How do I get Counterfeit Cash in MW4 DMZ?

Hack the UAV Tower in Deadtown, kill five NK soldiers it pings, then loot the Counterfeit Cash they drop. It is part of the Execute Intel order.

Why are NK soldiers not dropping Counterfeit Cash?

Only soldiers pinged by the UAV Tower you hacked in Deadtown drop it. Hack the tower again and kill marked soldiers while the ping is active.

Where to go

Execute Intel takes place in Deadtown, the former North Korean town in southwest Hajin. The UAV Tower there pings nearby NK soldiers; only soldiers pinged by that tower drop the Counterfeit Cash.

How to complete it, step by step

Go to Deadtown and find the UAV Tower. Hack it to start the scan; it marks nearby NK soldiers for a short time.
Kill five of the pinged NK soldiers while the marks are active. Soldiers that were not pinged do not count.
Loot the bodies: pinged soldiers drop Counterfeit Cash. Pick it up from the drop to complete the objective.
Exfil with the cash to bank the order.

Tips

Hack the tower only when you are ready to fight: the ping does not last long.
If the cash is not dropping, check the soldier was marked by the tower you hacked, not by another squad.

How DMZ Orders work

DMZ Orders are the guided tasks you pick up at the DMZ Orders station in the FOB. They are grouped into chapters (Counterfeit is one of them) and each chapter into pages. Finish every task on a page, then extract: progress only counts after a successful exfil, and the next page arrives from a Caller back at the FOB. Page rewards are shared for the whole page, so one objective does not pay on its own. If your tracker shows slightly different wording, match the full objective text before you follow a route.
