Bold new additions are coming to Call of Duty: Warzone’s DMZ mode in Season 5. This open-world extraction experience allows operators to complete missions and acquire loot in Al Mazrah. The latest DMZ patch brings fresh gear and challenges to test even the most seasoned veterans.
DMZ Season 5 Update Details
Disguise Like the Enemy
A headline field upgrade is the Disguise ability. Equip this, and factions will mistake you for one of their own AI combatants. Players can stealthily infiltrate camps wearing enemy uniforms. However, they must avoid aggressive actions to keep their cover intact. The Disguise field upgrade is perfect for discreet infiltrations and flanking maneuvers.
Battle Rage After Self Revive
Another groundbreaking field upgrade, Battle Revive offers a adrenaline-fueled self revival. Upon activating from Last Stand, it immediately triggers Battle Rage status. This means rapidly replenishing health and endless tactical sprinting for a short period. Battle Revive lets operators quickly rejoin firefights after getting downed.
Carry Multiple Self Revives
The Self-Revive Box field upgrade functions like an armor box for self revives. It holds multiple self revive kits for squad-based missions. Players can distribute them as needed, offering lives to spare. This equipment is ideal for difficult infiltrations requiring tenacity.
Added Protection From Toxins
A new gas mask variant called the Scuba Gas Mask also debuts in DMZ Season 5. It supplies defense against radioactive winds and waterborne toxins. Unlike standard masks, the scuba allows extensive underwater breathing. Operators can explore submerged areas while protected from airborne and aquatic hazards.
More Missions Infiltrate the Zone
New main story missions and urgent side missions populate the zone in Season 5. These assignments will uncover more of DMZ’s narrative while rewarding operators with loot for their efforts. Locations have also been adjusted to encourage new strategies.
Former Enemies Become Uneasy Allies
An updated story wrinkle involves Shadow Company forces allying with operators. They promise not to fire first against comrades to defeat the mutual Konni Group threat. However, this alliance remains uneasy. Friendly fire provocation can still spur Shadow Company into hostile action. Tensions run high even among allies in DMZ’s war-torn zones.
With these major shakes ups infiltrating DMZ, Season 5 looks to be the most action-packed yet. Operators must adapt their tactics to new tools and treasonous allegiances on the ground. Survival in DMZ requires cunning adaptation. Those who can outthink enemies, utilize new gear, and complete reshuffled missions will walk away victorious. The fight for Al Mazrah just gained bold new dimensions. Survival of the smartest awaits.
