S-Tier

These field upgrades have proved to be the most useful compared to others as they offer strong potential in helping out the players using them while trying to execute attacks against enemies. Dead silence masks the sound that a player makes while moving and temporarily increases their speed as well.

The Revive pistol is a great way to help out teammates when downed and when one is in a compromised position away from the rest of the team. The Armor and Munitions Box can help individuals take on prolonged and tedious fights against enemies without worrying about emptying their loot and precious armor.


A-Tier

This tier consists of field upgrades that can prove to be useful in some scenarios and is not exactly a versatile option in Warzone 2. The Trophy system can be utilized to destroy incoming grenades while defending in a confined and closed space on the map. Portable radar is a similar utility that can reveal the position of enemies in immediate proximity.


B-Tier

The recon drone is included in this tier as it can only be used for select scenarios. It leaves the operator completely vulnerable while it is being used. Moreover, it can be easily spotted and destroyed, which can quickly dismantle the strategy and blind the opposing team.


C-Tier

The field upgrades included in this tier are very niche and can be useful only in certain situations that are rarely found. DDOS is a short-range EMP burst that will silence the utilities and detect if there is an enemy in range while not revealing the position of the rival. The deployable cover is a good way to defend oneself from heavy fire but can be easily broken with concentrated fire from any weapon.

Battle Rage is such a utility that it requires an aggressive playstyle where fans love to take up fights and trample through enemy teams. The Suppression mine is another rarely used utility that can disorient players in its immediate area of effect. This mine can be shot and quickly destroyed, removing any advantages for the team.


D-Tier

The inflatable decoy is a new field upgrade that was introduced to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. While being a fun toy to play around with, it does not drastically increase the chances of a player winning a gunfight. It might fool a player or two and provide a general idea of their position, but that is the upper limit of what it can do.
