Underused Warzone field upgrade gets huge buff in MW3 integration
During a developer meeting with content creators, Warzone developers revealed various information ahead of the Modern Warfare 3 integration, including the confirmation that the Portable Radar is getting a massive buff.
TheWarzone metais primarily defined by loadouts, more specifically weapons, and perks. These are the tools that enable playstyles and let each player shine in their own way.
However,Field Upgradescan be just as impactful and even more important in the right situation. A well-timed Dead Silence to flank quietly or a Trophy System to protect a vehicle can be incredibly valuable.
The Field Upgrade meta wasn’t overly diverse inWarzonepreviously, but upcoming changes to an underused option could see that change inSeason 1.

The Warzone Season 1 integration of Modern Warfare 3 will see the Portable Radar get a sizable buff potentially even elevating it into the meta.
This was stated in a developer call and latertweeted by Primrozewho amongst other changes stated, “Portable Radar Distance isdoubled to 76M,” confirming that the underrated Field Upgrade is set to receive a huge buff.
I just attended a meeting with Call of Duty on the new Warzone. Here’s what I learned (it’s a lot)👇• Map size is 20% smaller than Al Mazrah• New Circles and zone timings equal to a total game time of 20 minutes (may be increased by ~30 seconds depending on how it plays out)…
To provide some context on what 76 meters means in practical terms, that’s roughly the distance from one end of Scrapyard to the other. Now imagine that but across the Portable Radar’s entire radius.
The jump from 38 meters to 76 meters is significant as the prior would only cover a section of a building at most while the latter will cover most buildings in their entirety. This should let teams lockdown areas better or scout ahead before pushing an enemy squad.

It is worth noting that Portable Radar will still be countered by Ghost limiting its use in some scenarios. Even so, it looks like it will be a much stronger option in Warzone this time around and could even become meta.
