In this week's episode, Nicky, Eric, and special guest Seth Eltz, learn how to make DIY gas masks from tooth paste and a lighter in a conspiracy filled episode of Press any Button. What we played and are reviewing for this episode is specifically the DMZ mode in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. Warzone 2.0 is the free to play mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which is a 2022 reboot sequel to the 2009 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game. The DMZ mode is described as an "extraction mode" and "sandbox experience" where players battle against both AI-controlled and player-controlled opponents while attempting to exfil with loot they find within the Exclusion Zone. Players start out with a limited inventory, which allows storage of extracted loot from matches; said inventory can be expanded by completing Faction missions, allowing for more guaranteed loadout weapon slots or the opportunity to unlock base weapons and cosmetic rewards, usable in both Warzone 2.0 and Modern Warfare II.
