If you want to go for the Chemist to get his M13B, prepare first

[dkid00]

Just now I was playing a trio with randoms, and none of us had 3 plates vest (I had 2 plates, others have 1 plate), and we spawned by the Airport, the the Chemist was just west of us. My team mates pinged the Chemist right away, didn't loot or anything, running across the airport (one mate was downed by the AI, but we helped them up). In chat I told them we should get better loot and prepare if we really wanted to go for it, but they just went in. I went in with them, but kept my distance, as I knew things would soon go really bad. Lo and behold, my two mates get downed, I stick to cover and listen as they furiously pink the location at their feet. I knew there was no way we could recover, so I just left them behind.

I know people want the weapon, but at the very least do it some preparation, and stick to cover as you move inside the zone. Enemies can pop out from anywhere and they don't have any visibility penalty, as opposed to you. Not to mention the Chemist is really tanky, so plate up (3 plates vest; bring plates to restore your armor), bring revives, grenades, and an LMG to rain lead on them. Otherwise, don't waste your time.

yeap Im with you on that. Im sick of joining randoms with zero comms and zero plates rushing to objectives where they will 100% die.

You don't really need much preperation for the chemist, he isn't that strong.
Maybe some more ammo, since there are a lot of enemies to be taken out usually and if you are solo you might run out.
All you have to do is pick the right fights against the AI in the zone.
Meaning don't rush in and try to 1vEverything at the same time.

People rushing in blindly is the problem, but that goes for any content they rush in, they think it is some kind of single player environment where they can just 1v1000.
If you get such mates, just let them die, it is not worth risking anything to keep a burden alive longer than necessary.

It is about 90% of the random players that just run in and die. No looting, no preparing, no team work, just run and die. They are the ones that first thing, have not completed the first few missions. Want to just run in to get the M13B.

It gets real tiring dealing with them. Try talking to them, but it does not help. You can keep telling them do not run in there you will die, they still do it. There is no reasoning with them.

When they do talk, it is obvious that they are 8-12 years old. Yet this is supposedly an 18+ game.

IF they some how manage to survive a little while, the other players team's will kill them all off. They have no chance of making it through a successful exfil.

90% of the missions I have completed have been completed solo. it is impossible to complete missions with the death runners.

They really need to provide a Solo server, and perhaps a PVE server that would be a good training ground. Make it so they have to complete missions in the PVE server which would train them on how to work together & prepare. Before they can get on the PVP server.

It's free to play and also CoD, your teammates are often more dangerous than enemies. Even more so with randoms. My advice to you would not to vent here but change your approach with these scumlords. I now exfil or leave these people to their fate. Just let them walk into their own demise and continue your journey solo.

I'm not going to stick around or follow trash players around like a lost puppy.

It gets even better when they are screaming at you on comms as you leave their dead bodies in the dust.

I go out of my way to resurrect quality players. Don't care if I die in the process but I am not gonna break my back trying to rescue an irrational player.

It's easier to do (and I've done it solo) if you use a sniper rifle, spotter scope and munitions box cause you will end up running out of ammo.

Sniping the guards in almost every heavily guarded area is the best way to go. Try telling that to the death runners, they will still run in there and die. Then want you to go in and get killed trying to save them. Interesting that they never communicated or listened prior to getting killed.

Makes me laugh every time!

I've changed my mind. The PvP situation in DMZ is bonkers. I think there should be two modes in DMZ, one for PvE, another for PvP, and each mode would have different objectives and rewards, and you would use the same character(s) loot between modes. In PvP, players would do missions for loot, and kill other players for their loot or objectives. In PvE, players would complete objectives against AI enemies, and team up with other players to beat higher difficulty objectives like high-level strongholds.
