Things to Prepare for the Lockdown Zone
Armor Class 4 is Recommended for Armor
Many players use leg meta ammunition, and equipping Armor Class 5-6 results in a significant loss if lost. While higher armor classes increase combat win rates, Level 4 is generally sufficient against the typical enemy player's equipment.
For Cost-Effective Helmets, "SH12" is Recommended
It can be purchased from traders for 5,002 Koen and comes standard with "Sound Pickup Active". Although it's Armor Class 3 and cannot equip a mask, it offers excellent cost performance.
Bringing Painkillers is Essential
If your legs are damaged, your movement speed will be significantly reduced until treated. Using painkillers allows you to act without losing movement speed even if injured. It's essential for increasing the probability of escaping to cover.
Concentrated Painkillers are Recommended
| Painkiller Effect Duration |
| 4 minutes 30 seconds |
It's a single-use painkiller but can be used without consuming water. The effect duration is long at 4 minutes and 30 seconds, and it can be purchased for about 800 Koen.
Prepare at Least 4 Grenades
It's an effective means of attack against enemies behind cover or holed up in buildings. Many players act cautiously in the Lockdown Zone, so use grenades to gain an advantage in the battle.
Bring 120-180 Rounds of Spare Ammunition
Raids in the Lockdown Zone often last long, and it's difficult to replenish ammunition on-site. Bringing extra ammunition in addition to spare magazines allows you to fight with peace of mind. Since ammunition is expensive, it's recommended to carry it in a safe container.
Setting "Tap to Reload" to On is Recommended
If the magazine and ammunition match, you can skip one step and load the bullets. If you want to quickly load ammunition into the magazine, turn this on.
Farm Lockdown Zone Strategy
Be Aware of Nearby Spawn Points at the Start of the Raid
Unlike normal maps, in the Lockdown Zone, enemy players may spawn at adjacent spawn points. Moving around carelessly can reveal your location and get you killed immediately after starting. Memorize the spawn points and check your surroundings before moving.
Move with a Knife in Areas with Little Cover
Since you don't know where enemies might be lurking, avoid moving through open areas. If you absolutely must pass through, it's recommended to switch to a knife, which allows for faster movement than when holding a gun.
Exercise Extreme Caution Near the Center of the Map
There are many enemy players and NPCs, making it a place where combat is likely to occur. If a battle breaks out, other parties will be alerted by the gunfire and gather. As it's the most dangerous area, if you've acquired enough supplies, passing through it is one option.
Extraction is the Most Important Thing
No matter how many supplies you find, you can't earn Koen if you can't extract. Farm is prone to exit camping, so don't let your guard down even near extraction points, and remember that "the ultimate goal is extraction." Bringing smoke grenades to temporarily conceal yourself is also recommended.
Try Using Conditional Extraction Points as Well
By paying 6,000 Koen, the "Southern Blockade Line" extraction point near the Motel becomes available. If you're operating around the Motel, this reduces the travel distance for extraction, thus lowering the risk of encountering enemies. Put 6,000 Koen in a safe container or similar and deploy.
Increased Spawn Rate of High-Value Supplies
Don't Forget to Loot Mid-Tier or Higher Locations
| List of Mid-Tier or Higher Landmarks | ||
| Grain Trade Center | Stables | Loading Area |
| Motel | Villa | - |
Compared to normal maps, the number of supply spots and the grade of appearing items have increased. You can earn enough Koen just by exploring, so it's recommended to loot supply spots in order from the closest to your spawn point.
Don't Forget to Bring Keys
Explore key rooms and aim for ultra-high-value supplies like Golden Lion Statues. There's no risk of losing keys you bring in, so if you have keys usable on the Farm, be sure to bring them.
Complete All of Evita's Missions
Upon clearing Evita's final mission "To the Valley," you will receive a "Normal Keychain" as a reward. This increases the number of keys you can bring into a raid, making it a very important item in the Lockdown Zone where high-value supplies are common.
Recommended Key Rooms List
Grain Trade Center Office
A key room on the 2nd floor of the Grain Trade Center. If you spawn on the west side, you can investigate it immediately. Contains 1 safe, 1 home PC, and 1 suitcase. There might also be supplies on the desk.

Roles When Partying Up
If You Have a Mid-Range Scope Weapon, Scout for Enemies
Since this map has many close-quarters battles, few players deploy with mid-range scopes. If you spot an enemy using a scope, such as at the start of a raid, report their location.
Report by Marking the Map
| Step 1 Report using chat templates |  |
| Step 2 Mark the enemy's position on the map |  |
Cover Teammates When They Are Reviving
A player who is reviving is unable to perform any actions. Ideally, you should do this after all enemies are defeated, but since the revivable time is limited, there are cases where you must revive during combat. In such situations, provide cover to buy time for the revive.
Mark Your Desired Location to Coordinate Movement
If the party's objectives become fragmented, the advantage of deploying as a group is lost. By marking your desired location on the map, you can coordinate your actions. If the objective isn't clear, take the initiative to mark it.
