DMZ Recon Complete Guide — Strategies, Loot Spots & Extraction Tips

# DMZ Recon Quick Play — Everything You Need to Know ## What is DMZ Recon? A condensed extraction mode on Serpent Island with up to 4 squads. Loot, complete objectives, extract. ## Best Drop Locations ### Tier 1 (High Risk, High Reward) - **Kurohana Base**: Best loot density but expect fights - **Port**: Good loot, multiple exits ### Tier 2 (Balanced) - **Observatory**: Decent loot, low traffic - **Residential**: Spread out, safe if you loot fast ### Tier 3 (Safe Start) - **Edge buildings**: Minimal loot but guaranteed survival ## Extraction Strategy 1. Complete at least one objective for bonus XP 2. Move to extraction early — camp if needed 3. The extraction switch is OUTSIDE the ship now — smoke before activating 4. Cover your teammate who's flipping the switch 5. Be ready for last-second fights at extraction ## Loadout Recommendations - Primary: Lachmann 5.56 or MX Guardian - Secondary: DL Q33 for long-range picks - Equipment: Smoke grenades (essential), Trophy System - Class: Tactical Mirror (loot duplication is OP) ## Squad Roles - Point man: Leads pushes, carries close-range weapon - Overwatch: Sniper cover from elevated positions - Medic: Carries plates and health items - Objective runner: Completes tasks while team provides cover
