In the Extraction mode DMZ of Call of Duty: Warzone 2, it’s all about loot, equipment, and the will to survive. Additionally, you can unlock a new weapon here – the assault rifle M13B. However, such modes can also bring out the worst in people.
Call of Duty is trying to carve out its niche in the extraction shooter market with its free DMZ mode. You start at a point on the vast Warzone map Al Mazrah, fight through NPCs, gather equipment, and then get extracted from the combat zone by a helicopter – or at least that’s the plan.
But the NPCs are nasty and can take you out quickly if you’re not careful. Moreover, other players are also running around the map with similar goals as you.
With the new assault rifle M13B, even multiplayer players of CoD MW2 show interest in starting the major mode. But you should never feel too secure when leaving the map – everyone wants to get the weapon.
We show you how to get the M13B in the DMZ mode in a short video:
Players are like vultures at the extraction point
Once you declare your mission in the DMZ as completed, head to one of the 3 extraction points on the map. Here, you give a helicopter a short signal and have to wait for a moment for pickup.
This draws a lot of attention. Enemies can suddenly come from all corners like startled animals, aiming for your loot.
Especially because of the M13B assault rifle, this can be particularly worthwhile at the moment. After all, it saves you from having to fight against the chemist in the radiation zone. Without an appropriate gas mask, this can be quite a hassle.
On Reddit, there’s a clip where the user “RealWildFlesh” along with a teammate rushes to an extraction point and cold-bloodedly takes out the two players who were just trying to leave with the helicopter. The new M13B was also part of the loot:
The thread creator apologizes in the title of the thread, but his actions in the video say otherwise. Without heart or shame, the two victims are dealt with and stripped to the last. Even the extraction helicopter is stolen.
But that’s part of the extraction mode DMZ – it’s exactly these stories that such a mode tells. User “FaFa_1018” would know exactly what to do in that situation: “I would gather the Avengers to find you if I were you. Holy s*****e.”
Often, however, the terror begins even earlier: Don’t carelessly approach the extraction points. Even in “Escape from Tarkov”, the first hype game in the extraction genre, the so-called “extraction campers” are considered one of the biggest plagues.
They wait near the target points just to have fully looted players do the work for them, only to ambush them unexpectedly at the extraction point.
