Nylon Cloth is a Rare 3D Printer ingredient in CoD Modern Warfare 4 DMZ. It sells for 1,000 DMZ Cash and is required for crafting armor, backpacks, a reusable Parachute, and Nylon Laminate. Unlike basic Resources, Nylon Cloth cannot be printed or automatically converted into Synthetics. You must loot it and extract successfully to keep it.
For players collecting MW4 DMZ Items, knowing where to find Nylon Cloth and how to prioritize its recipes can save time and crafting materials.

Best Locations to Find Nylon Cloth
Citadel Main Building, 14th Political Prison
This is the best reported farming location. Search the main building wings and prepare an extraction route before entering, as other squads may contest the area.
Deadtown Underground Holding Area
Search the underground holding area for Nylon Cloth. The western buildings are also worth checking if you need Comms Modules for other crafting objectives.
Mujin Nightclub, Heavenly Luck Casino
Located in the western wing of Heavenly Luck Casino in Cheongun Village, the nightclub is another reported search location. Check the bags inside rather than only searching the casino floor.
These locations are not guaranteed spawns. Rotate between them if the rooms have already been looted. You can also use the 3D Printer’s Ingredient Locations or Track Recipe options to help identify required materials.
Free Nylon Cloth Rewards
You can obtain four Nylon Cloth without dedicated farming:
- DMZ Level 57: Rewards 2 Nylon Cloth. Level 56 provides 2 Printed Circuit Boards, while Level 58 rewards a Care Package.
- Orders Page 15: Rewards 2 Nylon Cloth, 2 CPUs, an Inflatable Decoy, and the usual cash reward.
DMZ progression is separate from Multiplayer and Warzone and runs through Level 70. Check these rewards before deploying to avoid unnecessary farming.
All Nylon Cloth Crafting Recipes
| Craft | Nylon Cloth | Full Cost | Recipe Unlock |
| 3-Plate Armor Vest | 5 | 2 Ballistic Fabric, 5 Nylon Cloth, 10 Reactive Metals | Required DMZ Orders; Grid chapter |
| Medium Scavenger Backpack | 3 | 50 Metals, 3 Nylon Cloth, 10 Rigid Synthetics | Find recipe in Hajin and extract |

| Nylon Laminate | 3 | 100 Synthetics, 3 Nylon Cloth | Epic Ingredient Printing upgrade |
Successfully extracting a discovered recipe unlocks it at the printer and reportedly rewards 5,000 DMZ Cash. Dying before extraction does not unlock the recipe.
Stash Item Upgrade II
Stash Item Upgrade II requires:
- 50,000 DMZ Cash
- 20 Detonators
- 10 Nylon Cloth
- 5 Power Regulators
The upgrade adds 18 Stash item slots according to the reported printer screen.
Complete Stash Item Upgrade I first if possible. It costs 10,000 DMZ Cash, 10 Rigid Synthetics, and 10 Electronic Sensors, and adds another 18 slots without consuming Nylon Cloth. Players exploring CoD MW4 Bot Lobbies can also keep their progression goals in mind when preparing for their next deployment.
Which Recipes Should You Prioritize?
3-Plate Armor Vest: Requires 5 Nylon Cloth and is a useful priority for players seeking better protection. Ballistic Fabric costs 100 Synthetics and 3 High-Tenacity Fibers per print after unlocking Epic Ingredient Printing. Reactive Metals cost 20 Chemicals and 20 Metals per print after the cheaper Ingredient Printing upgrade.
Medium Scavenger Backpack: Uses only 3 Nylon Cloth and provides two Secure Slots alongside additional resource capacity. It is a practical option if you need more inventory flexibility.
Medium Secure Backpack: Requires 5 Nylon Cloth, 2 Alloyed Plating, and 10 Reactive Metals. Alloyed Plating costs 100 Metals and 3 Structural Alloy per print after unlocking Epic Ingredient Printing.
Reusable Parachute: Requires 5 Nylon Cloth, 2 Turned Components, and 10 Rigid Synthetics. DMZ Level 69 also rewards a finished Parachute, so consider waiting if you are close to that level. The Disposable Parachute is different and does not require Nylon Cloth.
Nylon Laminate: Each print costs 100 Synthetics and 3 Nylon Cloth. It is used for larger backpacks, making it a better investment once your priority equipment and Stash upgrades are covered.
Nylon Laminate and Large Backpack Costs
Epic Ingredient Printing requires 100,000 DMZ Cash, 10 Binding Catalysts, 10 Printed Circuit Boards, and 5 Military Composites.
Once unlocked, it allows you to print Nylon Laminate repeatedly.
| Backpack | Full Cost |
| Large Backpack | 2 Nylon Laminate, 5 Structural Alloy, 10 Rigid Synthetics |
| Large Scavenger Backpack | 2 Nylon Laminate, 5 High-Tenacity Fibers, 10 Rigid Synthetics |
| Secure Scavenger Backpack | 2 Military Composites, 4 Nylon Laminate, 10 Reactive Metals |
Two Nylon Laminate consumes 6 Nylon Cloth, while the Secure Scavenger Backpack requires 12. Prioritize the 3-Plate Armor Vest and Stash Item Upgrade II before converting large amounts of fabric into laminate.
Recommended Farming and Spending Strategy
- Claim the free Nylon Cloth from Level 57 and Orders Page 15.
- Search the Citadel main building first, then rotate to Deadtown or Mujin Nightclub.
- Reserve 10 Nylon Cloth for Stash Item Upgrade II if storage is your main bottleneck.
- Save 5 for the 3-Plate Armor Vest once its recipe and other materials are available.
- Craft a Medium Scavenger Backpack if you need its Secure Slots.
- Unlock Epic Ingredient Printing and use surplus cloth for Nylon Laminate.
- Craft the reusable Parachute only if needed and you are not close to the Level 69 reward.
A working reserve of around 20–26 Nylon Cloth can cover the vest, Stash Item Upgrade II, a reusable Parachute, a Medium Scavenger Backpack, and a small buffer. Your actual needs will depend on which rewards and recipes you already have.
Should You Sell Nylon Cloth?
Nylon Cloth sells for 1,000 DMZ Cash, but selling it early is rarely worthwhile. Five pieces provide just 5,000 DMZ Cash while consuming the material needed for a 3-Plate Armor Vest. Ten pieces sell for 10,000 DMZ Cash but are required for Stash Item Upgrade II.
Keep Nylon Cloth until your main equipment crafts, storage upgrades, and backup reserve are covered. Use surplus material for Nylon Laminate rather than selling it prematurely.
Players looking to streamline selected progression goals can also explore CoD MW4 Boosting options through U4GM, alongside regular in-game preparation. Keep your crafting priorities focused on the equipment and upgrades you actually need.
