MW4 DMZ: How to Beat Roze at DBN Headquarters (Location and Drops)

At DBN Headquarters in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 DMZ, Lieutenant Roze holds the uppermost position. This Hajin point of interest ranks among the most hazardous, with EXTREME displayed on the compass. Roze is a sniper who fights from the roof, so reaching Roze means climbing the tower under fire.

Quick answer: Climb the emergency stairwell of DBN Headquarters to the roof, use the HVAC units as cover, and kill Roze at the roof edge to get SIDE OP COMPLETE / KILL ROZE and +500 XP.

Where Roze is on DBN Headquarters

The tower’s roof consists of white terraces arranged in steps, along with large air-conditioning units, metal staircases connecting the tiers, and a radio mast. Roze fires down at you from the terraces and the exterior stairs near the summit.

Point of interest: DBN Headquarters, threat EXTREME
Roze’s position: the tower’s uppermost rooftop, among its stepped terraces
Cover on the roof: HVAC units, stair rails and overhangs
Extra threat: the DEATHSTALKER Commander helicopter, which patrols the same roof

As you advance, the side op objective updates: it first reads “Reach the Lieutenant’s Location”; after you emerge onto the roof, it switches to “Kill Roze”.

How to reach Roze’s rooftop

Enter DBN Headquarters and find the emergency stairwell. The landing walls carry a red 비상구 EMERGENCY arrow, which marks the route up through the top floors.

Clear the guards floor by floor as you climb. They hold both the stairs and the upper corridors, so take each floor before moving to the next.

Walk through the doorway at the top and onto the roof terraces. Stepping outside completes “Reach the Lieutenant’s Location”, and the side op switches to “Kill Roze”.

Before advancing, get behind the first HVAC unit and restore your plates. With little cover across the roof, Roze and the guards can shoot at you from above as you move across the terraces.

How to beat Roze on the rooftop terraces

Roze can down you with a single shot, so standing in the open on the terraces is a mistake. Peek out from behind an HVAC unit or a stair rail, fire, and pull back into cover before Roze lines up a shot.

Guards move up and down the metal stairs between the terraces during the fight. A scoped assault rifle handles them well, letting you pick them off as they come down the steps.

Stay close to your squad. A teammate who goes down on the open roof needs cover before anyone can revive them. The inner stairwell just below the roof works as a safe place to fall back and regroup.

Move around the terrace levels to come up on Roze’s side. Then use a scoped assault rifle to keep landing shots on Roze near the roof’s edge. Roze goes down on the grated walkway that runs along the edge.

The DEATHSTALKER Commander shares this roof. Watch the sky during the fight, and get under an overhang or behind an HVAC unit when the helicopter strafes.

What Roze drops

Roze drops a dog tag, a sniper rifle beside the body, and a modest stash of valuables and equipment.

Item	Rarity	Type	Value
Roze’s Dog Tag	LEGENDARY	Lieutenant dog tag	—
ASTAROTH .57	RARE	SNIPER RIFLE	$6,400
INFANTRY INVASION PLANS	UNCOMMON	VALUABLE	$1000
DRILL CHARGE	UNCOMMON	LETHAL	$100
Ballistic Flight Logs x1	—	—	—
AR/LMG ammo x9	—	Ammo	—
Armor Plate x1	—	Gear	—

Take Roze’s Dog Tag out with you; Lieutenant tags are paid out in the extraction results. You can also extract the INFANTRY INVASION PLANS and sell them for cash at the FOB. A DRILL CHARGE is a lethal device: its thermal lance bores into a surface before triggering an explosion.

Which rifle appears by Roze’s body may vary from one match to another. It can be the ASTAROTH .57 or THE KRAKEN, the other sniper rifle Roze carries.

Roze also appears in the Operation Grid Assault story mission at DBN Headquarters. There, Roze fights on the broken upper levels of the building, and killing Roze gives you the second code segment.
