    According to Activision, The Call of Duty: DMZ Gauntlet will pit 16 teams of three against each other in "a variety of challenges" in DMZ.

    "Mark your calendars for the DMZ Gauntlet!" the official Call of Duty account tweeted.

    "Tune in as 16 captains and their trios work their way through a variety of challenges in DMZ competing for their share of $30,000!"

    The extraction-based mode was first released in November. Players spawn into Warzone 2's giant map Al Mazrah and complete various objectives while trying to extract with better gear.

    Death results in losing all the loot you've currently got equipped - unless you insure them.

    CoD's DMZ Gauntlet will take place on Jan. 17 at 2pm CT on the official Call of Duty Twitch channel.
