DMZ Orders Stuck? How to Get the Next Page and Make Stalled Tasks Count
What to try when the Caller's call does nothing, the Orders tab is blank, or a finished task won't tick.
How pages are supposed to unlock
Finish every Order on the current page, extract, and back at the FOB the Caller phones you with the next page.multiple sources agree
X01 Orders are already documented as 5 pages of 3 Orders, 15 in total. That count is not in question on this page. Open the page →
Before you start
Your game is on the latest patch. Know your current page and every Order on it. Pages can be numbered differently depending on which chapter you picked first, so go by the Order names.
Steps: the call disappears or the Orders tab is empty
1Use the Orders laptop
Walk to the Orders laptop in the FOB and interact with it directly. Several players say this makes the call go through when tapping Connect does nothing.multiple sources agree
2Hold “show orders” on the deploy screen
One player says this fixed it for them.multiple sources agree
3Tab through X01 Orders
Open your X01 Orders tab, then tab back to Hajin. One player got their missing Hajin page back this way. If you don't have X01 Orders yet, one suggestion is to play and extract from an X01 round first.multiple sources agree
4Restart the game

Steps: a task won't tick
1Read the verb
“Print”, “equip”, “loot”, “track” and “extract” are different actions. A Medkit you looted doesn't count for “print a Medkit”. An item in a Secure Slot doesn't count for an “extract” step until you actually extract.single source
2Check every line
Many Orders have two or three counters, like a kill count plus a pickup. The page reward only comes when every Order on the page is done.
3Printer tracking stuck
Some players say the 3D printer tracking slot stays pinned to an upgrade they already finished, which blocks tracking-based Orders. There's no confirmed fix yet. Note your counter and report it rather than spending more resources.multiple sources agree
4Extract-an-item Orders
One player says a late-page Ultra weapon extract didn't tick. Check that the item is in your backpack or loadout, not on the ground or with a squadmate, and that the extraction actually finished.single source
Already fixed
An Orders menu stuck on “Please Wait” after finishing every Order was listed as fixed on Nov 7.multiple sources agree
Common mistakes
- Replaying a page's missions when the page is done and only the call is broken.
- Thinking a missing call before page 24 means you've run out of Orders (that page count is itself unconfirmed).
- Owning an item instead of doing the action the Order names.
Needs in-match check
Tick these off in your own gameplay. Nothing here is confirmed on Mission Key yet.
