MW4 DMZ Prison Encampment Storage Key

Quick Answer

Use Prison Encampment Storage Key at the metal storage building with double wooden doors on the prison’s eastern outskirts.

The prison is in northwest Hajin. No guaranteed key drop or fixed loot reward is established.

On this page

The Prison Encampment Storage Key opens a storage building on the eastern outskirts of the 14th Political Prison. Look for a metal structure with double wooden doors among the outer buildings. You do not need to push deep into the Y-shaped Citadel to reach this storage destination.

The prison itself is in northwest Hajin, according to the official map tour. Treat the storage key as a specific door key, rather than an instruction to clear the entire prison.

Reach the outer storage building

Official overview of the 14th Political Prison, outer buildings and central Citadel

Use the perimeter and Y-shaped Citadel as landmarks. This overview does not pin the individual storage door.

  1. Locate 14th Political Prison on the Tac-Map and compare your key's name with Prison Encampment Storage.
  2. Approach the prison's eastern outer buildings, keeping the main prison walls and yard separate from your destination.
  3. Find the metal storage structure with two wooden doors.
  4. Check the locked-door interaction before using the key. It should match the storage destination rather than another room in the prison complex.
  5. Open it, loot the interior and choose your exit before remaining in the area for a longer fight.

This door description comes from Prima Games' October 27 storage guide. The small destination is the useful landmark here; a general prison marker alone covers a much larger and more dangerous area.

Separate the perimeter from the Citadel

The official tour lists the prison and Fortress Prison Yard as High threat, and the Citadel as Critical. It describes eastern barracks, a southern entrance and a walled yard containing the Y-shaped structure. Use those landmarks to keep your route on the appropriate side of the complex.

Other Operators and AI can still turn an outer-building visit into a fight. Clearing the whole prison is not listed as the storage-door prerequisite. Bring enough supplies for the approach and leave when the loot no longer justifies the additional exposure.

Find the key before committing to the trip

Prima Games does not identify a guaranteed source for this key. It can appear elsewhere on Hajin, so searching only around the prison is not a verified farming method.

If you find it during a different objective, you can put it in your Stash after extraction and plan a later deployment around the storage visit. Before leaving the FOB, make sure the key is actually in the deploying Operator's backpack, rather than still stored at the base.

Bring back the loot that matters

Search the room's containers, but do not expect a fixed weapon, recipe or ingredient from every opening. Prima Games does not publish a guaranteed loot table for this room.

A Backpack's Secure Slots, when available, protect eligible items placed there if you fail to exfil. The rest of the backpack still depends on successful extraction. Check the slot you used rather than assuming every item is protected just because the Backpack has a secure compartment.
