It opened at 10:00 PT (17:00 UTC) and needs an update of about 45 GB. That gives you three days in Hajin before multiplayer and the full launch on 23 October. In the meantime the developers want to hear what worked and what wrecked a deployment.
Two new story missions
- Operation Shopping Hacks at the NuriGO Mall: hack the network, program the protocol, secure the evidence. Reward: 25,000 DMZ Cash.
- Operation Silent Ledger in Cheongun Village: get into the casino, breach the vault and secure the printing plates. Reward: a gold bar, the Polaris Dagor A1 vehicle and 25,000 DMZ Cash.
New items and keys
- Fulton Drop Marker (Legendary field upgrade, 2.5K): mark a spot and call in a fulton extraction.
- Parachute (Legendary, 5K): reusable.
- Cipher Code Ledger and W.M.D Manifest (Epic valuables, 5K each): extract them and sell them at your base.
- Iskra’s Control Room key (F7, Cheonwang Peak Array): opens the control room on the upper floor of the broadcast building.
- Netshin IT Room key (G6, The Grid): opens the high-security server room on the upper floors of the Netshin Tech Complex.
- New 3D printer recipe: the Secure Scavenger Backpack (Ultra) from 2 Military Composites, 4 Nylon Laminate and 10 Reactive Metals.
When the base stations unlock
Your FOB is the base you return to between deployments. DMZ has its own level track from 1 to 70. Operators, Orders, Stash, Firing Range, Survival Kits and Deploy are open from the start, and the rest comes with your DMZ level:
- Level 2: 3D Printer, with the first recipes (bandage, medkit, 1- and 2-plate vests, small and medium backpack)
- Level 5: Vendor
- Level 10: Gunsmith
- Level 15: one more operator slot
- Level 20: Dog Tag Case
The Boss Board opens after your second DMZ order. DMZ XP also counts toward your normal player level (1–55), but multiplayer XP does not count toward your DMZ level.
Weapons and the tac map
You carry two primaries, two secondaries or one of each; a Weapon Backpack makes room for more. Until the Gunsmith opens at level 10 you play what you loot or buy from the Vendor. The DMZ tier list shows which of those guns are worth the cash, with builds. For route planning, the interactive Hajin tac map with points of interest and resource locations is already live.
