Which Features Are New In DMZ?
Bartering
In Season 3 of Call of Duty: Warzone 2, you will have the option to engage in Bartering at every buy station located within the Exclusion Zones. This feature enables you to exchange items for others by using “recipes,” which provide component lists and instructions for building new equipment to suit your needs.

Initially, you will have access to Bartering recipes for plate carriers, backpacks, killstreaks, self-revive kits, and keys.
However, each Exclusion Zone offers unique Barter options, making exploration an exciting part of the DMZ experience.
Workbench

By paying a modest cash fee, you can use the workbench to equip any unlocked attachments to your contraband or insured weapons.
The workbench also allows you to remove attachments from your weapons, but these services come at a cost.
This is because weapon attachments can significantly change a weapon's performance, so the workbench charges for this attachment-swapping service.
Active Duty Operator Slots

You will have three Active Duty Operator slots, each with its own set of on-soldier items such as backpack, plate carrier, killstreaks, self-revive, and gas mask. You can freely switch the operators in their active slots.
- If you want to enjoy all these new features in DMZ even more, you might want to check out the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller , which gives you the perfect little extra!
Before starting a match in DMZ, you have to choose which Active Duty Operator you will bring into the Exclusion Zone.
Any items obtained during the match, other than global loadout items such as primary weapon, secondary weapon, lethal, tactical, and field upgrade, will be exclusive to the selected Active Duty Operator.
Contraband weapons can be shared among Active Duty Operators, but keys cannot be shared.
New Equipment – Plate Carriers, Backpacks, Rebreather
The new plate carriers are: Tempered, Revive, Comms and Stealth

- The 3 Plate Medic Vest allows faster revives and self-revives, making it ideal for medics in the squad.
- The 3 Plate Comms Vest functions as a signal booster, improving UAV technology and providing audio cues for nearby enemy operators, making it useful for solo runners.
- The Stealth Plate Carrier comes with the Ghost perk, making it perfect for missions where remaining undetected is crucial.
- The 3 Plate Tempered Plate is a different armor system that will see armor plates divided into two half-bars instead of three-thirds, making replating to full quicker and easier.
The new backpacks are: Secure and Scavenger Backpack. Secure Backpacks, as the name suggests, secure items between runs, and Scavenger Backpacks get rid of the third weapon slot and add additional item slots.
The so-called Rebreather is another new feature in DMZ:

It's a new Field Upgrade, designed for amphibious Operators who need to navigate the waterways in Al Mazrah and Ashika Island.
It allows you to breathe underwater for longer periods of time, making it perfect for stealth infiltrations or tricky maneuvers. Additionally, it has multiple uses before it expires and can even be used as a weapon.
These are all the important information on the new features in DMZ, have fun!
