know what I like to use now and they basically flood you with them anyways.

So what would be more useful; perks or weapons?

I'd say it depends on how you play, what you tend to utilize more and what level stuff is unlocked at. If you use something like scavenger a lot, it might be worth an unlock since it isn't available until around level 38(I think).

I personally have unlocked guns, which helps with challenges that you unlock after you prestige(headshots, overall kills, etc.) and you level up faster because of it.

Either way, you can't go wrong with getting something you use a lot. I'd say just make sure it doesn't get unlocked within the first 20 levels or so, because those levels fly by and it seems like a waste to unlock those.

I did custom classes. I have only unlocked one weapon (ACR)

Custom classes.

Hell, the only reason I ever prestiged in the previous games is because I wanted more custom classes. Now in this game I've got 8 customs off the bat because I used my prestige tokens on them, and that's just the perfect number of classes for everything I need so I never actually need to prestige in this game. Instead what I'm doing is trying to level up every gun in the game to its max level. Already finished the G36C, the MP7, the MP9, and the Striker, and have all the SMGs half way done.

I wouldn't prestige, but if I had to I would definitely want to keep some of the insanely difficult to pro perks. Sitrep pro is one of those impossible to get perks that getting twice would destroy me.

Or a sniper if it lets you keep the weapons level, since it will take you weeks to win back a thermal MSR.

Save them for your favorite weapons or perks, but only if they require high levels to unlock (ie. Dead Silence unlocks at like 50 or 60, so getting that early would be a worthwhile spend of a prestige token).

Good candidates would include Dead Silence, ACR6.8, AK47, Portable Radar, C4, Claymores, stuff like that.

I've thought of taking more Custom Classes, but since I only ever really play Demolition and Kill Confirmed, and only really use two or three classes.
