Check the correct progress counter

A Campaign completion is not a Multiplayer elimination challenge, and DMZ Player Level is not the same as your overall Player Level or an individual Operator's Dog Tag Level. Open the relevant mode and compare the exact requirement before repeating a task.

Skins and DMZ Traits are separate

An Operator's appearance should not be mistaken for a unique combat ability. In DMZ, the Active Duty system assigns progress and chosen Traits to an individual slot. Recruiting, dismissing or recovering that Operator has consequences separate from the cosmetic roster.

Edition and preorder access

The launch reference identifies several preorder, Vault Edition and Endowment pack routes. These are entitlement requirements, not free redemption codes. Because the main game has now launched, confirm that a retailer's current offer still includes a preorder item before purchasing it. The undisclosed Ju Kwon requirement has not been replaced with a guessed unlock.
