Warzone 2 - Ultimate Beginner’s Guide | Everything You Need To Know About Warzone & DMZ

18. Tactical Insertion
Description:Marks a location as your next spawn point. Tactical Insertion doesn’t have an effect in one-life modes, such as Search & Destroy
First seen in the original Modern Warfare 2, the Tactical Inserton is a handy tool to bring you back into the game from a location of your choosing. It’s especially useful in Ground War when the deployable zones can be far from the objective. Or, if you fancy popping up in a place your enemies don’t expect you, then it’s great for that too.
17. Inflatable Decoy
Description:Proximity activated decoy mine. Upon activation the reinforced fiber target is violently deployed to confuse and distract. Press the Tactical and Lethal buttons together a second time for manual activation.
As with most of the field equipment, the name of this one is fairly self-explanatory. It’s a decoy that inflates, either automatically or manually, to fool enemies into attacking it, instead of you. It’s useful to deploy this one when you’re being pursued as it’ll hopefully throw your enemy off and help you gain back valuable seconds. Or, just throw it out to have a laugh with your allies.
16. Deployable Cover
Description:Portable, rapidly deployable ballistic cover
Best suited for when you’re hiding in a small space or in an area with limited cover, the Deployable Cover can be rapidly released to provide you with an instant spot to duck behind. It’s also helpful as a blockade for open doors when you’re guarding a particular objective and want to build up your defenses.
15. Anti-Armor Rounds
Description:Gives weapon ammo that applies bonus damage against armored targets; this includes vehicles, equipment, body armor, and targets behind penetrable cover.
The Anti-Armor Rounds work against armored cover like vehicles, equipment, body armor, and targets hiding behind penetrable cover. It’ll increase your weapon ammo damage against these items making them easier to destroy. This piece of field equipment works well in Ground War due to how many vehicles you’ll come across.
14. A.C.S.
13. Tactical Camera
12. Recon Drone
Description:Remote-controlled drone that has manual and auto marking capabilities.
11. Munitions Box
Description:Deploy a box of ammo and equipment for you and your teammates.
It’s always a nice and easy choice to drop a Munitions Box and call your teammates to gather round to reload on ammo and equipment. It’s a quick piece of field equipment to use and highly effective for helping not only you, but your allies too.
10. Med Box
Description:Deploy a box of medical supplies for you and your teammates to reduce healing delay.
9. Trophy System
8. Heartbeat Sensor
7. Loadout Drop
Description:Call in a team-based loadout crate with limited uses. Each player can only use it once.
Calling in the team loadout crate that each member of the team can interact with is a solid piece of support field equipment. It’s limited use though, so swap out that loadout wisely.
6. Comm Scrambler
Description:Disables communication with intel within its radius. Enemies will not be able to activate killstreaks. Enemy UAV and intel systems will not detect you and your teammates. Location of the scrambler is visible in the enemy minimap.
While each item of field equipment on our list can change up gameplay, we’re getting to the crux of it here as the rest of our ranked upgrades can really determine whether you win or lose. In previous Call of Duty titles, you’ll know the Comm Scrambler as just the Scrambler, but it’s been renovated and upgraded for Modern Warfare 3.
It’ll disable comms with intel within its radius, stop enemies for activating killstreaks, and keep you and your team of enemy UAV and intel systems. Unfortunately though, the enemy team will be able to see where the scrambler is on their minimap, so they can come and destroy it.
5. Suppression Mine
Description:Trip mine that when triggered, emits a constant sound wave that disrupts enemy vision and slows their movement.
4. Smoke Airdrop
Description:Call in a line of drones to deploy a smoke wall at a targeted location.
Perk turned field upgrade, the smoke airdrop is a smoke grenade evolution. next The line of drones fly in and deploy a smoke wall at a targeted location. This field upgrade works well if you need cover to get away, or you’re trying to avoid any sneaky snipers. That is, of course, if they don’t have means of finding you regardless.
3. DDoS
Description:Activates a device that deactivates electronics, and disrupts enemy sensors in the immediate area for a short time.
A classic cyberattack, the DDoS will deactivate electronics and enemy sensors in the immediate area for a limited time. It’s a piece of field equipment that works well in game modes where there’s key zones to attack, like Domination and Hardpoint, as there will no doubt be lots of field upgrades to counter with this DDoS.
2. Portable Radar
1. Dead Silence
Description:Temporarily makes your footsteps silent. Gun, melee, and throwing knife kills refresh duration.
Top of our list, for a limited duration, your footsteps are silent. Keeping it quiet means you can stealth and sneak your way around any map. Plus, if you secure yourself a gun, melee, or throwing knife kill, the Dead Silence will get a duration refresh to keep the good times rollin'. Pair this one with thebest MW3 gear, the Bone Conduction Headset, and your footsteps are off the map, and your enemies are very, very much on it.
