Overclock modifications apply exclusively to tactical gear, lethals, and scorestreaks, unlocked through repeated use during matches. Each deployment of items like grenades or UAVs contributes toward unlocking enhancement tiers.

Once unlocked, activate boosts via Square/X (consoles) or R (PC). Players should test different configurations pre-match to optimize their combat efficiency.

Three enhancement levels exist: base functionality at Tier 1, augmented effects at Tier 2 (reduced cooldowns, expanded radii), and transformative bonuses at Tier 3 (extra charges, adaptive upgrades). Field gear like Trophy Systems gain improved capabilities through stacking buffs.
