The battle between factions will continue to rage in Season 5: “Both sides will be fighting with everything they’ve got, calling in Killstreaks in what is known as Active Combat Zones.

Disguised Field Upgrade
The Disguised Field Upgrade in Season 5 of Warzone 2 DMZ will allow you to take the appearance of a DMZ AI Combatant. Once the Disguised Field Upgrade is activated, “DMZ AI Combatants of the same faction will not attack unless you blow your cover and act aggressively towards them.”
ActivisionBattle Revive
Battle Revive in Warzone 2 Season 5 of DMZ mixes Battle Rage with a Self-Revive for a devastating effect. Battle Rage’s effects will kick in immediately after you’ve gotten up from the downed position.
This combination will allow you to regain health faster and offer an extended period of Tactical Sprint, allowing you to turn a terrible situation into an advantageous one.
Self-Revive Box
The Self-Revive Box in Warzone 2 DMZ Season 5 will hold multiple Self-Revive Kits. This makes it an ideal item for squads infiltrating together.
Scuba Gas Mask
The new Warzone 2 DMZ Scuba Gas Mask will act as a two-in-one, combining the features of a traditional Gas Mask with a Rebreather. It’ll protect you from the gas as well as allow for more breathing time underwater.
