DMZ Season 5 Reloaded update patch notes: Tier missions, Comms Station upgrades, more

DMZ in Season 5 Reloaded

DMZ doesn’t recieve a new extraction zone in Season 5 Reloaded, but it does get new missions, a long list of bug fixes, and improvements to the Communication Station.

Fans of Warzone’s extraction shooter expansion fear the worst if changes don’t come soon. First, DMZ players urged the devs to address PvP problems before the game mode fades away into irrelevance. And then, community members raised concerns about a long list of bugs “ruining” DMZ.

To make matters worse, Activision has yet to confirm DMZ returning in Modern Warfare 3, and some players fear it will be replaced by Sledgehammer’s open-world zombies mode.

So even though Season 5 Reloaded may not deliver the wide-sweeping changes some fans may have hoped for, it at least addresses a few of the most troubling bugs.
