How to Complete the Health Conscious Mission in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 DMZ - An In-Depth Survival Guide

Hey friend! If you‘re new to DMZ in Warzone 2, one of the best missions to take on early is Health Conscious. This survival guide will walk you step-by-step through completing the objectives while avoiding danger in Al Mazrah.

I‘ve got the expert strats to help you loot medicine cabinets, bandages, and IFAKs so you can extract like a pro. Let‘s get into it!

Overview – What is the Health Conscious Mission?

Health Conscious focuses on securing medical supplies from around Al Mazrah. Here are the specifics you need to extract:

1 Medicine Cabinet
2 Bandages
1 IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit)

As a fellow DMZ enthusiast, I know looting these items can be tricky if you don‘t know where to look in the huge map. But that‘s what I‘m here for!

In this guide, I‘ll break down prime spots to find medicine cabinets, the best bandage loot locations, and where to grab an IFAK. I‘ve got pro tips for staying alive and extracting safely too.

Completing Health Conscious will earn you XP for leveling up. But you can also get sweet rewards like rare weapon blueprints, keycards, and more! Let‘s get looting.

Scouting Medicine Cabinet Locations

Medicine cabinets are most often found in bathrooms inside buildings around Al Mazrah. After tons of time exploring the map, here are the prime spots I recommend you check:

Hospitals

The ground floor hospital east of Al Sharim Pass has a jackpot of bathrooms along the corridors. Each one can contain a cabinet stuffed with medical loot!
Make sure to check the bathrooms on every floor of the hospital. The higher floors are less looted early in a match.

Office Buildings

Check the bathrooms on each floor, especially around receptionist areas.
The central business district of Al Mazrah City has no shortage of offices to raid for cabinets.

Houses

Residential homes often have medicine cabinets in bathrooms. The Housing Village south of the Train Station has tons of houses clustered together.

Schools & University

Classroom buildings and dorm rooms have plenty of bathrooms to check. Don‘t forget the locker room showers in the gym!

Pharmacies

An obvious spot, but still worth checking. The cabinets can spawn bonus loot.

Medical Camps

Temporary outdoor medical stations have portable bathrooms as well. Quick to check but can pay off.

I‘d recommend starting at the hospital east of Al Sharim Pass first since it has by far the highest density of medicine cabinets to loot. If you come up empty, the office building bathrooms are great backups with less early traffic.

As you can see, there are solid options all over Al Mazrah. Being methodical in checking every bathroom cabinet you pass will eventually pay dividends!

Smart Bandage Looting Strategies

Bandages are common lower tier medical items you‘ll find all over:

Inside first aid kits on walls, cabinets, shelves etc.
Loose spawns on tables, counters, stretchers.
Medical camps have them on carts, stretchers, and bags.
Behind pharmacy counters and on display shelves.
Offices often have them in reception desks and break rooms.
Houses spawn them in kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms.

Here are some of my top tips for grabbing your 2 bandages efficiently:

Prioritize hospitals, medical camps, and pharmacies first. That‘s where they spawn most often.
Check first aid kits systematically without skipping. Bandages are easy to miss inside.
Grab any you see while looting, don‘t wait to find 2 together. Extracting any 2 completes the objective.
Residential buildings have reliable loose bandage spawns once hospitals are looted.
Supply drops contain high tier medical loot including bandages. Mark them on your tac map.
Play in a squad so you can share bandages easily if one player lacks them.

Again, the hospital east of Al Sharim Pass should be your starter location. The ground floor has multiple first aid kits along the main corridors that commonly contain bandages.

If you‘re thorough, extracting 2 bandages shouldn‘t take long. Now let‘s talk securing the crucial IFAK.

Where to Locate IFAKs

IFAKs are more premium Individual First Aid Kits with improved healing items. Here are the best places to find them:

First aid kits in hospitals and medical buildings. Check every kit!
Loose spawns in offices, houses, supply drops.
Enemy military locations like field camps and weapon caches.
Inside bags and on tables at medical camps.
Rare chance when eliminating AI combatants.

The red IFAK pouch makes them easy to identify. I recommend holding onto any you find until extracting one for the mission goal.

Here are some stats on IFAK spawn rates I‘ve recorded in DMZ:

Location	Avg. # of IFAKs
Hospital	3-5
Medical Camp	1-3
Office Building	1-2
Residential House	0-1
Supply Drop	1-3

As you can see, hitting the hospital and medical camps should be your top priority for securing an IFAK efficiently. Don‘t worry if you don‘t see one right away, keep looting systematically.

Oh, and watch out for enemy squads who will also be looking for medical loot. Make sure you‘re ready to defend yourself.

Extracting Safely in DMZ with Mission Loot

You got the goods – nice work! Now here are my pro tips for getting your loot out safely:

Avoid combat when carrying objective items. Your survival is the priority.
Use a UAV or activation intel before extracting to reveal nearby threats.
Keep high ground where possible to spot ambushes or enemies.
Equip both a lethal and non-lethal weapon for self defense flexibility.
Know your extraction options and pick the nearest viable one.
Exercise extreme caution when approaching the exfil zone.
Play in a squad for additional firepower and security.
Drop distractions like smoke grenades if you need to escape quickly.
Don‘t panic or freeze if engaged by enemies, reposition and return fire. You can do this!

The most dangerous moments in DMZ are when you‘re loaded with loot ready for exfil. But you‘re almost home free. Patience and preparation will get you and your haul out in one piece.

Randomized Rewards for Completing Health Conscious

Along with XP, completing Health Conscious has a chance to earn you these sweet bonuses:

Weapon Blueprints – extracting the objective items has a random chance to grant you new weapon plans. I‘ve earned rare blueprints like the BAS-P SMG and M13B assault rifle this way!
Keycards – these cards unlock access to more lucrative areas. Green and blue keycards open hidden weapon caches.
Cash – always handy for buying loadout items like killstreaks at buy stations.

The rewards are randomly generated, but carrying medical supplies out regularly can earn you serious loot. I love grabbing new blueprints and keycards while also stockpiling health items.

Comparison to Other Intro DMZ Missions

Alongside Health Conscious, some other starter missions are:

Muddy Waters – Locate specific key items to infiltrate enemy camps. More focused on combat than looting.
Train Tracks – Seek out dead drops along the train rail lines. Provides overwatch on the map.
Weapons Case – Chance to earn large weapon case for extracting 3 weapons cases. High risk in the Sattiq Caves.

Each mission teaches you different playstyles and areas of the map. I‘d recommend a mix of loot-focused ones like Health Conscious and combat-heavy ones like Muddy Waters early on.

The Importance of Medical Loot in DMZ Survival

Searching for and securing first aid ultimately trains you for surviving out in the dangers of the exclusion zone. Bandages and medkits are literal lifesavers!

Learning where to efficiently locate cabinets, first aid kits, bandages and IFAKs will serve you extremely well in DMZ. Consider it an essential education every operator should get.

The medical loot skills you gain also prepare you for tougher missions in Al Mazrah and the new Ashika Island expansion. Not to mention building your stockpile of health items for future matches!
