If you’re looking to make cash fast in Call of Duty: Warzone 2, you’ve come to the right place. If you’ve been playing Modern Warfare 2, the battle royale will be automatically added in the Season 1 update. For everyone else, you can download Warzone 2 as a standalone mode separate from the base game as it’s free-to-play.
Cash in Warzone 2 works in a similar way to the original battle royale. You’ll need plenty of the green stuff to buy various goodies, including loadout drops and killstreaks, which in turn helps you and your squad mates survive until the end to claim victory. If you’re ready to hit the ground running, here are some ways to make cash fast in Warzone 2 battle royale and DMZ modes.
Warzone 2 cash: How to make money fast
Contracts are by far the most lucrative way of earning cash quickly in Warzone 2, though they can be pretty tricky to pull off. Markers on the map indicate where these are and you’ll need to pick up the item to start the associated contract. Bounty contracts will net you the most cash—generally around $5000—in the battle royale, though you’ll need to kill a nearby random player to complete it so these can be risky.
Lockers, supply crates, and cash registers are another decent source of money—I’ve snagged up to $800 from a single crate—so these are worth investigating whenever you come across them. For this reason, it’s worth searching buildings thoroughly before moving on. In DMZ it’s also worthwhile opening safes to gain access to the cash inside, just be careful of the enemies you’ll attract when doing so.
Looting downed enemies from both the battle royale and DMZ modes will naturally offer you some spare cash too, and it all adds up.

What you can buy with cash in Warzone 2
Buy stations are littered all over the map and you can find them by looking for the trolley icon. Once you find one, interact with it to bring up the items in stock, which you can buy if you have the cash on hand to afford them.
Here are some of the items you can grab at the Buy Station, along with their price:
Armor Plate: $400Armor Box: $2000Molotov: $350Stim: $400Claymore: $700Throwing Knife: $500Battle Rage: $2900DDoS: $2000Heartbeat Sensor: $1050Cluster Mine: $3300Deployable Cover: $1650UAV: $4000
It’s also worth noting that in DMZ, you can sell stuff to Buy Stations to gain some extra cash from unwanted items or duplicates. Every little helps, right?
