How does Trophy System work in Call of Duty: Vanguard?

The most requested equipment is finally here.

Call of Duty: Vanguard Season 3 added a new field upgrade, which players can equip in their Multiplayer loadouts. The Trophy System is a deployable defense system that interacts with and destroys up to three incoming explosive projectiles.

This fast recharging field upgrade protects you from enemy launcher rounds and lethal equipment within its restricted radius. However, it doesn't work against Throwing Knife. Here's a list of equipment that the Trophy System can protect you from:

  • Incendiary Grenade
  • Sticky Bomb
  • MK2 Frag Grenade
  • Gammon Bomb
  • Thermite
  • Demolition Charge
  • Molotov Cocktail
  • No. 69 Stun Grenade
  • MK V Gas
  • S-Mine 44
  • Decoy Grenade
  • Ammo Box
  • Trophy System
  • Jammer
  • Field Mic

You can destroy an enemy Trophy System by shooting bullets into it. Moreover, it self-destructs after blocking three explosives or after 45 seconds of deployment. Also note that one player can only deploy two Trophy Systems simultaneously. Attempting to deploy a third destroys the first one.

How to unlock the Trophy System in Vanguard

Players don't need to complete any unlock challenge to access the Trophy System in Vanguard. On the first of the Season 3 update, it had a ridiculously annoying unlock criteria. But Sledgehammer Games, the developer studio, removed the challenge the very next day after community backlash.
