Faction missions in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 DMZ can be frustrating at times, but they’re mostly fun. After grinding the Crown Faction for a long time, you’ll finally reach the conclusive Tier 5 story mission called Data Wipe. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to complete this complex mission in DMZ.
Data Wipe Mission DMZ
How to get the Experiment Hard Drive
You may remember completing theBoating and Enteringmission for Tier 4 Crown Faction, the story mission for the previous tier. For the final step in that mission, you extract an Experiment Hard Drive, which you acquired after going through a tedious process of flipping switches. This is the same hard drive that you require for the current mission.
Before attempting the Data Wipe mission, go to your Mission Items stash in your loadout and see if you have the Experiment Hard Drive in there. It’ll be there if you had stowed it previously. If not, you’ll have to go through the entire process of the Boating and Entering mission. Therefore, make sure you don’t die between the tasks for this mission, or else you’ll have to go back for the hard drive and redo all the steps.

Where to decrypt the hard drive in Building 21
Deploy intoBuilding 21with the Experiment Hard Drive and head over to theData Centeron thefirst floor. This is the difficult part as you’ll face several armored bots and even enemy operators, hence, process cautiously. To access the Data Center, turn right from the B1 Stairwell into the Basement Hallway. Walk down the path until you find a large wooden container. From there, enter the room on your right with bright red lights, i.e., the Data Center.
In thesoutheast cornerof the Data Center, you’ll find a large computer terminal that’ll be making a loud beeping noise. Approach the device and press the interact button when you get theUse Terminalprompt. Defend the area while the upload finishes, after which you may retrieve theDecrypted Experiment Hard Drivefrom the computer. Extract the hard drive via an elevator exfil, which should arrive at the 7-minute mark.
Where to upload the decrypted hard drive
Finally, take the Decrypted Experiment Hard Drive into Al Mazrah and upload it from the Zaya Observatory Radio Tower (shown in the images above). You may have visited this location before for theNowhere To Hidemission for Tier 3 White Lotus. Climb to the very top of the tower and upload the hard drive. Wait until the upload is over and you should have completed the Data Wipe mission. As a completion reward for this mission, you’ll receive theDead Endblueprint for the Kastov 762 AR.
