Warzone 2 fans on Reddit lament the rise of toxic behavior among players in DMZ

Call of Duty: Warzone 2's DMZ mode is unique to this generation of the franchise. It is an Escape from Tarkov-inspired mode where players drop into Al Mazrah (Exclusion Zone), complete various missions, loot, and exfiltrate while fighting real and AI combatants. One of the most intriguing aspects of this mode is Squad Assimilation, which allows players to team up with enemy players.

A fan by the username u/jonnyvue on Reddit recently posted one such instance and expressed their thoughts on the issue. The post attracted a lot of attention and players were quick to join the thread to share their opinions and stories.

This article takes a closer look at the various experiences shared by users in u/jonnyvue's Reddit post that discusses the rise of toxicity in Warzone 2's DMZ.

Reddit user u/jonnyvue said that an enemy player asked for their help. Believing him, u/jonnyvue added the enemy player to their party. As soon as he joined, he started leaking u/jonnyvue's position to the enemy team. u/jonnyvue recognized his strategy and outsmarted him by not making sudden movements. When the enemy team realized that their efforts were futile, they wanted their teammate back. However, this time around u/jonnyvue also joined the enemy team.

The enemy team wasn't thrilled about u/jonnyvue outsmarting them. But they moved on and continued to fight AI combatants before exfiltration. Being a sniper, u/jonnyvue managed to survive the fight but the enemy teammates were doomed. The player looted the enemy teammates and managed to escape the Exclusion Zone.

They then state that this "dirty" tactic isn't uncommon and have faced this several times. They
