Field Upgrades are a must for survival and easter eggs, so look below to discover the best Augments for Field Upgrades.
Your movement speed is increased during Tesla Storm

On activation, stun and damage all nearby enemies

Tesla Storm isn’t the most powerful of the Field Upgrades, but it does have a few Augments that can easily save the day. With Tesla Storm, players are going to create a field of electricity around themselves that shocks zombies and even connects to other players, but with the Overclocked Minor Augment, each activation increases movement speed temporarily. That’s 10 seconds of a faster Tactical Sprint to escape the hordes.
As for the Major Augment, players are going to want to use Shockwave, which will stun and damage every enemy type that is within the vicinity of activation, allowing players to combine the two Augments to escape certain death when trapped in a corner, and then rapidly sprint away.
Increase max charges by 1
Major
Carousel
3 Energy Mines will float around you, detonating when an enemy is nearby.

The Energy Mine Field Upgrade is best used for passive attacks due to its explosive potential, but it can be used more efficiently when paired with the Extra Charge Minor Augment, which provides a 4th explosive charge which means more lethal electric damagefor every zombie involved.
One of the best Major Augments for the Energy Mine is the Carousel, which will change the Energy Mine Field Upgrade so that 3 Energy Mines will follow the player’s orbit and detonate when an enemy gets too close for comfort. With Extra Charge, that’s 4 Energy Mines that basically act like a new version of Widow’s Wine.
While Frenzied, use ammo from stock
Frenzied Guard is truly for the players out there who want to maximize their damage and ensure that all eyes are on them when it comes to killing zombies. Since Frenzied Guard restores shields on each kill, and during its duration damage is only dealt to shields and not health, using Extension to increase this duration is a great idea tostay safe from the hordesfor longer.
Not only can players use Frenzied Guard longer, but with the Major Augment of Frenzy Fire, they can use their ammo from their stock instead of their magazine, meaning depending on the gun, players have essentially unlimited ammo to let them get out of sticky situations or focus fire on elite zombies without fear of a reload.
The beam slows enemies on contact
Beam heals and revives other players on contact
Dark Flare isn’t the best Field Upgrade due to how its beam of damage is consistently average, but when paired with the Heavy Shadow Minor Augment, players have a realcontender for tough roundssince the shadow beam will slow enemies on contact, meaning they won’t be able to chase players down as easily.
When this is utilized with the Dark Pact Major Augment, players can focus the beam to an ally to revive them, providing a way out with a Field Upgrade that’s always there for when the situation arises. It’s a team-based Augment for a team-based Field Upgrade.
Minor
Stoic Presence
On activation, special and elite enemies are stunned while normal enemies are knocked down

Revived players keep all perks on their bleed-out bar
Healing Aura is a tad weak on its own due to the fact that it will just give players a quick burst of health, but it can be enhanced with the Stoic Presence Minor Augment, which will stun Manglers, Abominations, and Amalgams, while also knocking down regular zombies. This is great for not only regaining health but also escaping certain death by allowing players torun off to fight another day.
When combined with Persistence, players can use their Field Upgrade to immediately revive players and ensure that they get to keep their Perks in the bleed-out bar, meaning they may lose a few, but they certainly won’t lose them all.
Aether Shroud duration is significantly increased
Nearby players are also cloaked

Being able to phase into the Dark Aether to become invisible to enemies while still damaging them is always going to be powerful, but pairing that with the Minor Augment of Extension to stay in the Dark Aether for even longer isdefinitely a great choice. With this, players have the perfect time to regain lost health, revive fallen allies, and even deal damage to unwavering hordes.
With the Group Shroud Major Augment, players can combine their Field Upgrades with allies to see that everyone benefits. While this is a team-based Augment for those looking to stick together and survive as a team, players are going to benefit when it comes to easter egg boss fights.
