All Equipment and Field Upgrades in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta

Equipment and Field Upgrades are key components in combat.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is currently in open beta, and like all previous games, you can customize your loadouts with a definite set of Equipment and Field Upgrades.

Equipment and Field Upgrades are essential in Call of Duty as these items either support you in different ways or act as another source of damage. Equipment are of two types: Lethal and Tactical.

Field Upgrades are utility items that recharge after use. These items resupply your team with ammo, eliminate projectiles, or enhance senses.

Lethal Equipment is another main source of damage — offensive items that deal damage and often explode. Black Ops 6 beta has five to choose from:

  • Frag: It’s a fragmentation grenade that you can cook and throw.
  • Semtex: It’s a sticky grenade that comes with a timed fuse.
  • Thermo Grenade: It creates a large fuel-air cloud that explodes after a duration.
  • Blast Trap: It’s a planted explosive device that detonates when enemies come near.
  • Combat Axe: Throw this item to kill enemies in one hit. It can bounce off surfaces as well.

The Blast Trap and Combat Axe were not available during the early access beta.

Tactical Equipment are support items that either disorient enemies or aid you in matches. The BO6 beta offers five to choose from:

  • Concussion: Grenade that slows victim’s movement and aiming.
  • Flashbang: Grenade that blinds targets for a duration.
  • Stim Shot: Combat stim that heals wounds and refreshes Tactical Sprint.
  • Prox Alarm: Set of two sticky alarms that ring and flash when an enemy is nearby. Tripped alarms show on allied minimaps.
  • Decoy: A grenade that simulates footsteps and gunfire sounds to confuse enemies and sticks to surfaces.

All Field Upgrades in Black Ops 6 beta

Field Upgrades are powerful utility items that run on a cooldown timer. These items become ready for reuse after a small recharge period.

  • Assault Pack: The Assault Pack deploys a box of extra ammo and equipment to resupply your team.
  • Trophy System: The Trophy System is a deployable defense system that destroys enemy projectiles in the air.
  • Neurogas: The Neurogas is a trap that emits a neurotoxic gas cloud causing severe hallucinations to disorient and damage enemies.
  • Acoustic AMP: The Acoustic AMP is a personal audio amplifier that makes enemy footsteps louder briefly.
  • Sleeper Agent: It helps you infiltrate the enemy team appearing as friendly for a short duration but eliminations will extend the time. Gunfire and enemy intel devices like the UAV or Prox Alarms will reveal your true identity.

Sleeper Agent was not available during the early access beta.

These are all the Equipment and Field Upgrades you get in the Black Ops 6 beta. Use these items wisely to give your weapon loadouts that extra punch needed to outplay enemies.
