Call of Duty fans, are you ready to up your DMZ game and get your hands on some of the rarest, most powerful weapons and rewards in Warzone 2? Then you need to add the Captain‘s Cache Key to your collection. This key unlocks a stash of elite high-tier loot, making it one of the most coveted prizes for operators braving the dangers of Al Mazrah.
In this comprehensive 2800+ word guide, I‘ll provide everything you need to know about getting your hands on the Captain‘s Cache Key. As a DMZ expert and gaming streamer with hundreds of hours extracting loot, I‘ll walk you through exactly how to find the key, defeat its AI guardians, and unlock rewards that will supercharge your future exfiltrations. Let‘s get started!
First, What is the Captain‘s Cache Key Exactly?
DMZ‘s new extraction mode allows you to build an arsenal of weapons, gear and contraband loot to take from match to match. This persistent inventory mechanic is a huge part of DMZ‘s fun – you constantly want to find and extract with new goodies.
Scattered around Al Mazrah are locked rooms known as Caches that require specific keys to open. Each cache contains specialized loot, and the Captain‘s Cache is unanimously considered to contain the rarest, most meta prizes you can add to your collection.
I‘m talking ultra powerful weapons like the Rapp H and M13B, deadly Killstreaks to terrorize enemies, specialized prototypes, piles of armor plates – pure gold for dominating DMZ. That‘s why the key to unlock this loot stash is so coveted.
Where to Find the Captain‘s Cache Key
Now let‘s get to the good stuff – where to find this valuable key so you can get your hands on the Cache‘s sweet, sweet prizes.
The key‘s location might surprise you – it‘s located in a shipwreck off Al Mazrah‘s southern coast, in the ocean between the Mawizeh Marshlands and Zarqwa Hydroelectric areas.
Specifically, it spawns inside a grey duffel bag atop the wrecked ship lodged between rocks just offshore. Be ready for a fight though – the shipwreck is deep in hostile territory. You‘ll need to battle AI enemies on land and sea to secure the key.
Approaching the Shipwreck
Since the wreck is surrounded by water, you‘ll need a watercraft to reach it. Find a boat, jet ski, or RHIB and set a course south from any shoreline.
The east side of the map provides the most direct path. Push off from the Hydroelectric or Mawizeh regions and throttle straight north. If you‘re on the west coast, depart from Maruwah or Sa‘id City, hopping between small islands.
I like inserting at the Observatory then tracking down a boat at the northern marina to minimize time on the water. However you approach, watch for patrolling enemies along the beaches.
Clearing the Shipwreck
As you close in on the shipwreck‘s location, you‘ll need to clear the enemies guarding it before attempting to board. The shipwreck has vantage over the open water, so a sniper rifle is great for picking off defenders at a distance.
The SP-R 208 has low bullet drop for those long shots. Once you‘ve trimmed down numbers, move in with an SMG like the FSS Hurricane to clear close quarters combat inside the boat.
Cold-Blooded and Dead Silence are great perks for stealth, and DON‘T forget Target Identification – you don‘t want to grab the wrong duffel bag by accident!
Looting the Key
Okay, time for the moment you‘ve been waiting for – securing the key! Once all enemies are down, dock your watercraft and carefully climb up the wrecked ship.
The grey duffel bag with the key is on the exposed deck at the top. Interact with it and that coveted key is yours!
Now comes the stressful part – exfiltrating safely with your prize. Having a teammate run distractions helps, and pop a UAV before crossing open water. With persistence and skill, this rare key CAN be yours!
Unlocking the Cache of Epic Loot
You‘ve made it out of DMZ with the Captain‘s Cache Key – congrats! Now it‘s time to open the Cache itself and collect your rewards.
The Cache can be found on the west coast of Al Mazrah, in a crashed cargo ship inland from the Sa‘id City at the edge of the swamplands. Expect heavy enemy presence near the lucrative Cache – go in quiet and ready for a fight.
When you‘re geared up, interact with the locked blue crate door to use your newly acquired key. Get ready for loot explosion!
Inside awaits piles of cash, deadly Killstreaks like Cluster Bombs, lethal prototypes such as the Victus XMR, and meta loadout weapons including the Rapp H, M13B, and more. You‘ll also find lots of armor plates to keep you in the fight longer.
Just beware – make sure you have empty inventory space before opening the Cache, or you risk losing out on your hard-earned rewards!
