DMZ Season 2 Reloaded patch notes: Building 21 Access, enemy changes & more

Activision has revealed new patch notes for DMZ in Season 2 Reloaded with an aim to provide an improved and streamlined experience along with several new additions. Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know about DMZ in Season 2 Reloaded.

Season 2 Reloaded introduced a ton of new content in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 like new game modes, maps, and weapons. For their Tarkov-inspired mode, DMZ, the devs have planned to streamline the game mode and provide a much-enhanced experience for the players.

With the Reloaded update, new features like updated usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards, variations to infiltration and exfiltration points, and different ways of enemy combatants arriving have been implemented for DMZ. While these are not a lot, they will definitely aim at providing a better experience for the players.

Having said that, here is everything you need to know about the second season of DMZ.

DMZ Season 2 Reloaded: Key changes

Updated usage requirements for Building 21 Access Cards

With Season 2 Reloaded, every player will no longer need to equip Building 21 Access Cards prior to dropping into the match. It will be enough if a single player decides to carry an Access Card to Building 21 before infiltrating.

Remember, this change won’t impact the Access or Key Cards for accessing locked spaces inside Building 21. You will still need to equip those in your Backpack before entering the match.

Integration of new features & more for DMZ

Season 2 Reloaded brings variations to the infiltration and exfiltration points in Al Mazrah. The total count of vehicles has also been reduced in the Modern City for an even distribution of the same throughout the entire map.

Improving the experience

There is a slight chance of enemy combatants dropping an upgraded weapon upon their death. Also, they may arrive or operate in a variety of vehicles and not just armored trucks.

Several bugs related to Stronghold access, Mission sharing progress with squadmates, the Secure Nuclear Material contract, and more have also been fixed.
