If you want to stand the best chance of getting out alive, you need our DMZ tips for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. The series finally has a proper extraction mode and while it's not quite what was advertised ahead of launch, there's a lot of fun to be had by heading into Hajin, mowing down dozens of PvE enemies, and extracting with the best loot you can find. This mode has a steep learning curve, though, so here are our top eight DMZ tips so you can deploy into Hajin with confidence in Modern Warfare 4.
In other extraction shooters, such as Arc Raiders, items tagged with "valuable" can be sold, since they're not required for any crafting recipes or projects. That isn't the case in Modern Warfare 4's DMZ. Even though these "valuable" items do have a significant value attached to them, they're also often used for various recipes and upgrades at the 3D printer.
Help keep track of exactly which valuables you need to keep by tracking specific recipes, as this will put a pin icon next to those ingredients when you come across them. The more enemies you kill without a silencer in DMZ, the more you'll have coming after you. However, having a silencer equipped means you can stay stealthy for much longer.
It isn't completely foolproof because the AI isn't stupid — it will still react if an enemy gets killed right next to them, for example — but going in guns blazing will result in a hit squad hunting you down far quicker than if you at least try to play stealthily. While you can increase your stash size in DMZ, it takes a while to accumulate all the necessary materials. Not to mention, even when you increase it, chances are you'll still find reasons to hit the limit constantly.
It means you can only rotate between two playable operators, but if you use your third as additional inventory space, it means you essentially have an extra 20 or so slots. For example, I use Ghost to store all of my keys, since they don't stack. Going into Hajin with an expensive weapon, or using an operator you've leveled up considerably?
Right before you deploy, on the same screen where you can choose to play solo, there are two toggles (pictured above). One insures your operator, the other will insure your weapons. This essentially means that if you die, you won't lose whatever is insured.
