This Call of Duty: Warzone guide provides a complete walkthrough of the Courier mission in DMZ.

At last, Season 5 of Call of Duty: Warzone has made its debut. And it presents a wealth of fresh content for the extraction mode, DMZ.

This seasonal update delivers a variety of gameplay enhancements, such as the Battle Revive, Scuba Gas Mask, Self-Revive Box, and Disguise. These new inclusions promise to bring an additional layer of intrigue and strategy to DMZ.

Of particular note, the update introduces a new set of Faction Missions that further expand the storyline of Warzone and DMZ. Players are now involved in an intense war between the recently introduced Konni faction and Shadow Company.

You side with Shadow Company. That means players can engage in Faction Missions on their behalf, which presents a range of unique challenges to conquer and tasks to complete.

One new mission is called “Courier”. It is a tier 2 mission for Shadow Company and requires players to collect a specific item and deliver it to three locations within a three-minute time limit. For completing the mission, players receive a Double XP Token and 7,500 XP.

Hydroelectric dead drop location in DMZ

The Hydroelectric dead drop can be found at map coordinates E4 and is located east of the gas station in the southern part of the Zarqwa Hydroelectric area. It is behind a building next to a large bridge.

Open the dead drop and collect the Building 21 Laptop inside.

For this mission, you only need one Building 21 Laptop as the same laptop must be placed in all three dead drops.

Where to find a Dirt Bike in DMZ

For the next objective, you need to acquire a Dirt Bike.

Dirt Bikes can be found in a variety of locations across Al Mazrah. The easiest way to get one is to look for the Dirt Bike icon on the map, which you can see above.

Zaya Observatory dead drop location (DMZ Courier mission)

Next, head to the Zaya Observatory dead drop. It is located on the north east side of Zaya Observatory in between two buildings. It can be found at map coordinates F5 underneath a red “BURGER” sign.

Place the laptop in the dead drop and then remove it. A three-minute countdown will appear on screen. Quickly make your way to the Al Sharim Pass dead drop.

Promptly remove the laptop and head for the dead drop in Ahkdar Village. The quickest way to do this is to parachute down into the village.

Ahkdar Village dead drop location in DMZ

The Ahkdar Village dead drop is located at map coordinates F6 underneath a tower and next to a ladder.

Once you have found the dead drop, open it and place the laptop inside one last time. This will complete the Courier mission in DMZ.

You do not need to extract the laptop to finish the mission, so focus only on reaching each dead drop within the time limit.

    I completed this mission twice using care to place the laptop in the dead drops for at least 2 to 3 seconds after closing the lid on the dumpsters at all 3 locations with time remaining and it still will not give me a “Mission complete”. What’s the deal? Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any particular order of dead drops?
