The popular DMZ mode is getting even more updates in Warzone 2 Season 3, including the return of Heavy Choppers which can be used to escape with your loot. Here’s how to exfil using the Heavy Chopper in Warzone 2 DMZ.

Warzone 2 Season 3 is one of the biggest updates to hit the battle royale sequel to date, bringing new weapons like the classic Intervention, a fresh Gulag map, and even the return of one-shot Sniper Rifles.

DMZ players are also receiving new additions, such as the handy Skeleton Keys and the Barter system. That’s not all, Warzone 2 Season 3 is bringing Heavy Chopper back to DMZ, providing Operators with a new way to escape.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to exfil with the Heavy Chopper in Warzone 2 DMZ.

DMZ Heavy Chopper exfil explained

The Heavy Chopper will need to be refueled before use in Warzone 2 DMZ, as its tank will be completely empty at the start of a match. This can be done by tracking down its “special fuel around the airport” to get the vehicle back into the sky.

Once the Heavy Chopper has been successfully refueled, players can simply fly outside the boundaries of the map to begin the exfil countdown. This can be done for free, so there’s no need to worry about collecting cash or other resources.

Here’s a step-by-guide on how to exfil using the Heavy Chopper in Warzone 2 DMZ:

  1. Find the Heavy Chopper on the DMZ map.
  2. Head to the airport and collect fuel for the vehicle.
  3. Head back to the helicopter.
  4. Fill up its tank using the fuel you have collected.
  5. Hop in the Heavy Chopper and fly past the outer boundary of the map.
  6. Wait for the countdown to reach zero.
Players can fly their own Heavy Chopper in Warzone 2’s DMZ mode.

While the Heavy Chopper is a quick and free way of extracting in DMZ, it’s not the only function it can be used for. It’s also a great way to quickly get around the map, so you and your squad can hit up a few locations before running for the exit.

This marks the first time that Heavy Choppers have featured in Warzone 2 after being removed in December due to players exploiting them at the end of battle royale matches. While they remain inactive in BR games, DMZ players can use their tough armor to their advantage.

The devs haven’t revealed where the Heavy Chopper will spawn in DMZ during Warzone 2 Season 3, or if it will be in the same place every game, but don’t be surprised if you have to fight off a number of squads to score the helicopter.

We’ll be sure to update this page once we have more details on where to find the Heavy Chopper in DMZ.
