Field Upgrade

Field Upgrades are special equipment in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Filling a similar role to Special Issue Equipment in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, they are powerful devices and abilities that can aid the user and their team offensively or defensively. Field Upgrades are acquired by filling up the meter which it will fill on its own and can be accelerated by earning score, similar to Specialist Weapons and Payloads from previous games.

Players can only use one Field Upgrade at a time, but in games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, can use a second one through the Field Upgrade Pro feature unlocked at Level 45. In Field Upgrade Pro mode, both of the selected Field Upgrades charge at the rate of the slower of the two. For example, if Dead Silence and Stopping Power Rounds were to be selected in Field Upgrade Pro, both would charge at the rate of Stopping Power Rounds. This is also available in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 if the player equips the Prepper Wildcard.

Within the Zombies mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, a unique selection of Field Upgrades can be utilized.
