How to get a DMZ key card
Obtaining a DMZ key card is incredibly straightforward and often involves a bit of luck. You can earn one from the bodies of AI, completing contracts that feature a high-value target, or opening the supply drops dotted all over the map. There's no way to guarantee a key appears but if you utilise the above methods, the chances of finding one are much higher.
That's everything there is to know about the DMZ key card locations. For more Call of Duty, take a look at our Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 page for all there is to know about multiplayer and the battle royale.
