Faction missions in Warzone 2's DMZ mode are huge objectives, and many won't be able to complete one in a single match. You can complete missions in Warzone 2's DMZ mode matches at your own pace across multiple matches.

The caveat is you need to accept Warzone 2 DMZ Faction missions before a match. Unlike Contracts and World Activities, you cannot complete one if you have not accepted it before the start of a match. These missions will provide the best rewards in Warzone 2 DMZ.

Who Are The 3 Warzone 2 DMZ Factions?

In Warzone 2's DMZ mode, there's an interesting, intricate story to uncover revolving around the volatile power struggle of three Factions. These Factions are Legion, White Lotus, and Black Mous, and they constantly recruit Operators (you!) to complete "the most dangerous missions on offer in Warzone 2.0."

Learn about the three Warzone 2 DMZ mode Factions below, thanks to some exciting lore posted by Activision ahead of the game's launch.

Legion Faction in WZ2 DMZ

A private military contractor with conflicting reports about its ties to greater Western powers, the Legion is the first faction an Operator can accept jobs from, as they are desperate to gain a foothold in the global conflict. Soldiers who join the Legion are said to no longer exist on paper, and those who contract them are afforded enough plausible deniability to order any missions that would otherwise be considered acts of war.

Just like you, the Legion is curious about what the DMZ holds. What can be gained and extracted from this new battleground? And who exactly are the threats that want to maintain control of Al Mazrah?

While assisting the Legion, you may realize what power can do to those not ready to wield it.

White Lotus Faction in WZ2 DMZ

After successfully completing multiple missions for the Legion, you will eventually learn about DMZ’s second faction, one fighting on its heels to regain silent dominance over the region.

For years, White Lotus used Al Mazrah’s abundance of natural resources to help fuel its benefactors, who are rapidly expanding their public infrastructure projects both within and beyond its borders. However, attrition from Al Qatala and other factions have significantly reduced their presence .

In assisting the White Lotus, you may eventually help them retake their original operations base, which could ultimately reestablish the control they once had over the DMZ.

Black Mous Faction in WZ2 DMZ

This third faction comes online only after you complete multiple missions for both the Legion and White Lotus, as they hold knowledge as the ultimate form of power.

An anonymous, decentralized group, Black Mous has a shadow presence over the DMZ. Despite a lack of known leadership, the group is built on three key tenets: do not talk about the Black Mous, do not reveal your personal identity, and do not attack the defenseless.

Their missions are grounded in espionage and cyberwarfare, using technology found in the DMZ to have total reconnaissance.

So there you have it, an explanation of who the three factions are in Warzone 2's DMZ mode and how you can accept these important missions as you learn more about the world and its story. We will update you once we find more information on the missions.
