The Tactical Equipment and Field Upgrades of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are valuable tools players can utilize throughout the match. In this guide, we’ll provide details about these items and how they can be helpful during intense rounds. We’ll also briefly discuss the current list of Lethal equipment, which are additional tools you can use.
All Tactical Equipment in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Tactical equipment in CoD Modern Warfare 2 can help target enemies and cause a state of confusion to any nearby opponents. Here is a list of these particular items and what they can do:
| Flash Grenade | Blinds and deafens enemies. |
| Shock Stick | Electrical device that can stick to surfaces and has the power to electrocute enemies, destroy equipment, and causes vehicles to go haywire. |
| Decoy Grenade | Counter-intel grenade that stimulates gunfire, movement, and radar signatures to confuse the enemy. |
| Stun Grenade | Slow down the opponent’s movement and aiming. |
| Smoke Grenade | Initiate a smoke screen that blocks vision and automated targeting systems. |
| Tear Gas | Tactical explodes on impact with the ground and releases a cloud of tear gas that can cause slowed movement, blurred vision, and coughing. |
| Spotter Scope | Spot and mark enemies from a distance. |
| Medical Syringe | Temporarily heal maximum health over 2 seconds (weapons can be used one-handed during this time.) |
| Snapshot Grenade | Provides a momentary glimpse of enemies within the blast radius of your team. |
| Heartbeat Sensor | A limited-use tablet that can display rough information about nearby enemies. |
All Field Upgrades
The fan-favorite Field Upgrade mechanic has returned to the Call of Duty franchise with Modern Warfare 2. With this bonus, you’ll be able to use quirks that can prolong your duration in battle. Each Field Upgrade has a slow, medium, or fast recharge rate, so be sure to keep that in mind when selecting one. You’ll also be able to see your meter on the right-hand side (it will illuminate when ready):
Here is a list of all Field Upgrades of CoD Modern Warfare 2:
| Deployable Cover | Portable ballistic cover to protect you against enemy attacks. |
| Tactical Insertion | Marks a location as your next spawn point. |
| Trophy System | Destroys up to three nearby pieces of equipment and projectiles (some larger targets may take multiple shots.) |
| Dead Silence | Footsteps are silent for a limited time. Gun, melee, and throwing knife kills refresh duration. |

| Battle Rage | An experimental stimulant that will give you an adrenaline rush, resulting in faster health regeneration, resistance to Tactical Equipment, and a consistent refreshment of Tactical Sprint. |
