Where to find Rex's Goggles

The goggles are just north of Deadtown, on the way from there to Chang-san Air Base. Find the gas station north of town on the Tac Map (the gold ring below). Cross the road from it, a little to the northwest: the goggles lie in a heap of black garbage bags piled against the rocks under a utility pole, with a stream just behind. Your compass reads North Korean Wilderness there, not Deadtown.

It is an easy stop: the streets of Deadtown next to it are Low threat, and a run to the air base for Operation Iron Citadel passes close by.

◆ Fortress · L Lieutenant Tower · U UAV Tower · A Ammo Armor Cache · F Fire Station · C Clinic · G Gas Station. Rings show the highest threat level (Low, Medium, High, Critical, Extreme); the white ring is Deadtown; the gold ring is the gas station, with the goggles across the road to its northwest. Smaller markers from Activision's official Hajin Tac Map.

What Rex's Goggles are

An Uncommon valuable worth $1,000 DMZ Cash. The card says Rex wore them, that they were recovered from enemy ground inside North Korea, and that nobody knows where he is now. Like other valuables, they only count once you exfil with them: put them in a Secure Slot if you want them to survive a bad fight on the way out. For bigger money, see the best loot in DMZ.

Who Rex is

Rex is a dog. You meet him in Breaking New Ground, the onboarding mission that starts DMZ: he is hurt, wearing a tactical vest, and the objective on screen reads “Move Rex To Safety”. That scene is in the same North Korean Wilderness as his goggles.

Is Rex coming to the FOB?

A dog is. Activision's Season 1 Battle Pass and BlackCell post (November 5) says to expect the dog in the DMZ FOB at mid-season, the Season 1 Reloaded update. Right now the dog comes with the “Dog Food” Companion Finishing Move in Season 1 BlackCell: pick that move and the dog stands next to your Operator in the Multiplayer lobby.

The FOB is already set up for it: stacked pet crates with barred doors sit under a big tree, with a steel food bowl and a mat beside them, and no dog yet. As of November 10, 2026, Activision has not said that the FOB dog is Rex, and has announced no mission to find him.
