Modern Warfare 2 Field Upgrades

There are 15 Modern Warfare 2 Field Upgrades available in the game. They are:

  • Deployable Cover
  • Tactical Insertion
  • Trophy System
  • Portable Radar
  • Battle Rage
  • Suppression Mine
  • Loadout Drop
  • Tactical Camera
  • Munitions Box
  • Smoke Airdrop
  • Inflatable Decoy
  • Recon Drone
  • DDOS
  • Anti-Armor Rounds
  • Dead Silence

In terms of a few that stand out to us, Dead Silence is a staple of any CoD game, and this Field Upgrade will be super powerful in MW2 multiplayer, especially in game modes like Search and Destroy. It makes your footsteps completely silent, and kills will refresh the timer on it, so aggressive, blood-thirsty players can stay silent for long durations.

For objective-based modes and high-level competitive play, Trophy Systems are a vital part of the meta. Place one down near you or on an objective like a Hardpoint hill, and it will detect and destroy incoming equipment like grenades and stuns.

Much like an EMP, the DDOS will disable all enemy electronic equipment for a short period. This will include things like Tactical Cameras, Heartbeat Sensors, and more. This is great for aggressive teams that want to push into fortified rooms. This new Field Upgrade is going to be very useful in larger-scale multiplayer modes in the game like Ground War. For crossing open spaces or pushing behind enemy lines, the Smoke Airdrop should be able to give you the cover you need to make your move safely.
