Warzone 2 DMZ – Group Up 

Warzone 2 may put your own survival first and foremost in its battle royale mode, but you won’t get far in DMZ as a lone wolf. This is a team-based mode – played in small squads of 3 – and a game of survival. As well as AI, other player squads will be roaming the map in DMZ mode, and without proper coordination with your own team, they may decide that you look like a tempting target. 

You can populate your squad with friends, but Warzone 2 will provide teammates for you if need be through matchmaking. Don’t just prioritize your own goals but work with your squad to survive and get the most out of every match.

Warzone 2 DMZ – Risk Vs Reward 

DMZ’s perma-death system is unforgiving. No matter how good the equipment you’ve managed to stockpile is, you can very easily lose it all. It’s up to you to decide when it’s worth pushing for better rewards and challenge completion, and when it’s time to head back for exfil and retain what you’ve picked up. 

Thankfully, there’s nothing to stop you from dusting yourself off and trying again, but your experience will be the only thing that carries over to the next game, with some small exceptions.

Use the ‘insured weapon’ feature if you’re particularly attached to one of your current guns, and a short time after death you will be able to regain access to it, even with the rest of your gear gone for good. 

Warzone 2 DMZ – Faction Focus 

Warzone 2 doesn’t just drop you into an open environment with the intent of simply surviving horde-mode style. There are many faction challenges and optional objectives to complete in DMZ mode, from looting specific items, to claiming areas and eliminating specific targets. 

You can have up to three faction goals active at once in any DMZ game, and you can track your progress with each faction between matches, as well as switch and assign new challenges.

Choose Your Battles Carefully 

Warzone 2’s DMZ mode is populated with both enemy AI and other player squads. If you try to take on everyone you come across, you’re likely to be among the first to fall in any given game. Figure out how you want to proceed and which objectives to pursue, and only take the shot once you’re sure it’s worth it and your team will come out on top.
