The MW2 DMZ Scientist Apartment key is found randomly during your adventures around Al Mazrah. The most common ways to gain the key is by killing enemies and looting them, finishing HVT contracts, or looting containers.

The building with the Scientist's Apartment can be found toward the south of the area, below the southernmost dome and to the east. You'll know you're in the right building if you head inside and find the staircase in the middle of the building.

Head up the stairs to the first floor, and take a left. At the end of the hall, you will find a door with a white X spray-painted on the front. Use the key and then head inside to collect your loot.

As always, you will need to be careful when approaching this area as there are plenty of AI foes either on the approach to the key location or directly surrounding the key. Your best course of action is to either approach with an armoured vehicle - both for speed and protection - or to jump in with a squad who can protect you.

Regardless, you're definitely going to want to take it slow, as you never know what is lurking around each corner. There's nothing worse than feeling like you're close and then getting dropped by an enemy you didn't see and sent straight back to the lobby screen.

Using the key will grant you access to a wide assortment of various loot. Items with monetary value will be your most likely reward, but you could also get a kitted-out weapon or even a key if you're lucky. Just make sure to get to the nearest extraction point, as otherwise, your efforts will have been for nothing.

So, that's everything you need to know about the MW2 DMZ Scientist Apartment key location, giving you the details of how to get there. Make sure to check out our MW2 DMZ key locations guide for a hub of every spot we've covered so far in the extraction game mode.
