Warzone 2 players will find all sorts of activities to do after hopping into the new DMZ mode, including interrogating enemies, driving vehicles, and completing missions for three different Factions.

One of the Legion Faction missions tasks you with obtaining a Stronghold Keycard. If you’re not sure where to look for this item in Warzone 2’s DMZ mode then we’ve got you covered.

You can get the Stronghold Keycard by purchasing it from a Buy Station for $5,000. If you want to save up on cash then you can also take out and loot one of the AQ guards near the Stronghold building.

Another way is to kill other players who already have the Stronghold Keycard and then loot it from them. This Warzone 2 DMZ Faction mission doesn’t require you to obtain the item through any specific means, so it’s up to you how you want to approach this.

After you’ve acquired the Keycard, you can visit any one of the Strongholds on the map and collect all the rare loot that you’ll find inside. These structures are marked by a white castle icon on the minimap.

If you collected the Keycard from one of the AQ Guards near the building then you can try entering that Stronghold. However, this won’t prove to be an easy task as these AI enemies will start attacking you.

You can make things a bit easier by doing this with a squad, so just head to Warzone 2’s Social tab and invite a few friends to join you. Once you and your team have infiltrated the Stronghold, you can start collecting the resources you find inside.
