Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 not only introduced a bunch of new content for multiplayer and Battle Royale, but also brought a significant addition to DMZ. The new Barter system allows players to trade looted items for more useful equipment. So let's check out how to craft the new backpacks, three-plate vests, skeleton keys and more.

How The Barter System In DMZ Works

To access the barter system, players need to go to any Buy Station located on Al Mazrah or Ashika Island. Every Buy Station will offer the option to barter. By using the barter system, players can exchange specific items they looted on the map, to craft helpful equipment.

This means that looting specific items is now way more important than before the update. Up until now, most items could only be sold for cash, but now they have an actual use. Just grab everything you can find, maybe it is part of one of the barter recipes...

To use the barter system, follow these simple steps:

  • Head to any Buy Station in DMZ
  • Look for the newly added Barter tab
  • Click on the Barter tab to access the list of craftable items and recipes
  • Loot the specific items required in the recipes
  • Take the items to any Buy Station and select the respective items by exchanging the collected materials

Keep in mind that Buy Stations are even more important now and thus attract a lot of players. It's best to go in squads as other players may camp them for easy kills.

  • If you are currently playing DMZ and you want that little extra for your gaming experience, you might need a controller with additional features. Maybe give the Xbox Elite Series S Controller a try!
