In every DMZ Beta map, nearby infil points were part of the challenge: you often had to deal with another squad rushing you right after the drop.

Who remembers the Al Mazrah bug where two squads would spawn right next to each other on the boat in Sawah Village? LOL

For Hajin, I'd like infil points to be spread out as evenly as possible, keeping every squad as far from the others as the map allows.

Assumptions

• Up to 20 squads (60 players), all spawning at the same time, as the team confirmed in the AMA.
• Everyone infils on foot, like in the DMZ Beta. Vehicle, helicopter and cargo plane infils are ignored.
• Only the gray playable area counts. Water and the orange out-of-bounds zone are excluded, with a small safety margin from the shoreline.
• Distances are straight lines. They ignore terrain, elevation and river crossings.

Method: the points spread out to cover the area evenly, and the layout with the largest minimum distance between neighbors was kept.

Result: every infil is between 13.1 u and 15.6 u from its nearest neighbor (average 14.0 u). The lines on the map connect each infil to its nearest one.

Curious to hear how close this gets to the real spawns once Early Access drops.

After reading both official DMZ Deep Dive articles and AMA, there are a few things we need to understand about how extraction works when playing in a squad.

Does extracting with the following items count for the entire squad or only for the player carrying them?

• Weapon Manuals: If one player extracts with a Weapon Manual and unlocks the ability to permanently purchase that weapon in the Gunsmith, do the other squad members unlock it too?
• Items required for future missions: If one player extracts with a specific item that needs to be kept for a later mission, does that item or its progress count for the rest of the squad as well?
• Other items required for unlocks or rewards: If a player extracts with a Recipe or another item that permanently unlocks something at the FOB, such as a new crafting option, does that unlock apply to the entire squad or only to the player who extracted with it?

In the previous DMZ beta, this was particularly relevant for the Serpentine camo quest and missions that required collecting and extracting specific items across different maps. If one squadmate managed to extract with a required item, would the rest of the squad get credit for it too, or would each player need to extract with their own?

This could make a big difference when playing with randoms. If we're all working toward different unlocks or the same mission progression, it would be useful to know whether one player's successful extraction can benefit everyone or whether each player needs to find and extract with the required items themselves.

Hopefully, they’ll answer this one too after the AMA. ping u/InfinityWard
