Items

Synthetics is one of the four Resources. Five of the six starter recipes use it. Only the Medkit does not.

Electronics is one of the four Resources. The guides name it with the others but none of the six starter recipes uses it.

Chemicals is one of the four Resources. Both starter medical recipes use it.

Metals is one of the four Resources. Do not mix it up with Reactive Metals, which is a 3D Printer Ingredient.

Binding Catalyst is the Rare ingredient in the Medkit recipe.

Pin it in the 3D Printer to track it. A tracked ingredient shows a pin icon when you loot it.

Biomaterials is an Uncommon ingredient. The Medkit recipe needs five of them.

Reactive Metals is not the same thing as Metals. Metals is a Resource that breaks down from loot. Reactive Metals is a loot ingredient you carry out whole.

Rigid Synthetics is a loot ingredient. A printer upgrade also lets you print it.

After that upgrade the printer can make Uncommon or Epic components. Alloyed Plating is another one.

The FOB guide lists Detonators and Control Units as ingredient examples, beside Binding Catalyst and Biomaterials. It shows no recipe that uses them.

The FOB guide lists Alloyed Plating beside Rigid Synthetics as a component the upgraded printer can make. It does not say what Alloyed Plating is used for.

The FOB guide only mentions Self-Revive Kits as a Loadout slot. It does not say where you get one.

If you fail to exfil, you lose everything that is not in a Secure Slot.

Some Backpacks also have slots for extra weapons.

The Armor slot is always empty before a deployment, so there is nothing to pack. Your plates arrive when you infil.

A Field Upgrade that brings extra Armor Plates into a deployment.

Headgear for gas. The Haneul Nuclear Reactor needs one.

Neither guide explains Radiation Gear. For the Haneul Nuclear Reactor, the Hajin guide asks for protective clothing against radiation, plus a gas mask.

Night vision for dark interiors such as the casino and the mall tunnels.

Has its own Loadout slot. Fire Stations are one place to look.

Owners of the MW4 Vault Edition get a special Deployment Kit.

The guides do not explain the Weapon Insurance Contract or the Operator Rescue Beacon. They also do not say how the Fulton Drop Marker differs from the Fulton balloon exit.

A kit of medical gear.

A kit of protective items.

A kit of equipment.

A kit for high-risk recoveries.

Most 3D Printer items need a Recipe, and most are locked at the start. Unlocking new ones is the main goal of the printer.

You need a Weapon Manual to unlock more weapons to build in the Gunsmith. Buying the gun itself costs DMZ Cash.

In the Gone to the Dogs story, a Weapon Manual sits in a waterproof case in a locked room under NuriGO Mall. That is fiction, not a rule.

You can buy back any Blueprint you own at a discount. That is cheaper than building the same weapon again.

A melee Blueprint, like the Sombra Besada Combat Knife, fits in the Melee slot.

Valuables show in your After Action Report with your other items and ingredients. The guides give no prices.

Use any Key you find to open a special loot room.

The Gone to the Dogs story shows a Key from the Warden opening a sealed room under NuriGO Mall. The prize in the story is a Plate Carrier Recipe, a Weapon Manual and rare components. This is fiction, not a rule.

The Dog Tag level is separate from your overall DMZ level. An Operator is fully leveled at Onyx III with 18 Trait Points, which is when you can Prestige them.

Always dropped by a Lieutenant. Extract with it to progress the Boss Board.

The guides say Operator-carried Gas Cans can be refilled at both kinds of station. They do not say what a full can does.

Start Dynamic Ops early: each drop in a deployment beats the last.

The FOB guide mentions the tokens on one of its station cards. It does not say how long they last or where they come from.
