Cartel Warehouse key DMZ: How to find it and where to use it

Call of Duty: Warzone season three brought tons of new content to the popular DMZ game mode, including the new Redacted faction and its Dark Waters mission. But many players have had issues locating the Cartel Warehouse key from the eastern sunken ship.

This task, under the Dark Waters mission, requires players to complete several steps before undertaking the task. Before setting out, players should acquire a Rebreather to find the Cartel Warehouse key.

Though the rebreather will allow players to stay submerged underwater for prolonged periods of time, I should let you know it will not help if you do not know where you should be looking. If you need help finding the Cartel Warehouse key in Warzone 2 DMZ, I’ve got you covered.

Where to find the Cartel Warehouse key in DMZ

Before starting the Dark Waters mission in DMZ, you must acquire the Cartel Warehouse key from a sunken ship. This crashed vessel can be found in the southernmost part of Al Mazrah, off the coast of Sariff Bay. The exact position of the sunken ship can be found on the map below.

After finding the sunken vessel, players will need to equip their rebreather and dive into the depths below. Continue to delve further into the water until you see the large opening at the bottom of the ship.

From here, swim through the hull’s breach and venture to the back left of the cargo ship. This ship is a massively sprawling area, so players will likely need to take multiple hits of their rebreather to avoid drowning. Eventually, players will encounter a locker room. Simply go to the back wall and you should see the Cartel Warehouse key on a table.

How to use the Cartel Warehouse key from the sunken ship in DMZ

Now that you have the Cartel Warehouse key, it is time to find the warehouse itself and locate the laptop necessary to complete the mission. The Cartel Warehouse is located at Haif Port, found in the western portion of Al Mazrah.

I want to warn you that should enter this area with extreme caution as there will be a nearby stronghold with dozens of enemies waiting for you. I first tried to approach this area on my own, but after several failed attempts, I eventually came back with squad mates and easily cleared out the location.

Once you locate the building seen on the map above, simply use the onscreen prompt to enter the Cartel Warehouse. The laptop necessary to complete Dark Waters can be found on the shelves closest to the door. I would heavily recommend looting the entire room, however, as there is plenty of loot that you will find useful.
