Bank & Stash
Selling past your Bank cap wastes cash, so most players upgrade the Bank and Stash first.

- Six starter recipes at level 2: Bandage, Medkit, 1-Plate Armor Vest, 2-Plate Armor Vest, Small Backpack, Medium Backpack.

- Level-track recipe unlocks: 3 Sedative Inhaler; 4 Smoke and Stun Grenade; 7 Frag and Throwing Knife; 9 Snapshot; 12 Ammo Box and Spotter Scope; 14 Armor Box.
- More level-track recipes: 17 Shock Stick; 23 Semtex; 26 Gas Mask; 28 Care Package; 31 UAV; 36 Molotov; 41 Thermite; 48 Self-Revive; 52 Inflatable Decoy; 55 Disposable Parachute.
- Defibrillator is the one story-mission recipe (Operation Critical Extraction); everything else comes from levels, Orders or looted cards.
- A looted recipe card reads '3D PRINTER RECIPE | 5000' and pays 5,000 DMZ Cash on exfil; it is consumed and unlocks only after a successful exfil.
- Weapon Manuals behave like recipe cards: consumed on exfil, added to the Gunsmith, same cash payout.
- Each recipe panel offers Print to Operator, Print to Stash, Ingredient Locations and Track/Untrack Recipe; you can print several copies at once.
- Tracking pins a recipe or ingredient: pinned items sit in the Tracked tab, move to the top of the list, and show a pin icon on loot in the field.
- Four Common printer resources exist: Synthetics, Electronics, Chemicals and Metals; looted junk breaks down into them automatically mid-match without using Stash slots. Totals sit bottom-left of the printer menu.
- Scout trait Resource Pockets gives 20% more printer resources from broken-down loot and works mid-match, not at the FOB.
- Field Crafting (Scout trait tree, sixth point) lets you craft items from Common printer resources while deployed, without visiting the FOB printer.
- Pack Rat (Scout minor trait) gives +20% max printer resource capacity and stacks with Resource Hoarder; Hostile Looter makes AI sometimes drop Uncommon and rarely Rare ingredients.
- Uncommon Ingredient Printing upgrade costs 50,000 cash plus 20 Biomaterials, 10 High-Tenacity Fibers and 5 Comms Module; each Uncommon ingredient then prints for 20 + 20 of two resources.
- Epic Ingredient Printing upgrade costs 100,000 cash plus 10 Binding Catalyst, 10 Printed Circuit Board and 5 Military Composites.
- Each Epic ingredient then prints for 100 of one Common resource plus 3 of a Rare ingredient.
- Rare ingredients cannot be printed and must be looted: Structural Alloy, CPU, Nitro Compounds, Binding Catalyst, Stock Rod, High-Tenacity Fibers, Printed Circuit Board, Nylon Cloth.
- Top-tier ingredients that no recipe prints: Experimental Compounds, Nano-Structured Alloy, Military Composites, Prototype RF Module; they gate the Ultra recipes.
- Cost pattern by rarity: Common 10+10 resources; Uncommon 15+15 or 25+25; Rare 30 resources + 3 Uncommon ingredients; Epic 50 resources + 3 Rare + 10 Uncommon.
- Cost pattern continued: Legendary recipes need 2 Epic + 5 Rare + 10 Uncommon ingredients; Ultra recipes need 2 top-tier + 4 Epic + 10 Uncommon ingredients.
- The level track also hands out ingredient packs: two Uncommon at levels 6, 11, 29, 33, 38, 39 and two Rare at 43, 44, 47, 49, 51, 53, 56, 57.
- Later track levels give finished items rather than recipes, e.g. Large Backpack at 34, 3-Plate Vest at 37, Door Breacher Charge at 62, Parachute at 69.
- Printed items are not permanent: anything crafted and carried into a deployment is lost on a failed exfil unless it sits in a secure slot.
- Documented catalogue: 95 printable recipes (9 Consumables, 8 Plate Carriers, 10 Backpacks, 10 Tacticals, 11 Lethals, 16 Field Upgrades, 10 Fire Support, 7 Gear, 14 Ingredients) plus 12 Upgrades-tab purchases.
- Ingredients must be extracted intact to count; Commanders reward 3D Printer ingredients and cash when you exfil after the kill.
- Name variants across sources: Stun/Concussion Grenade, Semtex/Sticky Grenade, Flash/Flash Grenade, NVGs/Night Vision Goggles, Ammo/Munitions Box, Control Unit(s).

- DMZ has its own 70-level Player Level track, separate from the 1-55 multiplayer track and from each Operator's Dog Tag rank.
- DMZ XP also counts toward the 1-55 player level, but multiplayer and Warzone XP never raise DMZ level.
- XP comes from Story Missions, Dynamic Operations, Side Ops and other activities.
- You keep earned XP even when the run ends without an exfil.
- Level 1 has no reward; rewards start at level 2 and every level after that gives something.
- Activision has not published how much XP each level requires.

Your roster
Operators, MIA & Dog Tags
- Everyone starts with 2 Active Duty slots; Vault Edition owners start with 3. DMZ level 15 adds one more slot.
- Unclear whether Vault Edition owners reach 4 slots at level 15; no source says.
- An Operator stays in its slot until dismissed, and one Operator cannot fill two slots. Recruiting into an empty slot is free.
- Cash, Stash, resources and printer ingredients are shared by all Active Duty Operators; each has their own loadout and backpack.
- Trait Points come only from Dog Tag ranks. 66 Traits in three trees of 22, max 9 per tree; picks lock until Prestige.
- An Operator killed in a run goes MIA and cannot deploy until rescued with Bank cash or dismissed.
- Rescue cost scales with the Operator's Trait Points. Example: $13,000 at Silver I and $65,000 at Damascus III; high ranks can exceed $100,000.
- Rescue brings back Traits, unspent Trait Points and Dog Tag rank, but the gear is gone.
4 more
- Dismissing is free but the replacement starts over at Steel I with no Traits.
- MIA Recovery Discount I-IV, printed at the 3D Printer, each take 5% off rescues. Whether they stack is undocumented.
- Operator Rescue Beacons come in the Vault Edition kit and the level 70 Advanced SERE Kit. Reported as an alternative rescue method; unconfirmed officially.
- Launch patch fixed a bug where a party leader removing teammates from DMZ marked their Operators MIA.
