MW4 DMZ level unlocks: every reward from level 1 to 70

The short version

Level 2 opens the 3D Printer and your first six recipes: armour vests, backpacks, bandages and medkits. Level 5 opens the Vendor. Level 10 opens the Gunsmith. Level 20 opens the Dog Tag Case. Printer categories unlock in steps: Tacticals at 4, Lethals at 7, Field Upgrades at 12, Fire Support at 28. Stash space: +18 item slots at 22, 45 and 70; +6 weapon slots at 35 and 60. Bounty payout: +10% at 30, +50% at 50, +100% at 70. Operator skins: Reece (4), Coffey (9), Simone (15), Hector (19). An extra operator slot comes at 15. Level 70 caps it with +18 stash slots, the 100% bounty payout and the Advanced SERE Kit.

What to chase first

Get to level 2 in your first raid or two. Until the 3D Printer is open, every vest and backpack you lose costs cash. From level 2 you can print 1-Plate and 2-Plate vests, both backpack sizes, bandages and medkits from ingredients you haul out. Levels 4 to 12 build the printer out. Tacticals (4), Lethals (7) and Field Upgrades (12) each open a new printer category, and each comes with starter recipes. By level 12 you can print smokes, frags, an Ammo Box and a Spotter Scope. Level 10 changes how you lose guns. The Gunsmith sells weapons for any Weapon Manual you own and modifies them with the attachments you've unlocked. Losing a build stops being a full reset once it's open. Level 20 makes PvP pay. The Dog Tag Case stores the enemy operator tags you extract, and you expand it through 3D Printer Upgrades. Pair it with the bounty payout boosts at 30, 50 and 70 and hunting other squads becomes a progression path of its own. Read the free kits for their keys. The Explosives (16) and Trap (42) kits each include a Gun Store Weapons Locker Key. The Recon kit at 19 includes a Police Station Key, and the one at 46 includes a Black Market Weapons Locker Key. Those keys open loot rooms, so check where they lead before you deploy. Revive gear arrives late. The Self-Revive Kit recipe lands at 48, the Revive Pistol at 64 and the Defibrillator at 67. Until then you'll be relying on what you loot in raid and on Triage Kits.

Where Wing Mait fits

Wing Mait reads your screen and calls out what it sees, so you don't have to look away from the fight. DMZ support is in development. From today we're studying the early access HUD: compass location names, threat level, the radiation timer and exfil prompts. The level table above is the kind of thing a squadmate should know without you alt-tabbing to a wiki. Wing Mait doesn't read game memory, inject anything or send inputs to the game.
