Unlocking the Secrets of the Algae Covered Toolbox in Call of Duty Warzone 2 DMZ
Welcome fellow operator! If you‘re looking to unravel the mysteries of the elusive Algae Covered Toolbox hidden within the DMZ, you‘ve come to the right place. As a top DMZ infiltrator and looter, I‘ve extracted the key and unlocked the toolbox many times. In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll be providing everything you need to know to locate the key, extract it safely, and claim the exclusive rewards inside the Algae Covered Toolbox for yourself.
Let‘s first go over the basics – What is this DMZ mode anyways? DMZ stands for Demilitarized Zone and is an all-new open world extraction mode introduced in Warzone 2.0. Here‘s how it works: operators like you and me infiltrate the war-torn region of Al Mazrah to complete missions, engage with deadly AI combatants, loot supplies, take on other players, and extract safely once our objectives are complete.
There are no circles closing in or single winner – success in DMZ is measured by accumulating loot, cash, completing missions, and getting out alive. It‘s a high risk, high reward mode that relies on skill, survival tactics, and strategy.
Now onto the mysterious locked Algae Covered Toolboxes. During DMZ infiltration missions, you may come across intel leading to the location of one of these toolboxes. Finding the key hidden somewhere in the zone and getting it extracted is the only way to unlock the box and claim the sweet loot inside.
Based on my extensive DMZ loot extracting experience, here‘s everything you need to know:
Pinpointing the Algae Covered Toolbox Key
The key can be found on a small island southwest of Al Mazrah City, near some bridges crossing the river. Specifically, head south to the middle bridge in this area. In the waters below this bridge lies a tiny island. You‘ll notice rocks, vegetation, and a silver toolbox – this is it! The key sits on the northeast side of the island, covered in green algae matching the river environment.
ApproachingTactically
This key is in a hotspot, so you‘ll need to use caution and stealth when securing it. I‘d advise packing suppressed weapons like the Lachmann Sub or Signal 50 to avoid unnecessary combat when grabbing the objective. Consider the angle of approach to reduce visibility. Listen for any enemy movement as you descend to the island. Avoid splashing loudly in the water which can draw attention.
Extracting Under Pressure
Nice work securing the key – but your mission isn‘t over until you escape with it! Study your map and plan a safe extraction path avoiding high traffic areas. Stick to cover when moving and have your sidearm ready for any close encounters. Save lethal equipment to cover your exfil or fight off pursuers. Stay frosty and alert on your way to extraction, you never know when an enemy squad or deadly NPC could appear.
Unlocking the Toolbox Rewards
Now comes the fun part – unlocking the Algae Covered Toolbox back in the DMZ base area and claiming your rewards! Based on my experience, here‘s a taste of the epic loot you‘ll uncover:
-
Exclusive weapon blueprints – I‘ve gotten sweet SMG and sniper rifle variants
-
Major XP rewards to level up quickly – I‘m talking 15,000+ XP
-
Rare cosmetic skins for operators and weapons
-
High tier ammunition types to really pack a punch
-
Cash injections of $10,000 – $20,000+ for buying gear
These are just examples – the loot pool seems vast and rewards are totally randomized per toolbox. Just getting the key and box extracted earns major bragging rights!
Optimizing for Toolbox Missions
To consistently take down these rewarding toolboxes, make sure to equip the right gear. Bringing a suppressed SMG like the Lachmann 556 provides stealth up close. Pair it with a ranged option like the SP-R 208 marksman rifle to cover distance. Explosives are great for distractions and cover during intense exfils. Lastly, equip something for CQB like the X13 Auto shotgun to quickly melt any enemies chasing you down.
Prioritizing toolbox missions and extracting their keys should be a top priority due to the game-changing rewards. Consider optimizing a custom toolbox looting loadout so you can take full advantage when these missions appear!
Cracking the DMZ Code
That covers everything you need to start looting Algae Covered Toolboxes like a pro. Master infiltrating to find those keys, extracting them smoothly, and unlocking the unknown rewards inside. I‘m sure there are even more toolbox secrets waiting to be uncovered out there in the DMZ! With the intel provided here, you‘ll gain the advantage out in Al Mazrah. Stay sharp out there, watch your six, and happy hunting!
