Devs are hard at work around the clock trying to make Warzone the best game it can be. But, sometimes, the best ideas for the improvements come from the community, and it’s happened again with this great idea field upgrade idea from Modern Warefare.

Warzone Season 5 is well and truly underway, and with Call of Duty: Vanguard on its way, the battle royale could look very different in the coming weeks.

Although big changes like the addition of anti-cheat will be welcomed by fans, some have come up with ideas of their own to make the game. One of which would see a campaign item from Modern Warfare return as a field upgrade to help tackle campers.

Warzone player stood on ladder

A post from Reddit user Eleemax proposed that the collapsable ladders used in the Modern Warfare mission Clean House would make an interesting addition to Warzone’s ground loot. These placeable tools would allow access to buildings through windows that are currently inaccessible.

The thinking behind this idea is that it would give players an option to take out enemies who are camping.

By making open windows a possible route into houses and buildings, those camping would have to cover far more entrances than they do at the moment, making it far easier to get the drop on a rival player.

They proposed the item could be found as a field upgrade, like Dead Silence, to ensure not every player is carrying ladders around and keep things balanced.

The biggest drawback other users pointed out with the proposed field upgrade is the size of many of Verdansk’s structures. While handy for climbing in a two-story window, it would take a comically big ladder to reach some of the tallest buildings on the map, which certainly limits its use.

However, others proposed this could be used as a building block for a different feature to help combat campers. Shimmy311 argued that a grappling hook similar to the one coming to Battlefield 2042 could work.

It remains to be seen if Raven Software will take not of the communities suggestion and add it into the game in a later update. For more on Warzone, be sure to check out the best Ghost loadout for Season 5 and the latest patch notes.
