So many Keys to find, and such little time to figure out what is worth your time and energy. Whilst the main focus on DMZ is your survival through the process of completing Faction Missions, there are those Special DMZ Keys that we cannot wait to get our hands on. Even though part of the surprise in finding these Keys is what reward you will get once you unlock the space, having spent the last half hour searching for the locked room just to be disappointed by a Grey Crate can be one of the worst feelings in the world. So whether you are playing with a team that requires a consistently large sum of cash to progress through their deployment, or looking to upgrade your gear early inside the DMZ, this guide will show you the best DMZ Keys to use in both Al Mazrah and Ashika Island as of Season 2. This is our DMZ Key Tier List.

DMZ Key Tier List – Al Mazrah
Being that there are significantly more Keys available to obtain and find their locked spaces in Al Mazrah, there are many more opportunities to find something great in your deployment. But there are also many ways that you can waste your time thinking that you are on your way to obtaining something decent when really you have just lost up to 10 minutes in your deployment. For that reason, we have created a Tier List of the best DMZ Keys all the way to the most useless. Refer to this Tier List whenever you have obtained a new Key or need a refresher on both the importance of the Key and the goods you can obtain through using it.

F-Tier
The items in F-Tier are relatively useless and should never be prioritized over others. Be it loot that just does not hit compared to others, or loot that could easily be compared to that of what you get through general looting on Al Mazrah. These locked spaces generally consist of Grey Supply Crates and small amounts of money that it is not really worth your time to go looking for when you obtain one of these Keys. When determining what Keys to take with you or to make space for others inside a Deployment, these are the Keys you should use to replace for something better:
Al Sa’id Shopping Center (D6)
Algae Covered Toolbox (F3)
BC Toolbox Key (G6)
Captain’s Cache Key (E8)
Clock Repair Tools (F7)
Hafid Ship Bridge Cache (B6)
Hafid Ship First Mate Cache (B6)

DMZ Key Tier List – Ashika Island
Ashika Island is the latest Map added for DMZ and Warzone as part of Season 2: Reloaded in Modern Warfare 2. Due to the limited number of Keys on this Map, you will notice that there is nothing below C-Tier as most of these Keys offer great loot with upgraded gear and Weapons to use in your deployment or as a go-to means of obtaining cash fast. This is our Tier List for all Keys found within Ashika Island.
