Bartering in MW2 DMZ will unlock a whole new world of possibilities for players in the middle of a raid, letting you add exciting new items to your backpack.
Memorizing all the Barter Recipes in MW2 DMZ will give you a major advantage over your competitors in the Exclusion Zone.
With the Barter Recipes at the ready, you will know exactly what ingredients to look out for and keep handy in MW2 DMZ. Once you visit a Buy Station, you'll be able to craft useful gear using the Barter Recipes and, hopefully, extract from the game with them.
How do you Barter?
All Buy Stations in DMZ now offer the option to Barter. To Barter, you will need to know the appropriate Recipes. Recipes exist for all sorts of equipment, including Vests, Backpacks, and Keys.
The Barter System is brand-new in Season 3 of DMZ. Prior to Season 3, many of the collectable, benign items didn't serve much of a purpose if they weren't related to a mission's tasks. But now, you can combine your leftover bits and bobs to create practical items that'll aid you in the Exclusion Zone.
