MW4 Stranded Collectibles Guide

Updated 26 Oct 2026 | Author: Kir | ~9 min

Stranded is the open-world mission of the Modern Warfare 4 campaign and the one players spend the most time in. Mission 10 drops Park into a snowbound corner of North Korea with a pistol, a Base Camp to upgrade and three objectives to finish in any order, and it hides 26 yellow supply crates, 58 notes and eight locked containers with keypad codes. The crates hold some of the best weapons and tools in the mission, from a scoped Mosin-Nagant on a moving train to a thermal Hyeon Burst in a booby-trapped store, and opening all of them unlocks the Time to Crate trophy. Below you'll find every keypad code and how to solve it, all 26 crate locations with coordinates and rewards, where the notes are and the tips that save the most time.

How Stranded Works

Stranded is mission 10, between Survivors and Defection. You play as Park, with Kal, Dunn and Ko on the radio, and you have three objectives that can be done in any order. Each gives a reward that helps with the others:

Objective	Where	Reward
Secure explosives in the bunker	Abandoned Bunker in the south	Silenced shotgun
Disable the jamming station	Clifftop in the north-east	Bomb drones
Destroy the SAM site	Lake island in the west	Thermal sniper rifle

Base Camp is your hub. Weapons and attachments you pick up go on its Gun Wall, and you spend Supplies there to craft grenades, Molotovs and Semtex and to repair gear such as an armor vest, a snow ghillie suit, a silenced sniper rifle, a grenade launcher and tactical boots and gloves. You can fast travel between Base Camp, the three objectives and any of the 11 outposts once you have cleared them.

Before you finish, the game asks whether it's time to go. Your Stranded progress is saved, and you can return to the mission from Mission Select to collect what you missed. Don't use Restart Mission, though: it resets your progress.

After your first objective, a cutscene asks Ko to place two armored patrols on the map. Put them away from the objectives you still have to do, because Park has to avoid that armor later. Every choice in this scene is covered in our MW4 campaign choices guide.

All Stranded Keypad and Bunker Codes

Eight locked containers and bunkers in Stranded open with a four-digit code. Most have a note nearby with three numbers in a sequence, and the code is the next number in it. The two hidden bunkers use outpost numbers from the map instead. The Base Camp container also holds a wall map that marks the other locked containers. Enter all four digits, including leading zeros.

Location	Coordinates	Hint	Code	Inside
Base Camp container by the radio tower	644,158	Note with the sequence 0006, 0012, 0018	0024	Supplies and the map of locked containers
Cliff north of Base Camp	646,150	Note with the sequence 9300, 6400, 3500	0600	Yellow crate
South of the Jamming Station, by a silo	667,125	Note with the sequence 5903, 6805, 7707	8609	Yellow crate
South-east village by the broken bridge	652,187	Note with the sequence 0012, 0034, 0056	0078	Yellow crate
Big Sign at the shoreline crossroads	634,136	Note with the sequence 1000, 1200, 1230	1234	Yellow crate
Small river island, reached by boat	618,132	Note with the sequence 3456, 4567, 5678	6789	Yellow crate
Farm Field hidden bunker	631,127	The four Logistics Station numbers added up (10 + 20 + 100 + 200)	0330	Supplies and a note
Hidden bunker in a cliff by the river, south-west	616,168	The Infantry Checkpoint numbers along the river	0008	Yellow crate

The river island code is 6789. Some lists say 6788, which doesn't work. Outpost numbers only appear on the map after you clear each outpost, so clear them before you try the last two codes.

All 26 Yellow Supply Crate Locations

Yellow supply crates hold weapons, attachments, tools and Supplies. The HUD counts each one you open. Coordinates are as shown on the in-game map; different guides list them a few units apart, so use the description as well. The rewards below are what most players found, but some players report different contents, so treat them as a guide.

The Two Moving Crates

The train and the convoy truck are the crates most players miss. The train loops along the southern rail line; walk along the tracks toward it and jump onto the flatcar. The truck usually spawns near Infantry Checkpoint 3 in the north-east, sometimes only after you clear the enemies nearby. The Tracking Device from the water tank crate helps you find it. If it doesn't show up, fast travel away and back.

The Sewer Crate

The sewer crate is the hardest to reach. Go down the ladder at the blue-and-white water treatment building south-west of Base Camp, where you can see the crate behind a locked gate. Two crawl tunnels with arrow signs lead around it. In the first, go forward, right, forward, forward, left, left. In the second, go forward, right, forward, left, forward, left, left, down. A wrong turn sets off a trap, and there is a checkpoint at the ladder between the two tunnels.

All Notes in Stranded

Stranded has 58 of the campaign's 64 notes; the rest are in Following Orders (4) and Escape (2). Most notes sit on desks, bodies and containers near the places above, and the ones next to keypads hold the code hints. Areas with the most notes are worth a full sweep:

Base Camp: five notes on the desk left of the entrance about gear you can repair (some appear only after you have made progress), plus three on the radio tower.
Jamming Station: notes in the entry room, locker room, main room, helipad and quarters, plus one on the dead soldier on the cliff path.
The bunker objective: four notes underground. Two of them are only reachable while the objective is active, by pushing the yellow cart to the broken stairs, so grab them the first time.
The SAM site and the far west: notes at the helipad and bunkers of the SAM site, in the blue garage, at the farm and in the booby-trapped store.
Crates: two notes come from yellow crates, the Supply Crates Weapon Inventory after your third crate and the Equipment Inventory after your fifth.

Stranded Trophies and Achievements

Four of the campaign's 18 trophies are tied to Stranded:

Trophy	Requirement
Time to Crate	Open all 26 yellow supply crates
Scavenger	Repair everything at Base Camp, which takes 195 Supplies in total
Incoming!	Destroy every vehicle reinforcement at the SAM site before it unloads
Noteworthy	Read 50 different notes across the campaign

For Incoming!, set up bomb drones and mines before you trigger the SAM site defense. For Scavenger, you also have to craft the grenades, Molotovs and Semtex at Base Camp.

Tips for Stranded

These tips from players who finished Stranded on higher difficulties save the most time:

Silence first. A suppressed Sang 9mm and the snow ghillie suit make early outposts much easier on Hardened and above.
Repair the mortar early. You can call it in while flying the Scout Drone.
Carry an RPG for the troop trucks that bring reinforcements.
Defuse tripwires by following the wire to the grenade and pressing interact.
Use night vision in the bunker and the sewer; the bunker prompts you to switch it on.
Clear outposts to unlock fast travel and reveal the outpost numbers you need for the bunker codes.
Do the jamming station before the SAM site. Its bomb drones carry over and make the SAM site defense much easier.
