The Executive Room is a Legendary keycard in MW4 DMZ for X01, the Season 1 black site. Unlike most keycards you do not find it, you make it, by encoding a blank keycard at a Keycard Encoder Station. It opens an office on the second floor of the Admin Offices, next to the big statue atrium, grid C5. Below is how to encode the card, where the door is, how to get there and what we found inside in our five openings.
- The door is on the second floor of the X01 Admin Offices (C5), up the stairs on the west side of the statue atrium. It is a green double door with a card reader on the wall to its right.
- You encode the keycard from an Encodable Blank Keycard at a Keycard Encoder Station, for example the one in the Supply Depot. Choose Executive Access and wait about 30 seconds.
- Blank keycards come from the first page of X01 orders and from the X01 3D Printer.
- We opened it five times and counted 8 containers in the room. A Deep Vault 406 keycard lay on the desk every time. Twice a Legendary Weapons Grade Isotope ($12,000) turned up, once in a weapons locker and once on the desk, and once a Legendary Gilded Medal of Absolute Loyalty ($15,000) stood on a cabinet. The other two times there was no Legendary valuable, once only a Legendary Kastov 762 rifle in a weapons locker and once a weapon manual ($5,000) as the best find.
Where the Executive Room Door Is
The Executive Room is in X01 in the Admin Offices, the west wing of the Main Warehouse floor on the tac map. The offices are built around a tall atrium with a statue in the middle, and the Executive Room is on the second floor, in grid C5, right above the doorway on the west side of the atrium. The stairs on the west side of the atrium take you up. At the top you turn back into a small office with a water cooler and shelves, and the Executive Room is the green double door on its west wall. The card reader hangs on the wall to the right of the door. The door is also on our interactive MW4 DMZ map under the X01 keys layer.

How to Get the Executive Room Keycard
The Executive Room keycard is not field loot. You encode it from a blank keycard, and that takes a few steps.
- Get an Encodable Blank Keycard. It is an Epic item, and its tooltip says it can be encoded on a Keycard Encoder Station within X01. Page 1 of the X01 orders pays out two of them, and you can print more at the X01 3D Printer for 6 Printed Circuit Boards and 8 Control Units.
- Take the blank into X01 and go to a Keycard Encoder Station. It looks like a white ATM with a screen and a card slot. We used the one on the east side of the Supply Depot, grid F2 on the Data Center floor, which is pinned on our X01 map. The tac map shows a second station on the east edge of the Data Center.
- Use the station. The Encode Keycard menu has two options, Maintenance Access and Executive Access. Pick Executive Access. Maintenance Access gives you the Maintenance Room keycard instead.
- Wait for the encoding to finish. The screen shows a progress bar, and in our run it went from start to 100% in about 30 seconds. You do not have to stand at the station the whole time, so you can loot the rooms around it while it runs. We saw no cost for encoding.
- At 100% the finished card pops out of the station. Walk up and pick it up. It shows up as the Legendary Executive Room keycard, and its tooltip points you to the second floor near the statue in the Admin Offices.

To get into X01 you can pick it straight from the FOB deploy menu, as its own location with Free Roam, and you spawn inside the facility. On launch day the way in was the freight elevator in the far north of Hajin. Our X01 entrance guide covers both ways in, and every key on Hajin is in our MW4 DMZ keys guide.
The Route to the Door
- Get to the Admin Offices, the west wing of the Main Warehouse floor of X01. From the Medical Wing below, a stairwell comes up straight into the offices.
- Go into the big atrium with the statue and take the stairs on its west side up to the second floor.
- At the top, turn back into the small office with the water cooler. The Executive Room is the green double door on its west wall. Swipe the keycard at the card reader to the right of the door.
What Is Inside the Executive Room
Behind the door is a dim office with a big desk, two portraits and a red star emblem on the wall, armchairs on a patterned rug and two green weapons lockers along the side wall. We opened it five times. The room has 8 containers. There are two weapons lockers, a footlocker (the MINA MS41 crate), a military bag, a supply crate, a filing cabinet and a rifle case, the long green case on the desk. Once the game called that case a weapons locker, so the loot block counts up to three weapons lockers. The eighth hangs on the coat rack by the door, and the game calls it a jacket or a cache. Once we left the rifle case shut, which is why the loot block shows 7 to 8 containers. Loose items lie on the desks, the cabinets and the shelves.

From 5 openings in our own runs. The best finds cover all of them, and the run buttons show what one opening held. 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.
A Legendary Deep Vault 406 keycard lay on the big desk every time. It opens the X01 Deep Vault gate and Room 406 inside. The Legendary Weapons Grade Isotope ($12,000) turned up twice, once in the first weapons locker and once on the desk next to the lamp. One opening without it had a Legendary Gilded Medal of Absolute Loyalty ($15,000) on the cabinet under the red star emblem, and in the other two there was no Legendary valuable at all. So look over the desk, the cabinets and the shelves as well as the containers. The loose Epic valuables were different every time, a Ceramic Pup of Loyalty ($6,000), Human Trial Records: R-18 ($8,000) and a Gilded Maritime Relic ($7,000). The weapons lockers gave R-4 valuables worth $3,000 each, recipes worth $5,000 (a 2-Plate Ballistic Gel Vest and a Stim recipe), a Legendary Kastov 762, an Epic Medium Weapon Backpack, Bomb Glider and Combat Drone, Epic weapons such as a Warlord shotgun, a CSG-35 and a Mojave .357, and a Rare Oris 8.6. The long case on the desk held a weapon manual three times, once next to an Epic Oden. In one opening the jacket on the coat rack had a Maintenance Room keycard, but keycards roll randomly, so do not count on it. Bring backpack space, because the room fills a bag quickly.

Is the Executive Room Keycard Worth It?
Yes, if you have a blank keycard. Encoding it costs nothing but half a minute at the Supply Depot, and in our five openings the room held at least $21,750 to $45,700 in loot, usually with a Legendary valuable on top. The keycards on top, a Legendary Deep Vault 406 every time and once a Maintenance Room keycard, lead straight to more loot in X01.
More X01 keycards with their route and loot: the Audit Room, the Small Test Chamber, the Maintenance Room, Deep Vault 301, Deep Vault 106, Deep Vault 406, the Superintendent’s Office and Lt. Chol-Min’s Stash Room.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Executive Room in MW4 DMZ?
In X01, on the second floor of the Admin Offices, grid C5 on the Main Warehouse floor. Go into the big atrium with the statue, take the stairs on its west side up and turn back into the small office with the water cooler at the top. The Executive Room is the green double door on its west wall, with the card reader on the wall to the right.
How do you get the Executive Room keycard?
You encode it yourself. Take an Encodable Blank Keycard to a Keycard Encoder Station in X01, choose Executive Access in the Encode Keycard menu and wait about 30 seconds. The finished card pops out of the station at 100%. Blank keycards come from the first page of X01 orders (two of them) and from the X01 3D Printer.
What is inside the Executive Room?
We opened it five times. The room has 8 containers, with two weapons lockers, a footlocker, a military bag, a supply crate, a filing cabinet, a rifle case and a jacket or cache on the coat rack by the door, plus loose items on the desks, cabinets and shelves. A Deep Vault 406 keycard lay on the desk every time. Twice we found a Legendary Weapons Grade Isotope worth $12,000, once in a weapons locker and once on the desk, once a Legendary Gilded Medal of Absolute Loyalty worth $15,000 stood on a cabinet, once the best find was a Legendary Kastov 762 rifle worth $5,900 in a weapons locker, and once a weapon manual worth $5,000 in the long case on the desk.
Can you use the Executive Room keycard more than once?
No. The keycard is used up the moment the door unlocks, so loot the whole room in one go. You need a new blank keycard and another trip to an encoder for the next visit.
