The new season of Modern Warfare 2 has finally dropped, and with it comes a whole gamut of new content and changes to multiple popular game modes. One game mode that has undergone a major makeover is DMZ, which has added a ton of different mechanics that will force players to adjust their gameplan on both available maps.
A new NPC enemy has joined the fight called the Scavenger. This mini boss is a feared combatant who can be found on the shores of Ashika Island and is a heavily-armed and armored enemy that will gun you down to steal your hard-earned loot.

You can’t find this special enemy in any area, though. This mini boss can only be found in select areas on specific maps, along with him being a random spawn.
How to find DMZ’s Scavenger mini boss
The Scavenger can be found near the shores of Ashika Island or on the sandy dunes of Al Mazrah. He won’t be found on one specific area on the map, but when you do find him, he’ll be flanked by a whole squad of special forces that are well-armed and have full armor.
The game will warn you when you’ve approached the area where he spawned, and a new moving icon will appear on your map. Overwatch will first say “multiple operators have gone missing in your area,” before marking their last known location on the map.
As you search in the marked areas, there should be some leftover backpacks on the ground from players who fell in battle. When you search the bodies, they will have the Scavenger’s calling card instead of their dog tags. Players will normally have to find his calling card in three separate areas, before his true location is revealed—although in some rare instances, he can appear almost immediately.

He will also be dressed in a black Ghillie suit, making him pretty easy to spot if he’s not in an area with a lot of foliage. He also constantly screams out voice lines like “first I’ll take your life, then I’ll take your gear.” The boss is rolling out in a good amount of armor too, which makes him tough to take down unless you can find an angle where you can continuously shoot him in the head.
Once you take down the Scavenger and his crew, the game will say that the Scavenger is “EKIA.” He also drops a whole armory worth of weapons and gear, from special backpacks, decked-out weapons, kill streaks, and even high-value loot like golden skulls and bars.
