The Prestige Armoury awards players with a variety of rewards for increasing their Prestige rank. However, those who have Prestiged for the first time get to choose one reward for free, giving them two rewards for Prestige one.

Story

At some point in time before the events of the game, an ancient evil known as Ataraxia forged the powerful Gauntlet of Ataraxia to help in his bid to rule the universe. However, he was defeated and was casted into the darkest and deepest parts of the universe. The gauntlet was disassembled, with the three power cores being brought to various locations around the Milky Way Galaxy, while the main gauntlet was lost within the Mines of Despair on Fidea VI.

In the present time, not too long after the siege of Salkire Fortress at Remnant, Colonel Amsel Caligari, a member of the Coil Arms Division and McPhillian's right-hand man, sought to find a way to resurrect his deceased leader with the use of Ataraxia's legendary gauntlet, which when all three of its lost power cores are installed into the weapon, it will allow the user to resurrect anything with it, as well the ability to manipulate the resurrected being if they so choose. Before he could set his plans in motion, he first travels to the now collapsed Mines of Despair with some of his men, where they are able to recover both McPhillian and Brian's bodies and brought them to their new secret FOB on New Pomerania while another team goes to what remains of Harmony to recover several specimens from the remains of their crashed space station. While leaving the mines, Caligari was surprised to find the main gauntlet part of the Gauntlet of Ataraxia amongst the debris, taking it with him.

Several months later in September, with his plan now in the works, Caligari's first priorty to his grand scheme is to acquire the three power cores that power to the gauntlet. To do this, he planned to have the remaining members of the Galactic Council of Alliances that took down the Coil Arms Division's main operations during the Human-Alien Conflict find and secure the power cores for him by blackmailing them. To do this, he sent a large attack force to attack President John Barstow's escort convoy that was escorting him to a safehouse on Luna. There, he captures "Athena", Captain Alain Bourden, Jack McMack, scientist Ben Crawford and President John Barstow, bringing them to the Coil Arms Division safehouse located at Planet XIV. There, he explains that he will kill the president if the other four do not recover the three power cores for the Gauntlet of Ataraxia before the end of the week. He also tells them that if they even attempt to inform the rest of the Galactic Council of Alliances of their plans, he will execute the president.

Caligari then reveals to the heroes the locations of each of the cores, saying that the areas that hold them are more than likely still overrun by zombies from the original outbreaks. With this intel, the heroes depart to secure the three cores. They first travel to an old temple located on the world of Vordania, where, after a series of trials and fighting, are able to obtain the core. They proceed to return to Earth, where they infiltrate an abandoned oil rig that was built directly on top of an underwater tomb. Within the tomb, they manage to recover the second core. The group then travels to the world of New Tainos, where they infiltrate an ElassiT' military complex, which houses the third and final core within a vault.

With all three power cores, the team is ordered by Caligari to do him a favor; they are to help clear out the abandoned Coil Arms Division FOB on New Pomerania, which was overrun by zombies that they were trying to create. He also informs them that it was also where the exchange is to happen. Arriving at the planet, they fight through the base until they find Caligari with the president. After doing the exchange, Caligari fully completes the Gauntlet of Ataraxia, where he demonstates its power by zapping a table containing a corpse that is covered by a blanket. The figure then sits up, revealing to be none other than their deceased friend Brian. Caligari then uses the gauntlet to brainwash Brian into "Blackjack", ordering him to deal with the heroes as he retreats. As Brian arose from the table with glowing purple eyes and a modified battle axe, he puts on a metal mask with eyeholes and charges the heroes, who try to reason with him, but to no avail, forcing them into battle.

After a long ruthless battle, the heroes are able to subdue Blackjack long enough for Crawford to use his Psionic Jammer to break the effects of the Gauntlet of Ataraxia on him, freeing him from his brainwashing, but ultimately mortally wounding him since the gauntlet was what resurrected him in the first place. As Brian dies, he tells them that his time has long past, and that they must stop Caligari from using the gauntlet to resurrect McPhillian before dying of his wounds. This time, the heroes were able to bring Brian's corpse with them home, where he was properly laid to rest back home on Earth before continuing their mission in hunting down Caligari.

On September 29th, the heroes finally locate Caligari, who has retreated to the Coil Arms Division safehouse back on Planet XIV, where the body of McPhillian was located. The team assaults the facility, battling through zombies that were created by Caligari with the use of the gauntlet. Working their way through the facility, they manage to confront Caligari on the roof of the facility during a massive thunder and lightning storm. There, he uses the gauntlet to finally resurrect McPhillian, much to the four's horror. Caligari then gives the gauntlet to his resurrected leader, saying he has fufilled his duties and requests for the promise of money for his role in his resurrection. However, McPhillian reveals he has no intentions of paying Caligari the money, saying that he has outlived his usefulness to him before striking him dead with the gauntlet. McPhillian then turns to the heroes, saying it was time to finish what was started back at the Mines of Despair before engaging them in a final battle.

After a long brutal battle, McPhillian manages to once again get the upper hand in his fight. As the storm above them raged on, McPhillian explained to them that he will be able to use the gauntlet to revive his organization, destroy both sides of the war, and take over the universe before laughing and raising the gauntlet in the air. Bourden then informs him that the war was long over, much to McPhillian's surprise. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning strikes, striking the gauntlet, electrocuting McPhillian while shattering the ancient weapon into pieces. As McPhillian laid wounded on the ground, the four approached him. McPhillian began to ramble, saying that all he wanted was to see the universe in peace by having it united under one rule; his rule. Bourden then explains that the end of the war brough peace between the two sides, saying there was practically peace, but McPhillian shakes his head, saying their research opened the doors for an ancient evil to rise up one day and consume the entirety of the universe in utter chaos. Bourden then readies his shotgun, saying that he's sorry, but explains he made a promise to avenge Brian before executing the dying McPhillian. As the four looked around, they then returned to Earth, unaware of a strange force being picked up by radar coming from the dark ends of the universe...
