Kill the Pyro and extract the Pyro Intel

This mission can be quite frustrating as the Pyro commander spawns at random locations on the map. To find him, you’ll have to check each location yourself. He could be at the Post Office, the U.S. Embassy, or in the Airport air traffic control tower. And here’s the kicker: you need separate keys to enter these locations. But don’t worry, if you have the Skeleton Key, it can unlock almost any door on the map, making your life much easier.

As you approach these locations, you’ll receive a notification when the Pyro is nearby. The quickest way to find him is to use a vehicle or a chopper for faster travel. Once you spot the boss, be prepared and bring a squad to take him down. Working together, you can coordinate your attacks, distract the Pyro, and focus on landing critical hits to bring him down. The Pyro is heavily armored and wields a Riot Shield, so it’s crucial to avoid his attacks. Once you defeat him, collect the Pyro intel he drops. Exfil safely, and the first two tasks will be marked complete.

Dead drop the Pyro Intel on Vondel

After successfully completing all the preceding tasks, you’ve completed the most challenging part of the mission. Now, your next step is to deploy into Vondel with the valuable Pyro intel you’ve collected. Your final objective is to deliver the intel using one of the designated dead drops marked on the map.

Among the various dead drops, you might have already visited the commonly used Vondel Zoo dumpster dead drop and the Phalanx dead drop near University POI. Should you need more options, refer to our comprehensive guide for additional dead drop locations.

That concludes all the essential details for the Explosive Sourcing DMZ mission. Before you embark on your next challenge, be sure to explore our guides on other tough missions.
