The Haunting update for Warzone 2 has brought in numerous changes for DMZ. Apart from the changes to aesthetics and the limited-time modes, Call of Duty has pushed a few updates to the gameplay that will change how one approaches the mode. These include tweaks to the prices of items in the Buy Stations, such as Backpacks and Gas Masks, along with changes to the loot and more.

That said, in this article, we will take a closer look at all the changes that the mode has received in the latest update.


All DMZ events in Warzone 2 The Haunting update

Warzone 2 DMZ will share its limited-time events with the Battle Royale modes in The Haunting update. Gamers willing to partake in The Haunting will have Al Mazrah as their primary playground. They will be able to infiltrate the map in the dead of the night and take on "anomalies" that will spawn across it.

Players will be provided with six unique missions to undertake, which, upon completion, will reward them with a "Bloody Mess" BAS-P SMG Blueprint. These missions will involve players tracking the location of an "anomaly" marked for them on the Tac map and successfully eliminating them.

It is worth noting here that Operation Nightmare is a limited-time event. Once the event concludes, Al Mazrah will change to its original daytime setting, and the rewards associated with the event will be gone forever.
