Infinity Ward, the lead development studio behindCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2and Warzone 2.0, announced via the studio’s official Twitter account that DMZ mode forWarzone 2.0will undergo a full refresh just before the start of the game’s 4th season.
DMZ is Call of Duty’s take on an “Escape from Tarkov” style multiplayer experience, featuring PvEvP gameplay where players must loot and complete faction missions while on the battlefield and then exfil to complete the match.
Updates will include a refresh and reset like that of Season 02 in order to make room for new Mission sets and the new Upgrade [REDACTED].Faction Mission progress will be reset in lieu of the new ability to earn Faction [CLASSIFIED].May 31, 2023

Players logging in at the start of Season 4 can expect to find their contraband, key and mission inventories emptied as a result of the reset. Insured weapon slots, which allow players to take weapons of their choosing into the battlefield rather than starting with empty fists, will also be relocked and new requirements will need to be met by the player in order to unlock them again. Blueprints, previouslyunlocked operator skins, and calling cards will not be reset.
According to Infinity Ward this reset is necessary in order to make room for the new Faction missions and provide an unlock path to allow players to gain access to those new missions. A new upgrade will also be part of the refresh, but Infinity Ward has chosen to keep exactly what the upgrade is or how it will affect DMZ close to their chest for now.
DMZ Season 4 does not yet have an official release date, but it is safe to assume Season 4 will launch on or aroundJune 14, once Season 3 ends.
Call of Duty is undeniably one of the more popularfirst-person shooters on Xboxand PC alike, withModern Warfare 2 having made $1 billion in sales within 10 days of its release. The wait between reaching tier 100 of the battle pass and the start of a new season can be a long one, though. If you’re looking for something to keep you busy until Season 4 launches, why notplan your build for Diablo 4in the meantime.
Call of Duty Points
While Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 and DMZ beta are both free to play you certainly don’t want to be the only one of your squad dropping in with just a generic MilSim uniform. Pick up some COD points so you can grab the Season 4 battle pass or shiny new Operator Bundle.Available on:Xbox|Amazon
