Among these additions, there is also a money system, like in other versions of the mode. The money can be used to get equipment, upgrades, and especially weapons. You can invest quite a bit in a good weapon with the best attachments possible. With this guide, you’ll learn how to make money quickly in DMZ.

The First Steps Toward Making Money in DMZ

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 DMZ - Backpack 2

There are many ways to make money in DMZ. The easiest and most direct way to earn some cash quickly is to complete the story missions. There are six of them, and each mission will reward you with 25K if you successfully extract. You can repeat the missions, but they will only reward you with 5K after the first completion.

However, in each of these missions, you can thoroughly loot every room for valuables like encrypted USBs, blacklisted info, secret orders, torture videos, and more. At the FOB, you can sell these items for cash, ranging from 1K to 10K depending on the item.

Free Roam

Another way to get a considerable amount of money is to enter Free Roam and loot every place you see. You can also wait for other operators, kill them, and steal their loot. The second option is recommended if you’re playing in a party because, alone, it will be very easy to get killed and lose all your loot.

In Free Roam, there is no objective, so you can explore every inch of the Hajin map without being interrupted. If you enter this mode as part of a party, a recommended place to find valuables and money is the compounds marked with tiny towers on the map. There will be several enemies, but once you eliminate all the threats, you can continue looting every little corner.

Dynamic Operations

Among the DMZ sub-modes, there is also a quick and fun mode called Dynamic Operations. This particular mode features a quick, random objective or mission. The description itself says that it will reward you with between 10K and 25K, depending on the mission completed. With Dynamic Operations, you can earn a good amount of money without investing that much time.

This particular mode can be played alone, but it is also not recommended because there will always be operators lurking around to kill you, especially if you draw a lot of attention while killing enemies and completing the mission.

Lieutenants, Commanders, and Bounties

Another path you can choose to get money quickly is to go after the lieutenants and commanders. These bosses have bounties and can be killed in every match, depending on where they spawn. You can buy intel to get their location, or you can simply enter the map, wait for one to spawn, and go after it. There are 13 bosses in total: 10 lieutenants that will reward you with 10K each and 3 commanders that will give you 50K each.
