The South Zaya Scientist Apartment is a room-sized loot cache in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 that players can access using a Key with the corresponding name. This location contains a high-tier chest, a shelf of consumables, and ground loot, including a powerful weapon and cash. While the loot spawn will vary from run to run in the DMZ, players will likely find enough goods to adequately outfit two players with sufficient gear for clearing objectives or faction questing. Nonetheless, entering the South Zaya Scientist Apartment is easier said than done, as the location can be challenging to find and access.

As its name implies, the South Zaya Scientist Apartment is located in the Zaya Observatory, near the center of the DMZ map in Call of Duty: Warzone 2. For clarification, the observatory is south of the Zarqwa Headquarters, west of the Al Sharim Pass, and southwest of the Mawizeh Marshlands.

The building players should look for is the sizeable apartment near the southernmost point of the Zaya Observatory. The loot cache is within the building on the upper-left side below the dome-shaped structure nearby.

YouTube content creator the Full Measure states that the best way to approach the South Zaya Scientist Apartment is from the south, as it is the most easily accessible entrance. However, multiple AI guards will be patrolling the lot near this entrance and will open fire on any trespassers who approach the site. Therefore, combatants will need to fight their way to get to the South Zaya Scientist Apartment in Warzone 2 DMZ and potentially attract the attention of other enemy players in Warzone 2 to the location. Sieging the building with a friend or squad will be ideal for dissuading other solo players from executing an ambush.

After arriving at the southern entrance of the South Zaya Scientist Apartment in Warzone 2 DMZ, players must go through the building to the stairwell at the midpoint of the first-floor hallway. Once players have gone up the flight of stairs, they must turn left and investigate the blue-colored door with the white "X" painted on it. This X indicates that this room is the loot cache accessed using the South Zaya Scientist Apartment Key that players will find from looting other players, containers, or chests. Keys can also be obtained by completing specific faction quests or found within the loot rooms of other Keys across Warzone 2 DMZ's Al Mazrah.
