MW4 DMZ Hajin map guide: every POI and threat level
Hajin has 13 major points of interest and more than 60 named locations. Every zone has a starting threat level from Low to Extreme. For your first deployments, the safest areas are Songdo Wharf, Mirae General Hospital and Cheongun Village. The most dangerous are the Nenshin Tech Complex and the Chang-san Air Base bunker.
Threat level by zone
These are starting threat levels for AI enemies before any fighting. Combat raises them, and other players are not counted.
Major points of interest
14th Political Prison
Prison HighThe Fortress Prison Yard HighThe Citadel Critical
A walled detention complex on a cleared plateau in the North Korean wilderness. It has watchtowers at every corner, the main gate and checkpoint on the south side, barracks to the east and construction work on the eastern edge. The Citadel at its center is a Y-shaped maze of gantries, cell blocks and a furnace room.
- Clear the watchtowers before you cross the open approach.
- Inside the Citadel, sound bounces off the steel walkways and squads get split up easily, so keep your team together.
Chang-san Air Base
Air Base Exterior CriticalAir Base Bunker Extreme
A large North Korean air base built into a granite hillside. It has a hospital, helipad, jet runway, barracks, supply depots and a command building. Beneath it is a bunker and tunnel network that Activision says is larger than the base above.
- Cliffs block the eastern side. Official recon notes the wooded high ground to the south as a known way in.
- The bunker is one of the two Extreme-threat zones Activision has named. Bring a full squad.
Deadtown
Deadtown Exterior LowRe-Education Center Medium
An abandoned North Korean farming town now held by the military, with toxic rivers on two sides and sewers running beneath it. It has a Clinic, a Gas Station at each end of town and two Re-Education Centers where enemy numbers build up.
- The outskirts are a good low-threat place to start looting on early deployments.
- The higher eastern side of town has newer buildings where military storage is disguised as housing.
Imjin Farmland
Farmland Exterior LowJeong Loading Dock LowRice Mill Medium
A flat floodplain of rice fields, waterways and rail lines that meet at a large Rice Mill. Cover is sparse and sightlines are long. The Mill is the high point that controls the area.
- Long sightlines here favor marksman rifles and vehicle movement.
- Approach through the warehouses and switch to a close-range weapon once you are inside the Mill.
Cheongun Village
Cheongun Village LowRussian Border Crossing LowCheongun Outskirts LowHeavenly Luck Casino HighRussian Border Low
The northernmost South Korean area on the map, a village split between border posts and bounded by Expressway No. 1 to the south. The multi-floor Heavenly Luck Casino and its underground parking dominate it.
- The casino has no power, so Activision recommends NVGs inside.
- Everything here except the casino is listed as Low threat.
Mirae General Hospital
Mirae General Hospital Low
The main hospital for Hajin, next to a train station and close to NuriGO Mall and The Grid. Triage tents and temporary barracks surround it, and inside are large color-coded wards made for close-quarters fighting.
- Watch the wooded ridge to the south (Mujin Pass), where Activision warns of snipers.
- The color-coded signs on each floor help you find your way through the building.
Cheonwang Peak Array
Cheonwang Peak Array Medium
Hajin’s largest telecom array, on a flat summit surrounded by wilderness. The enemy has taken it over and turned its buildings into barracks. The roof has a helipad and long views over the area.
- Trails wind between large boulders to the west. Learn them before you try to escape that way.
- The rooftop gives you long-range overwatch, but you are exposed up there.
Haneul Nuclear Reactor
Reactor HighSouth Korean Border Zone Medium
A damaged nuclear plant with a cloud of radioactive vapor settled over it. Reactor 02 and the containment block are breached, and Reactor 01 is described as stable "for now".
- You need radiation protection and a gas mask. Fire Stations are a listed source of Radiation Gear.
- Activision mentions two other ways in: by water, or through a tunnel from Compound Delta to the southwest.
NuriGO Mall
NuriGO East MediumNuriGO West High
A shopping district with a police station, clinic, City Hall and a monorail station. A courtyard with three circular structures leads down to a large underground mall with no power.
- Bring NVGs for the underground mall.
- Activision’s own field story describes robot K9 enemies in the tunnels below.
- The police station here has a locked Armory room: bring a Police Station Armory Key, since the weapons and Weapon Manuals are behind that door.
The Grid
The Grid CriticalNenshin Tech Complex ExtremeDBN Headquarters CriticalHanex Bank CriticalMinsok Art School CriticalConstruction Zone Critical
The fortified central business district, walled off with steel plating and razor wire. It includes the DBN TV tower (the tallest building in Hajin), the red-roofed twin towers of the Nenshin Tech Complex, Hotel Lucera and a construction zone spread over several blocks.
- There are few ways out at street level, so plan your exfil before you go in.
- Fights happen both on rooftops and at street level.
Songdo Wharf
Songdo Wharf LowOamsik Turtle Island LowShoreline Station Low
A waterfront district between the reactor and the south fork of the Hajin River. It has the La Grande Vie apartment tower, a seaside market, a pier and lighthouse, and working train and monorail stations.
- Every zone here is Low threat.
- The working train and monorail lines run through this area.
Wolves Stadium
Wolves Stadium MediumTheatre Medium
A ruined baseball stadium surrounded by mixed-use streets, a police station, a bank and an abandoned open-air theatre. The northern edge, where it borders The Grid, is described as the most dangerous part.
- Follow the elevated monorail southwest to reach Ginyeom-il Bridge.
- There is a police station next to the stadium; its locked Armory needs a Police Station Armory Key, so loot the surrounding rooms first and save the key for a full backpack run.
Hajin River Heights
Hajin River Heights MediumSouth Island MediumJinseo Park Towers Medium
A heavily damaged residential area of apartments and narrow shopping streets. One apartment building has become a military position called Compound Echo, and the concrete Jinseo Park Towers lie further south.
- Compound Echo is a fortified enemy position, so expect armored vehicles and tough resistance.
Minor locations
- Hajin River
- Tong-il Village
- Revolution Dam
- Pyonghwa Village
- Imjin Suburb
- Mujin Pass
- Daesong Ridge
- Namjin Riverside
The map grid runs from letters (west to east) to numbers (north to south). D7, for example, is Imjin Farmland, and every key's description includes a grid reference.
What each building type is good for
| Location type | Why go there |
|---|---|
| Gas Stations / Marine Gas Stations | Repair and refuel vehicles and refill Gas Cans. Vehicles in DMZ need fuel and repairs. |
| Fire Stations (red) | Radiation Gear and Parachutes. Expect enemies. |
| Police Stations (blue) | Military gear and a locked Armory. |
| Clinics (green) | Medical loot. Watch for players waiting to ambush the wounded. |
| Compounds | Better loot and intel, plus armored vehicles such as the LTV. They are heavily defended, so a stealthy approach helps. |
| Ammo & Armor Caches | Restock ammo and plates. Each cache has a cooldown after use. |
| UAV Towers | A Side Op that pays DMZ Cash and pings nearby enemies and Operators. |
| SAM Sites | Capture one and it shoots down enemy aircraft, which helps against Deathstalkers, as long as you stay nearby. |
| Lieutenant Hunt towers | Show roughly where a nearby Lieutenant is. |
| Bounty Stations | Buy intel on Wanted players or pay off your own Bounty. |
Exfil
Exfil sites, marked by green smoke, rotate from a pool of locations. Call the helicopter and hold the site until it lands. A Fulton balloon or a Flare also works, but a flare is loud and visible from far away. Other squads often wait at exfils to ambush you.
FAQ
What is the most dangerous place in Hajin?
Activision rates two zones Extreme: the Nenshin Tech Complex in The Grid and the bunker under Chang-san Air Base. The rest of The Grid and the outside of the air base are rated Critical.
Where is the safest place to loot in DMZ?
Every zone at Songdo Wharf, Mirae General Hospital and Cheongun Village (except the casino) is rated Low threat, and so are the Deadtown outskirts and Imjin Farmland. Other players can still show up anywhere, because threat levels only describe AI enemies.
How do I get into the Haneul Nuclear Reactor?
You need radiation gear and a gas mask, and Fire Stations are a listed place to find Radiation Gear. Activision mentions two other routes in: by water, or through a tunnel from Compound Delta to the southwest.
Where do I find Radiation Gear and Parachutes?
Search Fire Stations. Police Stations have military gear and a locked Armory, and Clinics (the green buildings) have medical loot.
