Quick Answer: How to Complete Special Delivery in MW4 DMZ
To complete Special Delivery:
- Collect three bomb parts: Find Explosives, Explosives Wiring, and Explosives Numpad at the marked locations.
- Craft the bomb: Travel to the mission workbench and interact with it to assemble the explosive.
- Complete the next technical objective: Upload Intel at Laptop or Capture UAV Tower, depending on your mission instructions.
- Reach the Mobile Launch Platform: Follow the new objective marker to the launch site.
- Plant the explosive: Use the Plant Explosive interaction on the marked launch structure.
- Defend and take cover: Survive the approximately one-minute defense, then move to safety when Take Cover appears.
The mission finishes when Operation Complete — Special Delivery appears on your screen.
Important: Use your active mission marker if it differs from a location described below. The documented Special Delivery routes do not all use the same destinations.
All Special Delivery Mission Objectives
Special Delivery is a multi-step Dynamic Operation. Completing one objective unlocks the next, so you must assemble the bomb and finish the technical objective before planting it at the launch platform.
The mission follows this general sequence:
- Collect the Bomb Parts
- Craft Bomb
- Upload Intel at Laptop or Capture UAV Tower
- Get to the Mobile Launch Platform
- Plant Bomb
- Defend the Location
- Take Cover
- Operation Complete
The laptop and UAV Tower stages are alternative instructions seen in different routes. You only need to complete the objective currently assigned to your operation.
Where to Find the Three Bomb Parts in Special Delivery
The first objective is Collect the Bomb Parts.
You need three components:
- Explosives
- Explosives Wiring
- Explosives Numpad
The objective tracker shows your progress as 1/3, 2/3, and 3/3.
These components are collected from marked loot locations, including dead drops and other containers. You do not need to collect ordinary crafting materials to substitute for the mission parts.
1. Find the Explosives
One Special Delivery route places the Explosives inside a dead drop in Cheongun Outskirts.
Travel to the marked location, approach the dead drop, and collect the component.
The objective tracker should increase after the pickup.
Other routes can take you toward Songdo Wharf and nearby mission locations, so check your map before searching containers in an unrelated area.
2. Find the Explosives Wiring
Explosives Wiring is another required component.
One route places it inside a safe at Compound Charlie.
If your objective leads into a guarded compound, clear nearby enemies before opening the marked container. This reduces the risk of being interrupted while collecting the part.
Once the wiring is collected, check your mission tracker to confirm the pickup registered.
3. Find the Explosives Numpad
The Explosives Numpad is the remaining component needed to assemble the bomb.
Open the tactical map and follow the active bomb-parts objective to its marked container or search area.
Other Special Delivery routes can lead through the Construction Zone, but do not assume the Numpad is always located there.
When the tracker reaches 3/3, the game displays Step Complete — Collect the Bomb Parts and unlocks the next objective: Craft Bomb.
Inventory tip: If your backpack is full while collecting loot during the operation, use our Modern Warfare 4 DMZ Backpack Full guide to manage inventory space and protect valuable items.
Where to Craft the Bomb in MW4 DMZ Special Delivery
After collecting all three components, open your tactical map and locate the Craft Bomb objective marker.
You must assemble the explosive at the mission-specific workbench. This is separate from the FOB 3D Printer.
Cheongun Village Workbench Location
One Special Delivery route places the bomb-crafting workbench inside Cheongun Village, around grid F4.
Follow the marker into the village and enter the indicated building.
Inside, look for a long black workbench containing electronic equipment, tools, wiring, and a small monitor. The room has light-colored tiled walls.
Approach the workbench until the interaction prompt appears.
On a PlayStation-style controller, the interaction is Square — Craft Bomb.
Use the prompt to assemble the device.
When the crafting step finishes, the HUD displays Step Complete — Craft Bomb, and the Bomb is added to your inventory.
Suggested screenshot: Cheongun Village F4 tactical map, followed by the Craft Bomb interaction at the electronics workbench.
What If the Workbench Is Not in Cheongun Village?
Another Special Delivery route places the crafting workbench in the Construction Zone.
If your objective marker points there instead, follow it.
To find the correct workbench:
- Confirm that all three bomb parts have been collected.
- Open the tactical map.
- Locate the Craft Bomb objective marker.
- Travel to the marked building or work area.
- Look for the mission workbench and its Craft Bomb interaction.
- Assemble the explosive.
Do not spend time searching Cheongun Village when your objective points to a different location.
Is the Bomb Workbench the Same as the FOB 3D Printer?
No.
The Special Delivery workbench assembles the mission bomb using the three collected components.
The FOB 3D Printer is a separate crafting system for equipment and other items.
You do not need to return to the FOB to craft the Special Delivery bomb.
Upload Intel at Laptop or Capture UAV Tower?
After crafting the bomb, check the new objective on your HUD.
You may receive Upload Intel at Laptop or Capture UAV Tower.
These are different technical objectives associated with documented Special Delivery routes. Complete the one shown in your current operation.
Where to Find the Upload Intel Laptop
For the laptop objective, one route leads to a communications tower near Cheongun Outskirts and the South Korean Border Zone.
The structure is a tall steel lattice tower standing on a wooded hillside. A low concrete enclosure surrounds the base.
The objective marker is positioned high above ground level.
To reach the laptop:
- Travel to the communications tower marked on your tactical map.
- Approach the base of the steel tower.
- Enter the tower framework.
- Find the long yellow vertical ladder.
- Climb toward the upper platform.
- Follow the objective marker to the laptop.
- Complete the upload interaction.
The important detail is the vertical location. The laptop objective is reached by climbing the tower, not by searching the nearby ground-level buildings.
After the upload, the game displays Step Complete — Upload Intel at Laptop.
The next objective becomes Get to the Mobile Launch Platform.
Suggested screenshots: The communications tower viewed from the hillside and the yellow ladder leading to its upper platform.
What If Your Mission Says Capture UAV Tower?
If your objective is Capture UAV Tower, follow that instruction instead.
One Special Delivery route places the UAV Tower objective on the South Island.
Travel to the marked tower and complete the capture interaction.
You do not need to search for the Cheongun Outskirts laptop when your mission specifically asks you to capture a UAV Tower.
Tip: A missing laptop marker does not necessarily indicate a bug. First confirm whether your assigned objective is the UAV Tower variant.
Where to Find the Mobile Launch Platform
After completing the laptop upload or UAV Tower objective, Special Delivery directs you to the Mobile Launch Platform.
Two documented routes lead to different launch-site areas:
- Hanrin Village / Revolution Dam: A northern route across the Hajin River into North Korea.
- Shoreline Station: An alternative launch-platform destination.
Use the current objective marker to identify which route applies.
Northern Route: Hanrin Village and Revolution Dam
For the northern route, you must cross the Hajin River and travel into North Korea.
A vehicle makes this journey easier, especially when the radiation countdown is running.
Follow these steps:
- Open the tactical map and locate the Mobile Launch Platform marker.
- Find a suitable vehicle.
- Travel toward the northern river crossing.
- Cross into North Korea.
- Continue toward the marked launch site near Hanrin Village and Revolution Dam.
- Approach the large missile transport or launch-container structure.
When you arrive at the correct destination, the HUD displays Step Complete — Get to the Mobile Launch Platform.
The objective then changes to Plant Bomb.
Alternative Route: Shoreline Station
If your objective marker points toward Shoreline Station, travel there instead.
The destination changes, but your goal remains the same: reach the marked Mobile Launch Platform and plant the explosive.
Should You Use a Vehicle?
A vehicle is recommended when the launch site is far away.
The northern route involves a long journey, and unnecessary fights with ordinary patrols can waste valuable time.
Before leaving the laptop or UAV Tower area, check the radiation countdown and choose an accessible route to the launch site.
Suggested screenshot: Tactical map showing the northern destination, followed by the Mobile Launch Platform arrival.
How to Plant the Bomb and Defend the Location
Reaching the Mobile Launch Platform is not the final step.
You must plant the explosive, survive a timed defense, and take cover before the operation finishes.
Step 1: Plant the Bomb
Approach the marked launch structure.
Look for the Plant Explosive interaction at the designated planting point.
The explosive device appears as a wired unit with a keypad.
On a PlayStation-style controller, the displayed interaction is Hold Square — Plant Explosive.
Complete the planting interaction while standing close to the marked surface.
The game then displays Step Complete — Plant Bomb and begins the defense stage.
Suggested screenshot: Plant Explosive interaction at the Mobile Launch Platform.
Step 2: Defend the Location
After planting, the objective changes to Defend the Location.
A countdown appears, lasting approximately one minute in the documented mission sequence.
Enemy soldiers approach during this stage, so prepare for a short defensive fight.
To survive:
- Use nearby walls and solid structures for cover.
- Watch the entrances and approaches to the launch site.
- Eliminate enemies pushing toward your position.
- Reload between engagements.
- Pick up ammunition or armor plates when it is safe.
- Monitor the defense countdown.
You do not need to stand exposed beside the explosive throughout the defense.
Holding a nearby covered position can make it easier to survive enemy attacks while keeping the site in view.
If your operator becomes wounded, avoid unnecessary exposure while recovering. Our Modern Warfare 4 DMZ Wounded guide explains healing, tourniquets, and recovery items.
Step 3: Take Cover Before Detonation
When the defense timer expires, the HUD displays Step Complete — Defend the Location.
The next instruction is Take Cover.
Move away from the planted explosive and use nearby cover. Do not remain beside the launch structure while waiting for detonation.
The operation ends when Operation Complete — Special Delivery appears.
This notification confirms that you have successfully finished the Dynamic Operation.
Step 4: Extract After Completing Special Delivery
Completing Special Delivery does not automatically extract your operator.
If you want to leave with your collected loot and equipment, open the tactical map and locate an available extraction point.
Travel toward the extraction area, call the helicopter when appropriate, and board before its departure countdown expires.
Keep an eye on the radiation timer. If the zone is closing, prioritize reaching extraction over collecting additional ordinary loot.
Special Delivery Not Progressing? What to Check
If your mission appears stuck, compare the current HUD objective with the following situations.
Bomb Parts Stuck at 2/3
Check the tactical map for the remaining collection marker.
Search the indicated dead drop, safe, cache, or other marked container.
Confirm that the objective counter increases after collecting the final component.
Craft Bomb Workbench Is Missing
Make sure your collection objective has reached 3/3.
If Craft Bomb is active, follow its map marker. The workbench can be in Cheongun Village or the Construction Zone, depending on the documented route.
Look for the Craft Bomb interaction rather than an ordinary loot prompt.
Upload Intel at Laptop Is Not Showing
Check whether your current objective says Capture UAV Tower.
If so, complete that objective instead.
If Upload Intel at Laptop is active, look for an elevated objective marker at the communications tower. You may need to climb to the upper platform.
Cannot Find the Mobile Launch Platform
Open the tactical map after finishing the technical objective.
The documented launch-site areas include Hanrin Village/Revolution Dam and Shoreline Station.
Follow the updated mission marker rather than traveling to an unmarked launch site.
Special Delivery Does Not Complete After Planting
Planting the bomb alone does not finish the operation.
You must complete the defense countdown and follow the Take Cover instruction.
Wait for Operation Complete — Special Delivery before leaving the objective area.
If a completed interaction genuinely fails to advance the mission, there is no confirmed universal fix for that specific situation. First check the current objective and marker before assuming the operation is bugged.
Special Delivery Rewards and Extraction
Special Delivery provides XP as you finish its objectives, followed by a larger reward when the full operation is complete.
Several individual steps award 300 XP, and a successful completion can display a 7,500 XP bonus.
The final extraction summary may also include Dynamic Operation payouts and rewards earned from other activities during the deployment.
Do not assume that every run will produce the same total payout, because combat, looting, side operations, and other activities can affect the overall extraction results.
After completing Special Delivery, you can continue exploring, finish other objectives, or extract.
Before your next deployment, consider checking your weapon setup. Our Modern Warfare 4 DMZ Gunsmith Discount and Weapon Build Costs guide explains attachment fees and ways to manage weapon-building costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the three bomb parts in MW4 DMZ Special Delivery?
You need Explosives, Explosives Wiring, and Explosives Numpad. The parts are collected from mission-marked containers and locations. One route includes a dead drop in Cheongun Outskirts and a safe at Compound Charlie, while other routes can lead through different areas.
Where is the Craft Bomb workbench?
One Special Delivery route places the workbench in Cheongun Village around grid F4. Another uses the Construction Zone. After collecting all three components, follow the Craft Bomb objective marker and look for the electronics workbench.
Why does my mission say Capture UAV Tower instead of Upload Intel?
Different documented Special Delivery routes use different technical objectives. If your HUD says Capture UAV Tower, complete the marked tower capture. You do not need to find the laptop used in the alternative route.
Where is the laptop for Upload Intel at Laptop?
One laptop-upload route leads to a steel communications tower near Cheongun Outskirts and the South Korean Border Zone. Climb the yellow ladder inside the tower to reach the elevated platform and complete the upload.
Where is the Mobile Launch Platform in Special Delivery?
Documented locations include the Hanrin Village/Revolution Dam area in northern Hajin and the Shoreline Station area. Follow the Mobile Launch Platform objective marker after completing the laptop or UAV Tower step.
How long do you have to defend the bomb?
The defense lasts approximately one minute in the documented Special Delivery sequence. Use cover, defeat nearby enemies, and remain ready until the countdown finishes and the Take Cover objective appears.
Why is Special Delivery not complete after planting the bomb?
You must defend the location until the countdown expires and then take cover before detonation. The mission is complete only when the Operation Complete — Special Delivery notification appears.
Final Tips for Completing Special Delivery
Special Delivery becomes easier once you focus on the current objective instead of following a fixed route that may not match your deployment.
Collect the three bomb components, craft the device at the marked workbench, complete the assigned laptop or UAV Tower objective, and reach the Mobile Launch Platform.
After planting the bomb, survive the defense countdown, take cover, and wait for the completion notification.
Then plan your extraction carefully so you can leave Hajin with your loot and mission rewards.
