CoD Warzone DMZ Mode launches November 16 with Modern Warfare 2 Season 1: The Game’s First Season.
The game also launches with Call of Duty’s new DMZ extraction mode. Activision is giving little information, but content creators were able to live stream gameplay from DMZ at a reveal event held on November 9. We have compiled everything we learned from the reveal event about DMZ.
Activision describes the mode as “DMZ,” which is open-world and narrative-focused. Operator squads can complete faction-based missions, engage with enemy Operators, or AI combatants, search for valuable items, and fight to escape toward exfiltration.
Call of Duty’s new DMZ mode appears to be Call of Duty’s version of the extraction shooter genre. Players can drop in as a trio on Warzone’s Al Mazrah Map to loot, fight, and extract. You can earn XP or cash by completing objectives. Players have the option of choosing how they want to play. They can drop into a match to loot, look for gunfights, or complete specific objectives.
Like other extraction shooters, such as Escape From Tarkov or Hunt: Showdown, players can keep all weapons and loot from a successful extraction. However, they will lose everything if the extraction fails.
DMZ will use many of Warzone 2.0‘s mechanics and features. This includes the new Stronghold Locations on Al Mazrah. Players can access high-tier loot within the Stronghold buildings by looting or scavenging keys. Each key can be assigned to a specific Stronghold. There are many Stronghold locations across the map. Players can enter the Stronghold to clear out AI opponents and get random high-tier loot. Or, the keys may be sold at Buy Stations for cash.
Modern Warfare 2‘s AI enemies can be found throughout the map. AI enemies of recruit (easy) rank can be found in buildings and other locations. However, AI near Strongholds and objective areas are more difficult to defeat.
There is also a backpack system within DMZ. Players start with a small pack that can hold five items. You can either scavenge or buy larger backpacks at Buy Stations. These backpacks can hold valuables, such as objects needed to complete objectives, or random junk that can be traded for cash. These items can include food, comic books, batteries, and tools. While some tools may be helpful, it is unclear how many will be used beyond loot for cash. Drills can be stolen to open safes that usually contain tons of cash and other valuable items, such as UAVs. If you wish to be more game as soon as possible, 2 Player Games Unblocked is for you.
It’s common to see a lot of money in DMZ. This is likely due to the hefty price tags of high-end items at the Buy Station. Advanced UAV streaks cost $12,000 and reveal all players on the map. Upgrades to medium backpacks are available for $5,000, and two-plate armored vests are available for $7,500.
DMZ allows full access to all Al Mazrah vehicles. These vehicles no longer have unlimited fuel capacities. To keep their vehicles running through matches, players must refill them with gas at stations or with gas cans they have gathered.
In both modes, there is a new interrogation function. This is similar to Caveira’s operator ability in Rainbow Six Siege. A player can knock an opponent to “interrogate” them and reveal their location on the map.
DMZ has a unique feature that is not available elsewhere. Players can revive their teammates at their death place at any point during the match. The blue health icon that indicates the death of a teammate is marked in red. There are no additional steps or time limits to bring back teammates.
The event did not show the long-term rewards or incentives for playing DMZ or having successful extractions. However, Activision announced that more information would be available ahead of next week’s launch.
Season 1 of Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2.0 will bring plenty of new content and modifications, including a revamped battle pass and a significant overhaul to the seasonal Prestige system. Call of Duty will also bring three of the world’s most prominent soccer/football players to Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2.0. The Modern Warfare FC event will begin after Season 1.
Which mode do you want me to focus my coverage on when Season 1 drops on November 16th with Warzone 2 AND DMZ?
