Warzone 2 DMZ players know that The Route Forward mission is essential for unlocking the Tier-4 Toxin Research Story mission. This challenging 3-step mission requires players to find and plant tracking devices and complete a data download in the Al Mazrah map. To help with this intense mission, we've created an ultimate guide based on Gamerant's article to ensure you complete it without a hitch.

Step 1: Loot Seven Tracking Devices

The first step in completing The Route Forward mission is to locate and loot seven tracking devices from the Dead Drop at Al-Sharim Pass. Here's how to do it:

1. Enter the Al-Sharim Pass, located on the southeast side between two buildings on a hillside.
2. Search for one of the prominent dumpsters that serve as Dead Drops.
3. Open the dumpster and retrieve all seven tracking devices.

With the tracking devices in hand, you're ready to move on to the next step.

Step 2: Plant Seven Tracking Devices

Now that you have the tracking devices, your next task is to plant them on seven Al-Qatala trucks scattered around the Sattiq Caves. Make sure to look for the Al-Qatala logo to ensure you're at the correct truck.

First Truck Location

• Head to the Sattiq Upper Caverns Denied Area entrance, where the first truck is located.
• Approach the truck, and when prompted, plant the tracking device.

Second and Third Truck Location

• Find the Riverside Caves and eliminate any armored bots blocking your path to the trucks.
• Plant the tracking devices on both trucks (one is above the caverns, and the other is inside the Riverside Caves).

Fourth to Seventh Truck Locations

• Using the zipline in the Riverside Caves' center, head towards the Upper Caverns.
• Find two trucks on the left side of the main Upper Caverns entrance and plant the tracking devices.
• Continue down the cavern until it bends to the left, where you'll find the seventh truck.
• Plant the final tracking device on this last truck.

With all tracking devices planted, you're ready for the final step.

Step 3: Download The Data

The last step in this mission is to download crucial data. Follow these instructions to complete the task:

1. Go to the secluded bunker near any Sattiq Cave Complex extraction point.
2. Locate the servers and the activation switch within the bunker.
3. Press the interaction button when prompted to start the data download.
4. Wait a few seconds for the download to finish, completing The Route Forward mission.

Upon completing this mission, you will receive the Chisel weapon blueprint for the SA-B 50 Marksman Rifle, along with a 40000 XP bonus. This guide, based on Gamerant's article, provides a clear and concise pathway to successfully completing Warzone 2 DMZ's The Route Forward mission. With these steps, you'll be well on your way to unlocking the Tier-4 Toxin Research Story mission and conquering the chaotic Al Mazrah map. Good luck, and happy gaming!
