Field upgrades are nothing new to Call of Duty, as they have been a part of the game for a while now. Whenever a new title releases, everyone always wants to know what field upgrades will be available, what perks there are, how to allocate class points, and what weapon customizations are available.Â
While we had a look at the new weapons from the game and wildcards you can equip, we also got a look at the Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War field upgrades that you can utilize. For those not familiar, field upgrades are a piece of equipment that you can use at any time by pressing X or LB + RB on the controller. After using it, you’ll have to wait for the cooldown to finish before you can use it again.
At the moment, there are six field upgrades available in Black Ops Cold War. You will already be familiar with some of them if you’re a Call of Duty veteran. The field upgrade cooldowns range from one minute and twenty seconds to three minutes and forty-five seconds. Let’s take a look.
