Hajin in MW4 DMZ: Points of Interest and Threat

What to know about Hajin before your first raid

Hajin is the DMZ map in Modern Warfare 4 that arrived with the game's launch in late October 2026. It has 13 major Points of Interest (POI), dozens of smaller named spots and plenty of minor loot points. Threat depends on how many NPCs and what kind of hardware hold an area, from small groups of soldiers to heavy fortifications.

The key rule of the map is that threat does not climb neatly from the edge to the center. A quiet district can sit right next to a fortified base, and one POI can hold zones with very different risk. Knowing a place name is not enough before you drop in. You also need to know what exactly is dangerous there.

Below you will find all 13 major POIs, the smaller Locations of Interest (LOI) and a few routes for different playstyles. The data is current as of 11/13/2026. Loot and extraction are covered in the separate DMZ guide, so this one stays on the map.

How the map is laid out and where the threat sits

According to player reports, a river splits Hajin into a smaller western half and a larger eastern half. The west holds two of the most heavily defended places, each with a lot of empty ground around it. The east is tighter, with mostly low and medium threat, but one of the toughest places on the map sits right in the middle of it.

The Haneul Nuclear Reactor is in the northeast. When radiation starts shrinking the safe zone, players have to move away from it, and many end up in the dangerous west. You cannot avoid open fights for a whole match, so pick a position and a fallback path in advance.

You can travel on foot if stealth matters. The developers also provide ground vehicles, inflatable boats and helicopters, and player reports mention rail transport too. It is fast, but its route is predictable, and someone may already be waiting at the destination.

Calm and medium-threat districts

Mirae General Hospital in the north is easy to reach from several directions. The building is large, with tents and barracks around it, so hiding is easy. But the approaches are open, so avoid wandering across them without a reason.

Songdo Wharf on the eastern edge of the city is open and calm. According to player reports, you can leave quickly by water from here. There is almost nowhere to hide on the wharf itself, and nearby buildings give enemies a convenient firing position.

Deadtown and Imjin Farmland lie in the south. Deadtown has low buildings, and the Re-Education Center inside is already at medium threat. Imjin Farmland is the most open zone on the map with little cover, and the medium-threat Rice Mill sits close by, so someone may be watching the field. A vehicle is the best way to cross it.

Cheongun Village in the north is mostly calm, but Heavenly Luck Casino at its center is high threat. It is a sharp jump in difficulty after the calm village, so arrive prepared.

Three medium districts sit closer to the center. Cheonwang Peak Array is a TV station complex on a forested rise, quiet and with a good view. Wolves Stadium packs a stadium, a wrecked apartment block, an open-air theater, a bridge and a park into a small area. Hajin River Heights is dense city streets, a wide bridge over the river and a small improvised base called Compound Echo. The bridge invites ambushes, so cross it fast or pick another route.

These districts are an easier place for newer players to gain experience, and leveling in other Call of Duty modes helps you get comfortable with weapons before riskier routes.

High threat: the casino, the mall, the reactor and the prison

According to player reports, Heavenly Luck Casino has an underground level and halls of gambling machines, and it is hard to navigate without night vision goggles. If you go in, bring NVGs or a good light source.

NuriGO Mall is one of the most densely built-up spots. Its east side is rated medium threat and its west side high. It sits near the reactor, so radiation reaches it among the first. If you plan to loot the mall, leave yourself spare time to get out.

Haneul Nuclear Reactor is the epicenter of the radiation threat. Threat there is high because of radiation, while the nearby Border Zone is noticeably calmer. You will not last long inside without radiation protection.

14th Political Prison in the northwest is a high-threat site, and the inner fortress, The Citadel, is rated critical. A wall and towers surround it, so you cannot wander in by accident. Go there as a squad with a clear goal and an exit plan.

If your aim is to bring out strong gear, remember the risk of losing it. For squad raids, finish weapon leveling and prepare several reliable builds ahead of time.

The two most dangerous spots on the map

The Grid is a fortified district in the heart of the business quarter. The district itself is rated critical, and Nenshin Tech Complex inside is extreme. Dense buildings, barricades and towers leave little room to maneuver. Enter only as a squad and with spare supplies.

Chang-san Air Base in the west is the best-fortified base. The grounds are critical and the Air Base Bunker is extreme. Its fortifications make an assault hard. The reward matches the risk, and its position in the west, far from the reactor, means radiation arrives there later.

Treat both as targets for a well-prepared squad. A solo player has almost no business there, and any open firefight with the soldiers ends fast. To build skill before such targets, see how prestige works in neighboring series games.

Locations of Interest: where to get resources

LOIs are small sites with a clear function and predictable loot. They are scattered across the map, inside major POIs and in the open.

• Ammo and Armor Caches give ammunition and armor plates.

• Clinics give medical loot.

• Gas Stations and Marine Gas Stations refuel and repair vehicles, and the marine versions also serve boats.

• Police Stations give military gear and access to an Armory.

• Fire Stations give radiation protection and parachutes.

• Bounty Stations show bounties on players and let you pay off your own.

• Compounds, SAM Sites and Exfils require you to control the site.

The uses above come from player descriptions. After the November 7 update, the behavior of some objects, such as UAV Towers, may have changed, so check in game.

Choosing a route for your playstyle

Mirae General Hospital and Cheonwang Peak Array suit early matches, with low or medium threat. If you want vehicles and fast movement, start at Songdo Wharf or Imjin Farmland.

An experienced squad can link NuriGO Mall and the casino, then fall back west. Leave the prison, The Grid and Chang-san Air Base until you have reliable gear and a coordinated team.

If the series story interests you, take a look at the campaign, and add account leveling and battle pass leveling when you want rewards unlocked quickly.

Before each raid, check where radiation is heading and keep a backup route to extraction. On Hajin, whoever knows the map in advance lives noticeably longer.
