With each new season of Call of Duty, players can expect a slew of updates for the DMZ mode. Season 6 is no exception, introducing several changes that aim to enhance accessibility and balance. In this guide, we will outline all the DMZ changes for Call of Duty Season 6, giving you a comprehensive preview of what to expect.
CoD Season 6 DMZ Changes
The first significant change in DMZ for Season 6 is the maximum limit of 4 players per team in Assimilation. This change is meant to create a fairer and less overwhelming experience for all players, regardless of their group size. Additionally, players can now use Dog Tags for bartering, and there have been adjustments made to the prices of items at the Buy Station.
Another improvement to the DMZ mode is the enhanced mechanic for hostages. They can no longer be dropped on dirt bikes and can now be extracted from drivable exfil helicopters. To address feedback from solo players and smaller groups, the Surviving a Hunt Squad contract now grants a UAV to the hunted squad. The frequency of Killstreaks found in loot has also been reduced.
Several bug fixes have been implemented as well, addressing issues such as unlock requirements for the Crown faction, incorrect Phalanx progression, and the classification of custom weapons as Contraband. These fixes aim to improve the overall gameplay experience in DMZ mode.
Looking ahead, players can anticipate The Haunting and Operation Nightmare events coming to DMZ and other modes on Oct. 17, 2023. The addition of Battle Royale features will provide players with the means to take on the undead creatures.
