Key facts
  • Every Point of Interest has a Threat level from Low to Extreme, shown on the HUD under the compass; human Operators are not counted in it.
  • The After Action Report has four parts: Report, Rating, Level and Summary.
  • The Rating combines Objectives, Combat and Looting on a scale the page gives as F to S++.
  • DMZ Player Level runs 1 to 70; Dog Tags have 18 levels, Steel to Onyx III, and each level up earns an Operator Trait.

The official Hajin Tac Map page on the Call of Duty site explains three DMZ systems you meet around every deployment: the Threat level of each area, the After Action Report after a run, and the Dog Tag levels that run alongside your DMZ Player Level. This article summarizes that page in our own words. It names only the ends of some of its scales, so we mark what it does not say.

Threat levels

  • Every Point of Interest has its own Threat level, from Low at the bottom to Extreme at the top
  • The Threat level shows on the HUD, top middle under the compass, as you enter each new area
  • A higher Threat level means more dangerous and more numerous enemies
  • Human Operators are not included in the Threat indicator, so stay alert for other squads even in a Low Threat area

The After Action Report

The page describes the report as four parts, in this order.

  • Report: what you gathered on the deployment, including valuables, 3D Printer ingredients, rare items and DMZ Cash earned from Operations. The total DMZ Cash goes to your Bank, and the report also shows your Backpack and Loadout contents
  • Rating: a single rating built from Objectives, Combat and Looting, on a scale the page gives as F to S++. It then confirms your totals for AI Kills, Missions Completed, Loot Containers Opened and Side Ops Completed, with the XP earned in each category
  • Level: the XP is applied to your DMZ Player Level and to your Dog Tag level
  • Summary: the DMZ Orders you completed and their rewards, followed by the return to the FOB with weapon leveling updates

Player Level and Dog Tag levels

DMZ Player Level runs from 1 to 70, and the page says there are unlocks at every level in that range. Dog Tags have 18 levels, from Steel to Onyx III, and each time your Dog Tag levels up you earn an Operator Trait.

What the page does not say

  • The names of the Threat levels between Low and Extreme
  • The grades between F and S++, and how Objectives, Combat and Looting are weighed into the rating
  • The names of the Dog Tag levels between Steel and Onyx III, and which Trait each level awards
  • What unlocks at each DMZ Player Level
  • A publication date: the page carries none

DMZ launched October 23, 2026 as part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Early Access opened October 20 for a digital pre-order or pre-purchase of the Standard Digital or Vault Edition.
