Need Stronghold Keys in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II DMZ or Warzone 2? Learn how to find them from enemies and access locked areas for better loot and rewards.
Alright, so you're trying to get into those locked-down areas in DMZ and Warzone 2, huh? We're talking about Strongholds and those other doors with the big 'X' spray-painted on them. These are your gateways to Black Sites, which are basically super-powered Strongholds that pop up after you clear the first one. The cool part? The first team to take down a Stronghold gets a Black Site key, and you'll see those locations marked on your tactical map.
Now, for the keys themselves – specifically, the Stronghold Key Cards. The main way to snag these is by taking down the AI enemies hanging around the areas where these Strongholds are. It's not a guaranteed drop, but there's a decent chance that if you fight and loot the enemies you encounter, one of them will have a Stronghold Key Card on them. You can spot Strongholds on your tactical map; just look for the castle icon. Once you're inside, you'll get access to special missions that can seriously boost your rewards, whether you're grinding DMZ contracts or trying to gear up in Warzone 2.
So, to put it simply, the locations of these Strongholds and the keys you need are pretty random. If you're aiming to get into a Stronghold, whether it's to extract some sweet weapons or tick off challenges, your best bet is to be aggressive, hunt down enemies, and loot everything you can. Hopefully, the RNG gods are on your side with those key drops, so you and your squad can score some top-tier loot.
