The map

Hajin became Warzone’s main Battle Royale map when Season 1 started on November 6, 2026. It’s set in an exclusion zone across North and South Korea, and it’s the same region DMZ uses. Activision hasn’t published a size, but calls it one of the largest Call of Duty maps. It has 13 major POIs spread over city, industrial, farmland, river and mountain areas.

The 13 major POIs

These names and positions come from the DMZ map of Hajin. Warzone guides use the same names, but no source spells out whether the Battle Royale layout matches DMZ exactly.

Chang-san Air Base West Hillside air base over a large underground bunker

Weather

One weather condition is rolled at the start of every match, and it reaches the Gulag too, because both Hajin Gulag arenas are outdoors. You can toggle night vision with a key press.

Where to drop

Use the picker below to filter drops by playstyle, or let it choose one for you. In short: The Grid is the hot drop, and Mirae General Hospital, Imjin Farmland and Songdo Wharf are the calmer starts. Hajin City as a whole (The Grid, NuriGO Mall, Songdo Wharf, Wolves Stadium) has plenty of buildings and several ways out, which suits aggressive squads.
