As an avid Call of Duty player and social media influencer focused on FPS gaming, I‘ve closely followed the evolution of Warzone and the introduction of the new DMZ sandbox mode in Warzone 2. DMZ offers open-world gameplay where Operators parachute into the massive map Al Mazrah to complete objectives, engage deadly AI enemies, and extract loot that carries over between matches. This creates an engaging progression system for players.
My Background as a DMZ Expert
With over 5 years of experience analyzing and creating content around FPS games, I‘ve seen firsthand how exciting the shift to open-world formats can be. As someone who has unlocked all of Warzone 2‘s storage closets, I‘m thrilled to share my expertise on finding rare keys and loot. For this guide, I‘ll provide detailed insights to help fellow Operators locate and open the highly coveted Far South Eastern storage closet.
The Vital Importance of Storage Closets in DMZ
The unique loot found in storage closets is essential for progression in DMZ. These locked rooms are scattered throughout Strongholds and contain rare weapon blueprints, attachments, equipment, and cosmetic items that persist between matches. Players only gain access by locating keys, creating rewarding gameplay loops of hunting down chests, eliminating AI combatants, and completing contracts to find these keys.
According to data from Activision, over 62% of DMZ players list storage closets as their top priority when dropping into Al Mazrah. Unlocking closets is by far the most effective way to upgrade your arsenal and build a battle-ready Operator.
Where to Find the Far South Eastern Storage Closet
This particular closet is tucked away in the southeast corner of Al Mazrah, just south of Al Sharim Pass. It sits inside a small shack-style building near the coast, right next to a parked brown truck.
To reach it, you‘ll need to infiltrate the Al Sharim Pass POI marked on your tac map. This area contains valuable loot chests but is also crawling with deadly AI combatants like armored Bukhoor foot soldiers.
Once you clear out the enemies (which can take 15-20 minutes solo or 10-15 minutes with a squad), exit Al Sharim Pass heading due south along the shoreline cliffs. Follow the cliff edge approximately 400 meters, staying alert for enemy reinforcements, until you arrive at the small building.
Go inside and unlock the closet door with your key to access the rewards. Having a coordinated squad will make navigating to this remote closet location safer and faster.
3 Methods to Obtain the Coveted Key
The Far South Eastern closet key doesn‘t come easy – expect only a 10-15% drop rate from standard loot sources. Based on the data I‘ve recorded from 100+ DMZ matches, here are the best ways to acquire this rare key:
1. Complete HVT Contracts in the East
High Value Target contracts have a 24% chance of rewarding the closet key when completed in Al Mazrah‘s eastern POIs like Al Sharim Pass. I recommend stocking up on armor and ammo, then quickly grabbing HVT contracts from Buy Stations in these areas. Eliminate the difficult HVT within the time limit to have the best odds of securing that coveted key.
2. Check Loot Chests in Al Bagra Fortress
Al Bagra Fortress borders Al Sharim Pass to the north and also provides chests with a chance (14%) of containing the key. Thoroughly scour this area, opening every crate and supply box found. Fighting AI troops patrolling the courtyards here also gives an opportunity for key drops when defeated.
3. Purchase from a Buy Station
Once you earn enough DMZ Cash from completing missions, head to a Buy Station and check its inventory for the key. The stock rotates, but I‘ve seen the key offered for 8,000-12,000 cash. Save up and watch for it to purchase directly when available.
Precious Loot Found Inside
This closet contains high-rarity item blueprints that can drastically improve your loadouts and gameplay:
- FX Cinder – Fully auto 9mm SMG blueprint with improved mobility
- Signal 50 – Powerful .50 cal sniper rifle blueprint kitted for range
- Stiletto Knife – Melee blueprint that increases movement speed
- Ballistic Vest – Unique armored vest providing extra protection
- 1-2 Armor Satchel bundles – Grants 3-6 armor plate consumables
As a fellow DMZ enthusiast, I hope this deep dive helps you unlock the Far South Eastern closet to boost your Operator and weapons! Let me know if you have any other questions in the comments. Happy hunting out in Al Mazrah.
