How To Get and Where To Use the Houseboat Key in Warzone DMZ

Warzone Season 4’s Vondel brought a series of keys to the game, each of which players need to unlock to access a valuable area or item. The chain in which they slot together was adjusted with S4’s Reloaded, so here’s how to get and use Houseboat Key in Warzone DMZ.

How To Get the Houseboat Key in Warzone DMZ

Looting

With all the other of Vondel’s keys, the Houseboat Key can be earned through looting. We especially recommend searching through the clothes that hang around the exclusion zone’s residential zones, with the prevalence of keys seemingly increased considerably in Season 4 Reloaded.

Mission

The key is also one of the ones that can be acquired by completing a mission. Specifically, it’s Security Checkpoint, a Tier 2 Mission in the Phalanx Faction. There are two tasks for players to complete:

1. Place a Tactical Camera at the Central Station in Vondel.
2. Mark 10 enemies with the Tactical Camera at the Central Station.

It’s incredibly simple for players to complete, mainly because you can equip the Tactical Camera as your Field Upgrade prior to a match starting. There’s no need to loot one in-game, just drop in with one already in your loadout, head to Central Station and deploy it. Move to a safe location nearby and hop into your Tactical Camera to scan enemies as they move around the Station.

Completing the Security Checkpoint mission grants players 7,500 XP and the Houseboat Key in pristine condition (meaning it has 3 uses).

Key Chain

Another way to acquire the Houseboat Key is by unlocking the Windmill Bag. Unfortunately, this requires the Windmill Bag Key, so you might need to work backwards in order to get the key(s) you’re after.

The bag is atop a Windmill in Vondel’s southern region, situated between Stadium and the Zoo. It’s in map grid E7.

Take out the AI around the base and ascend to the top. The bag is between wooden boxes and contains a Gold Bar as well as the Houseboat Key.

Note that the image below shows the Barista’s Bag Key because it was from prior to Season 4 Reloaded.

Where To Use the Houseboat Key in DMZ

Unsurprisingly, the Houseboat Key is used to unlock a Houseboat. The Houseboat in question is located on the canal southwest of Castle and north of the Fire Department. Specifically, it’s in map grid C5.

The image on the left shows its location on Vondel’s west, with the image on the right showing it’s exact location north of the Fire Dept.

Just head up to the Houseboat, unlock it and let yourself in. You’ll find the Locker Room Key alongside some orange crates that are well worth opening up.
