All DMZ Changes in CoD Season 6, Explained

Each passing season of Call of Duty has ushered in countless updates for DMZ, from new missions to a better-organized menu system. The same could be said for the latest season, where you’ll discover a few other additions that ultimately make the experience more accessible and balanced. In this guide, we’ll show you all DMZ changes for Call of Duty Season 6 to give you an idea of what to expect.

CoD Season 6 DMZ Changes

One of the first significant changes to DMZ is the Assimilation’s 4-player per team maximum limit, which has been previously tweaked in past seasons. That means you won’t be as overwhelmed with larger groups, creating a fairer experience for any type of player. Dog Togs can also be used for Bartering, along with a few price changes for the Buy Station.

Aside from these features, the hostage’s mechanic has improved, as these individuals can no longer be dropped on dirt bikes and can now be extracted from drivable exfil helicopters. To make the Surviving a Hunt Squad contract easier, UAVs will be given to the hunted squad due to the negative feedback from solo players and smaller groups. The frequency of Killstreaks has also been reduced from discoverable loot.

Lastly, a few bug fixes have been implemented into the mode, including unlock requirements for the Crown faction, incorrect Phalanx progression, and a resolution for custom weapons being classified as Contraband.

As for upcoming content, you can look forward to The Haunting and Operation Nightmare events, which will arrive to DMZ and other modes on Oct.17, 2023. Battle Royale features will also be available, giving you enough firepower to eliminate the undead creatures.
