Selecting the best Field Upgrade from the six options available in Modern Warfare, 3 Zombies is determined by your play style. In a squad, diversity is important; thus, each member should have a different Field Upgrade to handle varied scenarios efficiently.

For engaging with formidable bosses like Orcus, Gorm'gant, and Greylorm, a combination of Healing Aura, Frenzied Guard, and Tesla Strom works best. Healing Aura not only heals you and your squad but also revives knocked players into the last stand.

The Frenzied Guard will attract all the surrounding zombies to the player who activates it, letting the other teammates fully focus on the boss. Additionally, Tesla Strom assists in handling surrounding zombies since it stuns and damages them, enabling the squad to concentrate on the boss encounter.

For solo players, Aether Shroud is a great option. This Field Upgrade grants temporary invisibility, providing crucial moments to reload or apply armor plates when surrounded by hordes of zombies. It offers a vital escape option when navigating medium or high-threat zones alone.

Additionally, the Energy Mine is also one of the most effective Field Upgrades in MW3 Zombies when surrounded by zombies. It instantly eliminates them upon activation. However, it is best suited for the low and medium-threat zones and is not very effective for the high-threat zone.
