In Call of Duty Warzone 2, players can complete many missions in the DMZ mode and stash weapons that they can then carry into operations. So far, so good, but this will soon change with Season 2, as a Wipe will occur that will erase all your progress.
What is a Wipe? A Wipe is a reset that brings your progress in the game back to its origin. This is now also set to happen in Call of Duty: Warzone 2, specifically in the DMZ mode. Many players are surprised by this step from the development team, as nothing indicated that a Wipe would ever take place.
With Season 2, however, this will change, and many players are outraged.
Season 2 will set you back to the beginning
What has Activision announced? In their major CoD blog for MW2 and Warzone 2, Activision has now also published information for the DMZ mode. The following changes are set to come with Season 02:
- The minimization of crashes during a DMZ round.
- Adjustments for AI opponents, spawn points, and mission difficulties.
- New missions and a new zone.
However, there are also further hints. The developers write about the additional changes:
Completely new missions are coming in Season 02, including an update of your current faction mission progress and a reset of the inventory (smuggled goods and keys). We will detail all important information for DMZ before Season 02 in an upcoming blog.

What does this mean? This means all your collected weapons and keys, as well as the progress of your current faction missions will be reset to zero. This is not only surprising for many, but also shocking, as no one expected this.
What are players saying about it? The mood of the community is divided, as some players celebrate the feature from Escape from Tarkov and even wish for a reset, while others are just incredulous. Angry players are writing the following about the situation:
- @Sharpy22899 – “If my mission progress gets wiped, I’m done. As a full-time working father, I don’t have time to play for 8 hours a day. My brother and I are currently working on all T4 missions and literally just finished T3 to get our second insured slot. I will be angry if it really gets reset.”
- @Avsfreak18 – “Well… this doesn’t make me want to come back at all…”
- @MJthemaniac_876 – “If insured slots disappear, that’s my motivation never to play again.”
However, there are also positive voices regarding the upcoming change:
- @jordanharding18 – “Great news. Fresh start again. Didn’t get all the insured weapon slots and probably won’t, but I’m looking forward to a reset. It keeps it interesting.”
- @umiii302 – “Good! Literally anything that makes it feel like Tarkov will make this game enjoyable.”
What do you think about Activision increasingly transforming the DMZ mode into an Escape from Tarkov? Do you want that too, or does it bother you that you will soon have to re-farm everything at the start of Season 2? Let us know in the comments!
