Encampments are small establishments located around Urzikstan populated by Terminus Mercenaries. Players will want to use extreme caution when approaching these locations, as t he forces stationed at the encampment will begin firing on players immediately. In higher threat zones, players will encounter snipers and stormtroopers at these outposts that can quickly destroy armor and knock down play

Once players access the communications tower and discover Dr. Jansen’s location, parachute off the roof and head towards the next compound . Dr. Jansen’s lab will be found on the north end of the next compound near the pier. Players will want to be careful on approach as the area is defended by several mercenaries. Keep an eye and ear out for zombies, as players will also have to deal with Tier II zombies while operating in the Extraction mission a

If players have aetherium crystal acquisitions, it is possible to rush straight to the story mission exfil, although players should consider having at least the Jugger-Nog perk active, along with a Pack-a-Punch level I upgrade on both weapons . If players do not have the acquisitions or schematics to deploy with these boosts, take advantage of the 45 minutes available to operate in Urzikstan. Efficiently completing contracts will grant players a variety of rewards, along with essence that can be spent to purchase any perks or upgrades not found in reward rifts. When ready, call Fang at the marked Extraction story exfil and survive the exfil process like normal – once the landing site is clear climb about the transport helicop

With the Shepherd story mission active, players will want to deploy to Urzikstan and head to the marked exfil location on their tac-map . The exfil location will be easily identified with the same symbol as the Extraction story mission. Hovering over the icons will provide players with text confirmation of the proper story mission exfil. Players will want to consider acquiring most of the perks (if not all) in preparation for this story mission, which will task players with an extended escort mission requiring defense against a Mega Abomination boss monster. Additionally, at least level 2 Pack-a-Punch and rare or higher rarity is recommended before leaving Urziks

After players deliver the cargo, the LTV will now be available on the map for players to use for the remainder of the deployment. Starting a deployment by completing the Deliver Cargo contract is an excellent way to quickly acquire a strong armored vehicle, a solid amount of spendable essence, and a portable heavy MG great for reinforcing positions or taking out mercenary camps and conv

Once the sixth spore is destroyed, a reward rift will spawn, emitting a small aether blast that will eliminate some of the surrounding zombies. Be sure that all zombies are eliminated before attempting to claim the contract rewa

Players can find a stronghold keycard by tackling missions that require killing Mercenaries (like the Tier 2 mission in Operation Deadbolt, FPS Game Maps Interceptor ) or by clearing out encampments . There is a slight chance of finding keycards in loot boxes scattered around Urzikstan, but if players are struggling to find a keycard, one can be bought from any buy station for 2000 esse

The Outlast contract gives a fresh twist to the Holdout mission from Outbreak – players will navigate to an Aether infested part of Urzikstan and use the PND device to build up a sonic blast that destroys all the crystals in the area . Similar to the Raid Weapon Stash contract, players will have to remain in near proximity to the device in order for it to charge up . Players do not need to worry about protecting the device, but will face a huge onslaught of undead enemies in this time, so be prepared. Be cautious of using heights to avoid zombies as, similar to Cold War, zombies will throw chunks of flesh at players when not able to reach them by h

Inhibitors will occupy a player’s tactical slot in their loadout, meaning any stun grenades or cymbal monkeys will need to be dropped in order to pick up the inhibitors. Players can store additional inhibitors if there is available space in the rucksack – this is incredibly useful for solo players who will have to destroy all six spores unaided, as they can run from spore to spore, dropping an inhibitor at every spore, then circling back to destroy th

There are also no gaps in between the drone strikes, meaning that they will continuously bombard the enemy team until they run out, but considering they stay around for a few minutes, it’s more or less guaranteed that they’ll pick up many kills. The Swarm killstreak can instantly turn a match around once they are deployed, forcing the enemy to watch each and every step they t

Players will not have to hold the Neutralizer at various points, like a typical Escort contract , but will have to e scort the Neutralizer for an extended distance while fighting off Tier II Zombies and Specials/Elites . Players will have a much easier time with the escort if they simply ride on top of the Neutralizer while eliminating enemies. While players will have a temporary reprieve from damage on top of the Neutralizer, but if players fail to kill enemies in a timely manner, eventually zombies will begin to gather and some will begin throwing chunks of flesh at players. If too many zombies group up, players can immediately get downed by the rapid throwing of flesh, so players will need to stay on top of eliminating the crowd that is not run over and destroyed by the Neutralizer its
