Field Upgrades are unique equipment in the new Modern Warfare that you obtain throughout a match. As part of your class creation, you can equip one of these items to use whenever you have the item charged up during a battle.
But did you know you may select two Field Upgrades and choose one or the other? This is known as the Field Upgrade Pro Feature, and it becomes available as you advance through the multiplayer levels.
This guide will let you know about the field upgrades, and how to activate and switch between them.

List of Field Upgrades
Field upgrades is a new element to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, adding another degree of complication to multiplayer encounters. Field enhancements are rechargeable abilities that can help you or your teammates. They are normally less powerful than standard killstreaks, but they recharge whether you are killing objects or not.
Here’s the complete list of the field upgrades:
Field upgrade | Description | Level requirement |
Munitions Box | Provides your comrades with an ammunition replenishment container containing grenades. | 1 |
Recon Drone | Launches a drone for you to operate in order to tag opponents for your squad. | 1 |
Dead Silence | For a brief period of time, makes your footfall quieter. With each kill, it grows. | 10 |
Stopping Power Rounds | Your next reloaded magazine causes more damage. | 19 |
Trophy System | It can destroy up to three incoming missiles or projectiles. | 27 |
Deployable Cover | Creates a steel barricade against which you or your friends can mount. | 30 |
Tactical Insertion | Respawns you wherever you drop the flare. | 40 |
EMP Drone | Using an RC plane, detonate an EMP payload at a certain area. All gadgets in the vicinity are turned off. | 46 |
Weapon Drop | Bring a store of powerful weapons to your location. | 55 |
Activating Field Upgrade Pro
Once unlocked, just go to the multiplayer weapons menu and change your field upgrades to activate this functionality. On the right side of the screen, there is a popup that says “Activate Pro.”
Simply follow the prompt, depending on your platform. For Xbox and PlayStation, it will be the Left Trigger. When you press it, you’ll notice that you now have two spaces for field upgrades. To utilise Field Upgrade Pro, just highlight a second field upgrade and assign it to the second slot.
Switching between Field Upgrades
When you enter a match, your field upgrades will charge normally. When they are fully charged, you will be able to pick between the two upgrades. You will still utilise the Field Upgrade as usual (by pressing the Left and Right Bumper buttons), but you will be given an option for the Left Bumper and a choice for the Right Bumper.
When you choose one of the options, your upgrade will be charged, and you will be able to choose again the next time it charges.
