In Modern Warfare 4 DMZ, the Gun Store Weapons Locker is one of those high-value spots that can reward you if you know the map well enough. That said, to open the Weapons Locker, you must get the key from progression kits, not random loot. You have to then use it on three locked cabinets that are sitting in the basement of the gun store.
Once you get the key from kits, the description itself will point you towards the right grid square on the map. In this guide, I will explain how to find the Gun Store Weapon Locker in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ.
Where to Find the Gun Store Weapons Locker in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 DMZ
You have to do the following things to get to the Gun Store Weapons Locker in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ:
First, you have to claim the Gun Store Weapons Locker Key from the Explosives Equipment Kit (DMZ Level 18) or the Trap Equipment Kit (Level 42).
Then head to one of the two gun-store spots, which are tracked on the interactive Hajin maps. I found one near the casino. Much like the Police Stations, the Gun Store will also have its unique look.
The Weapons Locker will be in the basement of the store. Search the building for basement access, clear the approach, and then open the three locked cabinets inside.
The key itself is a level-up reward rather than something you can find on the field. Open the Survival Kits station at your Forward Operating Base (FOB), and claim the relevant kit when you hit the level. Then transfer the key into your Stash and equip it on an Operator before you deploy. Leaving it in the Stash also means you can’t use it during the run.
When looking for the gun store basement, there are certain reference points you should look out for. Do the following when you reach the building:
Look for a way down to the basement. The access can be through stairs, a rear entrance, or a lower-level access, rather than expecting the key to open every street-level door. Clear the surroundings; otherwise, the enemies can interrupt your looting.
Once inside the building, look for the three locked cabinets and check the lock prompt to confirm it requires the Gun Store Weapons Locker Key before you use it.
Getting the Key
| Kit | DMZ Level | Key Included |
| Explosives Equipment Kit | 16 | Gun Store Weapons Locker Key |
| Trap Equipment Kit | 42 | Gun Store Weapons Locker Key |
You can claim the required kit at the FOB Survival Kits station in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ, open it, and move the key into your loadout. Do remember that this is separate from the Black Market Weapons Locker Key, which comes with the Level 46 Recon Equipment Kit and is also used at a different location in the Hanrim Village shop stockroom.
Tips for Using the Key in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ
- Match the full key name before heading to the Gun Store. The store and Black Market keys do look similar in artwork but open completely different locks.
- Leave sufficient inventory space. The cabinets hold weapons and related gear. So there is no guaranteed specific drop.
- The key may consume uses depending on how many cabinets you open. Hence, check remaining uses after the first one.
- If a lock prompt names a different key, I recommend stopping and double-checking what you have equipped.
That is the complete method of locating and opening the Gun Store Weapons Locker using the key from the necessary equipment kits. Grab the required key from the level kits, head to the Gun Store basement, and open the weapons locker to get the loot. It is a great way to upgrade and collect gear in Modern Warfare 4 DMZ.
