With Name of Obligation’s DMZ extraction mode effectively established inside Warzone and incorporating features of The Boys within the type of the Temp V Area Improve, I wished to don my developer hat and conceive of 5 really ludicrous issues Activision might do with the mode sooner or later.
The inclusion of the aforementioned Temp V has been controversial, with some loving it and treating it as a wonderful anti-camper gadget and others adamant that superpowers do no belong within the mode in any respect.
Regardless, it obtained me considering what else the devs might add now we’ve actually seen superpowers come into common DMZ matches. Right here’s 5 I got here up with.
1. Zombies

This one’s most likely been thrown across the neighborhood earlier than. With so many bots populating DMZ’s Exclusion Zones, it looks as if an precise chance that they’re swapped out for Zombies at one level one other, most definitely round Halloween.
We’ve seen Zombies added to Warzone earlier than, again when Verdansk was the one map and gamers have been loving every thing in regards to the battle royale.
It will add a sinister undead really feel to all of DMZ, however I feel it’d mix particularly effectively with Vondel’s dynamic fog. It’d even be a pleasant change to have enemies that may solely dash and slash at you, somewhat than being severely annoying and peppering you from the far facet of the canal.
2. Treasure Chests

So what I’m proposing right here is actually a juiced-up model of Provide Crates. We’ve all been in-game and seen one coming down comparatively shut by, understanding it might comprise a whole lot of money, perhaps a Gold Cranium and a high tier plate service.
Treasure Chests would work equally, spawning in randomly in some unspecified time in the future in the course of the mid-match part. How they’d stand out is within the loot they supply and the truth that each single participant is informed precisely the place it’s. The loot inside – I’m considering tens of hundreds in money, assured tempered vests, a couple of GPUs and extra – could be sufficient to draw all close by gamers and switch DMZ right into a chaotic free-for-all.
3. Double All the pieces Intervals

We’ve all heard of Double XP durations, however what about Double All the pieces Weekends? Dropping into DMZ and understanding that every thing would rely for double is a loopy thought: each $1,000 accrued is definitely $2,000, each Revive Pistol is definitely two and so forth.
Sadly, I did say Double All the pieces. Double the bots, double the real-life gamers, double the bosses and double the carnage. I can solely think about how anarchic the busier POIs could be, or the complete Ashika Island map. It’s already nigh-on not possible to extract with out not less than one enemy staff getting in your case. Perhaps I shouldn’t have advised it.
4. One Means Out
![Exfil Screen in Warzone DMZ](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Exfil-Warzone-DMZ.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
Each DMZ participant will know the battle of finishing the missions and targets they wished to, solely to comprehend that the closest exfil chopper location is on the opposite facet of the Exclusion Zone. I’m proposing turning this battle right into a full blown nightmare.
This mode, which I’m dubbing ‘One Means Out’ would see the variety of exfil chopper places decreased to 0, with a tunnel, walkway or bridge being the one path to freedom (and profitable exfils). It’s a terrifying thought, primarily as a result of I’m fascinated by the quantity of campers who’d congregate across the route out and make gamers making an attempt to get their contraband to security essentially the most troublesome job in CoD historical past.
5. Mid-Sport Mini-Video games
![Vanguard Sticky Grenade with Warzone logo](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/DMZ-Grenade-Warzone-Mini-Games.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
I’m rounding off with my private favourite. One of many many causes Grand Theft Auto V is so good is as a result of it’s so various, incorporating driving, golf, tennis and extra into its open world. I’m suggesting DMZ take a leaf out of this ebook and produce mini-games into the fold. Clearly, gamers could be rewarded for efficiently finishing a mini-game, most likely with their decide of some high tier loot.
Impediment programs, races to loot areas and accuracy-based grenade tossing would all be weird and misplaced; a bit like The Boys’ crossover that first sparked this listing.
These are our picks for 5 insane issues Activision might (however most likely shouldn’t) do in DMZ. Perhaps sooner or later we’ll see them as LTMs. Perhaps not.
