- What it is
- An extraction mode in Hajin against AI forces and other players. There is no PvE-only option.
- Solo
- Possible; solo players can still run into squads.
- Getting out
- Exfil sites are marked by green smoke: call the helicopter, hold the site, board it.
- Dying
- You lose what you carry, and the Operator goes MIA until rescued.
Solo or in a squad
👤 Going alone
You can play DMZ solo, and solo players can still meet squads in Hajin. Activision says to turn Squad Fill off for that.
❓ How big a squad is
Sources disagree. Activision says Squad Fill matches you with two other players, and Dexerto quotes the developers on "trios with trios": three. IGN says teams of up to four. Activision has not published a lobby size.
Getting out
Other ways out
Two sources add a Flare and a Fulton balloon as other ways to exfil.
Dying, MIA and rescue
💀 What you lose
Dying before you exfil loses what you are carrying.
🚑 MIA Operators
A dead Operator goes Missing in Action. You can rescue them with DMZ Cash: they keep their Traits but lose most of their loadout. Activision says you can also dismiss them.
The FOB
- The 3D Printer unlocks at DMZ level 2.
- Two sources say the Stash in the FOB is kept between runs and shared by your Active Duty Operators.
- Activision lists the Vendor at DMZ level 5, the Gunsmith at level 10 and the Dog Tag Case at level 20.
- More on each FOB station is on the Multiplayer and DMZ page.
Wanted
Two sources say eliminating four Operators makes you Wanted, and that bounties are claimed by extracting with the target's Dog Tag.
Cross-checked
Cross-checked on 26 October 2026 against callofduty.com's DMZ deep dive and how-to-play guide, IGN's and Game8's DMZ guides, Dexerto's DMZ explainers and Eurogamer's report on the PvE petition. The Stash and Wanted come from callofduty.com and Game8; the Flare and Fulton from callofduty.com and Dexerto. Not from a playthrough: nobody here has played it, and what the sources do not describe is not on this page.
