MW2 Barter Recipes List – How to make Skeleton Keys, Backpacks, Vests, & more

Two of the main features of Call of Duty: Warzone DMZ are scavenging for loot and surviving. To increase the usability of loot, the developers have added a new Barter system that allows us to craft special items by depositing specific items in exchange. In this guide, I've compiled all the items that you can trade for in DMZ.

Where to use the Barter mechanic in DMZ

The Barter system can be used at any Buy Station on Al Mazrah, Ashika Island, Building 21, and Koschei Complex. Interact with a shop and you'll find the Barter tab in the fourth slot. Open this menu to get a list of various essential items and gear that you can receive by delivering certain items. Every item featured in the Barter list requires a unique set of items to craft, which is called its Recipe.
