DMZ / GUIDE
FOB and progression
Use the base stations, separate the progression tracks and prioritize useful upgrades.
Use the FOB as a preparation loop
Operator choices
The Forward Operating Base is the hub between deployments. Manage your Active Duty Operator, review Orders, organize supplies and prepare to enter Hajin again. More stations and upgrades become available as you progress.
Objectives
Inspect the previous result, offload what you returned with and then choose the next objective. This keeps preparation connected to what you need rather than every available menu.

Know the station milestones
Some stations are available immediately; others require progress. The milestones below are announcement information, so the station screen remains the final check for your current game.
Printer access has conflicting published information: the FOB text specifies level 2, while progression artwork places its unlock at level 1. We retain that disagreement rather than choose an unsupported answer.
- Vendor: DMZ player level 5.
- Gunsmith: DMZ player level 10.
- Additional Active Duty slot: DMZ player level 15.
- Dog Tag Case: DMZ player level 20.
- Boss Board: after your second completed Order.

Separate stored supplies from carried gear
Carrying space
The Stash is shared by your Active Duty Operators and stays at the FOB. Your backpack and equipped loadout travel with the selected Operator. Secure slots exist on particular backpack upgrades; do not assume every slot protects its contents.
Materials
The FOB briefing gives starting storage as 40 general items plus 12 weapons, counted separately. The carries eight item slots. Basic Resources have separate totals and do not consume general Stash item slots.

Keep the progression systems separate
Crafting
DMZ player progression runs through level 70 and unlocks base access, recipes and other rewards. Operator Dog Tags and Trait Points develop the individual character. Weapon progression is another system, shared across Multiplayer and DMZ.
Operator choices
The 19 October progression briefing confirms that DMZ XP also contributes to the overall level 1–55 track. Multiplayer and Warzone XP do not raise DMZ level. The progression page records all 70 levels, including additional storage and an Operator slot.

Choose the next useful upgrade
Materials
The 3D Printer handles equipment and FOB upgrades. Inspect the recipe for ingredients, access and destination before committing supplies. A new unlock is useful only if you can fund and use it.
In practice
Compare a permanent improvement with the consumables needed for the next deployment. The Workbench tracks recorded amounts and the holdings you enter; it cannot inspect your Stash.
