    What happens if you donīt finish the "Dark Zone recon" mission?

    I did play game during both closed and open beta, but i never bothered to go to DZ. Was busy enough doing "LZ" stuff and i did not play that often to even finish all the stuff in "LZ" side. Have not bought the second game yet. But Iīm thinking, that according to devs, your very first adventure to DZ is suppose to be a PvE only experience. You know that very first "recon" mission you suppose to do. But what if you simply ignore it and explore the place without finishing it? I suppose there are no landmarks and no supply drops before you finis it, right? Just an empty place with few random NPCs, if even that? My question is off course: What happens if you never really finish that mission?

    You need to begin the recon mission in order to actually get into any of the Dark Zone areas.

    Then you will never be put into a pvp session.

    I was curious about the same thing. Good to know I can avoid that since I have no desire for PvP as long as its not required for something else.

    If you never finish the mission, you will be able to loot all the boxes with almost no NPC interaction at all and absolutely no PVP interaction.

    You can take other players into your instance to join you, too, and they can also get free loot.

    You can't access the big boxes, but all the normal loot chests are there for the taking. Refilling every 24 hours. It's a tedious way to get loot, though.

    I was farming the DZ landmarks before ever doing that mission so they are available.

    Decent enough loot and nobody to gank you either.

    But the loot was any different than outside of the DZ so I didn't see the point other than to see what it would be like.

    Did the mission finally with a guildy who also needed it done but I haven't been back since and I haven't bothered unlocking the other ones since I don't pvp.

    True

    Hence why I haven't even done it yet,

    I have no desire to go or be in the Dark Zone/s or any area that has P v P so I have no need to unlock it. I'm currently at World Tier 3 and the DZ's are still locked and will forever be.
