Description
You’ve probably heard about the incident at the TV Station, soldier. An unidentified squad is disrupting the balance of the Dark Zone. Like an undercurrent, they’re stirring up trouble and clouding everyone’s judgment. We sent a team to investigate, but they came back empty-handed and we lost a few good people. My superiors have denied my request to pursue this further and have given me new orders. Now, I need you to go to the Farm, observe the Southern Army, and report back on their current situation.
Location: Farm.
Contact: Vladlen.
Mission Objectives
- Eliminate 6 enemies at the Stable/Recycling Station/ Motel in Farm.
- Team Objective. Go to the Artificial Lake Hut in Farm and search 1 unsearched home computer.
Rewards
- 5.000 XP.
- 20.000 Koen.
How to complete the mission?
This mission combines combat objectives with a location-based investigation task. All objectives can be completed in a single raid, but extraction alive is mandatory.
1. Loadout & Preparation
Recommended Gear
- Armor: Level 3–4 (AI-heavy zones, moderate PMC risk)
- Weapons:
- SMGs (UMP45, MPX) or
- Short ARs (AKS-74U, M4 CQB build)
- Ammo: Medium penetration (PS / M855 tier)
- Tactical Items:
- 1–2 Frag grenades (excellent for huts and tight interiors)
- Optional smoke grenade for disengagement
- Medical: Basic heals + painkillers
💡 You don’t need loot space – prioritize mobility and survivability.
2. Eliminate 6 Enemies at Stable / Recycling Station / Motel
You may kill enemies across all three areas – they are cumulative, not location-locked.
Best Route for Efficiency
- Stable → Recycling Station → Motel
Tips for Enemy Eliminations
- AI patrols respawn more frequently near the Stable and Recycling Station
- The motel has higher PMC traffic, so be cautious
- Grenades can secure fast kills inside tents, huts, and stables
- Kills count regardless of:
- Weapon used
- Distance
- Whether enemies are AI or hostile operators (if applicable)
⚠️ Only kills made within these specific zones count.
3. Team Objective: Search the Home Computer at Artificial Lake Hut
Location Details
- Artificial Lake is in the southern/central area of the Farm
- The hut is a small wooden structure near the water
- Inside, you’ll find a home computer
How to Complete
- Enter the hut carefully – it’s a common ambush point
- Interact with the home computer
- Ensure it is unsearched (first interaction only counts)
- Wait for the objective confirmation before leaving
⚠️ If another player already searched it first, the objective will not complete – extract and retry.
4. Extraction
Once:
- ✅ 6 enemies are eliminated
- ✅ Home computer is searched
You must extract successfully.
Recommended Exits
- Path to Northridge (after Artificial Lake)
- Checkpoint Exit (if rotating back north)
- Village Exit (if Motel is heavily contested)
💡 Avoid staying too long – the Farm becomes increasingly dangerous mid-raid.
Tactical Advice
- Prioritize enemy kills first, then rotate south for the computer
- Listen closely – AI footsteps near Stable are loud and predictable
- If PMCs contest Motel heavily, disengage and finish kills elsewhere
- Night raids can reduce PMC pressure if available
Final Verdict
“Undercurrent” is a reconnaissance-focused mission disguised as a combat task. By efficiently clearing enemies at high-traffic Farm locations and securing intel from the Artificial Lake Hut, you’ll uncover vital information about the Southern Army’s movements. Stay disciplined, avoid unnecessary fights, and extract cleanly to complete the mission with minimal risk.
