Lieutenants, Commanders and Key Rooms

Every DMZ boss: where each Lieutenant spawns, the loot room their key opens, their signature weapon, and the Commanders you can't buy intel on.

Lieutenants

Lieutenants are DMZ’s hunted bosses. Buy intel on one at the Boss Board in your base. It lasts one deployment, and some need challenges done first. A Hunt Tower in the field marks the nearest Lieutenant for free.

Every Lieutenant drops a Dog Tag Case. It’s marked on everyone’s map, and picking it up gives away where you are. You have to extract with the case to move up the Boss Board, so only grab it when you’re ready to leave. Lieutenants can also drop their signature weapon or the key to their loot room. Keep keys in a Secure Slot.

The spawns, key rooms and signature weapons in the list come from games.gg. Activision has confirmed Bale, Gorani, Iskra and the Warden by name. For two bosses, games.gg and Activision give different locations, and the list shows both. Spawns may vary between matches. Guides also disagree on the total: games.gg lists 10 Lieutenants before Season 1 added two more.

Commanders

Commanders are always in the match. You can’t buy intel on them, but your Tac Map marks them when you get close. Your first kill of each one pays cash, and they drop valuable crafting ingredients.

Season 1 added The Captain in X01 and an autonomous Wheelson to the launch three.

Boss board

Tick a boss off once you've extracted with their Dog Tag Case or killed them.
