Downtown Branch Lobby Main is an Uncommon key in MW4 DMZ. It opens the front door of the Hanex Bank branch on the north edge of The Grid, the downtown branch the tooltip calls The Grid Bank Branch. Below is where the bank is, the short walk to the door, what we found inside and how far we got with the vault.

TL;DR
  • The door is the glass front door of the Hanex Bank branch on the north edge of The Grid, grid G6.
  • Cross the street from NuriGO West and walk up the front steps. Opening the door paid 300 XP.
  • Inside lie a Bank Branch Vault Access card upstairs and an Encrypted Archive in the storage room.
  • We could not open the vault. The card reader had no power and we found no car battery and no code note.
  • Not worth it. The spawns seemed glitched, the back of the building opens without a key, so sell it.
From across the street to the open lobby door, the walk sped up.

Where the Downtown Branch Lobby Main Is

The Downtown Branch Lobby Main is the front door of a Hanex Bank branch on the north edge of The Grid, grid G6. The bank faces the street that separates The Grid from NuriGO West, so you can walk up to it from the quieter side. Look for the white building with the rounded corners and the blue Hanex Bank sign above the entrance. The door is a set of glass double doors at the top of the front steps, set back under the building. Inside The Grid the threat level is Critical, so expect AI in the lobby.

Do not mix it up with the Hanex Bank tower further southeast, where the Hanex Guard Station is. The downtown branch is a separate, much lower building. You can also find it under the keys layer on our interactive MW4 DMZ map.

How to Get the Downtown Branch Lobby Main Key

The Downtown Branch Lobby Main key is field loot, so it can drop from ordinary containers on Hajin. We do not know of a fixed spawn for it. The tooltip reads “Provides access to the The Grid Bank Branch Lobby”, with the doubled word as it is in the game, and unlike most keys it gives no grid. Every other key and the door it opens is in our MW4 DMZ keys guide.

The Route to the Door

  1. Start on the NuriGO West side of the street, opposite the bank with the blue Hanex Bank sign.
  2. Cross the street and walk up the wide front steps under the entrance.
  3. The glass double doors at the top are the Downtown Branch Lobby Main. Unlocking them paid 300 XP.

What Is Inside the Downtown Branch

Behind the doors is a dark lobby with the Hanex Bank sign on the wall and a teller counter. Stairs lead up to an open upper floor with offices and a row of teller windows, another stairwell goes down to an underground car park with a few small offices, and a door marked no public access leads to a storage room with metal shelves. The stairwell also takes you up to the roof. In our run the doors at the back of the storage room stood open, and we did not check whether they open from the outside.

4 containers in the room
Encrypted Archive best find, Rare, $2,000
$2,900 loot value in the containers, at least

Containers

The containers decide the loot. Tap one to see what it can drop in our loot data.

Loot

  • Encrypted Archive Rare $2,000 Loose in the room
  • Biomaterials Uncommon $200 Loose in the room
  • Electronic Sensors Uncommon $200 Computer
  • Rigid Synthetics Uncommon $200 Loose in the room
  • Vault Armory key Epic $100 Cache
  • Bank Branch Vault Access Rare $100 Loose in the room
  • Stim Uncommon $100 Tool Box
  • Pistol/SMG Ammo ×27 Ammo Box
  • Electronics ×4 Computer
  • Metals ×7 Ammo Box

From one opening in our own run. Loot is random, so your room can roll differently, and we add every new run of this key. Values are per item, from the in-game tooltips. The loot value adds up every item with a known value and the cash, so it is a lower bound: crafting resources and items without a value are not in it.

There are few containers in the building. An ammo box in the car park gave Pistol/SMG ammo, a tool box on the roof had a Stim, and in an office off the car park a computer held Electronic Sensors and a black duffel bag the game calls a Cache held a Vault Armory key. Keys roll randomly, so do not count on that one. The loose items were the better part. An Encrypted Archive worth $2,000 lay on a shelf in the storage room next to Biomaterials, and a Bank Branch Vault Access card lay on a desk on the upper floor. Counting only items with a known value, the loot in the building was worth at least $2,900.

The Vault in the Downtown Branch

The downtown branch has the same vault setup as the other Hanex Bank branches, which we explain step by step on our Bank Branch Vault Access page. You need three things, the Bank Branch Vault Access card, a car battery for the fuse box and the code for the vault keypad.

  • The card lay on a desk on the upper floor, by the poster next to the stairs. We picked it up.
  • The security door is a green door at the end of the row of teller windows upstairs. Its card reader showed that it lacks power.
  • The fuse box hangs on the wall by the stairs in the underground car park. It asks for something else, which in the other branches is a car battery.

We did not get into the vault in our run. No car battery spawned anywhere we looked and we did not find the note with the code, so the reader stayed without power and we never saw what is behind the security door. If you want to try, bring your own car battery, which works in the other branches. We will add the vault here once we have opened it.

Is the Downtown Branch Lobby Main Key Worth It?

Not worth it without a car battery, and honestly not worth it at all right now. The item spawns in the bank seemed glitched in our run, with no battery and no code note, so you can better not waste your time on this key. Sell it and free up the stash slot.

On top of that, the key only opens the front door. The bank can also be opened from the back of the building without a key, so right now the key does not get you anywhere you cannot reach anyway.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Downtown Branch Lobby Main door in MW4 DMZ?

It is the front door of the Hanex Bank branch on the north edge of The Grid, grid G6, across the street from NuriGO West. Walk up the front steps under the bank sign to the glass double doors. This is a different building from the Hanex Bank tower with the Hanex Guard Station, which stands a little further southeast.

Where do you get the Downtown Branch Lobby Main key?

It is field loot, so it can drop from ordinary containers on Hajin. We do not know of a fixed spawn for it. The tooltip reads "Provides access to the The Grid Bank Branch Lobby" and gives no grid.

Can you open the bank vault with this key?

No, the key only opens the lobby. The vault works like the other Hanex Bank branches. A Bank Branch Vault Access card spawns inside, the card reader on the security door needs power from a car battery in the fuse box, and the vault needs a code. In our run we found the card, but no car battery and no note with the code, so we did not get into the vault.

What is inside the Downtown Branch bank?

Not much in containers. We found an ammo box in the car park, a computer and a duffel bag the game calls a Cache in an office downstairs, and a tool box on the roof. The loose items were better, a Bank Branch Vault Access card on a desk upstairs and an Encrypted Archive on a shelf in the storage room, and the Cache held a Vault Armory key. Counting only items with a known value, the loot was worth at least $2,900.
