DMZ Patch Notes (Season 4)

Activision released the patch notes for Call of Duty Season 4 Reloaded, and there are some massive changes coming to DMZ.

Here are all the changes you'll see in Call of Duty DMZ Season 4.

Call of Duty DMZ Patch Notes Season 4 Reloaded - What's New? Complete Patch Notes and Details

Gameplay

• There are reports of a new enemy force attempting to infiltrate Building 21. Proceed with caution, Operators…
• Temp V has arrived! Read more about this in the Warzone section above. Effects are limited in DMZ (such as no Charge Jump) and increased scarcity on the map versus Battle Royale.

Adjustments

• Players can now see the progress they’ve made on their Upgrade Missions in the After Action Report
• Increased the time to Plea for Help to 20 seconds from 15 after your squad has been eliminated
• The Plea for Help timer that triggers after you are the last Player on a squad eliminated will now pause while holding down the plea button

Plea for Help and Assimilation

• When reviving someone who is pleading, the Player who was pleading will no longer auto-join the reviver’s team
• There will be a 30-second grace period after a Player is revived, where the reviver’s team will not be able to damage the Player who was pleading
• After reviving, the reviver will be given a prompt to invite the revived Player to their team
• The ‘Plea for Help’ and ‘Loot’ prompts are now separate:
• The ‘Plea for Help’ revive prompt is on the Player’s body, and the ‘Loot’ prompt is on the Backpack like normal
• Looting the Player first will not disable the Plea option
• Created a direct assimilation function to only send a request to one person.
• The team who killed the Player that is pleading will no longer be able to accept their plea request and then revive. This prevents killing to force assimilation.

Players Hunting Players

If a Player and their Squad kill too many Players in DMZ, that high-kill individual Player will be issued a warning. If they kill another Player, they can expect a Bounty on their head. Enemy Operators in the Exclusion Zone will then recieve intel on your position to secure a reward upon completion.

• Killing a Player with a Bounty will award everyone in the squad $10,000
• This Bounty is not active in Building 21 or the Koschei Complex
