Thinning the Herd DMZ Faction Mission Guide in Warzone 2: Everything You Should Know

Thinning the Herd will take a decent amount of time to complete due to the objectives. However, it is a straightforward mission essential to progress with the Shadow Company. Directly after landing in the said zones, we recommend gathering lots of ammo and decent weapons because you will need them on this mission.

It is a combat mission and not an exploratory/ collection mission as we like to call it. Let us take a look at the objectives, tiers, and rewards of this mission. It will tell you everything you need to know about the mission.

Tier, Objectives, and Rewards

The mission is straightforward and easy. All you have to do is land on the respective maps mentioned above and kill the required number of Konni Soldiers. It should take you about half an hour to complete these missions even though they are easy.

You can easily identify Konni Soldiers by their uniforms. Their entire garb is a black body suit with a red scarf or a mask. That being said, let us look at where in the above maps you can find these soldiers.

  • Vondel: There are lots of Konni Soldiers in High Combat Zones. Most of the time, there will be Shadow Company soldiers in these areas as well. Both of these factions will combat each other from time to time. Do not shoot at Shadow Company soldiers but take the Konni Soldiers out before a firefight begins with both of them.
  • Ashika Island: You will find Konni Soldiers almost anywhere on the map.
  • Al Mazrah: We recommend searching three to four places; specifically, Al Sharim Pass, Radiation Zones, Sarrif Bay, and Sa’id City.
