DMZ Disarming Presence Mission Guide (Map)

In Call of Duty DMZ, Disarming Presence is a Tier 1 faction mission for Phalanx, and it has three objectives that revolve around the ISO Hemlock weapon. You need to put a few ISO Hemlock guns in dead drop, and also extract with the weapon to complete all the objectives in the mission. I recommend going to the Vondel map for this mission, as it makes it much easier to collect this weapon. Here's how to complete the Disarming Presence mission in DMZ.

How to complete the Disarming Presence Mission (DMZ)

The Disarming Presence is a Tier 1 mission for Phalanx, and it unlocks after you complete five other missions for this faction. Once this mission is unlocked, you'll acquire three objectives for this particular challenge. Remember this mission can be completed in a solo run if you know where to go. While you can do it on any of the maps, I recommend visiting Vondel to complete it quickly.

All objectives in Disarming Presence Mission in DMZ

Here are the objectives for Disarming Presence:

• Drop 3 ISO Hemlock weapons in a dead drop
• Kill 10 Enemies with an ISO Hemlock
• Exfil with an ISO Hemlock weapon in the same deployment

I tried to complete this mission in different ways: finding ISO Hemlocks by defeating AI forces, and also by bringing in a custom ISO Hemlock from the Insured Weapon Slots. I recommend not dropping the Hemlock from your Insured Slot, as dropping it in the dead drop will put your weapon on cooldown. Instead, try to get the ISO Hemlocks by eliminating bots and other operators.

Where to find ISO Hemlock in DMZ

Start this mission by selecting it from the Faction Missions tab, then queue into matchmaking on the Vondel map. Once you spawn on the map, try to make your way to one of the dead drops located in Vondel. I recommend visiting the University or Vondel Zoo dead drop, as these areas have several AI combatants who drop the ISO Hemlock weapon.

If you have spawned in with an ISO Hemlock from your Insured Slot, use it to take down 10 enemies. This will complete the second objective quickly, and you'll also get ISO Hemlock drops from the AI combatants. You won't be able to pick up the same weapon if you have a custom blueprint in the inventory, so I suggest dropping your Insured Slot Hemlock for a teammate before starting the first objective.

Pick up the ISO Hemlocks dropped by the AI forces and start putting them inside dead drops. You need to repeat this process three times to complete the first objective. After completing the first two objectives, all you need to do is extract with an ISO Hemlock. Eliminate a few more AI forces to get the weapon, and head for the extraction point right away.

All Vondel Dead Drop Locations in DMZ

There are five dead drops located across the Vondel map; I recommend visiting these spots to complete the objectives of the Disarming Presence Mission. Check the yellow circles on the map image above to see the exact location for all the dead drops on Vondel.

• University Dead Drop (sector E3)
• Floating District Dead Drop (sector B5)
• Zoo Dead Drop (sector D7)
• Museum Dead Drop (sector H6)
• City Hall Dead Drop (sector G3)

I recommend visiting the University, Zoo, or Floating District dead drop to complete this mission, as these areas are swarming with AI forces that carry ISO Hemlock.
