Full Dealmaker Mission guide for Warzone 2 DMZ

To complete the Dealmaker mission in Warzone 2 DMZ, players need to acquire three distinct items and trade those items in at a Buy Station using the newly implemented barter system. Below are the three items necessary to complete this mission:

  • x1 Electric Drill
  • x1 Gas Can
  • x1 Golden Skull

The Electrical Drill is the easiest of the three items to find, as it commonly drops in garages, lockers, and tool chests. Gas cans can also be found in these general areas, but also notably spawn inside gas stations most prominently.

The Golden Skull is the rarest of the items to find in Al Mazrah. Golden Skulls are scattered throughout the map, though are most commonly found in strongholds and other areas with a high density of hostile NPCs. Though not all Golden Skull locations have been found, there are a few areas where the rare item is guaranteed to spawn.

Your best bet is to go to the Police Stations in Al Mazrah City. Like almost all known Golden Skull locations, this area will be heavily defended, so make sure to go in well-armed and with friends if you can. From here, the Golden Skull will spawn randomly inside this enemy stronghold for you to find.

Once you have these items, go to any Buy Station on Al Mazrah and navigate to the ‘barter’ tab. Trade the three items for the backpack by interacting with it under the Barter Menu and you will have obtained a new Secure Backpack. After trading you will have completed your mission.
