All Field Upgrade Locations in MW3 Precious Cargo

Now that you’ve collected all 17 weapons, all you need to do is collect the four Field Upgrades. The Field Upgrades in Precious Cargo are as follows:

1. Recon Drone
2. Heartbeat Sensor
3. Munitions Box
4. Snapshot Pulse

There are a few overlapping areas where you can find the Field Upgrades, but primarily, they are found in the southern regions of the map. Field Upgrades are found in small orange boxes, so look out for those.

Where to find the Ascender in MW3 Precious Cargo

The Ascender is a required gadget in Precious Cargo because you won’t be able to place a tracker on the last shipping container without it. Though there are several spots you can find the Ascender, one of the locations that I found was in the building in the south.

All Armament locations in MW3 Precious Cargo

Armaments don’t count toward the 21 collectible items required to 100% a mission, but they are very useful and needed for some trophies/achievements. There are five Armaments in Precious Cargo and there are duplicate locations. Three Armaments can be found on the cargo ship in the north and the two remaining are found in the east and west corners.

All Plate Carrier Locations in MW3 Precious Cargo

You start Precious Cargo with one Plate Carrier. You can get two more Plate Carriers by finding them on the map. One Plate Carrier is in the same room as the Ascender and the other is in a room on the third floor next to the southeastern objective.
