DMZ is a PvPvE mode in Call of Duty: Warzone 2. It was added to the game in Season 1. In this mode, players drop into an Exclusion Zone, loot items therein, complete contracts, and safely extract from the map. The formula was loved by the community, and it quickly grew in popularity.

Over the seasons, the mode has received a lot of upgrades, including new factions, maps, missions, items, and more. The Season 5 update turns things up a notch and aims to deliver a DMZ experience like never before. With that said, this article will take a look at all the DMZ changes in Season 5 of Warzone 2.

What are all the DMZ changes in the Season 5 update of Warzone 2?

The Season 5 patch notes of Warzone 2 DMZ unveiled every little change and new addition coming to the mode in S5. One of the highlighted introductions is the addition of a new faction called the Konni Group.

This faction has raged war against all other factions in the Exclusion Zones. They have eliminated all Cartel soldiers in the Koschei Complex and have taken over it. Moreover, Building 21 is now lost to the Konni Group.

However, not all hope is lost. Shadow Company will now be friendly to all players and assist them in their fight against the Konni Group. That said, if players manage to attack them, they will not hold back and unleash their wrath.

The S5 update also introduced 'Active Combat Zones,' where all the factions will be fighting against each other. This area will be dangerous as the AI soldiers will be able to use Killstreaks in such combat zones. However, it will be equally rewarding to venture into these locations as they contain high-tier loot.

But that's not all. According to the patch notes, the Season 5 update for Warzone 2 has the following new additions and adjustments under its belt:

Gameplay changes

New Field Upgrades

Disguise

• Built for pure stealth engagements, the Disguised Field Upgrade allows you to appear as a member of a DMZ Combatant (AI) Faction. Equip the Disguise and DMZ Combatants of the same faction will not attack unless you blow your cover and act aggressively towards them.

Battle Revive

• An experimental stimulant offering an adrenaline rush as you complete a self-revive: A Self-Revive mixed with pure Battle Rage! After using it to get up from Last Stand, it immediately activates Battle Rage’s effects, allowing you to heal more quickly. The Tactical Sprint is also constantly refreshed for a short period of time.

Self-Revive Box

• Much like an Armor Box, this Field Upgrade holds multiple Self-Revive Kits. Perfect for squad-based infiltrations.
