Season four of Call of Duty has arrived, bringing about a slew of new improvements to the game for the summer season.
A new season in CoD means some resets in DMZ, too, so it’s not all about the new weapons, although the Tempus Razorback AR and ISO 45 SMG are both awesome guns that can be found and extracted in DMZ.
The new Warzone map, Vondel, is also available as a new exclusion zone in DMZ, so fans of the extraction game type have an all-new region to explore.
Here’s everything new in season four of DMZ, according to the official patch notes.
