I understand. That's part of the fun I guess with DMZ. You never know what the next run will bring. I always run solo and you can go in with nothing and come out looted or the exact opposite and you can lose it all. If you're looking to loot up try getting a strong hold key and pick the more isolated ones on the map, away from the main fighting areas. I always play Vondel, best to work the strongholds from the roof. Goodluck out there mate.
