Among the many ways you can customize your character in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, selecting which Field Upgrades to take into battle is an important one.
Field Upgrades are the reusable equipment that you will get after a certain amount of time in-game. After using them, you will have to wait for it to recharge back up. This recharge time will vary depending on the Field Upgrade, so be sure you know which ones you want and if you can manage that amount of time.
Check out what your options will be before setting up your classes.
Assault Pack
Recharge Time: 3:15
This grants you a supply cache that you can refill your ammo from, and it will also grant you bonuses for taking out enemies in the game. Ammo is always an important thing to have and you’re certainly going to run into moments where you are needing more, so this can be incredibly useful.
Field Mic
Recharge Time: 3:15
The Field Mic deploys a microphone that will highlight the positions of enemies it picks up on your mini-map. It’s handy for anyone looking to patrol around a specific area, including those campers out there.
Gas Mine
Recharge Time: 2:00
When activated by an enemy, this mine will put out a giant cloud of toxic gas that will damage and disorient any enemies stuck inside of it. It’s perfect for defending objectives on Hardpoint or Domination.
Jammer
Recharge Time: 2:30
Using the Jammer will put out an electronic disruption field that disables enemy Field Upgrades and also affects the enemy mini-map. It’s great for stripping away the other team of their own upgrades while reducing their field awareness, allowing for easier positioning.
Proximity Mine
Recharge Time: 2:30
It’s about as straightforward as you can get — you throw the mine, and if any enemy runs or drives over it, it explodes. It kills enemies on-foot and will also completely blow up vehicles. You can avoid triggering it by crouch-walking over it, however. The mine is great to put around corners of popular areas so an enemy stumbles onto it without knowing it.
SAM Turret
Recharge Time: 3:45
This is the best Field Upgrade to take down any aircraft that enemies call in. The SAM Turret posts up in a spot and automatically fires missiles at airborne killstreaks and enemy-piloted helicopters. It’s great for a Domination or Headquarters match where you can protect your point from air attacks.
Trophy System
Recharge Time: 1:20
You can throw this bad boy down and it will destroy any enemy grenades or missiles that come within 10 meters of it. If you have to defend a vantage point, the Trophy System can be crucial to keeping you alive from anyone trying to blow you out of your position.
