Modern Warfare 4 DMZ: Five Lieutenant Tower Locations, says Polygon
Locating a lieutenant tower in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 DMZ requires deploying into the Hajin map and opening the Tac-Map to find one of five fixed communications structures, polygon.com reported on October 21, 2026.
Unlike dynamic op phones, the game features precisely five lieutenant towers that remain in the exact same spot during every deployment, according to polygon.com. Players can spot these structures on their in-game map by looking for orangey-brown icons resembling a radio tower topped with a skull. One accessible tower is located in the South Korean Border Zone, though players do not necessarily have to use that specific location.
Mapping the Exclusion Zone Coordinates
The five fixed lieutenant tower locations span specific grid squares across the exclusion zone. Polygon.com identified these points as south of Deadtown in B7, east of the 14th Political Prison in E3, northwest of Wolves Stadium in G4, east of Cheongun Village in F7, and east of Hajin River Heights in H8.
Anatomy of a Communications Structure
When approaching the correct tower, the tracked side objective on the UI displays an instruction to climb the structure, which may require looking upward rather than searching surrounding buildings if the marker appears distant. Players can select or ping the tower on their Tac-Map to help track their destination and travel toward the marker while watching the objective distance. Before travelling, players should consider nearby enemies, rival Operators, and the remaining radiation timer, as a long detour may not be worthwhile if they are already carrying valuable loot or running out of time.
Executing the Hunter Order Objectives
Reaching the summit involves climbing the ladders through the intermediate platform, a process dtgre.com clarified can occasionally cause confusion if players stop too early. Players can also check their DMZ Orders panel on their Tac-Map to review the order, confirm their progress, and verify that both Hunter objectives are marked complete.
Bypassing Combat for Intel
Both polygon.com and dtgre.com confirmed that players do not need to engage or defeat the lieutenant to successfully complete the Hunter order objectives. Activating the terminal changes the active side objective to reaching the lieutenant’s location, making the towers a repeatable utility for tracking targets across subsequent deployments without requiring random searches. dtgre.com noted that Hunter can be completed while working on another objective during the same deployment; for instance, players can visit a Lieutenant Hunt Tower during Operation Broken Resupply and complete Hunter before continuing toward the main mission.
