Field Upgrades are certainly an interesting addition to Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Zombies, and they allow you to add a new layer of complexity to decision-making.

Field upgrades can be considered your ultimate abilities, and they recharge as you clear hordes of zombies. Once active, you can trigger them by pressing the designated button, and they can be extremely useful. At the time of launch, there are five different options available, and all but one remains locked. However, you’ll unlock more of them pretty quickly, and hence, it becomes essential to use the best one.

Which is the best Field Upgrade in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Zombies

Based on my experience so far, all five field upgrades are good, and they have their use case applications. Here are my top two choices so far, but it could change once I have unlocked the full research for all upgrades.

  • Energy Mine: We all start with Energy Mine, and it’s a great choice. It’s very easy to target and fire, and it does immense damage when zombies are clustered tightly. The blasts do AoE damage, and they can help you get out of some really tough spots. Unlike other Field Upgrades, you can start researching the augments pretty quickly as well.
  • Healing Aura: Healing Aura is one of the two support Field Upgrades available to pick, and it’s fantastic when used correctly. Healing Aura unlocks at level 33, and it’s incredible if you’re playing in pre-made squads. When you’re playing solo/with randoms, they might tend to roam around the map, which undoubtedly reduces the potential.

Once you’ve researched all the augments, Aether Shroud will be incredibly powerful. Unlike Healing Aura, Aether Shroud is excellent when you’re playing with randoms/on your own. During the late waves, I sometimes end up being stuck in a spot. Having Aether Shroud is the perfect way to escape and save yourself from another fight.

Regardless of which Field Upgrade you might use, always research the augments to increase their potential.
