How to use the Contraband Work Bench in DMZ

The work bench can be considered the "loadout drop" of DMZ.

A new season of Call of Duty’s Warzone 2.0 game mode means new content and new features. Season 3 introduced the ability to barter, introduced active duty operator slots, and brought something new to the battleground of DMZ. The contraband work bench is a new feature exclusive to the DMZ game mode, bringing more reliability to a players experience. However, people might not be sure what they can use in this work bench, and what it means for their games going forward. We’re going to shine a light, and figure out how to use the contraband work bench in DMZ.

In order to use the work bench, players will first need to obtain a contraband weapon. These are guns that players can loot from around Al Mazrah, or collected from any dead player you kill. You will need to extract with them at least one time in order for them to be considered contraband. After doing so and hopping into another game, the gun will be ready to use on the workbench.

The contraband work benches are located right next to any buy station. Once you reach one, you will be able to add or remove any attachments you unlocked for any weapon platform. This transaction like the buy station, will cost money you find in game. This essentially creates a scenario where much like loadout crates in Warzone, players who are monetarily inclined can sway the battle in their favor. By providing your weapons with better stats and attachments, it makes extracting all that easier.
