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

Already on Mission Key

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

  1. 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

  2. 2Hold “show orders” on the deploy screen

    One player says this fixed it for them.multiple sources agree

  3. 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

Steps: a task won't tick

  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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
