Not every other squad has to be an enemy. DMZ lets you team up mid-match.
Truce
Use the Ping Wheel to request a Truce with another squad. If they accept, you agree not to fight. It is a promise, not a rule: betrayal is possible.
Assimilation
You can also ask to assimilate with another squad, joining them as one group. An assimilated group is capped at four players, so two trios cannot merge.
When to use it
- Solo players: a truce or a merge with a duo can turn a dangerous match into a safe one.
- Shared objectives: if you are both after the same boss, a truce can be the difference.
- Near exfils: agreeing to share an exfil avoids a fight that loses both squads their loot.
Proximity chat helps too: you can just talk. See proximity chat and squads.
