How to use the rebreather field upgrade in DMZ
If you have just got your hands on a rebreather in MW2 DMZ, here's how to use it properly in order to complete the Dark Water mission.
While playing MW2’s Dark Water DMZ mission, some players have reported that the rebreather is not working after diving into the water. If you weren’t aware, the Dark Water MW2 DMZ mission requires you to find a key that is well hidden underwater. During such situations, the rebreather is a valuable field upgrade that allows you to stay under for a certain period without coming up for oxygen.
However, some Call of Duty players are dying despite using a rebreather. In such a scenario, how would you handle the situation if the rebreather fails during the Dark Water DMZ mission? Let's find out.
How to use the rebreather properly in MW2 DMZ
Firstly, it’s worth noting that the rebreather tool is working properly without any issues. However, being a new item in MW2 DMZ mode, many players are unaware of how to use it correctly, leading to their elimination, despite using it.
As a field upgrade, the rebreather must be activated before submerging into the water; otherwise, it won't work. It's recommended to use the rebreather when the screen starts to blur, which indicates that your character requires air. You will die if you use it once the screen completely turns red.
To activate the rebreather, ensure that it is equipped and press the following buttons depending on your platform:
- Xbox: LB and RB
- PlayStation: L1 and R1
- PC: X
While using the rebreather, it's essential to maintain a steady position until a bar disappears from the meter. Furthermore, the rebreather can only be used up to four times, so monitoring the remaining usage is crucial.
Overall, the rebreather is a valuable item that can help you navigate the DMZ, evade enemy NPC patrols, or enter the enemy bases without alerting them. As mentioned earlier, this item has a finite number of charges, so you'll need to obtain a new one or switch it from your inventory once it’s out of charge.
That concludes our guide for the rebreather in DMZ. While you're here, make sure to check out how to get the MW2 DMZ Reconnaissance by Fire mission, which is one of the most challenging missions in the game.
