Call of Duty's take on the first-person extraction shooter formula in the form of the DMZ game mode has been generally well-received by players and fans of the franchise. It is a welcome change of pace from the usual battle royale experience and somehow manages to be more relaxed and frantic simultaneously. However, the abbreviated name of this game mode might leave many players wondering what it stands for. The following is an article explaining the full form of DMZ and what it stands for in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 DMZ.

What does DMZ Stand for in Call of Duty: Warzone 2?

In real life, DMZ is short form for the term demilitarized zone. These are essentially areas of land demarcated by treaties and agreements between nations and military powers to prohibit any form of military installations or activities in that area. These areas often lie between the boundaries of established or pre-existing military powers or alliances. Their purpose is to act as neutral ground, not to be utilized by any side for either combat or non-combat administration.

In Call of Duty: Warzone 2, the DMZ game mode takes place on the map of Al Mazrah, which is a city in the fictional country of the United Republic of Adal. Therefore, it can be deduced that Al Mazrah is a demilitarized zone on the brink of collapse, thanks to the insurgence of Al-Qatala rebels who wish to assert their dominance over the area. Players must fight back alongside the three Factions present in the DMZ to overthrow the anarchist forces at play.

How DMZ work in CoD Warzone 2?

The DMZ in Warzone 2 works similarly to games like Escape from Tarkov. It is an extraction shooter where players spawn in random areas of the map of Al Mazrah, and must loot, complete objectives, and strive to get to extraction in full piece. It features three Factions vying for power: Legion, White Lotus, and Black Mous. Every Faction will have set challenges and missions, which will reward players with tons of XP, and unique weapon blueprints.
