The Executive Arms Auction is an Epic key in MW4 DMZ. It opens the dining hall near the top of DBN Headquarters, the tallest tower in The Grid, grid G6. It is one of the harder rooms to reach, because The Grid is an Extreme threat area, but the hall pays for it with a safe, two weapons lockers and a row of military lockers. Below is where the door is, the quick way up and what we found inside.
- The door is near the top of DBN Headquarters in The Grid (G6), a dark teal double door next to a Dining Room sign.
- Climb the rope that hangs down the middle of the stairwell, then follow the corridor with the pink carpet.
- The Grid is an Extreme threat area, so come prepared.
- Our best finds were a Cipher Code Ledger and a W.M.D. Manifest worth $5,000 each, and an Epic Patriot XMR.
Where the Executive Arms Auction Door Is
The Executive Arms Auction is near the top of DBN Headquarters, the tallest tower in The Grid, grid G6. The door is a dark teal double door next to a sign that says Dining Room, on a floor with a pink carpet that looks out over the atrium. The Grid was an Extreme threat area in our run. You can also find the door under the keys layer on our interactive MW4 DMZ map.

How to Get the Executive Arms Auction Key
The Executive Arms Auction key is field loot, so it can drop from ordinary containers on Hajin. One known source is the safe in the south office at Cheonwang Peak Array. Every other key and the door it opens is in our MW4 DMZ keys guide.
The Route Up DBN Headquarters
- Go into DBN Headquarters through the main entrance and head for the stairwell.
- A rope hangs down the middle of the stairwell. Climb it to skip the flights of stairs and get to the upper floors fast.
- Leave the stairwell on the floor with the pink carpet and follow the corridor along the atrium to the Dining Room door.

Plus 2 items we could not identify.
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 carried out value is the change in the loadout value the game shows while you loot.
The safe and the two weapons lockers are where the money is. Ours gave a Cipher Code Ledger and a W.M.D. Manifest worth $5,000 each, Nuclear Program Files, an Epic Patriot XMR and a Rare PPSh-41. The military lockers are mostly lethals, tacticals and crafting resources. Loot is random, so your hall can roll differently.

Yes. The room is near the top of the tallest tower in The Grid, but with the rope in the stairwell you are up there quickly. Inside there is a safe on top of two weapons lockers and five military lockers, so the loot is good. Ours gave valuables worth $5,000 each and an Epic Patriot XMR.
