How to clear a compound in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ

Clearing a compound is one of the early orders you'll have to complete when you arrive in Modern Warfare 4's DMZ mode, and it requires you to assault a mini enemy stronghold.

Compounds are marked with the little tent and flag symbols on the map, though they vary in difficulty, and some of them require keys to open. If you're looking for an easy one to complete, I recommend the two in Daesong Ridge in the south of the map. These army camps are open, so they're easy to access, and they don't have too many enemies. To clear a compound you need to:

  • Kill every enemy in the compound—your current progress is represented by the percentage bar on the left, though it counts up instead of down.
  • When you kill the last enemy in the stronghold, make sure to pick up the Medical Extraction Intel they drop and extract it to complete the order.

If you can't find the last enemies, they may be stuck in something, so search around, or just make some noise to attract their attention, or if all else fails, find another compound.

While you're in the compound, don't forget to loot any safes you find for some decent valuables—in the army camps, these are in the tower and in the main building, though the smaller barracks also have lockers and containers with loot.
