This year, Treyarch added Field Upgrades and they’re a key addition.

In Black Ops Cold War, Field Upgrades are rechargeable equipment that can be extremely helpful when used in a timely and effective manner.

A Trophy System, for example, can be deployed on a Hardpoint to prevent enemies from throwing grenades at it. A Field Mic, on the other hand, can be placed near an objective to show when enemies are approaching

Here’s every Field Upgrade in the game at launch.
