Introduction
Call of Duty’s DMZ mode has an in-game economy that baffles players. Players can spend as much as $40 for a roll of tape, $10 for a dog picture, or $100 for hand cream. However, a recent money glitch has surfaced, allowing players to gain unfair advantages by flooding their backpacks with substantial cash.
The DMZ Game Mode
DMZ is a mode where players can roam around the large open-world map, complete quests and contracts, survive, and do as they please within a time limit. Players can collect miscellaneous items of varying value and sell them for cash to buy better gear or exfiltrate with the money for an XP boost. Weapon XP is also generous, meaning the more XP players can get, the more they can upgrade their weapons.
The infinite money and Weapon XP glitch is still working in Warzone 2 and DMZ was able to max out 3 weapons in one match using this new method.
You need to deposit your money into white dumpsters called Dead Drops.
Hope this helps you with your grind!

The Money Glitch
The recently discovered money glitch cancels out the need to scavenge for resources. Players can gain more cash than an entire session spent looting by fiddling around with the HUD. Players must toss money on the ground near a modified weapon dropped by a fallen AI. Then, with a medium or large backpack equipped, position yourself to have the HUD indicate that you’re picking up the cash while training your crosshairs on the modified weapon. Stowing that weapon in your backpack will flood your inventory with enough money to buy up all the toys in a Buy Station to become brutally unstoppable.

The Status of the Glitch
The money glitch is still active, though some players may find it difficult to achieve. A similar glitch where the player leaves money in a “Dead Drop” trash can has also been reported, but it may have been fixed or is not as easily replicable. Kotaku has contacted Activision to ask whether the glitch is still active and whether a fix is expected.
Reactions from Players
Some players have expressed their dissatisfaction with the glitch, as it allows others to cheat the system and get ahead. Abusing glitches could lead to a potential ban based on the game’s policies, so players are encouraged to exploit at their own risk. The glitch is also bringing up other pain points in DMZ, particularly with the current difficulty of AI, which is even worse for solo players. In a mode that can be brutally punishing and has no means of item recovery, it’s understandable why breaking the rules to make the method more manageable can be tempting if players suffer a crash.
Conclusion
While DMZ is still technically in beta, glitches and exploits that allow players to get far ahead with minimal effort on top of very punishing AI could be enough to cause players to bounce off the mode and return to more traditional experiences like Warzone 2.0 or Modern Warfare II’s multiplayer. Players are encouraged to play pretty and enjoy the game as intended.
