New leaks regarding Warzone 2’s DMZ has revealed the potential missions and objectives that players will be competing in the extraction-style mode.

The excitement is building for both Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, with players gearing up for their releases with the Vanguard and Warzone Pacific Season 5 Reloaded update, which dropped a brand-new Assualt Rifle.

While players will have to wait a month after Modern Warfare 2’s release for the new Warzone, once November 16 comes around, players won’t just be getting the new battle royale, but also the new DMZ mode.

The extraction-style DMZ mode has been a bit of a mystery since its discovery and reveal at Call of Duty Next. However, new leaks have potentially revealed more about the mode, including the objectives and missions players will be completing.

We already knew that Warzone 2’s DMZ mode would be an Escape from Tarkov-style extraction mode, but if these leaks turn out to be true, the missions and objectives list all but confirm it.

Warzone 2 DMZ leaked missions & objectives list

According to the leak, players will be completing objectives by extracting various items such as “enemy grunt weapons,” and a certain amount of “cash in one match.”

The fact that players will be looking to extract cash perhaps suggests that Warzone’s cash currency will also be used in DMZ, and potentially be the currency that players can buy gear and various other items with.

One of the leaked missions even reads “A mission into the DMZ cannot be considered successful without extracting sufficient resources. Fill your backpack before you exfil to maximize your efficiency,” further confirming the extraction aspect of the mode.

There are also missions that are very reminiscent of the multiplayer mode challenges, with players needing to achieve a certain amount of headshots/kills with specific weapon classes on either other Operators or “grunts.”

The leak reveals a ton of information about missions players will be completing in the DMZ, which will be played on Warzone 2’s map, Al Mazrah. However, it’s important to remember that these are just leaks, so take them with a pinch of salt.
