In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s DMZ, Triangulation is order 03 on DMZ ORDERS PG 2, under the chapter CH. UNDERGROUND 1/2, after Eye in the Sky and Watch for Bumps in the Underground orders. It takes three transmitter placements: two on radio towers and the last on the antenna on top of La Grande Vie in Songdo Wharf.

Quick answer: Put a transmitter at the summit of each of two radio towers marked as order objectives. Next, use the elevator in La Grande Vie in Songdo Wharf, climb the stairs to its roof, and set the last transmitter on the antenna.


Triangulation order tasks

The order lists two objectives, and you can work through them in that order:

  • Place a Transmitter on Top of 2 Radio Towers (2/2)
  • Place a Transmitter on Top of La Grande Vie in Songdo Wharf

Pin the order before you open the tac map. The radio towers that count for Triangulation carry an ORDER OBJECTIVE marker, and you can ping them to set a route.


Radio tower locations for Triangulation

The five radio towers below work for the order. You need any two of them, so pick the pair closest to your route.

TowerWhere it standsHow to get up
South Korean Border ZoneWoods between Imjin Suburb and Mujin PassYellow ladder inside the tower
South IslandAbove the park areaYellow ladder up the middle
Construction ZoneRooftop of a tower block beside a gas stationYellow rope up the building’s side
DeadtownTall tower, threat LOWLadders through each platform stage
North Korean WildernessLattice of girdersJumps and mantles along the girders

The South Korean Border Zone tower sits among red-leaved trees. At both the Border Zone and South Island, the yellow ladder runs straight up to the platform.

The Construction Zone tower is different. It stands on top of a building, so you grab the yellow rope hanging down the side, climb to the roof, and then walk over to the antenna. At Deadtown, the climb is ladders only, stage by stage, all the way up.

Reaching the North Korean Wilderness tower means climbing without a straightforward ladder. Use the girders to jump and mantle upward, then pull yourself up by catching the horizontal bars from the side. At the summit, you’ll find a TOWER CRATE; press the crane button (PRESS BUTTON) for a fast descent.


Placing a radio transmitter on a tower

At the top of a tower, face the mast until the “PLACE RADIO TRANSMITTER” prompt appears, then hold the interact prompt. The first objective’s counter ticks to 1/2, and then to 2/2 after the second tower.

To get down, jump off and deploy your parachute, or use the crane button on towers that have one.


La Grande Vie in Songdo Wharf: Final transmitter

In Songdo Wharf, La Grande Vie is a tall residential tower near the waterfront on the map’s eastern side. The area has a LOW threat level.

Mark La Grande Vie on the tac map, then travel east. The elevated railway is a quick route into Songdo Wharf by vehicle.
Enter through the ground-floor lobby and call one of the elevators. Inside, use the panel with the “USE ELEVATOR – ASCEND” prompt. It lists floors 1 through 12.

Continue from the upper floor up the stairs until you reach the roof. Expect a few enemies in the stairwells and prepare to fight.
Walk past the tent on the roof to the tall antenna mast. A yellow generator (TURN ON THE GENERATOR) up there powers a SECURITY STATION, but you can ignore it, since the order does not need it.

Face the antenna mast and place the transmitter. This clears the second objective and completes Triangulation.

If you have already finished the other two orders on the page, placing this transmitter also completes the chapter page. A LEVEL UP / NEW REWARDS banner appears on screen.
