Call of Duty Season 4’s reset has brought in the latest Forward Operating Base system, the central hub for all things DMZ. However, due to its new schematics, it may be confusing to locate certain sections, including Location Objectives, Upgrades, and Notes. In this guide, we’ll focus on where to find the Upgrade menu in DMZ to get you started on your enhancement journey.

How to Find Upgrade Menu in Warzone 2 DMZ

Players can find the Upgrade menu in DMZ in the Mission Objectives section. Once there, you’ll discover Missions, Upgrades, Location Objectives, and Notes. Season 4 Reloaded previously implemented a progression system to keep track of all your enhancements within the After Action Report.

The Upgrades menu is divided into four sections: Stash, Weapons Locker, Bounty Board, and Communications Station. Each section will depend on your Faction Reputation Level, allowing you to unlock specific enhancements the more you progress in tiers.

As mentioned before, players must meet the requirements to gain access to these improvements on the field. Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 4 also introduced a daily quest upgrade system in the Communications Station, featuring more ways to increase your Reputation.
