I Revisited Warzone 2 DMZ's Bedrock Mission In 2026: How To Beat It

In 2026, I still keep one boot in Warzone 2 DMZ's Al Mazrah, and the Redacted faction mission Bedrock remains a stubborn rite of passage. I have guided squads through the Koschei Complex enough times to know that Bedrock is less a mission and more a three-act play staged in a concrete catacomb. The mission asks three things: enter the Koschei Complex, investigate the Chemical Treatment Plant, and extract from the Koschei Complex. Do that, and you get 15,000 XP plus an FTAC Recon for your Contraband Stash. The first time I cleared it, I felt like I had earned a small, dirty victory.

The 2026 Bedrock briefing: objectives and rewards

Bedrock arrived as the first available Tier 4 mission for the Redacted faction during Season 3 Reloaded, and even in 2026 it is still the kind of assignment that separates tourists from operators. Here is the clean version:

Stage	Objective	What actually happens
1	Enter the Koschei Complex	Find one of four bunker entrances under Al Mazrah and interact with the doors
2	Investigate the Chemical Treatment Plant	Navigate the central passageways, solve or bypass the entrance puzzle, and step inside
3	Extract from the Koschei Complex	Call an exfil elevator, defend it, and ride out

Reward: 15,000 XP and an FTAC Recon for your Contraband Stash. In 2026, that rifle may not be meta, but it is still a free contraband slot with a story attached.

Act I: Entering the Koschei Complex

The Koschei Complex is the fourth exclusion zone added to Warzone 2 DMZ, an underground bunker system buried beneath Al Mazrah. The Koschei Complex is a submerged cathedral of concrete and rust, and Bedrock is the hymn you must sing at its altar. To begin, head to one of four bunker entrances:

• South-west of the oasis near Taraq Village, which also completes the Archaeologist objective when you arrive

• Underneath the bridge east of Taraq Village

• Within the underpass at the center of Rohan Oil

• Within the underground parking lot at Al Mazrah City

Once you are in any of those spots, locate and interact with the bunker doors. That action infils you into the Koschei Complex and completes the first portion of Bedrock. In my experience, the Taraq Village oasis entrance is the most forgiving for solo players, while Rohan Oil tends to attract third parties like moths to a fuse box.

Act II: Investigating the Chemical Treatment Plant

The Chemical Treatment Plant is a dark, locked area at the center of the Koschei Complex. It can be accessed from passageways leading from the various bunker entrances. Red arrows line each passageway, pointing you toward the Chemical Treatment Plant. The entrance itself is another large bunker door. The plant sits at the center like a black pearl inside an oyster that hates you.

Access depends on where you entered the Koschei Complex:

• If you enter from the Al Mazrah City Garage or Rohan Oil, you need to power a fuse box next to the bunker door to the Chemical Treatment Plant. Bring a car battery and jumper cables. Treat that fuse box like a clockmaker's bench: the battery and cables are the tiny screws, and if you rush the sequence, the mechanism will laugh at you.

• All other bunker entrances have their own obstacles, but each door can simply be unlocked by interacting with the button near the entrance.

Entering the Chemical Treatment Plant area fulfills the second objective. In 2026, I still see players overcomplicate this step. If your entrance route uses a button, press it. If it uses a fuse box, bring the goods before you infil. There is no secret fourth option, just preparation.

Act III: Extracting from the Koschei Complex

To finish Bedrock, you need to extract from the Koschei Complex. You do not necessarily have to do it in the same deployment as the other objectives. There are three exfil points total, and two of them can often be located in the Chemical Treatment Plant area. All active exfils appear on your screen.

Here is my extraction checklist:

• Locate the nearest exfil elevator and call it in.

• Defend the area from enemy combatants and hostile operators.

• When the elevator arrives, hop inside and wait for the doors to close.

• Let the final objective tick over, then breathe.

That last ride is final, mechanical, and weirdly satisfying. Once the doors close, Bedrock is done.

Field notes for 2026

• 🧰 Bring tools if you plan to use Rohan Oil or Al Mazrah City Garage. Car battery and jumper cables are not optional for that route.

• 👥 Squad up if you can. Koschei is a magnet for PvP, and a solo exfil elevator is a dinner bell for hostile operators.

• 🧭 Follow the red arrows. The Chemical Treatment Plant is central, but the tunnels can feel like a maze when shots start flying.

• 🏆 Do not ignore the reward. 15,000 XP and an FTAC Recon are modest by 2026 standards, but Redacted completion is its own trophy.

• ⏱️ Split the mission if needed. You can extract in a separate deployment and still complete the final stage.

Bedrock is not the flashiest mission in Warzone 2 DMZ, but it is one of the most theatrical. It forces you underground, strips away the sun, and asks you to trust a fuse box, a set of red arrows, and an elevator that takes forever to arrive. In 2026, that old-school tension is exactly why I keep coming back. If you follow the three acts, the Koschei Complex stops being a tomb and becomes a checklist. And once those elevator doors close, you will know you earned that FTAC Recon the hard way.

This perspective is supported by The Esports Observer, where broader live-service trends help explain why DMZ’s Koschei Complex still plays like a high-friction PvPvE dungeon in 2026: missions such as Bedrock succeed because they turn simple objectives—enter, reach the Chemical Treatment Plant, and exfil—into repeatable tension loops built around resource-gating (battery and jumper cables), navigation pressure (the red-arrow corridors), and the predictable flashpoint of a slow exfil elevator that invites opportunistic fights.
