MW4 DMZ Orders: Chapters and Rewards

Quick Answer

Check the current Orders chapter and task wording before deploying. The October 30 patch fixes Information Power Intel purchases; Dynamic Ops pay 10,000–20,000 Cash, separate from page rewards.

On this page

DMZ Orders are the task pages at your FOB's Orders station. Check the active page before deploying: a print task, a particular building and a Story Mission completion can all require different preparation. A page contains three Orders, and finishing its tasks advances the track.

After the tutorial page, chapter choices change the order in which you encounter some pages. Search by chapter and Order name, not just a page number copied from another player's guide. Story Missions are separate operations selected in Deploy, although some Orders require you to finish one.

Read the current page at the FOB

FOB Orders terminal with the active page and tasks

The official FOB guide describes Orders as always-available directives that teach systems, award supplies and help advance your Operator and base. You can also review active Orders and progress on the right side of the Tac-Map while deployed.

Before leaving, check whether a task says print, loot, extract, kill while inside, or complete in one deployment. Those words change what counts. Owning a Medkit is not the same action as printing one, and picking up an ingredient is not the same as extracting it.

Follow the chapter choices

Choose a Chapter interface showing Human Intel, Underground and Counterfeit

The documented launch track starts with Gear Up, Crackshot and First Op. You then choose among Human Intel, Counterfeit and Underground. Each has two pages and ends with a Story Mission. You play all three chapters; the choice changes their sequence.

After page 11, the next choice is between The Grid and Hornet's Nest. Their chapter names are more reliable identifiers than a number because the chosen order can differ.

The following tables summarize the tasks and rewards recorded in COD Central's launch Orders register. Cash is listed there as $20,000 per completed page, with the additional rewards below. That is the page reward, not a guarantee about loot or cash earned during the deployment.

Use the live task counter for No Time: COD Central notes a mismatch between a displayed counter and the author's completed run. Do not build a route around a promised one-run bypass.

The last row is called page 21 in COD Central's register, but the author reports a terminal numbering glitch. Use Hard Carry, Stalking the Stalker and Operation Fallen Ember to recognize it. This is a documented launch index, not a claim that no more Orders can be added.

Prepare recipes and mission unlocks

Some page rewards are needed soon afterward. The Flash recipe supports Blindness, the Recon Drone recipe supports Eyes Everywhere, and Underground's DDOS and Decoy Grenade recipes support its next page. Finish the reward page, then check the relevant category at the 3D Printer.

Operation Silent Ledger unlocks the paid Polaris infil used by Navigate With Care. Finishing a Story Mission earlier can already satisfy its later completion Order; check the tick before replaying a long chain unnecessarily.

For Friendly Face, use Request Truce on the Ping Wheel. For No One Left, clear progress is only the first check: you still need to loot Medical Extraction Intel.

Apply the latest relevant fixes

The October 30 patch fixes a specific Information Power blocker: players could sometimes be unable to purchase Intel from the Boss Board. That is separate from the October 23 fix for some purchased Lieutenant intel not updating a tracked Order.

The same October 30 entry increases Dynamic Ops to 10,000–20,000 Cash, Side Ops to 2,000, and completed Mission Steps to 500 per step. These activity payouts are separate from the Orders page rewards listed above. For Payment Due, follow the actual earnings counter; the payout range does not promise that every Dynamic Op completes its $11,500 requirement in one run.

For Dynamic Ops encountered during an Orders run, the patch also fixes the required item missing from Broken Resupply's marked vehicle trunk, plus Hunt Operator's missing timer and incorrect marker text. Those fixes apply to the named symptoms, not every mission-item or progress problem.

The October 29 patch fixed inconsistent Encrypted Voice Logs spawning for Ears Everywhere and a missing Lieutenant Tower interaction prompt. The October 28 update also fixed some Order mission-item ping markers disappearing after a loot-container ping.

If a task appears stuck, confirm its wording and current counter, then compare against these specific fixes. A known fix for one item is not proof that every Order or old UI mismatch is resolved.
