While clearing missions on Ashika Island in Warzone 2 DMZ, one location you’ll eventually need to visit is a POI known as the Science Center Dead Drop. Similar to Dead Drops in Al Mazrah, this one is not marked on your map like Buy Stations or Contracts. Even if you’re familiar with where the Science Center is located, finding the Dead Drop can be a challenge, especially when hostile AI soldiers are lurking around every corner. Fortunately, the site is near the main road, making it easily accessible for those who use vehicles to reach the location.
Finding the Science Center Dead Drop DMZ Location
To find the Science Center Dead Drop on the Ashika Island map in Warzone 2 DMZ, you must know where the research center is. This building is located near the Town Center, west of the central Tsuki Castle. For reference, the structure sits slightly north of the western entrance to the Underground Waterway beneath the castle.

The Science Center Dead Drop’s dumpster is set beside a blue tile wall beside a staircase leading up to the research center. Occasionally, the center will be a Stronghold, which might make pinpointing the Dead Drop’s position on the map easier. Another point of reference is the Gas Station across the street to the west, which can help give you an idea of where you should head after spawning onto the island.
In our case, we spawned in the Shipwreck on the northeastern side of the map. The first thing we did was find a car and drove it on the main road through residential to our Dead Drop destination, east of the Town Center. Because the vehicle was loud, we drew much attention from AI guards patrolling the area. If you are in a car, and you feel like the “heat” is too high from enemy gunfire, find a spot where you can jump out and hide. The vehicle will naturally continue driving forward, but this tactic has gotten us out of several tight situations.
After arrival, look for a pile of trash beside a tile wall, and you’ll spot the white dumpster serving as the Science Center Dead Drop in DMZ. To complete your faction mission, you’ll need to deliver miscellaneous items, like jumper cables and batteries.
