Increased Safe Content is a new upgrade that arrived in DMZ with the Warzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded update. Although the feature flew under the radar, it shouldn't be missed. In a DMZ match, players will often come across safes that require drilling to acquire the loot within, which is usually high in value. This upgrade essentially increases the contents of such a safe, providing a ton of extra rewards for the same task.

However, since the patch didn't directly discuss these upgrades, most players are unaware of it. Moreover, it isn't available by default, and users must complete a set of specific challenges to unlock it. That said, in this guide, we'll take a closer look at the Increased Safe Content upgrade in Warzone 2 DMZ and how you can easily unlock it.


How to unlock the Increased Safe Content upgrade in Warzone 2 DMZ?

Unlocking the Increased Safe Content upgrade in Warzone 2 DMZ is pretty simple and straightforward. Here's what you need to do:

  • Reach Reputation level 8 with the Shadow Company Faction. This will make you eligible to unlock the upgrade.
  • Next, you must extract 8 sensitive or classified documents from any Exclusion Zone.
  • Finally, stash $1 million cash in a Dead Drop.

Once the above steps are completed, you will unlock the Increased Safe Content upgrade. When you complete Safecracker contracts, you'll be rewarded with a lot of extra goodies that can go towards better loot/gear or cash for upgrades in a match.

To simplify the entire process of unlocking the safe upgrade, here are some tips for each of the tasks:

Reach Reputation level 8 of the Shadow Company Faction

You can achieve this quickly by completing the Daily Urgent missions of the faction and the usual missions from the main menu. This is the most important step in this entire guide, as without achieving this target, you won't be eligible for unlocking the Increased Safe Content upgrade.
