How to complete the 'Pay It Forward' mission in DMZ
Pay It Forward is a tough mission in DMZ, so if you're not sure how to complete it or you need help figuring it out, we've got you covered with our guide.
The Pay It Forward mission in Call of Duty DMZ can be a bit confusing if you're not sure how to complete it. In this guide, we'll rundown each step of the mission and explain exactly what you need to do to get it finished in the game.

With our guide, though, you should be good to go, so keep reading to find out how to complete the Pay It Forward mission in DMZ.
How to complete 'Pay It Forward'
Firstly, to complete Pay It Forward in DMZ you need to find a disguise to be able to barter for the dog bank. You can find them inside duffle bags or lockers. Then you'll need to kill an enemy squad and collect a single bronze dog tag from one of them to get the Scavenger to spawn.
Once the Scavenger spawns, you need to go to check for the new buy station (check the icons on the map for a slightly different shopping icon). Access the Deployable Buy Station, then use it to trade your Bronze Tag for the defective dog bank.
Next, head to Koschei Complex with your defective dog bank. Head to Factory Admin and place the dog bank in the dead drop there.
Finally, pick up the newly-spawned Konni Intel on the floor and extract it via helicopter. As soon as you successfully exfil you should complete the Pay It Forward mission.
