How to Get Skeleton Keys in Warzone DMZ
Warzone’s DMZ may be approaching its sixth season of post-launch content but Skeleton Keys are still among the most valuable and in-demand items in the entire extraction mode.Here’s how to get them, craft them and use them.
What are Skeleton Keys?
They’reDMZ’smaster keys. They open any lock for any location, whether that’s a bag, cache or crate.If you have one, keep it safe because it’s an incredibly powerful tool for looting and exploring.
