Field Upgrades are a part of every loadout in Black Ops Cold War, and they are pieces of equipment you can use multiple times per match. All Field Upgrades do unique things and come with a cooldown timer so that you can use some more than others. Players can select their Field Upgrades inside of their loadouts.
After using a Field Upgrade, you will need to wait a specific amount of time to use it again. Picking the right upgrades will depend on which mode you’re playing and the rest of your loadout. A lot of players tend to run Field Mic at the moment for assault loadouts. In matches where enemies are dominating with airborne scorestreaks, the SAM Turret may be a good option.

Best Field Upgrades in Black Ops Cold War
Picking the best Field Upgrade depends on a lot of other factors, including the rest of your loadout, the mode you’re playing, and the rest of your team’s loadout. In large-scale matches where there are a lot of scorestreaks being deployed, SAM Turret and Jammer could be a good option. Proximity Mine is also not bad if a lot of tanks are wreaking havoc on your game.
The most popular choices are Field Mic and Trophy System in default multiplayer modes. Field Mic is the best utility Field Upgrade, providing useful intel to you and your team whenever you deploy it in a good location. Trophy System allows you to hold down specific areas more effectively by eliminating incoming grenades and flashbangs.
