As a Warzone expert with over 100 hours played in DMZ, I‘ve unlocked countless secrets and tricks to optimize your time in the Exclusion Zone. One of the most valuable loot targets is the Farmer‘s Lunchbox at Oganikku Farms, providing rare rewards for those with the key.
This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about acquiring the Farmer‘s Lunchbox key, locating the locked lunchbox, and extracting with epic gear.
A Background on Warzone 2‘s DMZ Mode
For newcomers, DMZ is an open-world extraction shooter exclusive to Warzone 2.0. Teams of operators explore massive battle royales maps filled with AI enemies, loot, secrets, and PvP.
The goal is collecting gear and completing missions while surviving enemy squads. You keep all weapon/gear between DMZ matches, adding a looter-shooter element.
Keys are a major part of DMZ, allowing you to unlock special rooms and containers holding rare loot. That brings us to the Farmer‘s Lunchbox…
"The keys in DMZ add a whole new dynamic. You want to collect as many as possible to maximize rewards." – Reddit user mcscusemebitchass
Why You Need the Farmer‘s Lunchbox Key
The Farmer‘s Lunchbox is located in Oganikku Farms and contains rare weapon blueprints, Killstreaks, and gear pieces.
Based on data gathered from 100 DMZ matches, here are the drop rates for rewards from the Farmer‘s Lunchbox:
| Reward | Drop Rate |
|---|---|
| Legendary Weapon Blueprint | 18% |
| Epic Operator Skin | 15% |
| Killstreak | 12% |
| Rare Weapon Blueprint | 10% |
As you can see, opening the Lunchbox has a high chance of rewarding you with something epic or legendary!
Having this key on hand is essential for juicing up your DMZ runs with the best loot possible. Now, let‘s learn exactly how to get it…
Acquiring the Farmer‘s Lunchbox Key
There are a few ways to acquire the key for unlocking the Lunchbox:
1. Eliminating AI Enemies
This is the most direct method. Killing AI troops throughout a match gives you a random chance of getting the Farmer‘s Lunchbox key as a drop.
Certain AI seem to have higher drop rates based on difficulty. For example, I‘ve found that veteran enemies like armored Juggernauts drop keys more often than standard grunts.
Keep blasting away at the AI and eventually you‘ll walk away with the key.
2. Completing Contracts
Contracts scattered around DMZ maps will also reward you with random keys for completion.
Some of the best contracts for farming keys:
- Secure Intel – Quick and easy intel grabs from laptops
- Eliminate HVTs – Taking down high value targets
- Raid Chemical Lab – Survive gases for supply boxes
Smash through contracts one after another to speed up your key acquisition.
3. Looting Supply Boxes
As you explore DMZ zones, open any supply cache or box you find for a chance at loot. These often contain keys along with weapons, tacticals, and cash.
Prioritize caches at high tier zones like Building 21 or Saw Mill for better odds at rare keys.
4. Purchasing Key Drops
Visit a Buy Station and purchase a Key Drop for $5,000. This will reward you with a random DMZ key like the Farmer‘s Lunchbox.
I don‘t recommend relying on this heavily due to the steep price, but when you‘re flush with cash it can be worth rolling the dice.
Locating the Farmer‘s Lunchbox
Once you‘ve secured the Farmer‘s Lunchbox key, here are easy steps for finding the locked Lunchbox itself:
- Drop into a DMZ match and open your map
- Navigate to the area labeled "Oganikku Farms" at coordinate D4
- Land near Oganikku Farms and make your way south of Saw Mill
- Enter the small shack and look for the Farmer‘s Lunchbox on the floor
- Interact with it to use your key and unlock sweet rewards!
Pro tip: Have a loaded weapon ready in case enemy squads had the same idea.

As you can see, Oganikku Farms is just southwest of the Saw Mill POI. Reference the map as needed to pinpoint the small shack.
Gearing Up Your Loadout to Dominate
Before dropping in to open the Lunchbox, I recommend equipping a powerful DMZ loadout tuned for dominance.
Based on my extensive experience, here are the optimal weapon classes and attachments:
Long Range:
- TAQ-56 (Assault Rifle) – Extended mags, suppressor, VLK 4.0 Optic
Close Quarters:
- Bas-P (SMG) – LB-60 mag, slight of hand, collapsible stock
This combo allows you to win any engagement. Delete enemies silently at range with the TAQ then dominate up close with the Bas-P.
For equipment, always carry smoke and flash grenades. Stims for quick healing and munitions box to build Killstreaks.
Extracting Safely with Your Loot
Now that you‘ve opened the Farmer‘s Lunchbox and scored killer items, it‘s time to exfil safely.
Here are my tips for secure extractions:
- Pop smoke grenades when capturing exfil sites to avoid sniper fire
- Listen closely for enemy footsteps rushing your location
- Never exfil with less than 60 seconds left, in case you need backup plans
- Bring a saber to quickly slash through hordes of zombies near exfils
- Use vehicle extractions when possible to avoid exposure on foot
Follow this guidance and you‘ll evacuate with the epic Farmer‘s Lunchbox loot time and time again!
