Hanex Guard Station is an Epic key in MW4 DMZ. It opens the guard room high up in the Hanex Bank tower in The Grid, grid G6, next to the bank vault. Below is where the door is, how to get there and what we found inside.

TL;DR
  • The door is on an upper floor of the Hanex Bank tower in The Grid (G6), near the bank vault. The elevator in the lobby gets you there.
  • The Grid was an Extreme threat area in our run, with a Deathstalker in the lobby, so come in with a full loadout.
  • 8 containers including a safe, two weapons lockers and two gaming computers, with a Legendary Warlord and an Epic Cipher Code Ledger worth $5,000 as our best finds.
  • The loot in the containers was worth at least $26,600, counting only items with a known value.

Where the Hanex Guard Station Door Is

The Hanex Guard Station is in the Hanex Bank tower in The Grid, grid G6. It is the guard room on an upper floor near the bank vault, between the vault rooms. Out of the elevator you walk into a reception with a wooden counter, and the guard station door is a short walk from there. 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 Hanex Guard Station Key

The Hanex Guard Station key is field loot, and we do not know of a fixed spawn for it. We had ours in our stash. Every other key and the door it opens is in our MW4 DMZ keys guide.

The Route to the Door

  1. Go into the Hanex Bank from the street and cross the ground floor lobby to the corridor with the elevator.
  2. Take the elevator up. The stairwell and the zipline get you there too.
  3. Step out into the reception on the upper floor and walk to the guard station door near the vault.

What Is Inside the Hanex Guard Station

The guard station is a dark office with shelves, desks and monitors. We opened 8 containers in it. There is a safe, two weapons lockers, two gaming computers, a rifle case, an equipment case and an armor box, and a few valuables lie loose on the desks.

Plus 1 item 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 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.

This room is about weapons and valuables. The first weapons locker held a Legendary Warlord shotgun and a Rare M4, and the second one Nuclear Program Files, Regional Combat Notes and a Rare Gas Mask. The safe gave an Epic Cipher Code Ledger worth $5,000 and $850 in cash. An Epic Power Regulator and Infantry Invasion Plans lay on the desks, and the gaming computers held more Nuclear Program Files, Degraded Execution Footage and a CPU. A door inside the room has a deadbolt you can open from the inside.

Is the Hanex Guard Station Key Worth It?

Yes. A safe, two weapons lockers and two gaming computers in one room is a lot of high tier loot, and ours paid out more than $33,000. Once you are up there it is also a fairly safe spot, because not many players come to that floor. The ground floor is busy with AI, but if you head straight for the elevator you barely notice them.

Not to be confused with the Downtown Branch Lobby Main key, which opens the front door of the small Hanex Bank branch at the north edge of The Grid, not this tower.
