Most Hated Players Just Got NERFED
A sniper's glint near the escape helicopter is a warning: reaching the exit doesn't mean you're getting out. FaZe Vegas turns that familiar DMZ predicament into a menu of escape plans, ending with an alternative to shooting back: invite the other players into your squad.
"Most Hated Players Just Got NERFED" has passed 220,000 views. Despite the title's emphasis on weakening unpopular players, the Short is a practical guide to countering exfil campers, opponents who wait around extraction points to ambush people trying to leave.
The narrator runs through ways to avoid them, shelter from them or change the encounter altogether. The Final Intel trait reveals a hidden final extraction point; another approach involves riding on the outside of a departing helicopter. A deployable riot shield offers cover while boarding, while a Fulton skyhook provides an alternative extraction method. Then comes Plan F: friendship, using the proximity squad invite wheel rather than starting another firefight.
That last option meets some lived experience in the comments, which arrived seven times faster than on a usual first day. One viewer remembers sharing an escape helicopter with an enemy, both lying at opposite ends while others fired at them. Others describe rejected attempts at cooperation, recommend truces or explain their smoke-covered boarding routines.
FaZe Vegas has also been posting guides to gold weapons and console settings. This time, its advice reaches beyond equipment: an exit can depend on what the stranger beside you decides to do.

I've only played one game of DMZ so far, got into the escape heli with an enemy, both of us laying down on each ends while other enemies were shooting at us. I know not every person in the heli are gonna be cool like that.
@jrider9168See it on YouTubeI always get an armored car and drive around extract until the chopper comes, then pop smokes and jump in the chopper
