    Dark Zone Recon Missions Glitched

    The three dark zone recon missions are glitched out.

    The mission for east dark zone canceled itself when I entered the DZ for the first time. Had to transport back to a safe house and reenter the DZ to complete the mission.

    The mission for the south DZ canceled when I dropped down past the "point of no return" and the door at the other end of the tunnel wouldn't open. On top of that, the tunnel is considered DZ area and you can't fast travel out so I became trapped and had to log out in order to escape. Worked the third time I tried it.

    The western DZ is supposed to drop some sort of support to blow open the gate as part of the mission, but as I approach the gate, thr mission cancels and I can progress no further.

    Hey Archer,

    Sorry to hear you've had a rough time getting these missions to complete. Were you able to complete the Western DZ mission in the end or are you still experiencing this?

    If so, can you get some footage of the mission to show what happens when you are no longer able to progress so we can take a look?

    Just want to add in here: My Dark Zone East recon mission glitched out as well. It shows up on the map, it made me kill the two guys at the front gate to open the dark zone but when I enter the dark zone the game just shows the progress I had during the open beta and doesn't allow me to do the recon mission.

    So weird... I just completed recon on DZ East and DZ South in the same session with no glitch at all

    I haven't tried the western DZ recon mission again yet, but the night I was I tried through several sessions of restarting the game and even my xbox with no fix. It always failed to progress at the same spot, the fixed gate along the entrance tunnel.

    I did redo the DZ south recon mission with a couple friends and we ended up having a really weird glitch when trying to leave the DZ where the gate wouldn't open and the mission acted like it had started over from the beginning. I had to restart the game, but once I left the session my friends were able to fast travel out. They did however end up having the DZ normalized stats in the normal game for about 15 minutes which was a bit game-breaking in their favor.

    I can retry the DZ West Recon mission again tomorrow and if it still fails I will try to record.

    Tried to do the DZ West mission again last night. Got the same glitch where I can't progress the mission past the sealed gate.

    After restarting the game and then my xbox and still running into the same issue, I recorded this clip. I am essentially unable to access DZ West at this point.

    I watched your video. Have you tried doing it solo? Because you're playing with two friends that have a DZ mismatch. Maybe that's not the problem, but for sure it adds to the possible causes of the problem

    Hey ArcherIXI,

    Can you try doing this solo and let us know if you get through?

    Cheers.
