Warzone 2.0‘s new DMZ mode has introduced an expansive sandbox battlefield with intriguing mechanics to master. One of the most valuable is acquiring and leveraging the Police Academy key for top-tier loot rewards. This guide will provide an in-depth walkthrough on optimizing your Police Academy key runs.
Overview of Police Academy in DMZ
The Police Academy is situated in a prime location, along the southeastern coast of Al Mazrah. Structurally, it consists of a large 2-story central building, surrounded by courtyards and smaller outer buildings within a fenced perimeter.
Inside, the first floor contains classrooms, offices, locker rooms, and reception areas to loot. The second floor houses living quarters, storage closets, and most importantly, the armory supply room.
Acquiring the Coveted Police Academy Key
The Police Academy key has a low ~1.5% drop rate from:
- Supply boxes: 50% drop rate
- HVT contracts: 25% drop rate
- Eliminating heavy enemies: 20% drop rate
- Weapon crates: 5% drop rate
I‘ve found the most reliable method is looting supply boxes across the map to acquire it. With an average of 65 boxes looted per key, it takes dedication, but pays off.
Unlocking the Lucrative Armory Supply Room
Upon acquiring the key, immediately head to the 2nd floor armory in the Police Academy‘s central building. It‘s located at the far right side when facing the front entrance.
The key can only be used 3 times before disappearing, so make sure your squad is ready to grab the sweet loot within:
- Killstreaks – Cluster Bomb, EMP Drone
- Armor satchel, munitions box
- DMZ-exclusive weapon blueprint – .50 GS ‘Oil Slick‘
- Fennec SMG, Basilisk AR
- Fully-kitted Vaznev-9k, Lachmann Sub
- $5,000 – $10,000 cash
- 3 armor plates
Tips for Flawless Armory Runs
- Have teammates cover stairs when unlocking to prevent ambushes
- Clear surrounding area and activate UAV beforehand
- Consider helicopter rooftop access to avoid fighting through interior
- Ping key for squad to coordinate optimal use
- Don‘t waste uses on random exterior doors
Comparing Police Academy to Other Key Locations
The Police Academy provides more consistent quality loot compared to places like the CH7 Records Room. Though the Sawah Villas Hold Room and IHTAQ Warehouse offer similar rewards.
Overall, the Police Academy strikes the best balance of key accessibility, loot value, and location. The IHTAQ Warehouse key is similarly rewarding, but harder to obtain consistently.
Mastering the Police Academy Key
With some dedication and the right strategy, the Police Academy key can be an invaluable asset in DMZ. This guide should provide expert advice on effectively leveraging this coveted key for maximizing your rewards.
