How to Complete the Smuggling Tunels Mission in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 DMZ

Hey there! Season 2 of Warzone 2 introduced an exciting new mission called Smuggling Tunnels. This in-depth guide will teach you everything you need to know to complete it. I‘ve got you covered on where to find the tunnel entrances, how to set up the surveillance cameras, tips to succeed, and what sweet rewards you‘ll unlock for finishing the job. Time to gear up and learn the secrets of the smuggling tunnels!

Introduction to the Mysterious Smuggling Tunnels

Before we dive in, let‘s recap what DMZ mode is all about. DMZ is an open-world extract mode where you take on missions, loot for weapons and gear, engage enemy factions, and look to ultimately exfiltrate out by helicopter.

The Smuggling Tunnels are a new addition in Season 2 located on the maps of Al Mazrah and the new Ashika Island expansion. Very little is known about these tunnels, but intelligence suggests they are being used for illicit trafficking and movement of forces and supplies.

That‘s why the White Lotus faction has tasked you with dropping surveillance cameras at two tunnel entrances, so their activity can be monitored. This is no easy task though, as the tunnels are likely guarded by dangerous enemies.

Completing the mission will earn you new contraband items, faction standing, and bring you steps closer to unlocking exclusive new blueprints. But first you‘ll need to find those tunnels…

Step 1 – Locating Both Tunnel Entrances

The smuggling tunnel entrances are cleverly hidden around the northern part of the map. I‘ll provide specific coordinates and descriptions so you know exactly where to look:

Tunnel Entrance 1

Location: Coordinate E3
North of the Zarqwa Hydroelectric dam
Dug into a hillside amidst some trees

Tunnel Entrance 2

Just northeast of Entrance 1
At the top of a hill
Near an abandoned shack and some fuel tanks

Here are maps with the exact locations marked:

Ideally, coordinate with your teammate to scout out both entrances quickly and safely. Move from cover to cover and watch out for patrolling enemies.

Step 2 – Placing the Surveillance Cameras

Once you‘ve located the two smuggling tunnel entrances, it‘s go time. You‘ll need to carefully place a camera inside each one.

The optimal placement is high up on the cave walls facing down into the tunnel. This gives a wide view while keeping it out of immediate sight.
The surveillance cameras have a range of about 50 feet, so position them accordingly to maximize coverage.
Assign which teammate will place a camera in each entrance. Communicate when they are set to move on.

Here‘s an example of effective camera placement:

Get those cameras set up simultaneously so you can complete the mission ASAP and get to extracting!

Gear and Tips for Success

Completing the Smuggling Tunnels mission isn‘t easy. Here is the ideal loadout and some key tips to get the job done right:

Dealing with Enemy Forces

You can expect moderate resistance guarding the smuggling tunnels. Here‘s how to counter the enemies you might encounter:

Foot Soldiers: The basic infantry units. Headshots for quick kills or use suppressive fire.

Snipers: Spot the laser sights. Flank or flashbang them then rush.

Riot Shields: Thermites and frag grenades are very effective, aim for feet.

Juggernauts: Keep your distance, go for headshots when they raise cannon. Use lethals.

Vehicles: Equip thermite or C4 explosives to take out trucks, helicopters.

Stick to cover, reposition frequently, and take them out before setting cameras.

Mission Rewards and Unlocks

So what exactly will you earn for completing this challenging mission? Here are the rewards:

Faction Standing: Increased White Lotus reputation
Contraband Items: Assorted weapons, variants, and cosmetic blueprints
Intel: More backstory on the tunnels revealed

Notable unlocks include:

These are just a taste of the high tier loot you can get! It will help you build your arsenal and drip.

Extracting From the Mission

Once the cameras are placed at both tunnel entrances, it‘s time to reap your rewards! Mark the closest extraction point – there are 3 viable exfils nearby – and safely make your way there.

If you still have time in the match, consider completing another quick faction mission before extracting for bonus loot. Otherwise, exfiltrate immediately and see what sweet contraband is in your post-game inventory!

Tips for DMZ Beginners

For those just starting out in DMZ, here are some key tips:

Study the maps and learn loot locations, objectives, extraction sites
Build up your overall profile level to unlock better starting loadouts
Complete missions across all factions to earn the best blueprints
Manage your contraband inventory outside of matches
Use your mic to communicate enemy locations with squadmates
Bring armor plates and UAVs to improve survivability
Play cautiously and tactically at first while learning

It takes time to master all that DMZ has to offer. But stick with it, and you‘ll be extracting like a pro!
