How DMZ works

After Action Report and ratings

The report shown after every deployment: the F to S++ rating, how XP is counted, and how cash reaches your Bank.

Quick answers

What is the best rating in DMZ?
S++. Activision says S or better earns the best rewards.

The After Action Report (AAR) appears at the end of every deployment, whether you extracted or not.

What it shows

It has four parts: Report, Rating, Level and Summary.

  • Rating. Your run is graded from F to S++ on three things: Objectives, Combat and Looting. Activision says an S rating or better earns the best rewards.
  • XP. Separate lines for AI kills, Missions Completed, Side Ops Completed and containers opened. XP counts even on a failed exfil.
  • Loot. On a successful exfil it breaks down your valuables, 3D Printer Ingredients, rare items and DMZ Cash.
  • Cash. The total cash you brought out is paid into your Bank.

Why it matters

The AAR is the clearest view of what a run was worth. If your rating stays low, look at which of the three categories is dragging it down. A quiet looting run and a loud fighting run can both score well if you also finish objectives.

What has not been published: the XP value of each category and the letters between F and S.

Still waiting on confirmation

We only state what Activision, Infinity Ward or the press have confirmed. These parts of the topic are not confirmed yet, and this page will be updated when they are:

  • XP value of each category
  • Grades between F and S
