What are Field Upgrades in Black Ops 6 Zombies
Field Upgrades are potent tools that provide a chargeable elemental ability, with a cooldown period after each use while they recharge for the next activation.
Their recharge speed is directly influenced by eliminating enemies, rather than relying on the passage of time.

How to use Field Upgrade in BO6 Zombies
To activate a Field Upgrade, press L1 + R1 (or LB + RB) on your controller, or X key on PC. The Field Upgrade must first be fully charged before it can be used.
Once the charge meter is full, a glowing number 1 will display beneath the icon, indicating that the Field Upgrade is ready for use. Keeping an eye on this indicator ensures you can deploy it strategically during critical moments, such as when overrun by zombies or when your team is in desperate need of support.
By default, your Field Upgrade appears in the bottom-right corner, situated between the icons for your tactical and lethal equipment.
