The launch of Warzone 2 DMZ Season 3 has brought in a fresh Barter System. When players are not fighting for survival, they can collect non-lethal items such as bandages and liquor to trade at the Barter System. Let’s take a closer look at how this system works in DMZ.
Quick Links
What is the Barter System in DMZ?
So, what exactly is the Barter System in DMZ? It’s a novel way to trade in collectibles for useful equipment like Plate Carriers, Backpacks, and Keys.
However, players must know the recipe or combination of items to get what they want. Standing around at a buy station is never a good idea, so we created this quick reference guide so you know what you need before you get there.
Where is the Barter System?
You can access the Barter System at any Buy Station. Every Buy Station on Al Mazrah, Ashika Island, Building 21, and Koschei has a new tab dedicated to Barter. Here, you can exchange items for equipment, such as 3-Plate vest and the new Skeleton Key.
Note: Munitions Box and Durable Gas Mask have been removed from the barter system after the mid-season update.
