Quick Answer
Get Electronic Sensors at the FOB 3D Printer after unlocking Uncommon Ingredient Printing. The recipe costs 20 Synthetics and 20 Electronics. Your first prerequisite is DMZ level 2, which unlocks the printer.
Where do you find Electronic Sensors in MW4 DMZ?
You can make Electronic Sensors at the 3D Printer in the FOB, the hub you return to between deployments. They are an Uncommon crafting ingredient, so look for the Electronic Sensors recipe when you need them for equipment or upgrades.
The printing cost is:
| Ingredient | Required per craft |
|---|---|
| Synthetics | 20 |
| Electronics | 20 |
If you're working out where to find Electronic Sensors, printing gives you a specific resource target: collect the ingredients for this recipe and unlock access to it. Budget for the printing upgrade separately, because its materials differ from the sensor recipe.
How do you unlock Electronic Sensors printing?
Unlock the 3D Printer at DMZ level 2, then print the Uncommon Ingredient Printing upgrade to access the Electronic Sensors recipe. DMZ level is separate from your MW4 player level.
Reach DMZ level 2
Return to the FOB and access the 3D Printer.
Print Uncommon Ingredient Printing
Pay the upgrade cost below to unlock higher-rarity crafting materials.
Print Electronic Sensors
Spend 20 Synthetics and 20 Electronics on the Electronic Sensors recipe.
| Upgrade requirement | Cost |
|---|---|
| Cash | $50,000 |
| Biomaterials | 20 |
| High-Tenacity Fibers | 10 |
| Comms Module | 5 |
The upgrade is available from the start, but you still need access to the printer and enough resources to pay for it. Plan around the $50,000 upgrade before gathering only Synthetics and Electronics; those ingredients alone won't unlock the recipe.
What do you need Electronic Sensors for?
Electronic Sensors go into equipment recipes and FOB upgrades that increase item capacity or vendor item offer slots. Decide what you're saving for before spending them.
| Equipment recipe | Sensors required | Recipe access |
|---|---|---|
| Spotter Scope | 5 | DMZ level 12 |
| UAV | 5 | DMZ level 31 |
| Advanced UAV | 5 | Find recipe in game |
| Crossfire | 5 | Find recipe in game |
| Elite Night Vision Goggles | 5 | Find recipe in game |
For FOB upgrades, the shown Stash Item Upgrade tier needs 10 Electronic Sensors, while the shown Vendor Item Slots Upgrade tier needs 20. These are sensor requirements for those tiers, rather than complete upgrade costs.
If you're saving for storage, spending 5 sensors on equipment leaves fewer toward that upgrade. Keep your next purchase in mind when choosing what to print.
Once you've printed the sensors, you have the ingredient ready for your chosen recipe or upgrade. For your next deployment, plan your route with the MW4 DMZ Hajin map, check the MW4 DMZ keys you want to bring, and choose your next objective from MW4 DMZ missions.
