MW4 DMZ loot routes: every route on one Hajin map, compared

The short version

There are now fourteen loot routes and farming runs on the site, from seven creators, and they overlap. This page puts them side by side and then adds the newest: B Man's compound belt run, a raid of about 28 minutes that works Compound Delta, Echo, Bravo, Alpha and Charlie, takes an optional detour into The Citadel, finishes at Compound Foxtrot and leaves from the Chang-san Air Base. He says it is good for gold skulls, gold bars, blueprints and weapon manuals, and in his run it gave a manual, a gold bar and a Secure Scavenger Backpack blueprint with a loot value of 209,000. We compared his video with every loot page we already had. Most of the route repeats what MrDalekJD, IceManIsaac and Schlayer showed, so we write up only what is new: where a Secure Scavenger Backpack recipe dropped, a gold bar claim, two new key sources and a different way to use the Citadel. Where creators disagree, for example about what sits in each compound safe, we show both sides and do not pick a winner. Every route is on the Hajin map in a new Loot routes section. The newest row is MrDalekJD's Irradiated Container farm, added on 28 October 2026. It goes for weapon manuals through the Air Base, two fire stations, Mirae General Hospital and the Haneul Nuclear Reactor, and the fire station key room is new to us. We folded it into our Irradiated Containers guide, where the detail lives, and list it here so you can compare it with the other twelve. A newer row, added on 31 October 2026, is MrDalekJD's bank vaults and safe loot run. It works five bank vaults and the compound safes between them, and it has its own guide with the keypad codes from his raid and a 17-step route on the map. The newest row, added on 6 November 2026, is IceManIsaac Academy's solo compound to train run, which has its own guide. It is not on the map, because his video names only some of the places.

How to read this page

A route here is a creator's recorded run, not a guarantee. Times, item names and numbers are theirs unless we say we read them ourselves, and we have not tested any of it. The Map placement column says how well we could place a route: a GPS path means we matched the creator's minimap to our map and drew a path between the stops, points only means we pinned the stops without a path, and layer only means the places are pinned but no route is drawn. Safe contents change between raids, so one run proves little. Patches can change any of this: one route here, TheGigaDad's Chang-san bunker run, was patched on 25 October 2026 and is kept only for reference.

What B Man adds that we did not have

Five things are new to us. Each is his claim or his on-screen card, and none is tested by us. The Secure Scavenger Backpack recipe has a source. Our 3D printer recipe pages list its parts, and until now no run on the site showed where one drops. In B Man's run a safe at Compound Alpha held the recipe, which his card shows as a 3D Printer Recipe worth 5,000, and he calls it an ultra blueprint. MrDalekJD opened an Alpha safe and saw other items, so treat it as one run's result. Gold bars are a target. Only MrDalekJD's bank vaults run lists them too, with four gold bars in his secure slots. B Man says the Charlie safe gave him one this run, and that Bravo gave him a gold bar two runs ago and a gold skull one run ago. We did not read an item card for the Charlie bar, so that part is his word. Two key sources are on our map now. A Haksan School Armory key lay in a jacket at Compound Charlie (card 20:13), which fills the blank in our keys layer for that door, and a Blackmarket Weapons Locker key lay in a duffel at Compound Foxtrot (28:57). Both are single sightings. He also says the green tagged key at Echo is always in the first building. We read it as the Gangbyeon Apartment B key, he does not name the door, and Incredilags says that key's spot changes per raid. The Citadel works as an extension. IceManIsaac's Iron Citadel guide covers the dog, battery and green key chain on its own. B Man bolts it onto a compound run, says you need free slots for the batteries and calls it optional. This time it gave him nothing of value. One hypothesis worth testing. He suspects some items are location variant, meaning each place has its own list, so looting several places gives more variety. It is a feeling and not a test, and we have not checked it.

The Citadel extension and what may be patched

The Citadel steps in his order: with free slots, kill four dogs and take each blue battery before the dog dies, put the four in, take the green key, use it for the room that holds the legendary (gold) key, then open the prison loot room. He says this run was more hectic than usual and that he ran out of ammo and went out for some. It is the same chain IceManIsaac shows, so our Iron Citadel guide has the detail. Two fragile things appear in the video, and we describe them without making either one a step. First, at 23:44 B Man shows what he calls an easy way to kill the Colossus. The auto-captions do not capture the method and we have not tried it, so treat it as untested and possibly patched. Second, he shows how he selects the locked Operation Fallen Ember tile (1:54 to 2:22): pick the tile below it, then press up quickly. That is a menu timing trick that may be fixed or patched, and he says you can spawn anywhere instead. The route works without either.

On the map: the Loot routes section

The Routes list on the Hajin map now has a Loot routes section with ten routes: MrDalekJD's bank vaults run, B Man's belt, IceManIsaac's Re-Education Center and Irradiated Container routes, MrDalekJD's Air Base and fire station route, the Chang-san three buildings, Schlayer's Peak Array, MrDalekJD's compound farm, IceManIsaac's gold key run and TheSpazo's clinic loop. The key rooms and the boss hunts sit in their own sections below it. Pick a route to draw it in orange, then use Play, Step and Back. The turn-by-turn line, the distance left, a step card with our own map crop, Watch this moment for the creator's video and Read guide all work. Seven of the ten have a drawn path: MrDalekJD's bank vaults run, B Man's, the Re-Education Center, the reactor and hospital route, MrDalekJD's Air Base and fire station route, the Chang-san three buildings and Schlayer's Peak Array. The other three are points only, because their videos do not show the roads. B Man's route has eleven steps registered from his minimap to a building and not a room. The map also has six new B Man pins on the Farm runs layer, one for each compound, and two key sources on the keys layers, all low confidence. MrDalekJD's route is sixteen steps registered from his minimap, and the Farm runs layer also rings the two fire stations he entered, with the other four official fire stations on the Fire stations layer. The link /dmz/map/?routes=loot opens the panel on the Loot routes section. MrDalekJD's bank vaults route has seventeen steps registered from his minimap, and the Farm runs layer has six more pins, one for each of the five bank vaults and the Songdo Wharf hut safe, plus a new Blackmarket Weapons Locker key source, all low confidence.

What we checked, and where Wing Mait fits

We have not played any of these routes. The table, the item names and the timestamps are our reading of the creators' videos, and the numbers are theirs. We compared B Man's video with every loot page on the site before writing this one. Positions come from matching his corner minimap to the Official skin of our Hajin map, which is good to a building. The only readings of our own are these: the green tagged key as the Gangbyeon Apartment B key, the prison as The Citadel, and the caption Val 46 as VEL 46. Patches can change any of this. Everything these routes rely on is on-screen text: compound names, item cards, key cards and the extraction screen. Reading that text is what Wing Mait does, so a callout can tell you which safe you just opened without you looking away. DMZ support is in development, and Wing Mait doesn't read game memory, inject anything or send inputs to the game.
