However, a few of the update's paid cosmetics grant players advantages in Warzone's DMZ mode, and some fans aren't happy. On April 12, Activision introduced a new cosmetic bundle to [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/call-of-duty-warzone-20']Warzone 2.0[/URL]. In what Activision referred to as a "DMZ boost," the game's new $12 Bomb Squad bundle gives players a skin for Fender, a SAKIN MG38 LMG blueprint, an active duty slot, a sticker, and an emblem. But, as [URL='https://www.pcgamer.com/call-of-duty-dips-into-pay-to-win-with-dollar12-bundle-that-gives-you-actual-gameplay-advantages/']PC Gamer[/URL] pointed out, the boosts that this bundle provides in DMZ, the game's extraction mode, are quite valuable. Players who equip Fender's skin are given a medium backpack, and the LMG has a cooldown that's much shorter in comparison to free guns. Because of the advantage that this paid bundle provides, fans are taking to Twitter to express their disappointment with the game becoming "pay-to-win." DMZ, Warzone 2.0's extraction mode, is still in beta, but it seems that Activision might stick with this model going forward — according to [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/DMZ/comments/12jt6xb/future_roze_bundle_lets_you_start_with_a_uav/']a datamine on Reddit[/URL], more bundles that provide DMZ advantages could be on their way.
