DMZ changes & bug fixes in Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded

For starters, DMZ players will notice new and improved infiltration and exfiltration points as the devs “added some variations” to both sets of areas. This should allow players to explore different areas of the map in Season 2 Reloaded.

Another key change consists of the possibility of looting upgraded weapons after eliminating enemy combatants. The devs explained that the chances are small, but if you’re lucky, you may be able to exfil with something interesting.

In addition, the requirements for accessing Building 21 have undergone a few tweaks that should make it easier for players to explore. As of Season 2 Reloaded, you won’t need to bring a Building 21 Access Card into the match prior to infiltration. However, the devs make it clear that “at least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration.”

DMZ will continue to take players to Al Mazrah, Ashika Island, and Building 21.

Of course, the devs also took the time to issue several bug fixes that should result in a smoother DMZ experience in Season 2 Reloaded. Some major fixes include the inability to access certain Strongholds and some missions not tracking progress correctly.

Also, DMZ players will be pleased to discover that Combat Records for the mode are now available.

Take a look at the full DMZ patch notes below.

GAMEPLAY

We have updated the usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards:
- Players no longer need to bring Building 21 Access Cards into the match by equipping them prior to infiltration
- At least one Player in a squad must have a Building 21 Access Card in their Inventory to allow infiltration
- If a Player does infil to Building 21 with an Access Card in their Backpack, they will lose that card if they do not extract with it
- This change only impacts Building 21 Access Cards and not the Access/Key Cards for locked spaces inside Building 21, as those must still be equipped in your Backpack prior to infiltration
Enemy combatants in DMZ can now operate or arrive in a variety of vehicles, not just the Armored Truck
We have added some variations to infiltration and exfiltration points
The Destroy Supplies Contract has been updated to reveal the 4 closest safes, instead of revealing all safes within a distance of the Contract
Reduced the total number of vehicles in Modern City for more even distribution of vehicles throughout Al Mazrah
Enemy combatants now have a small chance to drop upgraded weapons upon death
