Some areas have a lot of high-quality loot but are very popular spots which are always crawling with enemies. Other locations have less valuable loot but will have less enemies’ players will have to deal with.

This guide outlines where to land in Warzone to find the most valuable loot, but players should expect a lot of enemies who are also after the legendary items.

Where to Land in Warzone for the Best Loot Distribution

Every location on the Warzone map has a designated loot drop rate that can be found in the official Call of Duty: Warzone strategy guide. The official guide discusses specific areas in detail and provides a brief overview of what type of loot players can expect. The loot level for each location is measured by a white bar which shows how likely legendary items will appear at that specific location. The higher the bar means the higher quality of items will be found, and the lower the bar means that the area will be full of common and uncommon items.

The following locations will have the best loot according to the official guide.

Karst River Quarry

Karst Rive Quarry is a popular location to drop that provides a lot of loot in its immediate area. There are two areas that are likely to have high quality loot: The railyard and shipping area. These two areas have a full loot bar rating in the official guide and players will likely find legendary and epic items.

Most other areas in and around the quarry do not have a high loot rating, but players will still be able to find items that can get them through the early game. This is a popular place to land if it is near the drop path so be prepared to fight enemies as soon as you land.

TV Station

This location is another area that has a high chance of spawning legendary loot and has several loot crates throughout the building.

Airport

The final location to find Legendary items is the terminal parking structure and skybridges. This area is often looted by players going towards the center of the map after landing on the runaway and hangers and is usually ignored on the initial drop.
