Call of Duty: Vanguard is the latest installment in the popular first-person shooter series, developed by Sledgehammer Games and Treyarch, it was released last November to an array of criticism relating to glitches and lack of content. Now five months into the game's lifecycle, some players are still not satisfied with Vanguard's field upgrade system when venturing into its multiplayer mode.

Field upgrades act as an extra perk in Call of Duty: Vanguard, recharging over time within matches, adding an extra element of strategy to the fast-paced gameplay, and allowing players to aid teammates or benefit themselves when engaging in gunfights. However, one player has taken to Reddit to outline why their inclusion in multiplayer is useless. The field upgrades in question are the supply box, Goliath, dead silence, jammer, deployable cover, armor, field mic, tactical insertion and, dead drop which allows killstreaks upon death.

A Redditor by the name Kingtinkerer102 has detailed some issues of the field upgrades on offer in Call of Duty: Vanguard. The user highlights that both armor and the tactical insertion take too long to use, which can result in the player’s death, and there is no point in dead silence when footsteps are already indiscernible. They continue to say that some field upgrades have limited capability, with the deployable cover being practical for completing long-shot camo challenges and while the supply box can be reasonably useful, its explosion on impact can become more of a hindrance to teammates. Additionally, the OP points out that the field mic upgrade is too vulnerable to killstreaks and tank-like Goliath is too slow to be of service.
