Call of Duty players hit out at Sledgehammer over Vanguard\u2019s \u201cuseless\u201d field upgrades ActivisionCall of Duty: Vanguard players have hit out at the game\u2019s Field Upgrades as \u201cuseless\u201d, calling on developers Sledgehammer Games to improve them over the course of the WWII instalment\u2019s life-span. Field Upgrades, while not new in Call of Duty: Vanguard, are still fairly new to the series more generally. They form part of a player\u2019s Create a Class, offering some extra utility on top of weapon and projectile. In Vanguard there are nine to choose from, each offering players something slightly different to augment their loadout in-game. They are: Supply Box, Deployable Cover, Dead Silence, Goliath, Jammer, Dead Drop, Tactical Insertion, Field Mic and Armor Plates. However, despite the array of equipment on offer, some players are unsatisfied. One post, from Redditor \u2018Kingtinkerer102\u2018, hit out at the Field Upgrades in Vanguard and claimed that \u201cmost of them are useless\u201d. Running through them, they dismissed the Jammer as garbage, while other ones \u2013 like the Field Mic and Tactical Insertion \u2013 are useful in theory but too difficult to deploy and keep from being destroyed. They also denounced the Goliath as an even slower version of the series\u2019 RC-XD killstreak, and also questioned why anyone would use Dead Silence in a game where footsteps are so hard to discern by default. Concluding their post, they called (once again) for Trophy Systems to be added. Up to now, Sledgehammer have refused on the basis that they are not \u2018historically accurate\u2019, despite the fact there weren\u2019t Attack on Titan characters running around in WWII either. Plenty of players responded to echo the OP\u2019s sentiment, calling on Sledgehammer to improve many of the Field Upgrades so they actually impact gameplay and matches. Others, though, countered to say that certain ones \u2013 like the Jammer and Supply Box \u2013 do have their uses in-game, and buffing many of them would make them too strong. It\u2019s ultimately up to Sledgehammer, but more players seemed to want them buffed than those encouraging nerfs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
