No worries bud, will be on most of Saturday and Sunday daytime, should only take 10 mins. If you post your acti ID I will send you a friend request as soon as I get on Saturday (middayish). Yeah I will try and get on when you're on to grab it. If it's only a 10 min jobbie it should be doable. My acti id is: Addyb #4947421

You can get Shotgun longshots on Shipment. There's a new 'Chimera' AR that is basically the Honey Badger from Ghosts. It's available from DMZ, store or by getting 2 AR kills in 15 matches. Thanks to shipment I'm on 14 and have also levelled two shotties and the hated M16. My Xmas break starts on Saturday. Would have loved to just play this and waste the day but alas I have to catch a hangover for Sunday. Yeah that Crimea absolutely shreds people on tier 1. Great for close up and long distance. Best Ar in the game.

The m13 Addy? I have it if you want it and can drop it for you over the weekend if you like. Ooh yeah that be great. You can get it if chumps have it equipped and you kill them and extract it. I have now 'gifted' it on to numerous people after getting it...

Gibroon and Addy, you should both have a friend's request from me, good luck finding it in the UI.

Had a passing interest in trying to convince a few friends to try the raid thing until I caught a bit of a stream where the players seemed to spend half the thing underwater(might be because they were all thick as fuck). I fucking hate water levels.

It doesn't take that long with the underwater bit. You have one underwater breathing mask between the 3 of you and have to cycle it whilst opening doors and disarming traps.
The bit with the symbols however is a right bastard and the end fight can be a little tricky.
Took us just under 2 hours in total as we went in at level 1 and totally blind. Having a couple of spec ops levels between you would probably make it a fair bit easier.

I read this Polygon article today, all about Warzone's DMZ mode. Downloaded it and had a blast this afternoon: not something I expected!

Yeah I’m very much not your usual CoD player, but DMZ has me hooked. Spent a couple of hours on it this evening- and felt like I was actually pretty decent against the AI enemies (still being destroyed by most human opponents though). Extracting with more than I came in with feels like a win every time, love it.
I hope extraction games are the next big thing in shooters, it does feel like a bit of an untapped well.

The AI needs it's damage or accuracy tuning a little bit. They need to either be hard hitting stromtroopers or weak hitting snipers. At the moment they are hard hitting snipers. The deadly AI needs to be contained to strongholds and major points of interest so you aren't getting all your armour stripped just for driving by in a car.
Have had some genuinely hilarious moments on proximity chat as well. Yesterday I sniped a player as he went into a doorway and his teammates got him up. It started a 5 minutes stand off with them declaring there were 6 of them in there and we said that's fine as we had 6 too (there were of us and 3 of them). I snuck round the back and killed one of them but my team mate didn't push the other entry so I died. They were genuinely excited to be able to get the loot I had so I was happy for them in a way. They were then scared to leave as I could still talk to them on prox chat and though there were loads waiting for them outside. They eventually snuck out the back and my teammate got me back up but couldn't find them on the way to the extraction.
I love dmz though and it's pretty much the only mode I play at the moment, I am on tier 3,3 and 1 at the moment if anyone fancies doing some quests. If you are lower I don't mind helping you out as well.

DMZ is the best thing in CoD in ages.
It's great fun win or lose.
Although my reaction may differ depending on how dense or gung ho my teammates are. Running off attacking AI when there are backpacks out there also attacking us is annoying.

I’d like to play more of it but don’t have a group of people to play with so would be interested in joining a game or two!

So hang in, I can play DMZ for free just by installing the Warzone client right? And I guess need to free up 100gb+ of storage on my console?

Yeah Dmz and warzone are free to play, the only thing will be your insured weapon won't be easy to level up but you use them so little that it won't matter much. I would suggest using an rpk as they are very common ground loot and it will level up fast

I only have the free to play stuff, but I’m playing it enough that I levelled whatever the first AR is up to 18 and then switched to a TAC-56 (?). The thing I don’t understand is the Battle Pass- I get tokens by playing DMZ and I can spend them in the pass, but 1) it seems to take forever to get a single token compared with levelling guns, and 2) I’m convinced I lost a couple, where I saw it ping on the post-game screen but then it wasn’t there when I went to redeem it. Totally agree about the enemy AI Frog , it seems balanced with an assumption that you’re going to be downed by them getting a lucky shot sometimes, and have to be revived by your teammates. I’d love it if I could go in solo and hold my own against them, because sometimes I just want to check off my own objectives without having to drag a team along with me.

Battlepass is usually about 45 minutes play per token (level), that's actual in game play time as opposed to menus.
Don't think they ever actually declared how it works officially but that's close enough.

Think it’s about 50gb for DMZ if your platform lets you choose the components to install.

Nooooo. Completed my objectives, secured the LZ, then got popped by human players trying to enter the chopper.

I love DMZ, it's my most played game of the last few weeks. I binned off FIFA during the World Cup as it's just taken a massive downturn.
I am on Xbox if you need any squad members. As Frog said, sneak around, use Suppressed weapons, get your loot/missions done, and get out again.

Had a few more good sessions on DMZ last night. I tend to do couple of rounds solo with contraband weapons, trying to complete missions like “extract with stims/bandages” (ie no need for fire support). Then use the insured slot and join squads for a few rounds. Then if I need to stock up on contraband weapons again (I usually do), another couple of quick mad dash solo runs.
The best ones are where there’s a shop near an exfil point- so you can buy a really decent gun and exfil with it straight away.

The shooting down helicopters at the airport one is taking me forever to do. Every time I go in with the sakin the fucking game spawns me on the other side of the map.
Hope the AI get some attention on the 15th to tone them down. Also they need to fix the spawns as there doesnt seem enough of them down the left hand side and centre of the map.

Keep leaving my extracts too late. Had one earlier and got caught in a PvP ruck as we needed to get out. Killed a player and he pleaded for help so I let him join. He sat on top of a budding giving his other teammate instructions as to where we were so got sniped every time we went near a window. Luckily he pushed and I managed to kill him after he killed my teammate. That left us 1.6km from the extract we could possibly get to as the other 2 were written off. First car was so damaged it blew up the second it got shot, 2nd ran out of fuel so the last extract wasn't usable. Decided to just run from the gas and hope to make final extract, just about made it which was a relief as I had all 20 hdd's needed for quest in backpack.
Had a similar thing yesterday as well where we managed to do a hostage rescue to get out as we had no chance of making the exfil.
Must remember to leave a few minutes earlier.

That must be extra frustrating when someone in your squad is working against you. I’d have thought his team chat would stop when he joined your squad, unless he was just on Discord with them or whatever.
Is friendly fire disabled for explosives? That would have been a nice way to solve that problem

Happens a lot when you pick people up apparently, I won't be doing it again. I shall be helping myself to their shit and flouncing off.
We use discord and it allows you set proximity chat to push to talk so you can hear it but not be heard unless you want to.
Yeah, you can't hurt team members at all. I would quite like it if it had friendly fire to be honest, would make pushing buildings quite tense.

I always rob them. Haven't met one who actually meant it yet.

The new Ashika island in DMZ (and Warzone Resurgence apparently) is a lot smaller than Al Mazrah. Seems much more likely you run into other squads, although I’m not sure if they’ve also reduced the number of players.
The AI enemies are still pretty tough too. I was hoping they’d balance it a bit more for solo players but it seems they haven’t, or maybe I’m just a bit rubbish. Still having fun in squads with randoms though.

Just about managed to get my second secured slot unlocked before the wipe. That should help a fair bit as I don't die too often on Dmz so should mostly have one of my guns available and that makes a huge difference. I think the rpk is still going to be one of the better guns to use for it though even after the nerf.
