DMZ allows players to choose from Modern Warfare 2's large arsenal of modern and tactical firearms, which they can deploy into different maps in Warzone 2. Able to earn tons of XP by eliminating enemy AI and players, DMZ provides a new way for players to unlock and level up new weapons and weapon customization options.

Additionally, players can drop in with pre-tuned contraband weapon blueprints and unlock new ones by capturing Weapon Cases, eliminating the Chemist, or eliminating high-value targets through missions.
