The brand new DMZ mode in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 has introduced an expansive sandbox battleground to the franchise. An integral part of survival in DMZ is locating hidden keys across the Al Mazrah map that unlock stashes of rare loot. One of the most valuable keys is the Cavern Boat Dock key, nestled deep within the foreboding Sattiq Cave Complex.
In this comprehensive guide, we‘ll shed light on the secrets of the Sattiq caves and provide expert tips to help you secure the coveted Cavern Boat Dock key.
The Legend of the Sattiq Caves
The Sattiq Cave Complex is located on a peninsula jutting out into the ocean along Al Mazrah‘s southeastern coast. Based on in-game lore, these mysterious caverns were used as smuggling routes during Mazrah‘s era of prohibition in the 1970s. Smugglers hid boat docks and contraband deep within its twisting tunnels.
Influenced by real-world cave complexes utilized for similar illicit purposes across the Middle East and Northern Africa, the Sattiq Caves offer players an immersive portal into Mazrah‘s intriguing history. They also provide the ultimate challenge for operators brave enough to plunder their depths.
Where to Find the Hidden Cavern Boat Dock Shack
Deep within the farthest reaches of the Sattiq Cave labyrinth lies the Cavern Boat Dock Shack, an inconspicuous wooden structure housing the elusive Cavern Boat Dock key.
Based on early DMZ access, we‘ve mapped out the shack‘s exact location. Check the marked map below for the optimal route:

Securing the Dock Key – Tactics and Loadouts
Traversing the Sattiq Caves‘ narrow tunnels and perimeter zones requires the right operator skills and weapons to survive.
We recommend equipping the Weapon Specialist skill to boost your armory along with Cold-Blooded to avoid AI detection. Infrared vision and snapshot grenades help spot enemies in the dark.
An SMG like the FSS Hurricane allows mobility in tight spaces while maintaining stopping power. Pair it with a ranged assault rifle like the M4 for long sightlines. Pack an RPG or Kampfpistole to quickly demolish the Juggernaut boss.
Finally, ensure your squad sticks together to cover all angles – the caves leave little room for error.
Unlocking the Dock Rewards
So what treasures await once you unlock the Cavern Boat Dock? Within the hidden dock interior, you‘ll find level 3 contraband loot including:
- Killstreaks – Cruise Missile, Cluster Mine
- Lethal Equipment – C4, Thermite
- Tactical Equipment – Stim, Flashbang
- Mod Kits – Akimbo, Select Fire
You‘ll also be able to extract any loot you‘ve acquired via the dock‘s boat exit. This provides an alternative extraction option beyond the primary helicopter extractions.
All of these rewards make braving the caves worthwhile.
Tips from the Front Lines
Having played DMZ during its early access period, I‘ve pinpointed effective strategies for securing keys based on experience:
- Clear the caves fully before extracting – keys can drop from any enemy.
- Keys also spawn in random supply boxes – search thoroughly.
- Return and sweep previously cleared areas. Respawns can occur.
- Exfil ASAP once you acquire the key to avoid potential loss.
- Keep cave entrances guarded as you loot interiors to prevent infiltrators.

Closing Thoughts
The Cavern Boat Dock key is your entryway to high-tier contraband hidden within the fabled Sattiq Caves. With an optimized loadout and thorough sweep, you can walk away kitted for dominating DMZ. Just watch your six – Mazrah‘s smugglers didn‘t leave their hideouts unprotected.
Now lead your squad spelunking into the depths and secure your rightful treasures. The treasures of DMZ await!
