What is DMZ Trading?

DMZ Trading is a trade board for the DMZ mode in Modern Warfare 4. You post the items you have and what you want for them, and other players send you offers. Once you accept an offer, you meet up in game and swap.

There are 396 items you can list, such as keys, weapons and valuables. Tap an item on the board to see what it is and where it comes from. Our DMZ keys guide shows what every key opens, and the DMZ loot table shows which containers drop what.

The board is run by the COD Central community. You sign in with Discord, which also adds you to the COD Central server.

How a trade works in game

  1. Add each other in game with your Activision ID, the name and the number.
  2. One of you invites the other to the lobby.
  3. Drop into a story mission together.
  4. Drop the items for each other. The player with the lower reputation drops first. With the same reputation you take turns, one item at a time, and the player who made the offer starts.
  5. Head to an exfil, or keep playing if you both want to.

Going to an exfil right after the swap keeps the items safe. Playing on is fine, but you can lose them again.

Rules

  • Item for item only. No cash, crypto or accounts.
  • A trade stays on the board for one hour. A bump resets the clock, and you can bump once every 15 minutes.
  • You can have 3 open trades at a time, with up to 20 different items on each side.
  • Your Activision ID is only shown to the player you agreed to trade with.
  • Reputation goes up by one for both players once you both confirm the trade is done.
  • Trades with the same player give you reputation up to 5 times a week. After that you can keep trading with them, it just does not add reputation.
  • If a trade goes wrong, report it from the trade room and the trade mods look into it.

DMZ Trading FAQ

Who drops first in a DMZ trade?

The player with the lower reputation drops first. If you both have the same reputation, you take turns. The player who made the offer drops one item first. The other player picks it up, then drops one of theirs. Keep going one item at a time until everything is traded.

Why do I need to sign in with Discord?

Signing in with Discord also adds you to the COD Central server. When an offer is accepted, the two of you get a private thread there to agree on a time, and the trade mods can check it if something goes wrong.

Who can see my Activision ID?

Only the player you agreed to trade with, and only after an offer is accepted. It is never shown on the board or on your profile.

How long does a trade stay on the board?

A trade stays up for one hour. You can bump it once every 15 minutes to reset the clock. When it runs out, you can post it again from My trades.

Can I buy or sell DMZ items for money?

No. DMZ Trading is item for item only. Trades that ask for cash, crypto or accounts get removed.

What if the other player takes my items and leaves?

Report the trade from the trade room. The trade mods look into it and can ban the player. If you have a clip of the trade, post it in the trade thread, it helps the mods. The items are in the game, so we cannot give them back. Check a player's reputation before you accept an offer.

Why did a trade not give me reputation?

Reputation should say something, so trades with the same player count up to 5 times a week. After that the trade is still done and still counts as a finished trade, but it adds no reputation. The trade room tells you when that happens. Trade with other players to keep building reputation.

How do I record a DMZ trade?

You do not have to, but a clip helps if something goes wrong. On PC, record with OBS or the recording tool of your graphics card. On PlayStation, use the Create button. On Xbox, use the Share button. Start before you load into the mission and keep recording until you have your items, so the clip shows both players and the drop.
