Description
Your performance is bringing all kinds of new support to the Guard Corps behind the scenes. There’s no question in my mind now that we’re going to become a more important player in the Dark Zone’s future I’ve also got more say now in how the Guard Corps operates. I’ve developed a deep appreciation for your skills, so I’m going to get real with you for a minute. I’m not sure how you feel about authority, but to me, authority means power-the power to lift someone up or bring them to their knees…

How to complete the mission?
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Find and Search Document Boxes (5 times)
- Document boxes are small, brownish office-style storage containers, usually placed on desks, shelves, or in storage rooms.
- In Armory Interior, you can find them in:
- Administration offices (upper levels).
- Security control rooms near the Radar Station.
- Underground Mine office areas.
🔑 Key Note: Only unsearched boxes count. If another player loots them before you, you won’t get progress from that container. Move quickly to office zones right after raid start.
2. Retrieve the Letter from the Basement Intelligence Center
- Head to the Armory Basement. The Intelligence Center is a secured office space, often locked behind a key.
- Inside, locate the letter item on a desk or storage cabinet. Pick it up – it will automatically register as mission progress.

⚠️ Expect heavy AI patrols in the basement area, especially armored guards. Bring armor-piercing ammo.
3. Extraction Strategy
- Once you’ve completed both objectives, your priority is survival.
- Recommended exits:
- West Highway Periphery Exit (faster and safer if cleared early).
- Underground Mine Exit (secondary, but often camped – be cautious).
Pro Tips
- Loadout: Bring a mid-to-long range weapon (e.g., AK-15 or MDR) with armor-piercing rounds, since you’ll encounter both AI and players in tight corridors.
- Keys: Carry basement-related keys (like Equipment Storage Key). Without them, you’ll risk being locked out of the letter objective.
- Squad Advantage: One player searches document boxes while another covers; this prevents ambushes in office rooms.
✅ Summary: Search 5 document boxes in office areas → head to Basement Intelligence Center and grab the letter → extract safely. Completing this will earn you 15,000 XP and 20,000 Koen from Renoir.
