Imagine rolling across Hajin in your own tank while rival squads scramble for cover. In **Modern Warfare 4 DMZ**, you really can. It takes a bit of work, but the payoff is huge.

### What You Need in **MW4 DMZ**?

A wrecked tank sits in the Armory inside the **Air Base** hangar on the west side of the map. To fix it, you need **four parts**. Once it’s repaired, you can drive it anywhere on the map for that match.

### Tank Part Locations at a Glance

| Part | Where to Find It |
| --- | --- |
| **Tank Water Pump** | Air Base, on rooftops, shelves and building corners in the north, near fuel tanks or cabinets |
| **Tank Plugs** | Inside the mechanic buildings on the west side of the Air Base |
| **Tank Battery** | Bunker tunnels beneath the Air Base Hangar |
| **Tank Alternator** | Inside the locked Air Base Armory |

*Part locations come from multiple community guides, and exact spots can vary.*

### The Tricky One: The Tank Alternator

Three of the parts are simply a matter of searching. The **Alternator** is the real challenge. To reach it, you need to:

1. **Find three notes** near the Armory to work out the door code.
2. **Get the Multi-Use Air Base Hanger Key Card** so you can open the Armory.
3. **Run the Operation Iron Citadel story mission**, which gives you the Air Base spawn and the Armory access you need.

If you skip the story mission, you’ll likely be locked out, so plan around it.

### Step-by-Step: Repair and Drive

1. **Collect the easy parts first.** Grab the Battery, Plugs and Water Pump across a few runs, and extract each time to keep them safe.
2. **Deploy with Operation Iron Citadel.** Choose it from your Story Missions so you spawn at the Air Base.
3. **Open the Armory.** Use the note code and key card, then pick up the Alternator.
4. **Go to the tank.** Place all four parts into the back of it. When the game shows “Vehicle Repaired,” you’re ready.
5. **Open the hangar doors and drive out.** The tank is now yours for the match.

### Keeping the Tank Running

Vehicles in DMZ have **limited armor and fuel**, so don’t treat the tank as invincible. When fuel runs low, drive to a **Gas Station** and park under the canopy near the pumps. It will refuel and repair automatically.

### Smart Tips Before You Go

- **Split the job.** Trying to find all four parts in one run is risky. Gather them across several deployments, then do one big Iron Citadel run.
- **Squad up.** With three players, one can search while the others guard.
- **Watch for ambushes.** A loud tank will attract attention, so expect rival squads to come looking.
- **Remember it’s one match only.** The tank doesn’t carry over, so use it well.

### Is It Worth It?

Absolutely, if you enjoy chaos. A repaired tank can clear enemy vehicles and give your squad a big advantage, though it does take planning and a bit of luck. Even failed attempts teach you the Air Base layout, which helps in later runs.
