The Season 3 update for Warzone 2 saw a huge overhaul in features and mechanics for DMZ. While the new Redacted faction provides additional Faction Missions for DMZ grinders, the biggest update seems to be the new DMZ barter recipes and items - which allow you to trade in miscellaneous items at the buy station for something more worth your time.
Warzone 2 / MW2: Best SMGs Tier List
All SMGs are not created equally, so we have ranked them from best to worst in this Warzone 2 and MW2 SMG Tier List.For Season 3 and beyond, Buy Stations in DMZ feature a barter menu, which allows players to trade for specific items. Utilizing this system is the most surefire way to acquire specific gear and items: such as a Skeleton Key or special kinds of Plate-Carriers and Backpacks. However, one thing to bear in mind is that the barter available items, and the DMZ barter recipes needed to obtain them, do in fact differ between the various exclusion zones.
