With Call of Duty’s DMZ extraction mode nicely established inside Warzone and incorporating features of The Boys within the type of the Temp V Field Upgrade, I wished to don my developer hat and conceive of 5 really ludicrous issues Activision may do with the mode sooner or later.
The inclusion of the aforementioned Temp V has been controversial, with some loving it and treating it as a wonderful anti-camper machine and others adamant that superpowers do no belong within the mode in any respect.
Regardless, it obtained me considering what else the devs may add now we’ve actually seen superpowers come into common DMZ matches. Here’s 5 I got here up with.
1. Zombies
This one’s most likely been thrown across the neighborhood earlier than. With so many bots populating DMZ’s Exclusion Zones, it looks as if an precise chance that they’re swapped out for Zombies at one level one other, most definitely round Halloween.
We’ve seen Zombies added to Warzone earlier than, again when Verdansk was the one map and gamers have been loving every part concerning the battle royale.
It would add a sinister undead really feel to all of DMZ, however I believe it’d mix particularly nicely with Vondel’s dynamic fog. It’d even be a pleasant change to have enemies that may solely dash and slash at you, reasonably than being significantly annoying and peppering you from the far aspect of the canal.
2. Treasure Chests
So what I’m proposing right here is basically a juiced-up model of Supply Crates. We’ve all been in-game and seen one coming down comparatively shut by, understanding it may comprise a whole lot of money, possibly a Gold Skull and a prime tier plate provider.
Treasure Chests would work equally, spawning in randomly in some unspecified time in the future in the course of the mid-match part. How they’d stand out is within the loot they supply and the truth that each single participant is informed precisely the place it’s. The loot inside – I’m considering tens of hundreds in money, assured tempered vests, a number of GPUs and extra – can be sufficient to entice all close by gamers and switch DMZ right into a chaotic free-for-all.
3. Double Everything Periods
We’ve all heard of Double XP intervals, however what about Double Everything Weekends? Dropping into DMZ and understanding that every part would rely for double is a loopy thought: each $1,000 collected is definitely $2,000, each Revive Pistol is definitely two and so forth.
Unfortunately, I did say Double Everything. Double the bots, double the real-life gamers, double the bosses and double the carnage. I can solely think about how anarchic the busier POIs can be, or the complete Ashika Island map. It’s already nigh-on inconceivable to extract with out a minimum of one enemy group getting in your case. Maybe I shouldn’t have advised it.
4. One Way Out
Every DMZ participant will know the battle of finishing the missions and targets they wished to, solely to notice that the closest exfil chopper location is on the opposite aspect of the Exclusion Zone. I’m proposing turning this battle right into a full blown nightmare.
This mode, which I’m dubbing ‘One Way Out’ would see the variety of exfil chopper areas diminished to 0, with a tunnel, walkway or bridge being the one route to freedom (and profitable exfils). It’s a terrifying thought, primarily as a result of I’m fascinated by the quantity of campers who’d congregate across the route out and make gamers attempting to get their contraband to security essentially the most troublesome process in CoD historical past.
5. Mid-Game Mini-Games
I’m rounding off with my private favourite. One of the numerous causes Grand Theft Auto V is so good is as a result of it’s so numerous, incorporating driving, golf, tennis and extra into its open world. I’m suggesting DMZ take a leaf out of this e-book and convey mini-games into the fold. Obviously, gamers can be rewarded for efficiently finishing a mini-game, most likely with their choose of some prime tier loot.
Obstacle programs, races to loot areas and accuracy-based grenade tossing would all be weird and misplaced; a bit like The Boys’ crossover that first sparked this checklist.
Those are our picks for 5 insane issues Activision may (however most likely shouldn’t) do in DMZ. Maybe sooner or later we’ll see them as LTMs. Maybe not.
