Modern Warfare 4 DMZ: plan the return before deployment

A look at the base, mission choices and progression behind the extraction loop.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23 with DMZ alongside Campaign and Multiplayer. The Forward Operating Base serves as a hub for gear, objectives and long-term progression.

Deployments offer Story Missions, Dynamic Operations and Free Roam. Extracted resources feed crafting and base upgrades, while the firing range provides a place to test equipment before heading out.

Start with a clear objective and adapt to the threat level of each area. Loot, mission progress and a successful extraction all need to fit the same plan; making too much noise can bring a stronger response.
