Gorani is the ghillie-suited Lieutenant of MW4 DMZ who hides in the forest instead of a building, with a deer skull for a face. He is not that hard to kill, but he can be confusing and hard to find, because he fills his camp with decoys that look just like him. This guide shows both spots where we found Gorani, how to tell the real one from his decoys, how to kill him and what he drops.
- Gorani always spawns in the woods. We have him on video at a camp between Imjin Suburb and Mujin Pass (E5) and one south of Cheonwang Peak Array (F7).
- Find him with a Lieutenant Hunt Tower or his intel on the Boss Board ($25,000, locked until three DMZ Orders chapters are done).
- His fight is a loop of decoys, henchmen and Gorani himself, who goes prone and smokes every time you hurt him. Listen for his voice lines to find him.
- Fight him from behind a tree or a wall and do not get greedy, his marksman rifle is accurate.
- He dropped the Legendary Incisor ($6,900) for us, plus a loot backpack, his dog tag and sometimes his Scout Overlook key. Worth it.
Where Gorani Spawns

Gorani does not hold a building like most Lieutenants. He always spawns in the woods, and as far as we know there are three or four spots. We have two of them on video, both small forest camps around Cheonwang Peak Array. We have seen him at another spot too, and we will add it here once we have it on video.
| Spawn | Grid | Where exactly |
|---|---|---|
| Mujin Pass camp | E5 | In the woods between Imjin Suburb and Mujin Pass, north of Cheonwang Peak Array. Green tents, crates and a campfire on a rocky slope, with a few small houses just below it. |
| Pavilion camp | F7 | South of Cheonwang Peak Array, between Daesong Ridge and Wolves Stadium. A wooden pavilion with tents, a satellite dish and a truck. |
We ran into him at the Mujin Pass camp three times, including the run in this guide and the kill that gave us his key. The pavilion camp is where a Hunt Tower and our paid intel sent us.
Drive into his area and his banner pops up, and a DDoS hits your vehicle or helicopter so it stops working. That is how you know you are in his woods. Oddly, the name of the area under it is not always the same. At Mujin Pass it read South Korean Wilderness, at the pavilion camp it read Hajin City.

How to Find Gorani
There are two ways. You can buy his intel on the Boss Board for $25,000, which gives you the Paid Intel side op that leads you to him. His card stays locked until you finish the Underground, Counterfeit and Human Intel chapters of the DMZ Orders.

The free way is a Lieutenant Hunt Tower. Its terminal marks a Lieutenant for you, but you cannot choose which one. In the run for this guide we used the tower in the south of Deadtown, and it sent us to Gorani at Mujin Pass.
Either way, from then on Gorani is marked on your tac map, and he has a skull icon above his head once you see him. Without a Hunt Tower or intel there is no marker at all, and you only know he is there when his banner pops up and your vehicle dies.

Gorani’s Decoys and the Real Gorani
This is what makes Gorani confusing for new players. As soon as the fight starts, decoys appear all over his camp. They pop out of the ground in a puff of white smoke and leaves, one of them right next to us, freeze in an aiming pose and stand on thin white stakes. You can shoot them, but you do not have to. They are only there to throw you off.
After the decoys, real henchmen start spawning in. They are guards that look a lot like Gorani, and you can kill them. Then Gorani himself shows up. He is hard to see, because he usually lies prone or crouches in the grass in his ghillie suit. As soon as you spot him, ping him. Your teammates see him that way, and even solo it helps you not lose track of him.

The best tip we found ourselves is to listen. Gorani has voice lines, and he is the only enemy in the area that does. With headphones on you can hear where he is standing or crouching, even when you cannot see him. After a Hunt Tower or paid intel he also has the Lieutenant skull icon above his head once you have eyes on him, which the decoys do not have.

How to Kill Gorani
Gorani’s fight is a loop. Decoys spawn in, then his henchmen, then Gorani himself. Hurt him a few times and he drops prone, fires off a smoke grenade and disappears again, and the whole thing starts over with a new round of decoys. Keep that going until you have done enough damage and he dies.
He carries an accurate marksman rifle, so always fight him from cover, behind a tree or a wall. You can only shoot at him for so long before you have to duck back. We went down a couple of times, and every time it was because we got greedy on the kill. Take your time and he is an easy kill.
In the run for this guide we took him down solo with a headshot from about 20 meters, from behind the wall of the small houses below his Mujin Pass camp.

What Gorani Drops
In the kill we recorded, Gorani dropped the Incisor, a Legendary marksman rifle built on the MAR-9, worth $6,900. We cannot say yet if he drops it every time. It lay next to his body and comes with five attachments, the LM Class 6 HBL barrel, the Cronen R808 optic, the Hanbit Wrap 76 rear grip, the ZLR Cold Echo muzzle and the LM Scout VX-9 stock.

He also leaves a loot backpack. Ours held a plate carrier, an armor plate, two throwables and High-Tenacity Fibers, a Rare 3D Printer ingredient worth $500.

Like every Lieutenant, Gorani drops his Legendary dog tag. Extract with it for $25,000 and 1,000 XP, but every other operator can see the case on the tac map until you are out. Finishing the Kill Gorani side op pays another $2,000 and 500 XP on the spot.
His key is Gorani’s Scout Overlook. It does not drop every time. It was in his loot backpack after two of our kills at Mujin Pass, but not in the run we recorded for this guide. It opens his loot room at the top of the Rice Mill in Imjin Farmland, which has a Lieutenant crate and two weapons lockers.

The Boss Board pays $10,000 the first time you take him down, and he counts toward the Kill All Hajin Lieutenants challenge.
Is Gorani Worth It?
Yes, and that goes for every Lieutenant. You get a lot of XP, his dog tag is worth $25,000 when you extract it, he can drop a Legendary key, and the fight itself is a fun challenge. Not everyone wants to spend a whole match hunting him, and that is fair. But if you run into him, he is an easy kill once you know the decoy loop.
