DMZ is a new game mode in Call of Duty Warzone 2.0, modeled after games like Escape from Tarkov. It is an extraction-style mode where players have free rein to complete faction-based missions in Al Mazrah, take on additional side objectives, or engage with enemy Operators and AI combatants. Players can also search for valuable loot, with the ultimate goal of fighting to survive until exfiltration. Instead of dropping from a plane, players enter at random points around the map, so not everyone will be completing the same tasks. DMZ is designed to be played in a squad of three, but players can also queue solo or as a duo. The factions in DMZ are the Legion, White Lotus, Black Mous, Crown, and Phalanx, and players main objective is to complete missions given by these five factions. These missions are selected prior to each match and can be completed at your own pace. Looting in DMZ is more complicated than in Warzone 2.0’s battle royale mode, and players will have to manage their storage in a large Backpack, which can carry weapons, equipment, and other items. In DMZ, players can carry two weapons with their maximum amount of ammo, two equipment pieces, a field upgrade, and other items. Successful missions and runs in DMZ give players rewards, from small things like double XP tokens to spend and weapon charms to show off, to bigger deals like actual permanent weapon blueprints and operator.
