Modern Warfare 3 Precious Cargo Rundown
In Modern Warfare 3 Precious Cargo, you begin inside a Shadow Company-marked shipping container equipped with essential gear. You aim to secure GPS trackers on a massive docked ship surrounded by Konni Group soldiers. Accessing the ship offers multiple options, including parachuting from yellow vehicles.
After obtaining the trackers, you retrieve the harbor manifest. Equipped with an armored vehicle and a Sentry Gun, you clear the building, reaching the manifest atop a desk in the second-floor corridor. Finally, you plant the trackers on the south side of the loading bay, all while facing enemy forces.
Your next task is to locate GPS trackers on a massive ship docked in the harbor, an area teeming with Konni Group soldiers. Continue exploring Shadow Company containers to improve your firepower.
Accessing the ship can be done in several ways. In the playthrough, you climbed atop yellow cargo-moving vehicles to parachute onto the ship, taking the enemy by surprise.
Objective: Retrieve Harbor Manifest
After acquiring the GPS trackers, proceed to the second question mark on the minimap. You have access to various vehicles and weaponry for your approach. Using a Sentry Gun mounted on an armored vehicle clears Konni Group resistance from the building.
The manifest can be found on the second floor, atop a desk in the building. Navigate through the building, defeat any opposition, and collect the manifest.
Objective: Plant the Trackers
Plant the trackers to ensure the success of your mission. The first container is located on the south side of the loading bay. Proceed there to plant the first tracker.
A yellow lift suspends the second container. You can use the Ascender's zipline or the staircase at the front of the container to reach it. Plant the tracker, which triggers a cutscene revealing that the Konni Group has gained access to the missiles.
