Anyone having this issue where you try to exfil, get on the heli, and it doesn't exfil you. The heli just takes you up high and drops you to your death?

It's happened twice now and pretty frustrating.

Anybody found a good build calculator website? I'm at work and I want to figure out some builds, but a lot of the builder websites don't have all the traits available.

I have tried several times to join the cod discord but no links I follow will work. Is there any different place I can find teammates? I don't want to play on my own because I just know I'm going to get killed lol

My drone got DDOS'd, exploded, and my character couldn't move. I even got downed and i still had my gun out but nothing. After I full died, my buddy got me back up but I still had the DDOS effect the rest of the game.

Added text for automod,

I have yet to receive the vault edition content. There was two rescue beacons and I have not seen those at all. Is there anyway to get this fixed? I really would love to get the content I purchased.

How is everyone's DMZ grind going? So far this is my progress...

Here are some Weapon TTK Stats: (vs 300hp target - 3 armour plates)
Kastov 762 - 0.700 TTK (42 dmg with 600RPM)
Han 86 AR - 0.648 TTK (36 dmg with 741RPM)
Cronnen AR - 0.622 TTK (40 dmg at 674RPM)
Axion AR - 0.595 TTK (40 dmg at 706RPM)
M4A1 AR - 0.592 TTK (34 dmg at 811RPM)
Oden AR - 0.580 TTK (60 dmg at 414RPM)
Nightshade - 0.585 TTK (32 dmg at 923RPM)
PPsH-41 - 0.540 TTK (28 dmg at 1110RPM)

I’m willing to take the karma hit off the bat and say the mode does not need a PVE mode because it is already very full of bots and it’s quite easy to go multiple games without encountering a person if you play carefully enough.

However, it’s obvious judging by Arc Raiders that your average gamer isn’t as “competitive” as they once were, they want to loot in peace and get the instant hollow gratification that say, TikTok reels or Shorts provide, all without any risk and that’s fine. They paid their money too and they should be able to play how they want.

So if the devs do eventually give in and create a PvE DMZ mode then it should be entirely separated because otherwise people will just farm materials unfairly in a zero risk mode and be able to take them into a mode where people have had to at least have the minimal risk of encountering another human player. All that will happen is, people will abuse it to farm materials far more easily otherwise.

Lastly I will just say, hats off, best CoD yet.

Do i need to play the campaign before playing dmz? Like are there any guns or operators tied to the story and you need to unlock them to play in dmz?

I don't really care about the story since i can just watch on youtube

Thanks for the replies

Platform: PC (Battle.net), mouse and keyboard

Region: Europe

Modes: Campaign, Multiplayer and DMZ

"Pressing Sprint or Melee does not pull a player out of ADS if they have Toggle ADS enabled." It was added to Known Issues on 21 Aug during the Beta and is now in Resolved with the "Fix Released" label. Neither part is fixed for me in the launch build, so I think the card should be reopened.

My settings:

Aim Down Sight Behavior: Toggle (Keyboard & Mouse > Combat)

Sprint/Tactical Sprint/Focus: Left Shift (default bind)

Focus Behavior: Hold (default, under Combat Advanced Settings)

Steps to reproduce:

Set Aim Down Sight Behavior to Toggle.

Load into any mode with a non-sniper weapon (Firing Range is the quickest).

Click right mouse button once to aim down sights.

Hold W and tap Shift once, like you normally would to sprint.

What happens:

You stay aimed in and keep walking at ADS speed. Shift triggers Focus instead of sprint, Focus stays on while you hold it, and when you let go you're still in ADS. Melee doesn't take you out of ADS either.

What should happen:

One Shift press should drop ADS and start sprinting right away, like it did in MWIII. Melee should also pull you out of ADS, which is what the Trello card describes. Focus shouldn't get in the way of this on non-sniper weapons.

Workarounds (neither is great):

Click right mouse button to leave ADS, then press Shift. That's two inputs for something that used to take one.

Double-tap Shift. This does cancel ADS, but it's not how sprint normally works and it fights muscle memory from previous CoDs.

Other notes:

Happens with every non-sniper weapon, so it's not weapon-specific.

This worked fine in MWIII, so it looks like a regression.

It hurts most mid-fight: when you need to break off and run for cover, you're stuck aimed in for an extra input.

Possible fix:

Bringing back the MWIII behavior would solve it. If Focus on Shift is meant for snipers, an option like "Focus Activation: Sniper Rifles Only" would work too.

I dunno if someone's suggested this but give people the ability to burn bodies. People who've played Hunt Showdown know about what I'm talking about. Hunt Showdown used to have unlimited Possum (Necromancer) then they turned it into a one time per match (burn trait) perk. In order to counter this trait, people learned to burn bodies. This pressures the burning player's teammates to revive them and also forces solos to revive prematurely, and in both cases, those players were at a disadvantage. Ther former resulted in setting a trap and the former meant getting camped until you totally burn out.

Run to the exfil anyone shows up in the next 5 minutes gun them down because they are there to camp exfil. No way are they completing story missions that fast. You can wait or stay there the rest of the match letting teams roll through.

Just wondering at all if there’s any kind of player aggression difference like arc raiders. From some YouTubers I’ve watched it seems mostly like solo players kinda just do there own thing, whereas squads is like traditional DMZ. Obviously moreso than arc raiders the threat of being eliminated is much higher (it’s cod that’s to be expected) but just curious on the general communities experience so far.

Have you unlocked Pyroclast on any weapon yet?

Takes a lot of time haha
Finished it all in DMZ.

Can anyone please help me with this stressful mission

Does the feature actually work or am I just getting matched with wannabe bloodthirsty players?
Every time I down a guy I always give him a chance to join my squad but you can just see them actively crawling away or self res in front of us as if it’s gonna be their best move 😂
Old DMZ you would be pretty much guaranteed to have a squad of 6 by the time extraction arrives.

Is anyone already having prestige traits? How does it work exactly? When you die you can choose if you want to but your operator back for all your traits or if want to reset the traits for free but keep the prestige traits? Or us it different?

Every now and again I come across some doors with digital locks on them that require a four digit code . Anyone figured out what the codes are or how to find them? I am talking about DMZ, not the campaign mission codes to the containers.

6 Story missions attempts in a row. Killed right away or in the middle of the mission by Story troll each time.

And each group I was placed with said they have never finished the mission either, due to constant trolling.

This needs to be fixed. This is unplayable and should have been addressed before the game launched.

DMZ PvPvE Missions are the most stupid thing i have ever seen. You need them to progress so they are not optional. And oh look the first mission you have to do is right in a uav zone where people can see that you are doing it and just happily camp you at the exit door.

Either make them optional what i prefer or make them complete pve (I'd hate that).

DMZ made me angry already when i had to play the tutorial/intro. I haven't touched any mw campaign since 8 games.

DMZ is straigh up the spirt of Call of Duty and like a realistic mil shooter. Grayzone is popular for this reason, so why do people keep telling me to play Zombies?

Has anyone found good use for the heals? With regen being a thing, I'm struggling to find much use outside of the med kits and maybe the stim, though that's a tactical rather than a heal you can use from your backpack.

So apparently back at level 37 I unlocked a 3 plate carrier. According to the DMZ progression. But in the 3D printer it's telling me I can only get it through orders.

Which is it, DMZ? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Pick a lane!

Silly question but what game mode are people playing .? Story , Operations or Free roam ?

I want to progress through the game not sure which is the go to ?

This is what being on your base looks like on an ultrawide monitor and it really sucks lmao
