Where to find the Ashika Island IR beacon in DMZ

The Ashika Island IR beacon is a vital mission objective for Look Out, the White Lotus faction missions in DMZ. Since the launch of season four, faction mission progress and reputation have become much more valuable, as they’re a necessity for unlocking various DMZ upgrades such as extra insured weapon slots, stash size upgrades, and more.

The Look Out mission requires you to take the beacon from its rocky, coastal spot to the roof of Tsuki Castle. However, the IR beacon’s location is understandably confusing some players.

Need to find the Ashika Island IR beacon? Here’s where to look.

Exact Ashika Island IR beacon location in DMZ

The Ashika Island IR beacon is located in the northwestern corner of the Ashika Island map. And when we say the map, we don’t mean the Ashika Island landmass, we mean you have to swim or ride a boat out to the very edge of the playable area.

The beacon itself is located in the E1 coordinate, on the rocks right below where the northern edge of the map is. If you happen to get a northern coast spawn, you’re in luck. Swim or drive a boat toward the spot we’ve marked on the map above, and find the rock formation. The beacon will be on top of the rock formation.

Where to take the Ashika Island IR beacon in DMZ?

To complete the Look Out mission, take the IR beacon with you to the roof of Tsuki Castle. You will need to reach the highest point of the castle, where you will find a prompt to place the beacon.

Getting to the top of the castle is not as hard as getting into it, but you will still have to deal with lots of armored enemy AI combatants. What made this mission a bit easier to complete for me was using the rock formations to parachute onto a part of the roof to give myself a better start. From there it was simply a matter of reaching the high point of the castle without succumbing to enemy fire.
