Advanced Warfare fans who reach the top prestige are set for a treat from Sledgehammer Games

The developers behind last year's top selling COD title have been keeping up the pace between DLC packs with fresh gear and weapon updates.

Keeping players engaged has been the aim of the game and Sledgehammer have revealed they are set to reward fans for their hard work.

The studio have revealed their plans to introduce Grand Master Prestige Appreciation Day, when they will reward players of that prestige level with a heap of loot.

Players on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, and PC will get 10 Advanced Supply Drops from October 19, leaving fans less than thirty days to achieve the rank.

Sledgehammer are certainly throwing down the gauntlet, explaining that they have calculated that anyone can achieve it in the amount of time leading up to cut off say, October 18 at 9am.

It is unclear if that means 9am UK time, or 9am PST.

Sledgehammer started teasing the event last week by posting scrambled pictures of the Appreciation Day banner, accompanied by the caption: "Intel."

The full statement from the development teams explains: "Rewarding players for their accomplishments is what Call of Duty has been about since Day One, and we couldn’t be prouder of our Grand Master Prestige community in Advanced Warfare.

"These players exemplify the determination and hard work that the developers at our studio live by, and we’re rolling out an extremely special program to reward them – introducing Grand Master Prestige Appreciation Day! Exactly thirty days from now on Sunday, October 18th at 9AM our team will take a snapshot of our records from all platforms (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, and PC) and reward all Grand Master Prestiges on those platforms with 10 Advanced Supply Drops starting on Monday, October 19th!

"By our calculations, thirty days is enough time to give every player (regardless of rank/prestige) the opportunity to take part in Grand Master Prestige Appreciation Day.

"Be mindful that this program is focused on rewarding legitimate GMP’s and we’re disqualifying anyone that has previously reverse boosted (after 1/17/2015), boosted (via collusion with other players, or by split screen), exploited, or tampered with their system, and players that receive a ban for one of these offenses during this 30-day time period.
