One error on your part on personal exfil, you said: "this exfil can be called whilst in the gas as long as final exfil chopper hasn't left the map" if buy station is available after last exfil chopper leaves, you can buy exfil chopper from buy station and exfil. i missed final exfil chopper, and was waiting game to end but game didn't end, until gas covered last buy station. took a moment to realize it rushed to buy station but chopper took too long to arrive and gas covered last buy station and died. TLDR: DMZ match ends when last buy station is covered by gas allowing you to miss last chopper and still exfil.
Double decker buildings in north east of Rohan Oil next to white tents usually has enough gear to make one of the 3-plate vests. Sometimes the buy station spawns connected to it as well.
Great content as always. The train still is a very good loot spot. u miss 1vest, the Orange one whith 2 75hp plates, in Al Mazrah u can find him if u kill the piro man. Cheers ✌️
Any player can use the purchased exfil. If one teammate takes it and the rest stay behind for whatever reason the green smoke will re spawn and be available for other teammates to call in.
Another thing i recognised recently, if you're in a vehicle and you are being shot at, you will only get the damage direction indicator if it is players. If it is bots shooting you, there is no indicator!
10:14 In the loading screen you can also click Z for your missions and then open your map. Also it's really easy to gear up through the bartering system, even durable gas masks are only 2x toothpaste and a lighter which are pretty common items
The heavy chopper will hoover if the pilot leaves the driver seat for any reason, also once the heavy chopper is gased up with heavy fuel it can be refueled at any regular gas station if you can get it close enough
Great tip thank you, I was unsure if you could repair and refuel it with gas stations and have yet to try but you have confirmed it for me, you will see the heavy chopper on squad hunts more often now 😂
Here's another tip. If you revive a teamate with a revive pistol, if you drop the pistol and pick it back up, it will have all 4 charges again, meaning infinite teamate respawns :]
About tip 14. You can open the squad missions, you can see the tab of Tac Map, if u click on that you can see the map and even ping where you want to go before the game is loaded
Something regarding each commander. Specifically in Al-Mazrah, each commander is pretty much guaranteed to drop one of the 4 special plates, Chemist drops Medic, Scavenger drops Ghost, Pyro drops Tempered, and Juggy drops Comms (I need to double check this one). So if you want these new plates and you're not doubting your skill, go to these commanders.
Not true, scavenger drop what the player it is mimicking had, plenty of times he has dropped two plate or a regular three plate when I killed him. He is guaranteed a gold skull and advanced uav though!
@@its-__-tonyy-_-2493 Ah I see, maybe it is different for Ashika, I rarely play that. In Al Mazara always drops gold skull and advanced uav, then the weapons and plate it drops depends on the player/s who died. Juggernaut and pyro both drop the same loot, but pyro has tempered vest as well
DMZ has come such a long way! Just got back into it today and I'm hooked. I play SOLO so it's really tense and immersive. People say playing alone is hard but I haven't had that problem. Just gotta be a little sneaky. I can't wait to see what they've got planned down the line. So far DMZ has single handedly brought me back to COD.
I do way better solo then with randoms. If I follow my teammates, I die, if I wait for them I get spawn killed/ pushed, if i try to revive them, no luck, enemies camping bodies the entire 20 mins of the match. If you load into my team in dmz and you don't follow me, your on your own. 🤙
Not really the amount of times I have had a solo rage on proxy because we killed them 😂 Botching about they just wanted to do missions etc. PvP is part of the game, unless you are going up against useless PvP players, no solo is beating three to six half decent players!
@@deejayyy1681 Funny thing is I bet you get wrecked more than you are willing to admit, I have probably wrecked you and heard you rage 😂 at me and my squad for bring try hards, pussies etc 😂 I have heard it all from cocky solo players since season one
That's helpful, thanks. Especially with personal exfil in the beginning of the round. The missing info here, in my opinion, that is essential imho are: 1. Heavy choppers can be refueled at gas stations(but not with gas cans) 2. Comms vest works on 100 meters from you(just my observations, needs more testing). 3. Comms vest is silenced(does not indicate operators) when operators use a stealth vest. 4. Personal exfil works even in radiation. You can buy it at the shop that is already in radiation and use it even if it is in radiation. They will come to pick you up no matter what. 5. Tempered vest is not here for some reason. You can also use it in combo with other vests as only 2 plates could replate it instead of 3, and when you put on a different vest, it will still have full plates. Not the best way to use it, but it sometimes saves lives :)
10:11 - Durable Gas Masks are actually much easier to find now since you can barter for them at Buy Stations. It takes two Toothpastes and one Lighter.
Whatever you extract in the secure backpack will transfer to your other operators if you switch to them and load into a new round. Great way to regear one of your operators after he dies
Yes we discovered this last night! It was a suprise given you cannot transfer large backpacks between operators but for whatever reason, you can transfer secure backpack. I am guessing this is some kind of oversight and will get patched eventually so make the most of it to gear up or re-gear all your operators fast while you can!
I dont know if it was like this last season, but B21 starts you off with a 3 plate vest, large backpack, and a 5 attachment silenced Fennic. You have to loot a dead player and take their vest and bag if you want to have them on extract, but i usually can stay low while looting until the end and then get out pretty easily. Usually youll come across dead players that you can loot as you go. You get to keep the Fennic too so its pretty good to have a contraband stash filled with silenced 5 attatchment guns.
Regarding the spawn locations, you can also press Y(or whatever key is set for missions tab) and then switch to map and be able to see where are the contracts/strongholds/vehicles while players are still loading into the game.
I've been doing the mission item selling thing too. It's nice to have a little bit of cash to get plates right away. I think plates are the most crucial item to have and the earlier you have some the better. I'm also loving the personal exfil. Today I used it to extract the train case. Had a crazy fight with multiple squads on the train and got out with the case using the personal exfil in a remote area of the map.
Really enjoying this season as a solo player, a good balance of PvE and PvP. Thanks for the tips, the late exfil and calling in the heli just before gas comes is a solo's dream and I've been using it alot recently.
A great find for extracting with the Scavenger Calling card is to have the secure BP equipt and then once you kill the Scavenger pickup and exfill with the card. It will stay with you and you can quickly infil and exfil until the mission is complete. As long as you do not remove the calling card you can help your friends with this mission.

There is a fourth new vest. The Tempered Vest can only be bartered for on Ashika and it uses 2 plates instead of 3 but provides the same amount of armor as a 3 plate
Not true it actually is greater protection than three plates, otherwise it would be redundant... Also I believe it has greater protection Vs armour piercing, explosive rounds etc!
Ive shot a playe on the other side of a street. I was on roof him on street. I head shoteed with anti armor rounds equipped. Not armor piercing. And i just cracked them.
He literally says they didn't know for some time, which could mean two days after the game launched or two months. They didn't figure this out recently.
Regarding zip lines you can also grab the orange zip line support stanchion and stand on it instead of the ledge, great for surprising enemies. You just have to time it right when you hit the top of the zip.
Some Hostage Rescue locations have only glass windows you can breach without setting off the countdown timer like going through the doors does. Not all of them, but some.
We actually spawned behind the containers again, twice, at the north of Hafid where that gas station is. Also spawned on the rocks beside it on the north along the water. The heavy chopper can be refueled at gas stations which I love and unfortunately, when I press ESC at the map screen when loading, I just get a black screen now. Also, 2 of us spawned in with a black screen but could seen the mini map. The other friend on our team was fine so we used the mini map and his eyes to exfil at the top of Zaya. It was insane.
Would like to see the vests and backpacks comparison test. like for the common vest, how it works, How wide the detection range is. and for the backpacks like that secure pack, when I RTB can I share the items in the secure pack with my other operators?
Another awesome thing, the Tempered vest, it's a 2 plate , but each plate is 75 HP! You can get it either by killing the pyro, or craft it in ashika island! Great content !
In addition to #9 about heavy choppers you can use gas stations to refuel it. Since others might think that only "normal" gas and "electricity" can only work on gas stations haha.
At launch it was an actual spawn on that spot. Being right next to a player spawn isn't really the issue as most people will have moved away from their spawn once you get a hold of a helicopter and need to refuel it.
If any PC player had a problem with map scroll wheel zoom in / out after season 3 update, go to keybinds.. combat.. next weapon.. set scroll wheel down.. go to advanced combat.. previous weapon.. set scroll wheel up.. this binds the map zoom in and out to scroll wheel. 👌🏻
Can you get any vehicles in the back of the heavy chopper? Like the quads or boat? Its definitely not necessary but a cool extraction to attempt if possible
Don't tell the devs, but - on PC if you press the "squad missions" button before the round starts then ***click*** the map tab at the top of the UI, you can preview the full map. Buy stations won't spawn until round start, but contracts and vehicles are visible. Good hunting & full salams to all.
For the early spawn tip there's a better one. You can press Z to bring up the missions interface then you can switch to the map on the top. You can start to plan your round before it even started
I really wish the "reduced time" for insured weapon cooldowns could be "banked" in the event that none of them are on cooldown anyway. That way, when you eventually lose your weapon, that effort up to that point wasn't wasted (in terms of cooldown, I understand you get XP as well))
I agree, I think though that they should keep like 10 min left that u have to play, so that the contraband items are still important. (especially because with the new update now, we can use contraband however we want. Like I have a stash of like 18 or so that are all maxed out to what I usually would run. I do wish however that you could use the weapons table to change a gun to a certain skin, even if it was 500$-2000$ for a skin alone, idk sometimes you just have the money for it, and I love using polyatomic items)
I play solo and if you do B21 you can farm skeleton keys. I have 20 from tonight. The recipe is 3 encrypted hard drives which are easy to find on B21. I was getting 2 or 3 skeleton keys per round, and while looking for them I found the loot required for the tempered vest nearly every time. I have a great loop that has tons of the loot required, and its relatively safe. I usually have to go to the buy station because I'm filled up with hard drives before I even get the chance to finish my loot loop. I feel like they made the bots a little easier. I dont think I've died to the bots at all since season 3 started. Maybe I just got a little better.
No as long as you call it and exfil before the screen turns black and insta kill's anyone left on the map, you can leave after the final exfil. Again all on the timing as so far I have managed to just exfil with seconds before insta death with it and also died during takeoff to the insta kill effect of black screen!
Using a secured bag, going to ashika with a weapons locker key and getting the gpus allows you to barter for 3 use skeleton keys on al maz. You can also barter for them on ashika but they're only one use iirc. Been doing this the last couple of days and currently have 8 3 use skeleton keys in my stash.
@@hobojoe9717 not always. But you have like a 98% chance of getting at least 1 if you open up all 3 lockers. Most of the time you get 1-2 for sure. But if I remember it is 2 gold bars and 5 computer components to make a gpu on ashika. Which bars are easier to find. But the secure backpack way is the best way to make the key. On ashika it is vintage wine I believe needed
@@hobojoe9717 I've always gotten atleast one yeah everytime but most of the time I've gotten 2 or 3. But like Jeremy said, it's not a guaranteed item everytime.
That last tip, on PC you can press Y to view your squad missions and then use mouse to press in TAC Map to see the actual map. Edit: actually, the TAC map trick works once you're in game but can't normally press Map key.
As Far as in Loading Screen, I Used to be Able to Hit 'Esc' on Keyboard, and It Showed Where We Were Loading Into. Esc Doesn't Work Now....Glad You Found a New Key. It's Trivial Knowledge, but It Satisfies the Hacker Tastebuds.
Another tip. The revive pistol doesn't go away after you use it and swap out for another field upgrade now. So use it a couple times, swap another upgrade and re-equip it and it will be full again
Just really started playing DMZ and it's a really fun game mode. Challenging yet rewarding when you complete missions. Thanks for the tips, I will most def use them
The last tip about the spawn location actually if you press the Y (quest page) when it pops you can go to the map page so you can see not only the spawn location but also the actual contracts or weapon case location etc
The other day, it was season 2, I jumped off the building planning to shoot into the chopper but i pulled too soon and landed right in the perfect position on top! I was excited because I never try to do it, it just happened!
There are several strategies that open up from the secure backpack: 1. Load it with 5 Advanced UAVs (and get your squad to do the same. Boom, 15 advanced UAVs for your sweat round) 2. Load it with essential items to push quickly in the next match like an extra selfie, uav, a stack of plates, and a couple gold bars for quick purchases at buy stations. 3. Carry a large backpack in it to swap with so you always have capacity. 4. Use it to send valuable items and gear to your other operators after they lose all their stuff. 5. Make gathering items for barter or missions a lot easier since you can try several rounds in a row to gather them all instead of just one.
My mates and I were on a personal exfil the same time the final exfil was leaving, we were about 5 seconds behind of the final on takeoff. About 15 seconds of flying we were just about to get the exfil cutscene and it killed us all. Just so you are aware lol
It will track as your insured slot when you equip and infil. I had 3 dupes, they counted as insureds and disappeared 1 by 1 after realizing this and unequiping. Even had a dupe from insured slot that was on cooldown, equipped that one and it registered as my final open insured slot. It may briefly seem it's been duped, but in the end it is not.
Abusing the secure backpack and active duty operators is also quite fun. If you have one operator with the secure backpack, you can exfil with some of the more rarer items. After that, you can switch to an operator without the backpack, but you still get to actually keep what you looted, meaning that you could start your next round with a scavenger backpack with five gold skulls or something even better, like self revs.
On the last chapter, you can also press "Y" and enter the tac-map before you really spawn. See your location and nearby contracts :) Great video as allways
Pressing escape during the drone view screen? My friends, you can open the squad mission menu (I think 'Y' is the PC default) letting you open the TAC MAP during that time. Can even start pinging stuff already. This has been possible ever since launch.
I'm called ASF on Call of Duty but I'm still getting the hang of DMZ I got my 1st exfll the night before last, I ended up buying the EOD bundle and that 15 minute cool down is a god send 💯 the one everyone is crying over 😊
For solo players, they should make contracts a set amount of cash that will be evenly distributed, so instead of getting 6500 for an HVT kill, you'd get 6500 x 3 because you're the only person in your squad. That way people aren't also super inclined to join up into 6 man squads and run around the map doing all the contracts, and if they do, punish them in some form (like giving them half contract reward cash for being in a 6 man team). They either need to buff rewards for solo players or give them more features that benefit their playstyle and can't be abused by teams of 2 or 3+.
Turrets on Ashika and in building 21 - do not hurt the player. Only if you get too close. I think this bug will be fixed soon, but so far they are completely harmless. And one more thing - some people cannot get into building 21 due to an error that is still not clear what is connected with. "You need to install DLC" something like that. But those who go there this weekend completely without weapons and armor - get 3 plates, self-reanimation, a large backpack and a fully upgraded vector in a spare backpack slot. immediately after the countdown to the start of the match - the character will suddenly be fully clothed. Have fun until it's fixed.😇
For your final tip, it’s better to press Y on PC to open your squads mission and you can click on the tac map at the top to open your map see what vehicle is around you
Legend. My best tip to get better is to catch Stodeh and Westie (and friends) streams during the week (around 6am ET) and watch them go about their missions and crazy gameplay for a few hours. Never a dull moment!
G'day Stodeh, just saying there's one more spot u can exfield with which is the wind shield of the heli, and you can even shoot people inside which makes it better. I just did it and wiped out a 5 men team yesterday😂
This is a very good video. I also appreciate your clarity of speaking. I also hope that you can make more videos with ON1C & friends as well. Please have a wonderful time. I look forward to your videos.
I actually used the trick with the secure bag after seeing it on yours or Westies stream. Love from Manchester, UK. Your content is ACE. TADAK over and out.
There is a fourth vest which uses two plates with the power of three plates but it's insanely rare and if I'm correct it's only sold at 1 buy station every match along with a GPU in the same buy station
#14 if you see this screen hit Y or what key you interact for Squad Missions. then select Tac-Map on top of the screen you can use map before all players for ping or search like heli or uav towers. Also you can check your keybindings by pressin P at the menu or in game.
I think stealth vest is the most op addition to season 3! You can waltz up on players using uav towers or regular or advanced uav now and they will have no clue unless they spot you visually before you ambush them 😂
If I buy a personal Exfil, if I get downed/killed can that enemy take it from me and use it? Can any enemy also get in my Exfil chopper or steal it in any other way?
You can actually also just press Y in the second half on the loading loading screen and it will bring up your missions menu where you can also look at the minimap and ping stuff already.
First item I got on my first solo of season 3 on Al Mazrah was the heavy chopper fuel. Didn't even know it only spawned on the train. I got really lucky
Best loot spots for Season 3?
One error on your part on personal exfil, you said: "this exfil can be called whilst in the gas as long as final exfil chopper hasn't left the map"
if buy station is available after last exfil chopper leaves, you can buy exfil chopper from buy station and exfil.
i missed final exfil chopper, and was waiting game to end but game didn't end, until gas covered last buy station. took a moment to realize it rushed to buy station but chopper took too long to arrive and gas covered last buy station and died.
TLDR: DMZ match ends when last buy station is covered by gas allowing you to miss last chopper and still exfil.
Double decker buildings in north east of Rohan Oil next to white tents usually has enough gear to make one of the 3-plate vests. Sometimes the buy station spawns connected to it as well.
Great content as always. The train still is a very good loot spot. u miss 1vest, the Orange one whith 2 75hp plates, in Al Mazrah u can find him if u kill the piro man. Cheers ✌️
Ammo depot has unlimited ammo! OMG
I have been doing the spawn glitch since season 1 but. Now it doesn’t work for me

Does stealth vest take you off uav towers as well?
Yes it does.
@@rmsherm78 sweet thanks!
@@Drkloki-pb3ym You're very welcome! I was happy just to be able to answer a question instead of asking one for a change.
Nice video.... I already used a few of these tips on all my runs, but a lot I hadn't thought of.. great content.. keep it up
We actually spawned behind the containers again, twice, at the north of Hafid where that gas station is. Also spawned on the rocks beside it on the north along the water.
The heavy chopper can be refueled at gas stations which I love and unfortunately, when I press ESC at the map screen when loading, I just get a black screen now. Also, 2 of us spawned in with a black screen but could seen the mini map. The other friend on our team was fine so we used the mini map and his eyes to exfil at the top of Zaya. It was insane.
Would like to see the vests and backpacks comparison test. like for the common vest, how it works, How wide the detection range is. and for the backpacks like that secure pack, when I RTB can I share the items in the secure pack with my other operators?
Another awesome thing, the Tempered vest, it's a 2 plate , but each plate is 75 HP! You can get it either by killing the pyro, or craft it in ashika island! Great content !
Would be good, if we would have a Tempered/Stealth vest ;))) That would be the best one for sure ;)
In addition to #9 about heavy choppers you can use gas stations to refuel it. Since others might think that only "normal" gas and "electricity" can only work on gas stations haha.
The funny thing about the Hafid Port refuel spot, is its still right next to a player spawn cause my last DMZ mission spawned me 50 meters from it
At launch it was an actual spawn on that spot. Being right next to a player spawn isn't really the issue as most people will have moved away from their spawn once you get a hold of a helicopter and need to refuel it.
If any PC player had a problem with map scroll wheel zoom in / out after season 3 update, go to keybinds.. combat.. next weapon.. set scroll wheel down.. go to advanced combat.. previous weapon.. set scroll wheel up.. this binds the map zoom in and out to scroll wheel. 👌🏻
Can you get any vehicles in the back of the heavy chopper? Like the quads or boat? Its definitely not necessary but a cool extraction to attempt if possible
Keep the nice content coming !!! you and westie rule the DMZ
Credit where credit it due, there's some banger tips in there. The zip line one especially handy and the dooking for choppers. 👍
Don't tell the devs, but - on PC if you press the "squad missions" button before the round starts then ***click*** the map tab at the top of the UI, you can preview the full map. Buy stations won't spawn until round start, but contracts and vehicles are visible. Good hunting & full salams to all.
For the early spawn tip there's a better one. You can press Z to bring up the missions interface then you can switch to the map on the top. You can start to plan your round before it even started
I really wish the "reduced time" for insured weapon cooldowns could be "banked" in the event that none of them are on cooldown anyway. That way, when you eventually lose your weapon, that effort up to that point wasn't wasted (in terms of cooldown, I understand you get XP as well))
I agree, I think though that they should keep like 10 min left that u have to play, so that the contraband items are still important. (especially because with the new update now, we can use contraband however we want. Like I have a stash of like 18 or so that are all maxed out to what I usually would run. I do wish however that you could use the weapons table to change a gun to a certain skin, even if it was 500$-2000$ for a skin alone, idk sometimes you just have the money for it, and I love using polyatomic items)
I play solo and if you do B21 you can farm skeleton keys. I have 20 from tonight. The recipe is 3 encrypted hard drives which are easy to find on B21. I was getting 2 or 3 skeleton keys per round, and while looking for them I found the loot required for the tempered vest nearly every time. I have a great loop that has tons of the loot required, and its relatively safe. I usually have to go to the buy station because I'm filled up with hard drives before I even get the chance to finish my loot loop. I feel like they made the bots a little easier. I dont think I've died to the bots at all since season 3 started. Maybe I just got a little better.
The whole exfilling in the gas as long as you called it before the gas hits was already in Season 2. Used it all the time.
It should be noted that a personal exfil during final exfil must be completed before the counter reaches 20 seconds
No as long as you call it and exfil before the screen turns black and insta kill's anyone left on the map, you can leave after the final exfil.
Again all on the timing as so far I have managed to just exfil with seconds before insta death with it and also died during takeoff to the insta kill effect of black screen!
That makes sense, i had issues with last minute personal exfils killing me as i extract
Using a secured bag, going to ashika with a weapons locker key and getting the gpus allows you to barter for 3 use skeleton keys on al maz. You can also barter for them on ashika but they're only one use iirc. Been doing this the last couple of days and currently have 8 3 use skeleton keys in my stash.
Are there guaranteed GPUs in the weapons lockers?
@@hobojoe9717 not always. But you have like a 98% chance of getting at least 1 if you open up all 3 lockers. Most of the time you get 1-2 for sure. But if I remember it is 2 gold bars and 5 computer components to make a gpu on ashika. Which bars are easier to find. But the secure backpack way is the best way to make the key. On ashika it is vintage wine I believe needed
@@hobojoe9717 I've always gotten atleast one yeah everytime but most of the time I've gotten 2 or 3. But like Jeremy said, it's not a guaranteed item everytime.
Great tips!
That last tip, on PC you can press Y to view your squad missions and then use mouse to press in TAC Map to see the actual map. Edit: actually, the TAC map trick works once you're in game but can't normally press Map key.
Once you use the heavy chopper fuel to get it going, you can refuel it at any normal gas station!
As Far as in Loading Screen, I Used to be Able to Hit 'Esc' on Keyboard, and It Showed Where We Were Loading Into. Esc Doesn't Work Now....Glad You Found a New Key. It's Trivial Knowledge, but It Satisfies the Hacker Tastebuds.
Forgot tempered vests Stodeh. Love the content. I watch you and Westies every live stream. Cheers
Good advise. I like that secured and scavenger backpack, That is exactly the type of tip I was looking for.
Awesome Tips - love that Crane Control Room entry. Stumbled upon this a couple of days ago.
Another tip. The revive pistol doesn't go away after you use it and swap out for another field upgrade now. So use it a couple times, swap another upgrade and re-equip it and it will be full again
Just really started playing DMZ and it's a really fun game mode. Challenging yet rewarding when you complete missions. Thanks for the tips, I will most def use them
I'm in a duo looking for a 3rd if you're ever up for it...
Idk how long you playing, but just surviving one game is very difficult task.
The last tip about the spawn location actually if you press the Y (quest page) when it pops you can go to the map page so you can see not only the spawn location but also the actual contracts or weapon case location etc
The other day, it was season 2, I jumped off the building planning to shoot into the chopper but i pulled too soon and landed right in the perfect position on top! I was excited because I never try to do it, it just happened!
There are several strategies that open up from the secure backpack:
1. Load it with 5 Advanced UAVs (and get your squad to do the same. Boom, 15 advanced UAVs for your sweat round)
2. Load it with essential items to push quickly in the next match like an extra selfie, uav, a stack of plates, and a couple gold bars for quick purchases at buy stations.
3. Carry a large backpack in it to swap with so you always have capacity.
4. Use it to send valuable items and gear to your other operators after they lose all their stuff.
5. Make gathering items for barter or missions a lot easier since you can try several rounds in a row to gather them all instead of just one.
Great video as always Stodeh!
My mates and I were on a personal exfil the same time the final exfil was leaving, we were about 5 seconds behind of the final on takeoff. About 15 seconds of flying we were just about to get the exfil cutscene and it killed us all. Just so you are aware lol
Stodgy about the last tip when u spawn if u press the button for the teammates missions u can acesa the map and see exactly where u are
Tip: in the active duty menu 1 put an insured weapon in a medium or large bag - switch to an active duty without backpack. Ding ding free contraband 😉
Doe's this really work 😮
@@Quincey666 last time i checked it worked, don’t know when they are going to patch it
@@Quincey666 nope
Patched....also read of people who's game got deleted trying this
It will track as your insured slot when you equip and infil. I had 3 dupes, they counted as insureds and disappeared 1 by 1 after realizing this and unequiping. Even had a dupe from insured slot that was on cooldown, equipped that one and it registered as my final open insured slot. It may briefly seem it's been duped, but in the end it is not.
Abusing the secure backpack and active duty operators is also quite fun. If you have one operator with the secure backpack, you can exfil with some of the more rarer items. After that, you can switch to an operator without the backpack, but you still get to actually keep what you looted, meaning that you could start your next round with a scavenger backpack with five gold skulls or something even better, like self revs.
is it really "abuse" if that is intended?
love your content bro can please make more videos like this its really good having this information even if most of it is just common sense
Thank you
Great video Stodeh, very helpful
Hi stodeh can you please confirm if stealth armor counters advanced uav?
Hi, how long does the re-breather work for?
If you equip the Scavenger bag with the secure backpack stowed and then you get killed before swapping back don't you lose both???
Wait you can take other people bags 00:56 ? Or its just the new specialty bags that you can take? Im playing on console
On the last chapter, you can also press "Y" and enter the tac-map before you really spawn. See your location and nearby contracts :) Great video as allways
Pressing escape during the drone view screen? My friends, you can open the squad mission menu (I think 'Y' is the PC default) letting you open the TAC MAP during that time. Can even start pinging stuff already. This has been possible ever since launch.
I'm called ASF on Call of Duty but I'm still getting the hang of DMZ I got my 1st exfll the night before last, I ended up buying the EOD bundle and that 15 minute cool down is a god send 💯 the one everyone is crying over 😊
You are one of the best Stodeh! Thank you
Stodeh, you always do a good job pal
Does the color of the dmg indicator tell you if it's AI or real player shooting ypu? Like what's the difference between white and red?
Thank you! As always - insightful for us budding DMZ players.
For solo players, they should make contracts a set amount of cash that will be evenly distributed, so instead of getting 6500 for an HVT kill, you'd get 6500 x 3 because you're the only person in your squad. That way people aren't also super inclined to join up into 6 man squads and run around the map doing all the contracts, and if they do, punish them in some form (like giving them half contract reward cash for being in a 6 man team). They either need to buff rewards for solo players or give them more features that benefit their playstyle and can't be abused by teams of 2 or 3+.
Turrets on Ashika and in building 21 - do not hurt the player. Only if you get too close. I think this bug will be fixed soon, but so far they are completely harmless. And one more thing - some people cannot get into building 21 due to an error that is still not clear what is connected with. "You need to install DLC" something like that. But those who go there this weekend completely without weapons and armor - get 3 plates, self-reanimation, a large backpack and a fully upgraded vector in a spare backpack slot. immediately after the countdown to the start of the match - the character will suddenly be fully clothed. Have fun until it's fixed.😇
For your final tip, it’s better to press Y on PC to open your squads mission and you can click on the tac map at the top to open your map see what vehicle is around you
Dmz season 2 allowed choppers to arrive as well if you hit right as radiation arrived
Do you keep the secure backpack for good once you unlock it?
No just as long as you don't die, if you die you keep your two weapons for the next round and any items in it, which is the intended point of it.
Legend. My best tip to get better is to catch Stodeh and Westie (and friends) streams during the week (around 6am ET) and watch them go about their missions and crazy gameplay for a few hours. Never a dull moment!
Full salam
Get off your knees
G'day Stodeh, just saying there's one more spot u can exfield with which is the wind shield of the heli, and you can even shoot people inside which makes it better. I just did it and wiped out a 5 men team yesterday😂
Revive pistols can be prolonged by swapping them out by unequiping them and re-equiping
I can say that you can press Z (squad missions) and look up on screen, you can press map button (not on keyboard) and make a plan what to do
This is a very good video. I also appreciate your clarity of speaking.
I also hope that you can make more videos with ON1C & friends as well. Please have a wonderful time. I look forward to your videos.
I actually used the trick with the secure bag after seeing it on yours or Westies stream. Love from Manchester, UK. Your content is ACE. TADAK over and out.
Good shit stodeh 👍
There is a fourth vest which uses two plates with the power of three plates but it's insanely rare and if I'm correct it's only sold at 1 buy station every match along with a GPU in the same buy station
#14 if you see this screen hit Y or what key you interact for Squad Missions. then select Tac-Map on top of the screen you can use map before all players for ping or search like heli or uav towers. Also you can check your keybindings by pressin P at the menu or in game.
Love the content. Really helpful as I start to play DMZ. I haven’t been able to play much as don’t have anyone to play with 😢 but am persevering!
when loading screen goes, you can also press y, and click on top to map, bug is from start :)), really useful
whats the best guns to use in season 3 dmz?
3:02 it was always like this 😂 wym
Also stealth vest ignores the player alert from comms vest, so you can easily sneak up on anyone wearing comms vest
I think stealth vest is the most op addition to season 3!
You can waltz up on players using uav towers or regular or advanced uav now and they will have no clue unless they spot you visually before you ambush them 😂
If I buy a personal Exfil, if I get downed/killed can that enemy take it from me and use it? Can any enemy also get in my Exfil chopper or steal it in any other way?
You can actually also just press Y in the second half on the loading loading screen and it will bring up your missions menu where you can also look at the minimap and ping stuff already.
First item I got on my first solo of season 3 on Al Mazrah was the heavy chopper fuel. Didn't even know it only spawned on the train. I got really lucky
It doesn't, I found it already everywhere, never saw it on the train tbh
When you zone in and see the gray drone image, press Y for group quests then on the top click map and you can see map and start planning
