The Doctor is the Lieutenant in the white hazmat suit and gas mask at Mirae General Hospital in MW4 DMZ. We killed him three times, and he was not always in the same spot. He is either on floor 1 inside the hospital or outside in the parking lot in front of it, and which one you get changes the fight completely. This guide shows both The Doctor locations, how to find him, how to kill him and what he drops.

TL;DR
  • The Doctor spawns at Mirae General Hospital (F5), either on floor 1 behind the nurse station or outside in the parking lot in front of the hospital.
  • Find him with a Lieutenant Hunt Tower or his intel on the Boss Board ($25,000). Then he is marked on your tac map.
  • Outside he is easy, shoot down at him from the edge of the roof. Inside he is a lighter version of Bale, so bring a 3-Plate vest and fight from cover.
  • He drops a Rare Patriot XMR battle rifle and his Lieutenant dog tag, and sometimes The Doctor’s Command Office key. Worth it.

Where The Doctor Spawns

The Doctor always stays at Mirae General Hospital, and we have seen two spawns there so far. Both are Low threat, but they could not be more different. Outside he is an easy kill, inside he is a real fight.

SpawnGridThreatWhere exactly
Floor 1, inside the hospitalF5LowThe offices behind the long nurse station counter, next to the room signed Storage.
Parking lot, outsideF5LowThe parking lot in front of the hospital, among the blue and white triage tents, right below the helipad roof.

Whichever spot he picked, this banner pops up once you are close.

Floor 1, Behind the Nurse Station

Two of our three kills were on floor 1 of the hospital, both times in the same open office area behind the long nurse station counter, with a teal room signed Storage at the side. Soldiers are spread over the corridors around it. The stairwell next to it has a big number 1 on the wall, which is where his banner popped up for us.

Inside you cannot use the staircase at the main entrance, its door to floor 1 is locked. Use the staircase on the left side of the hospital, that one lets you open the door to floor 1.

One way in is from the top. We landed a helicopter on the green roof terrace of the hospital, went in through the roof door and took the stairwell down past floors 3 and 2 to floor 1. The other time we came in on foot through a back door and worked our way through the hospital. Our interactive Hajin map marks this spot as The Doctor.

The Parking Lot, From the Roof

The other spawn is outside, and it is the easy one. The Doctor stood in the parking lot in front of the hospital, among the blue and white triage tents. Right above that square is the hospital roof with the helipad. We landed a helicopter on the helipad, walked a few steps to the north edge and had him straight below us.

How to Find The Doctor

There are two ways. You can buy his intel on the Boss Board for $25,000. His card shows a padlock early on and opens up later. On our account his intel was locked at level 16 and could be bought at level 27.

The free way is a Lieutenant Hunt Tower. Its terminal points you to a Lieutenant, so you cannot pick The Doctor, but all three of our kills started at a Hunt Tower, one of them all the way down in Deadtown. Either way you get the side op Reach the Lieutenant’s Location, and from then on The Doctor is marked on your tac map and with an icon above his head. The marker tells you right away which of his two spots he is at. Without a Hunt Tower or intel there is no marker at all.

You can still tell if he is there. Every Lieutenant’s area has a DDoS zone, so if your car or helicopter gets hit by a DDoS as you drive past the hospital, a Lieutenant is there. That matters, because Lieutenants do not spawn in every match. In our games it is usually three to five of them, and there are more spots than that on the map.

Sometimes there is a UAV Tower in the parking garage on the left side of the hospital, not the one in front. Turn it on and you get a great view of the whole area.

How to Kill The Doctor

How hard The Doctor is depends completely on where he spawns.

Outside, the Easy One

In the parking lot he is a straightforward fight. Stand on the edge of the roof and spray him with whatever you have. He is not good at that range and has a hard time dealing much damage to you up there.

Inside, a Lighter Version of Bale

Inside the hospital it gets difficult. The floor is crowded with soldiers, and on top of that you have The Doctor himself. He is easy to spot, because his white hazmat suit makes him stand out from everyone else. He is still a Lieutenant with a rifle, though, a lighter version of Bale. If you trade shots with him out in the open, you are down within two seconds. Not as fast as Bale, but close.

Come in with good armor. A 3-Plate vest helps a lot, and painkillers and a stim get your health back when you are low. Bring something with high damage per second, an LMG or an AK.

Once you are on his floor, find a spot with a good angle on him and something to duck behind, then keep repeating it. Shoot, duck, shoot. Thermite is harder here than on Colossus. Lieutenants move around a lot more, so it is hard to stick him, and the throw animation is long enough that you take a lot of damage while you do it.

Noise and the Dog Tag

A long firefight draws attention. Squads driving past or nearby hear it and know what you are up to. And once he is dead, the whole lobby knows, because his dog tag appears on the map for everyone. It is your call. Pick it up and you become a target, or loot him, leave the tag and get out fast. That way you skip the $25,000, but you are a lot safer.

What The Doctor Drops

The Doctor’s weapon is the Patriot XMR, a Rare battle rifle worth $1,700. It lay next to his body in all three of our kills. Unlike the named Legendary guns of some other Lieutenants, it is a regular Patriot XMR, and the attachments were different every time. One had a bipod, a Hanbit Mk.3 H70 stock and a 35 round mag, another 7.62 NATO High Velocity ammo, a Schlager Attack-7 grip and no stock at all.

He also leaves a loot backpack. Ours held valuables every time, an Encrypted Archive and Degraded Execution Footage worth $2,000 each, Ballistic Flight Logs, plus things like a Medium Scavenger Backpack, a Proximity Mine, a throwing knife and some ammo or an armor plate.

His key is The Doctor’s Command Office, and it does not drop every time. We got it once in three kills, in the loot backpack. It opens the converted conference room on floor 7 of the same hospital, with a Lieutenant crate and two weapons lockers inside. The route and the loot are in our Doctor’s Command Office key guide.

Like every Lieutenant, The Doctor drops his Legendary dog tag, with a $25K bounty on it. Extract with it for $25,000 and 1,000 XP, but it shows your position on the tac map to every other operator until you are out. Finishing the Kill the Doctor side op pays another $2,000 and 500 XP on the spot.

The Boss Board pays $10,000 the first time you take him down, and he counts toward the Kill All Hajin Lieutenants challenge.

Is The Doctor Worth It?

Yes. You have a chance at his key, the loot in his backpack is good, and his dog tag is worth $25,000 if you get it out. He is also a fun challenge to switch up a match, especially when he spawns outside and you can take him from the roof.
