Guide to Successfully Finish “The Old Place” Mission in DMZ

DMZ

In each DMZ season, you’ll be busy completing faction missions to collect lots of loot and experience points. Season five brought in the Shadow Company with new missions. Some of these tasks are harder than others, and they need you to go to distant places that you can only reach in specific ways.

One of these difficult missions is called “The Old Place.” It’s a tier three mission and takes you to a very challenging location in the game. I tried doing this mission alone, and let me tell you, it would have been much easier if I had a group of friends with me.

Now, let me explain how you can finish “The Old Place” faction mission in DMZ season five.

Guide to Successfully Finishing the “The Old Place” Mission in DMZ

This tier two Shadow Company mission has two steps, and you can do it when you’re at reputation level five with the faction.

Step 1: Defeat eight Konni soldiers in Building 21.
Step 2: Retrieve the extraction protocol from Building 21.

To do this mission, you must get an Access Card to enter Building 21. But remember, you can only go there on weekends because it’s closed at other times. It’s not a good idea to do this mission by yourself. Building 21 is really tough, with strong computer-controlled enemies and many other players trying to get loot and complete their missions too.

Defeat the Konni Soldiers Inside Building 21

After getting your team ready and equipping yourself for the upcoming battle, it’s time to go. Enter Building 21 and quickly make your way to the parking garage on the lower floor. You can find staircases that lead down, so head straight to the basement.

Be cautious about where you shoot at the beginning. Shadow Company AI will be with you, providing cover, but other AI that shoots back will be from Konni. As you move towards or when you’re at the garage, defeat some AI enemies to complete the first step of your mission.

Locate and Safely Leave with the Extraction Protocol

Step two is about getting the extraction protocol. Some players have said that the document can drop randomly from enemies. However, I followed the method from the last season’s Labs Investigation mission. I knew that in the generator room, the document was on the ground.

When the doors were opened (after I fought through a bunch of enemies), I quickly went into the generator room and picked up the extraction protocol from the ground. Then I went to the other side of the room to leave. Meet up with your team again and go back up the stairs to the elevator to exit.

Important: The doors to the generator room aren’t open right away, so you’ll have to wait a couple of minutes in the game. This likely means you’ll run into enemy groups. Additionally, AI enemies will keep appearing downstairs and in the garage. So, after getting the protocol, don’t spend too much time going up the stairs to leave.

After you leave, you (and your whole team) will finish the mission. You’ll get a good reward for your hard work – a Skeleton Key with two uses and a good amount of experience points.
