It's very visually confusing, though thankfully not a huge deal overall as you can still unlock guns really quickly just by playing. The final great addition to Warzone 2.0 is the new DNC mode, which pushes Warzone beyond the traditional Battle Royale crowd as Call of Duty's take on an extraction mode, no doubt inspired by the success of games like Escape from Tarkov.
