@@zombiehunterx6266 tell me how u get some armor when u go down in penthouse or cournels office or in outvreak in the housd challenge lol stupid reply of yours
Frenzy guard is the better panic option because it makes every normal zombie slow af and fills your armor and u may survive the horde of zombies through frost but when your armor is gone then u r gone
@@sirgrizzlypfote6369 frenzied guard is not a panic option. It gives you breathing room yes but a panic option is when you are trapped and need and out. Ao frost blast is definitely a great panic option
I like to drop one on the megaton right before he’s about to split. Also during the dragon challenge I’ll drop a couple in a row & just have the horde chase me thru them.
It can be used for much more than camping. It’s amazing for secure. Just lay bushes around the rocket and run zombie hordes through it. People just don’t have the creativity to learn how to use toxic growth for more than just camping
@@thedoggielovers right. I use it to slow down zombies.. run through it n then I turn around n kill them will they stuck in it. Toxic growth is my main 1 I use
The tesla arc is really good for picking downed team mates. It stuns all enemies around the player allowing you to safely pick up a player without getting attacked.
@@thedoggielovers that can be true, in my experience it's still helpful though as I can use it as a panic button of sorts It's not as useful in that role as Frenzied Guard or Aether Shroud, but for stuff like holdouts it's still good
As someone who often plays Outbreak for hours, Tesla Storm is underrated. Yeah, it might not give you back your armor like Frenzied Guard does but it stuns all enemies for up to 50 points with every tick, it counts pretty much as a double points bonus for any enemy (say you kill a mangler, you get 300 from the kill PLUS another 300 from Tesla Storm) and it also counts for elemental damage, which pretty much instakills megatons and disciples. It is pretty much a pocket double points you can use in the early game then switch to Frenzy once you're set up
I'm jus returning to cold war zombies so I'm glad you're making these types of videos considering that the most recent videos like these are from 3 or 4 months ago. Keep doin what you're doin man, precciate it 💯
Honestly, I think Healing Aura would be much better if they buffed the range of how it stuns enemies. Personally, outside of challenges, Healing Aura is the one I run most of the time no matter if I'm with others or who they are. I will still agree with the ranking overall.
I think healing aura should let the downed player keep every perk they had at least 1 time. Like give us a chance at the high rounds if we mess up with our train or you get hit 10 times at once then we at least have that chance to compose ourselves and last a couple more rounds.
I generally play Outbreak with randoms so Healing Aura is the way to go tbh. Especially with the new Foresaken map I’ve been using it a loooot. Seeing this though makes me want to try using Frenzied Guard or Tesla Storm
Frost Blast has saved me more times than all the others combined. Being able to carry 3 charges that refill quick comes in clutch. Plus running around with Tesla storm while insta-kill is active is always a blast
I find frost blast underrated tbh, it allows you to get out of a bad pinch, it’s fairly effective against elites or specials actually and I’ll use it to revive the homies too since it can give you a 2-3 second safe area
What? Frost blast is the best defensive field upgrade, bar none. Three charges, charges insanely fast, one shots everything around you, and freezes those that didn't instantly die. I love frenzied guard but it takes way too long to recharge, and same goes for tesla storm. Aether shroud is just a worse frost blast as well, even for reviving teammates. You don't need to hide from the zombies if they're all dead/frozen.
Dude did u rly say Aether shroud is a worst frost blast, like it doesn't take much brains to see how false that is. And i don't even use Aether shroud lmao
Frost blast is OP to say the least Getting cornered? Frost blast Your teammate is down? Frost blast You want to eliminate an antire horde with the press of two buttons? Frost blast And on top of all of that it has 3 charges ! And can charge extremely fast The only down side is that it doesnt affect elites much so you ll have to be careful around them
Frost blast got a buff and is actually op as hell. It charges super fast and I use it CONSTANTLY because you get 3 charges. Frozen zombies get instakilled and zombies in immediate range just die. It's actually extremely good now. I almost never go down because of it.
Tesla Storm needs some more love. So good for crowd control, don't need to stay in one spot, and works on all enemies. Having multiple charges definitely better, but also a detonation effect, making it top tier
I gotta highly disagree about Tesla Storm and Toxic Growth. Both are great for solo runs on Outbreak. You just need to know what you want to use them for. Toxic Growth alone tops any other field upgrade in terms of Holdout, Secure, and other objectives that require you to be in a specific zone. Same for use with the Dragon Relic. I personally love using it for the Black Chest. Round up a horde and drop a charge.
ring/toxic, assorted trash, finishs secure in 1 use, and if youre past rnd 4 on outbreak you have a death machine on you 100% which almost insta charges it
Toxic Growth is by far the best field upgrade I use it on every loadout. A little tip for camo grinding use toxic growth next to stamina up on die machina the zombies only come from one direction its so much better than penthouse.
U can also use it in the portal room next to speed cola. It's a little hectic but if ur experienced or have a ray gun with PhD it's one of the fastest methods for high rounds. I usually use toxic growth to camp, makes it very easy. But I'll run ring or aether shroud for Easter eggs.
@@thegodfather255 this spot is OP, if you have a duo you get a growth going at the door and one inside and your mate can run ring of fire and happy days
@@joshharris6629 absolutely, having a duo is definitely the preferred choice. But my friends aren't exactly the people who want to go to round 100 or further💀
Solid rankings. I personally would have put Aether Shroud and Ring of Fire as my top 2. They are both the best for different play styles. AS if you like to train and ROF if you like to camp and ROF is really the only option for high rounds in round based. However in outbreak your rankings make perfect sense to me.
As a round based zombies player, Frost Blast is my go to Field Upgrade. Its uses help a player like me in sticky situations, and in my missions of being "Captain Save a Hoe", as my friends call me. When im cornered, I use it and im out of there. When I need space during Exfil, boom im given breathing room. When I need to revive my partners when they are surrounded by zombies, boom, they are revived and im already across the map wishing them good luck. Therefore I truly believe Frost Blast is best with the Setup of Perks like Juggernog, Stamin Up, Quick Revive, and Speed Cola. I use Deadshot Daquiri over speed cola due to it being my favorite perk, but as for the best 4 first perks to go with the field upgrade its the first 4 ive mentioned. All together, as a team player who runs around a lot and trains, Frost Blast is the most useful Field Upgrade for me and a great reliability for my teammates because they know Captain Save-A-Hoe will be able to rez them no challenge. Edit: Also did I mention its the only Field Upgrade, maybe besides another one, thats has THREE Charges?
Yeah when is tier 5 it kinda makes you immortal since if they damage you you can just get the armor back by killing them also you take no health damage it is absolutely overpowered
The best thing about zombies is you're able to change your field upgrade mid game, but it resets the charge so you have to recharge it but depending on the objective or the round number switching your upgrade may help
I wanna see a new field upgrade called thunder cloud that places a cloud a little bit in front of you over your head and when ever you use it, it works like the electric traps in older zombies maps.
What about vampiric drain? Every 1 min one bullet bursts red and heals everyone by 100 hp. Damages zombies over time for a total of 20% of their health on intial hit. Tier 5 would have full health healing and continuous health regen for 10 seconds. Hows that?
Been watching the channel for a while, finally decided it was time to subscribe due to how astounding the content on this channel is. Keep it up man, I’m a fellow solo player and your advice helps a ton in terms of weapons and strats, thanks 🤝
I one hundred percent agree with your tier list to be honest. Quite good! Though you didn't say you count anything out and you still admit that Energy Mine has its uses... It's actually really underrated as a tool to take out Armour on all enemies as well.
I've told you before but healing aura instantly jumps up to top tier on onslaught accelerated. Since the orb can move so fast you are often outside the circle and can't Regen health, so having both teammates with healing aura let you live much much longer. But yea outside of onslaught accelerated it is pretty basic
Tesla storm is definitely the best it both stun and kills alle zombie special and elite zombie and grants you an insane amount of point i use this for high round zombies
"There are a bunch of field upgrades that can do a bunch of stuff. Energy mine can't. It's very 1 dimensional. It can't do anything outside of like killing a whole horde of zombies." Yeah, if you use it like a C4 then you can only kill a whole horde of zombies, but you can use energy mine for stuff that you can't use C4 for. Energy mine is actually the most versatile field upgrade imo because while things like ring of fire and toxic growth have actually one purpose, energy mine has like 3 main ones that I've found. Yeah, you can kill a whole horde of zombies with it, but you can also revive teammates with it and get unstuck from zombies with it. You can revive teammates with it because it doesn't hurt you and it pulses several times and continues going for 3 seconds so zombies can't get near you if you just throw it down on the person you're reviving. You can get unstuck because it doesn't hurt you can kill a whole horde of zombies with it by just throwing it at your feet, it will kill all the zombies that have you stuck. I'm just so sick of people saying energy mine is the worst field upgrade because they have no creativity.
I agree that’s it’s not bad, but just like the perks they are all fairly good, but if you’re doing a worst to best list, there has to be some losers, and I think Energy Mine takes that.
@@AirLight1646 as a man who's tried every field upgrade while it's tier 5 and still thinks that energy mine is the best, I humbly disagree. I understand why a lot of people like ring of fire but I really just don't understand how it was ever seen as by far the best considering it literally only has one use. I much prefer a panic option to a damage multiplier. For me, it's my least favorite field upgrade because it's almost useless as a panic option, it only serves to increase your DPS.
Toxic growth is fantastic in out break . It's perfect for protecting a objective . Put 3 bushes around the machine with the head in it . Or put on the stairs or a doorway and the zombies line up and run into them. In holdout put outside the windows , to close off 3 entry points .
Almost entirely agree with this list, mine would probably be; 1. Aether Shroud 2. Frenzied Guard 3. Toxic Growth 4. ROF 5. Healing Aura 6. Energy Mine 7. Frost blast (Not gonna rank Tesla as I haven't used it but I would still put it low regardless) Also it should be mentioned another downside of ROF is that anyone standing in it won't recharge their field upgrade
Frost blast is good depending on your play style and which weapon you use the DIE is good with frost blast as well as every melee because the last teir says “Zombies frozen can be insta killed” this works well in Firebase Z where you get swarmed by a lot of special enemy’s and you can do a lot of burst damage on them. It promotes an aggressive melee play and you use it if you need to clear a swarm of your out of position.
Fym tesla storm isnt good in solos? Its amazing in solos, extremely easy to get points early round just run in circles and get the zombies all together and watch them points go up like crazy, especially when theres a double points, its pretty good at saving your life, stuns all the zombies nearby, also isnt tesla storm the one that takes the most kills to recharge or am i wrong?
I swear to god every time I use it, after I kill a horde with it and they’re all dead one of them drops a doubles points. I swear it’s like it’s trying to piss me off lol
Can you tell me the recharge time for each? With and without quick reload? I heard Tesla reloads quicker but I had to get about 50kills before it recharged.
I usually run frost blast. I have a tendency to back myself into a corner. It’s a useful “get out of jail free” card, especially since it has multiple charges on hand. Edit: Tier 3 Healing Aura res’s other players so you can be completely across the map and pick up a downed team mate
I have aether shroud on tier 5 and it is the most clutch thing in the game. You can go at insane speeds and teleport away from the zombies. If you are about to die all you need is aether shroud.
What toxic growth is number one for me. It does so much for the entire team. It kills whatever runs through it. You can drop it near a downed teammate to revive them. When you are trapped drop it and it kills whatever is in front of you and gives you breathing room while you melee to get your health back. Toxic growth is number one in my book.
Frenzied guard or ring is my thing. I like ring because I can just hold down the fire button without reloads. It's gotten me out of situations better than frenzied guard.
I think one thing you missed about telsa storm is how it's the ideal field upgrade to run in early rounds. You get insane amount of points because of the +10 with each shock tick. Higher rounds there are better field upgrades but earlier round telsa storm is the best to use
Question--i thought RIP prevented decay of your "drinks" as long as leveled up max. i lose 50-60% of my perks every time..and its level V.. all of mine are.. am i reading this wrong as to what its suppose to do ??
I'm a solo player and have been playing since world at war healing aura has saved my ass in high rounds on both normal round based and outbreak also toxic growth is semi good in outbreak as long as you know where to place it
It's probably super niche and rare, but aether shroud does NOT make you invulnerable. It simply makes you invisible to zombies, but if you pop it at low health with zombies swinging at you, you can absolutely take damage and die even though the zombies aren't targeting you but they manage to somehow strike you still
I prefer aether shroud or ring of fire depending on how I’m playing but frost blast is definitely really good and I sometimes use it instead of aether shroud
Tbh I love tesla storm solo as it’s really good for getting points if you got a hoard you can just run into the hoard get and easy 10 points for every time you shock them and when you get 2x points it’s an easy few thousand
Frost Blast pros- Three charges, kills all zombies in large radius, freezes zombies who enter, and persists for a second or two. It is the ultimate clutch W.A.N.D in Cold War.
Imo, Toxic Growth is amazing in outbreak, especially with teammates. You can use it on boss enemies as a massive slow that they can't escape if you handle their AI properly. Not to mention it deals armor-piercing percent-based health damage to all zombies, so it never falls off. And if you've gotta deal with an objective, you can lead the zombies into the bush to give you time to deal with it. It's extremely versatile if you put thought into it, and it's basically always up due to the charges and low charge time. The only time it's not useful is as a panic button, but I feel like that's what stuff like flamethrower or attack chopper is for. Still, frenzied guard is the number 1, no questions asked.
I only run ring of fire or toxic growth, and lately, only ring of fire. Its a EAT LEAD EVERYTHING DIES NOW ability that is never not useful. Its perfect tho, but I have been able to get to work well with my strat. If I get cornered which kinda rare but still totally happens, I throw my c4/semtex down, or if I have the ray gun or explosive crbrs I just do that. With phd sliders ofcourse. I love how it works for everything, heavys, elites, bosses, fodder etc. Charges fairly quick, teamates can get in on it. Yeah, you got to become immobile but you simply plan the hunker down and unexist everything in that one direction. I cant get frienzied gaurd to work for me. I might try tesla storm later
I know this is off topic, but how is he playing in multi-player maps? Is it a part of outbreak? I haven't played outbreak since it's release so I have a feeling I'm missing out on a lot of fun!
Was playing outbreak the other day and saw someone running toxic growth on a sniper build. They’d just find a spot lay down their growths and then snipe away . I hate using snipers but it low key made me want to try it.
I often play with my sister and her boyfriend/our room mate and I always run energy mine, sister runs healing aura, roommate runs frost blast and it's clutch as fuck
Tesla storm is perfect solo for all different scenarios, I couldnt believe how effectice it turned out..I use it in the beginning for building points, and later its really strong and kills so much...between ether (#1) or frenzied ( also #1)
How can we get the field upgrades more powerful? I have played so much and I can’t get toxic growth. I can’t wait ven get it on the first at all. I have been playing for 4 years and I can’t figure out how. Can you please let me know?
I just stick with aether shroud. Not saying I’m the best zombies player because I usually make a couple mistakes when training so it’s always good to have that
I use energy mine on firebase z. The raik just doesnt do it with rof for me. Its not the crbrs or the ray gun so the energy mine perfectly fits that spot. Two raik orbs kills every zombie and charges ur energy mine. I think its the most fun strat
I always wonder when teammates tell you in the ending that they have more kills than you, " yeah, because my frenzied always attracked all enemies immediatly away from you so you have free shooting window, regardless you were about to go down again "...ha
Glad you showed toxic growth some love. Best thing they’ve added to zombies in years. The fact you can create your own camping strats give it so much replay ability IMO
Still gonna constantly run healing. Me and all the friends I usually play with have been playing since bo1, but should they slide into a group and get trapped or they get hut by that fucking mangler blast, I can get them up right away
Before I watch the video I have to say frenzied gaurd is the best no doubt. Bring able to activate instantly taking no damage at all and everything moving extremely slow. It's literally the best field upgrade for all modes and making all zombies on the map come after you (apart from elites)
I would run frenzied guard, because I like the idea that my team mates can run around and go get armor but I play in a duo, and if one of us goes down we need to get eachother up FAST, thats why I usually run tesla storm, I just think its better than aether shroud cause your team mate has a few seconds of invulnerability when he gets up, so thats why I dont run frenzied
Aether shroud is easily #1. Can easily revive teammates, save your life if trapped in a corner, or if you go down then use it to buy perks at the machine mid round without disturbance, etc
Honestly I think my favorite is ring of fire just because it’s really helpful like in die machine when me and my team of randoms are in the higher waves most of us are just in different positions around the map sitting there farming zombies so it’s usually pretty good for if you at the top of the wing in crash sight to use it and just destroy the zombies
Frenzied guard is the best literally run it on all my classes all the zombies chase you if they hit you they explode killing zombies recharges your armour it replenishes your armour completely on activation and it slows zombies to walking speed and you only take damage to armour when activated best for crowd control out of all of them can be used offensive and defensive.
I've used toxic growth when we were going for a high round, but you can't use it to revive teammates so we didn't even beat our PB. Still a damn good field upgrade though.
If you feel so inclined to check out the merch, please let me know if you get one
I might buy it idk

@Nikko vasquez No, it looks cooler.
You forgot about the points you can rack up with tesla storm. Especially you get double points. I've gotten close to 8000 points off one charge.

I wanna see a new field upgrade called thunder cloud that places a cloud a little bit in front of you over your head and when ever you use it, it works like the electric traps in older zombies maps.
What about vampiric drain? Every 1 min one bullet bursts red and heals everyone by 100 hp. Damages zombies over time for a total of 20% of their health on intial hit. Tier 5 would have full health healing and continuous health regen for 10 seconds. Hows that?
@@Gamerich-ge9ol meh. Not useful. Continuous health regen only works if there's continuous health damage which you must avoid.
Fair point
Been watching the channel for a while, finally decided it was time to subscribe due to how astounding the content on this channel is. Keep it up man, I’m a fellow solo player and your advice helps a ton in terms of weapons and strats, thanks 🤝
I one hundred percent agree with your tier list to be honest. Quite good! Though you didn't say you count anything out and you still admit that Energy Mine has its uses... It's actually really underrated as a tool to take out Armour on all enemies as well.
I've told you before but healing aura instantly jumps up to top tier on onslaught accelerated. Since the orb can move so fast you are often outside the circle and can't Regen health, so having both teammates with healing aura let you live much much longer. But yea outside of onslaught accelerated it is pretty basic
I can't tell you how many times tesla storm has saved my ass on high rounds because you're basically invincible.
Tesla storm is definitely the best it both stun and kills alle zombie special and elite zombie and grants you an insane amount of point i use this for high round zombies
Your list valid imo lol. I loved energy mines at launch and then slowly put it away in the "Cave of forgotten stuff" and here we are.
"There are a bunch of field upgrades that can do a bunch of stuff. Energy mine can't. It's very 1 dimensional. It can't do anything outside of like killing a whole horde of zombies."
Yeah, if you use it like a C4 then you can only kill a whole horde of zombies, but you can use energy mine for stuff that you can't use C4 for. Energy mine is actually the most versatile field upgrade imo because while things like ring of fire and toxic growth have actually one purpose, energy mine has like 3 main ones that I've found. Yeah, you can kill a whole horde of zombies with it, but you can also revive teammates with it and get unstuck from zombies with it. You can revive teammates with it because it doesn't hurt you and it pulses several times and continues going for 3 seconds so zombies can't get near you if you just throw it down on the person you're reviving. You can get unstuck because it doesn't hurt you can kill a whole horde of zombies with it by just throwing it at your feet, it will kill all the zombies that have you stuck. I'm just so sick of people saying energy mine is the worst field upgrade because they have no creativity.
I agree that’s it’s not bad, but just like the perks they are all fairly good, but if you’re doing a worst to best list, there has to be some losers, and I think Energy Mine takes that.
@@AirLight1646 as a man who's tried every field upgrade while it's tier 5 and still thinks that energy mine is the best, I humbly disagree. I understand why a lot of people like ring of fire but I really just don't understand how it was ever seen as by far the best considering it literally only has one use. I much prefer a panic option to a damage multiplier. For me, it's my least favorite field upgrade because it's almost useless as a panic option, it only serves to increase your DPS.
Toxic growth is fantastic in out break . It's perfect for protecting a objective . Put 3 bushes around the machine with the head in it . Or put on the stairs or a doorway and the zombies line up and run into them. In holdout put outside the windows , to close off 3 entry points .
We playing zombies and you’re over here playing tower defense.
Almost entirely agree with this list, mine would probably be;
1. Aether Shroud
2. Frenzied Guard
3. Toxic Growth
4. ROF
5. Healing Aura
6. Energy Mine
7. Frost blast
(Not gonna rank Tesla as I haven't used it but I would still put it low regardless)
Also it should be mentioned another downside of ROF is that anyone standing in it won't recharge their field upgrade
The fact that you are on round 16 on outbreak is incredibly, I can’t get passed round 4 without getting bored
Most true comment here
Frost blast is good depending on your play style and which weapon you use the DIE is good with frost blast as well as every melee because the last teir says “Zombies frozen can be insta killed” this works well in Firebase Z where you get swarmed by a lot of special enemy’s and you can do a lot of burst damage on them. It promotes an aggressive melee play and you use it if you need to clear a swarm of your out of position.
I couldn't agree with the list more. I kind of thought frenzied guard was trash when it came out, but I was so wrong. Now it's my go to. Free armor
Fym tesla storm isnt good in solos? Its amazing in solos, extremely easy to get points early round just run in circles and get the zombies all together and watch them points go up like crazy, especially when theres a double points, its pretty good at saving your life, stuns all the zombies nearby, also isnt tesla storm the one that takes the most kills to recharge or am i wrong?
I swear to god every time I use it, after I kill a horde with it and they’re all dead one of them drops a doubles points. I swear it’s like it’s trying to piss me off lol
How did you put healing aura over frost blast
Can you tell me the recharge time for each? With and without quick reload? I heard Tesla reloads quicker but I had to get about 50kills before it recharged.
I heard Death Perception helps get field upgrades more quickly.
I usually run frost blast. I have a tendency to back myself into a corner. It’s a useful “get out of jail free” card, especially since it has multiple charges on hand.
Edit: Tier 3 Healing Aura res’s other players so you can be completely across the map and pick up a downed team mate
I have aether shroud on tier 5 and it is the most clutch thing in the game. You can go at insane speeds and teleport away from the zombies. If you are about to die all you need is aether shroud.
What toxic growth is number one for me. It does so much for the entire team. It kills whatever runs through it. You can drop it near a downed teammate to revive them. When you are trapped drop it and it kills whatever is in front of you and gives you breathing room while you melee to get your health back. Toxic growth is number one in my book.
the Aether burst from the batteries in outbreak needs to be a field upgrade ngl.
Frost blast is like a better version of it.
i use Frost Blast And The AMP63 Duel Wield With The Frost Attachment..and it has made me almost un killable in Zombies =D
Frenzied guard or ring is my thing. I like ring because I can just hold down the fire button without reloads. It's gotten me out of situations better than frenzied guard.
I think one thing you missed about telsa storm is how it's the ideal field upgrade to run in early rounds. You get insane amount of points because of the +10 with each shock tick. Higher rounds there are better field upgrades but earlier round telsa storm is the best to use
Frenzied guard is all I use in outbreak, and ring during holdout. Literally frenzied guard is the best for outbreak!
Question--i thought RIP prevented decay of your "drinks" as long as leveled up max.
i lose 50-60% of my perks every time..and its level V.. all of mine are..
am i reading this wrong as to what its suppose to do ??
You need to revive yourself with it.
I'm a solo player and have been playing since world at war healing aura has saved my ass in high rounds on both normal round based and outbreak also toxic growth is semi good in outbreak as long as you know where to place it
It's probably super niche and rare, but aether shroud does NOT make you invulnerable. It simply makes you invisible to zombies, but if you pop it at low health with zombies swinging at you, you can absolutely take damage and die even though the zombies aren't targeting you but they manage to somehow strike you still
I prefer aether shroud or ring of fire depending on how I’m playing but frost blast is definitely really good and I sometimes use it instead of aether shroud
Frostblast is good it’s cheap and a good save me along with being great in a lot of high round strats way better than healing aura
Tbh I love tesla storm solo as it’s really good for getting points if you got a hoard you can just run into the hoard get and easy 10 points for every time you shock them and when you get 2x points it’s an easy few thousand
Frost Blast pros- Three charges, kills all zombies in large radius, freezes zombies who enter, and persists for a second or two. It is the ultimate clutch W.A.N.D in Cold War.
I like frost blast for solo. Or tesla storm isn't bad for solo. Or onslaught containment. Frost helps so u have time to revive teammates.
Imo, Toxic Growth is amazing in outbreak, especially with teammates. You can use it on boss enemies as a massive slow that they can't escape if you handle their AI properly. Not to mention it deals armor-piercing percent-based health damage to all zombies, so it never falls off. And if you've gotta deal with an objective, you can lead the zombies into the bush to give you time to deal with it. It's extremely versatile if you put thought into it, and it's basically always up due to the charges and low charge time.
The only time it's not useful is as a panic button, but I feel like that's what stuff like flamethrower or attack chopper is for.
Still, frenzied guard is the number 1, no questions asked.
It's great as a panic button u just gonna smash the button while you are looking down, it saved my life so many times
Would u say that having the 4 player limit one healing one toxic one Tesla and one ring of fire would be good then ?
How are you playing Nuketown in zombies mode...I have been playing Cold War zombies for over a year and never noticed this as an option.
How are you playing zombies on multiplayer maps? Sorry new to the game
I only run ring of fire or toxic growth, and lately, only ring of fire. Its a EAT LEAD EVERYTHING DIES NOW ability that is never not useful. Its perfect tho, but I have been able to get to work well with my strat. If I get cornered which kinda rare but still totally happens, I throw my c4/semtex down, or if I have the ray gun or explosive crbrs I just do that. With phd sliders ofcourse. I love how it works for everything, heavys, elites, bosses, fodder etc. Charges fairly quick, teamates can get in on it. Yeah, you got to become immobile but you simply plan the hunker down and unexist everything in that one direction. I cant get frienzied gaurd to work for me. I might try tesla storm later
I know this is off topic, but how is he playing in multi-player maps? Is it a part of outbreak? I haven't played outbreak since it's release so I have a feeling I'm missing out on a lot of fun!
It’s Onslaught, the PlayStation exclusive game mode :)
Was playing outbreak the other day and saw someone running toxic growth on a sniper build. They’d just find a spot lay down their growths and then snipe away . I hate using snipers but it low key made me want to try it.
I often play with my sister and her boyfriend/our room mate and I always run energy mine, sister runs healing aura, roommate runs frost blast and it's clutch as fuck
Does frenzied guard make you invincible? Always had me on edge since it forces all zombies to attack you. I usually use ring or aether
Tesla storm is perfect solo for all different scenarios, I couldnt believe how effectice it turned out..I use it in the beginning for building points, and later its really strong and kills so much...between ether (#1) or frenzied ( also #1)
You aren’t getting to round 100+ with it though. Ring of fire is so much more effective then Tesla storm

Great vid man
How can we get the field upgrades more powerful? I have played so much and I can’t get toxic growth. I can’t wait ven get it on the first at all. I have been playing for 4 years and I can’t figure out how. Can you please let me know?
1. RoF 2. Toxic growth 3. Healing aura 4. Tesla storm 5. Aether shroud(for noobs imo) 6. Energy mine 7. Frenzied guard.
Using frenzied guard to pick up perks after being downed is goated
If I’m playing with friends your gonna get yelled at if you’d not playing healing aura
I always use Tesla storm in early rounds for points
I just stick with aether shroud. Not saying I’m the best zombies player because I usually make a couple mistakes when training so it’s always good to have that
same here, i switch to other every now and then but mostly i stick with aether shroud
What game mode is that in the game play is it still around ?
after buff... the frost blast is better than, energy mine, aether shroud, healing aura, toxic growth and tesla storm.
Aether shroud has been my favorite and most used since day one. Love it!
I use energy mine on firebase z. The raik just doesnt do it with rof for me. Its not the crbrs or the ray gun so the energy mine perfectly fits that spot. Two raik orbs kills every zombie and charges ur energy mine. I think its the most fun strat
I always wonder when teammates tell you in the ending that they have more kills than you, " yeah, because my frenzied always attracked all enemies immediatly away from you so you have free shooting window, regardless you were about to go down again "...ha
Glad you showed toxic growth some love. Best thing they’ve added to zombies in years. The fact you can create your own camping strats give it so much replay ability IMO
As a co-op player I primarily use Tesla storm all the time for panick since I am not good at the game
How is he playing on the map nuke town????
Frenzied guard benefits you more than your teammates but making the zombies walk so then you know you can all have quite a long break is really good
Still gonna constantly run healing. Me and all the friends I usually play with have been playing since bo1, but should they slide into a group and get trapped or they get hut by that fucking mangler blast, I can get them up right away
Before I watch the video I have to say frenzied gaurd is the best no doubt. Bring able to activate instantly taking no damage at all and everything moving extremely slow. It's literally the best field upgrade for all modes and making all zombies on the map come after you (apart from elites)
I love choppers inclusion of newer zombies players and how we as a community should embrace new players and help them get their bearing when we can
Hmm, the sweater has a slight hardcore/metal vibe to it (also your logo itself), you into music heavier than the eagles?
Healing aura is for when you play and all your teammates suck
Thank you this video was helpful for me cause I haven't fully upgraded everything yet and don't know all abilities
I would run frenzied guard, because I like the idea that my team mates can run around and go get armor but I play in a duo, and if one of us goes down we need to get eachother up FAST, thats why I usually run tesla storm, I just think its better than aether shroud cause your team mate has a few seconds of invulnerability when he gets up, so thats why I dont run frenzied
You can change the color of enemies?
Aether shroud is easily #1. Can easily revive teammates, save your life if trapped in a corner, or if you go down then use it to buy perks at the machine mid round without disturbance, etc
You can do all that with tesla storm tho, and its easy points
Honestly I think my favorite is ring of fire just because it’s really helpful like in die machine when me and my team of randoms are in the higher waves most of us are just in different positions around the map sitting there farming zombies so it’s usually pretty good for if you at the top of the wing in crash sight to use it and just destroy the zombies
Frenzied guard is the best literally run it on all my classes all the zombies chase you if they hit you they explode killing zombies recharges your armour it replenishes your armour completely on activation and it slows zombies to walking speed and you only take damage to armour when activated best for crowd control out of all of them can be used offensive and defensive.
How do I play this surge mode?
When I'm playing team based I use toxic growth to also help teammates up depending on how they're positioned
I've used toxic growth when we were going for a high round, but you can't use it to revive teammates so we didn't even beat our PB. Still a damn good field upgrade though.
@@thymerhemann3230 Zombies coming in one direction behind use it to block them while hip firing in the other
@@Se777enthLevel is that for reviving teammates or is that just a way to use it
@@thymerhemann3230 it's a way to use it while trying to revive a teammate and you don't have armor or revive to do it faster
