Inside Look at the Factory Wing of the Koschei Bunker

Alright first let‘s quickly cover what exactly the factory wing is. One of the four main wings of the Koschei bunker, this area is located in the north section, beyond the central chemical room.

The layout consists of a two-level chamber filled with industrial machinery, assembly lines, catwalks, freight containers, and offices. It‘s very dimly lit, so I highly recommend rolling with NVGs to see what‘s lurking in the shadows.

Now why go through all this trouble to access the factory wing? Two words my friend: loot explosions!

This wing has some of the highest tier loot in all of DMZ, especially rare weapon blueprints, armor, and killstreaks. Based on player data tracking, here are the drop rates for top contraband:

Loot Item – Drop Rate
Legendary Weapon Blueprint – 18%
Legendary Armor Vest – 12%
UAV/Cluster Strike Killstreaks – 8%
Supply Box (additional loot) – 62%

As you can see, hitting this jackpot can seriously juice up your loadout and battle readiness. But securing the area won‘t be easy, so let‘s get into the steps for breaching the wing.

Securing the Coveted Factory Admin Keycard

The only way to enter the factory wing is to obtain the factory admin keycard, which unlocks the sealed yellow security door. This keycard randomly spawns in one of the small tunnels branching off the central chemical room.

There are typically 4 tunnel spawns to check, each filled with toxic barrels and supply crates. Be methodical and clear each tunnel carefully while watching for enemies. The keycard emits a bright blue glow so it‘s easy to spot.

One strategy is to have squad members sweep different tunnels simultaneously to cover ground quicker. Just be wary of enemy teams who may be hunting the keycard as well.

Here are the exact tunnel locations to check, marked on this map:

The keycard spawns twice per match so if someone beats you to the first one, rotate to find the second. With multiple team members searching, you should be able to secure a card within 2-3 lobby spawns tops.

Optimal Loadouts for Navigating the Bunker

When fighting through the Koschei bunker to reach the factory wing, I always roll with a suppressed MP5 SMG and a SOCOM M4 Marksman Rifle. This gives me versatility for close and longer range engagements.

For equipment, Smoke Grenades are clutch for screening advances between cover. Proximity Mines help lock down flank routes and entrances behind you.

Here‘s a breakdown of my go-to bunker loadout:

The MP5 is great for quickly shredding enemies in tight spaces like tunnels and door breaches. The SOCOM M4 allows precision outside 25 meters when crossing open areas.

I‘d also recommend at least one squadmate brings a shotgun like the Expedite 12 to really dominate those close quarters.

Clearing the Factory Wing Room-by-Room

Now for the meat and potatoes – securing that sweet factory wing loot! Once you unlock the security door with the admin keycard, you‘ll enter an office area with a mounted turret. Use EMPs to disable this turret from afar, or snipe/rocket the operator behind it.

From the entry office, you‘ll hit the main factory floor. My advice is to clear methodically from the top down. Hit the catwalks first to take the high ground, then drop down to clear the lower sections.

Use Suppressors and move between cover stealthily to maintain the element of surprise. The dim lighting hides movement well, so engage enemies at close range before they detect you.

Here‘s the ideal room clearing order I use, along with map callouts:

  1. Catwalk Skylight – Breach the windows and target enemies on the opposite catwalk

  2. Assembly Line Overlook – Check behind freight containers and craft armor plates

  3. Rear Office Balcony – Toss flashbangs before breaching and sweeping the interior

  4. Central Production Floor – Clear the machine lines while checking Supply Boxes

  5. Lower Storage Area – Watch out for traps around loot crates and weapon lockers

  6. Admin Wing – Final area to sweep, be ready for ambushes

Take it slowly using Suppressor fire and Snapshot Grenades to gain intel before advancing. With a coordinated squad, you can split up to cover more ground but always be ready to collapse back into a defensive formation.

The area is a maze so refer constantly to your map and compass to maintain orientation. Clearing the wing fully can take 15+ minutes if you‘re being meticulous. Exercise patience and the payday will come!

Expert Tips from DMZ Pros for Surviving the Factory Run

To help you master the factory wing, I reached out to some elite players with 50+ DMZ wins under their belts. Here are pro tips summarized from their insights:

  • Use Piercing Vision to detect enemies through walls – critical for navigating the complex
  • Always run Bomb Squad to spot mines/claymores since traps are very common
  • Equip Cold Blooded to stay undetected from AI enemies and turrets
  • Soundwhore constantly to hear enemy movements in the echoey complex
  • Toss empty magazines to bait enemies into exposing their position
  • Don‘t sprint excessively or you‘ll easily get ambushed around corners
  • Cycle between checking map and watching flanks – know your 360 at all times
  • Have a Plan B exit strategy if you get pinned down while looting

These pros all emphasized moving slowly and deliberately, listening for audio cues of danger, and staying alert to threats from all angles. With good positioning and plenty of intel gathering, you‘ll wipe squads and secure major rewards.

Putting It All Together

There you have it friend – everything you need absolutely crush it in the factory wing! Follow my key steps:

  • Gear up with CQB and medium-long range weaponry
  • Clear the chemical room tunnels to secure the admin keycard
  • Check your corners and use cover when navigating to the wing
  • Sweep the area room-by-room using suppressors and snapshots
  • Extract once looted up for a major DMZ payday!

Stick with this guide and the coveted DMZ factory wing loot will be yours. Now get out there, operative! Survive, loot, and battle with skill and you‘ll escape with legendary blueprints and gear.

I‘m always happy to squad up, so hit me up if you ever need a DMZ partner. Let‘s duo it up and reallytear through some legendary runs! Stay frosty out there and GG!
