    Hitting the spot in the DZ

    You wanna know what would hit the spot? Dynamic events in the DZ. Now listen.

    Contaminated Extraction

    Every X minutes (similar to DZ drops) a contaminated item (not loot) is dropped within the DZ. (could be the suitcase like in single player missions also) SHD agents must collect and extract the item while fighting off any rogues trying to stop them. The even last X minutes, SHD agents win rewards if extracted, rogues win rewards if they prevent SHD from extracting in the event given time. (Only SHD agents can pick up the contaminated item.)

    Alternatively both rogues and SHD agents fight to extract to contaminated loot. Putting rogues and SHD up against eachother to extract the item.

    VIP Extraction

    Every X minutes a VIP would spawn in a random location (presumed lost or trapped in the DZ who need SHD help) within the DZ and SHD agents must extract them (Similar to the President extract in the single player mission.) Rogues must kill the VIP or prevent SHD agents from extracting the VIP within X minutes. (Only a single SHD agent can "Lead" the VIP. Similar to the mechanics in Ghost Recon Breakpoint.)

    Bounties

    Similar to bounties in the open world. SHD agents can activate a bounty on a (AI) rogue agent within the DZ. When this event is activated [Bounty can be activated a a SHD terminal] SHD agents must kill the rogue agent and other player rogues must fight against SHD players and protect the rogue agent. This event ends if the (AI) rogue is killed or if the rogue isn't killed within the time limit.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Events like this would spice up the dynamic of the DZ. Pitting rogues and SHD players against each other. While also building the ambiguity of fellow SHD agents turning rogue at any point during these events. Seeing events like this introduced in the DZ would really bake some cake.


    P.S a single Dark Zone implemented in WONY (with these additions) would also hit said spot.

    What do you fellers think?

    I agree that some sort of event is needed. The contaminated events popping up in Div1 made the DZ feel active. Right now its just a bunch of running after coward manhunts or running to new landmarks.

    You'd need balanced teams. You're talking about a game mode. It wouldn't work if everybody or nobody was rogue.

    I'd love to see bounties on specific players. I mean real players. Similar to manhunt but it doesn't clear until the bounty is claimed. I mean, you log off with a price on your head and even if you wait a week, you log on with a price on your head. Even if you aren't rogue. lol

    Maybe a player gets a bounty put on them every 100th agent they kill. The player with the bounty gets a cache for every hour of game play with the bounty on their head. Players could obviously opt out of the bounty system.

    100%. We don't even go in through DZ anymore. I'm tired of getting shot through walls, seeing invincible armor, having them never miss a shot, etc....it seems 90% of who's left in the DZ are just cheaters, and the ones who are still legit are expert chicken dancers. It's just a miserable experience overall.

    I've seen it written and used. Hold one key to chicken dance and aiming with the mouse changes the direction of the dance. It's actually a pretty simple macro as macros go. Like A shift S shift D shift with very short gaps and run times.

    Since they've given up on the dark Zone, I think it's time to just convert them into PVE incursions and be done with it. They can try again in division 3.
