How to Get DMZ Keys

How to Get Keys
Start An Eliminate HVT Contract

Eliminate and Loot Key from HVT

Head to the Location to Receive Rewards

Keys Can Also Be Obtained as a Reward

Farm Keys at the Post Office

Start An Eliminate HVT Contract

Eliminate HVT Contract missions are found on your map with a green crosshair icon. Head over to one of these locations and you will find a phone that you would have to interact with to accept the contract mission.

Once accepted you will then be directed to the location of where you need to go next – open your map to see the marked location of the HVT similar to the crosshair icon.

Eliminate and Loot Key from HVT

Head to the directed location and find the HVT, the target will be heavily guarded with surrounding AI Combatants. Once the HVT is eliminated, he will drop a key which you can keep in your backpack.

Keys don’t expire after a game session and can be kept in your personal storage for your next DMZ session!

Head to the Location to Receive Rewards

Unfortunately, the locations of where you will need to use these keys will NOT be marked on your map. Instead, the name of the location will be labeled on the key along with the map coordinates, the latter can be viewed by selecting the key in your backpack.

A great tip for this is to immediately exfil safely and keep your keys in your personal storage to prevent any unnecessary losses, then hop on another DMZ session and start another HVT Contract to stack keys in your storage.

Keys Can Also Be Obtained as a Reward

Opening reward loots will also give you keys to a different location – keep in mind that keys have limited use. The number of usage left will be displayed on the key itself.

Farm Keys at the Post Office

The Post Office is an excellent way to farm keys as you can loot mailboxes which usually contains keys. Some Key tags are colored in gold which means the loot from that location will be high tier.

You will need the Post Office key to enter the building, if you don’t have it, there is a chance for it to appear at any of the Buy Stations each game, which you can purchase for $30,000 cash.
