DMZ allows players to choose from Modern Warfare 2's large arsenal of modern and tactical firearms, which they can deploy into different maps in Warzone 2. Able to earn tons of XP by eliminating enemy AI and players, DMZ provides a new way for players to unlock and level up new weapons and weapon customization options.

Additionally, players can drop in with pre-tuned contraband weapon blueprints and unlock new ones by capturing Weapon Cases, eliminating the Chemist, or eliminating high-value targets through missions.

1) TAQ-56

Starting with the list is the TAQ-56, which is one of the meta assault rifles in Warzone 2.0, thanks to its superior damage output in medium and long-range engagements. While having a lower rate of fire, each bullet from this weapon does significant damage across all ranges, providing a faster TTK and hence perfect for taking on multiple enemies, AIs, and opponents with a single magazine.
