Where to use the City Hall Hideout key in DMZ

This is the only way to acquire the Governor's Laptop.

On Call of Duty’s new DMZ battleground of Ashika Island, there are a ton of new locations that you can explore while trying to successfully extract with your hard-fought loot. Enemies of all kinds will try to impede your path, from strong AI combatants to players who are just as hungry to escape.

There is, however, one piece of loot that players have found among high-value targets that has confused a few people as they traverse the unique points of interest: the City Hall Hideout key. This key is a random drop, which means that any player can find it while taking down multiple high-value targets.

Where to use the key at Ashika Island Town Hall in DMZ

The City Hall Hideout key is used to open the Town Hall landmark/stronghold located on Ashika Island. The key is an essential piece for a new contract provided by a faction called Crown.

This contract is titled Whistleblower, and will feature three tasks that you’ll have to complete in order during a single deployment. The first task will be to acquire the Governor’s Laptop from the Ashika Island Town Hall, meaning you’ll need the City Hall Hideout key to even start it.

The Ashika Island Town Hall can be found in the Town Center portion of the map, which is located on the western coast and can be identified by its unique half-moon appearance from above. It can only be accessed once a player has the City Hall Hideout key in their inventory, which is where multiple heavily armored enemies will be waiting to fight. However, you can shoot enemies through the armored windows to deplete their numbers before going inside.

Meanwhile, the Governor’s Laptop can be found on the bottom floor of the building, on top of a filing cabinet among some computers and cubicles. The dead drop for this mission will be located across the street in a dumpster. Also note that you’ll need to deliver a screwdriver to the same dead drop, so during your travels, make sure to pick one up on the way.
