How To Complete Precious Cargo Mission In Modern Warfare 3 Campaign

After completing Operation 627 in the Modern Warfare 3 Campaign, you'll be assigned your next mission, called Precious Cargo. The main goal of the Precious Cargo mission in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is to locate and enter the Shadow Company weapons cache, which is in a nearby cargo zone.

The mission has specific objectives, such as finding the GPS device, identifying the containers, and getting the manifest. So without any further delay, here's a detailed rundown of the Precious Cargo mission objectives in the Modern Warfare 3 Campaign.

Modern Warfare 3 Precious Cargo Mission Walkthrough

Here's a list of the four main objectives that you must complete in order to finish the Precious Cargo mission:

1. Access Shadow Company Arms Shipment
2. Acquire GPS Trackers from the Ships
3. Retrieve Manifest from Harbor Tower Building
4. Plant GPS Trackers on Missile Containers

Access Shadow Company Arms Shipment

When the mission starts, you will see a location on the map where you can get a firearm. But you don’t have to follow that path. A better option is to turn right from where you start and keep going along the building walls until you get to the end.

To find the Arms Shipment, follow the marker on your Tac-Map to a container east of where you begin the mission. Once you reach the container, open the doors and discover two supply crates inside.

They hold a powerful MTZ-556 assault rifle and a stealthy Silenced WSP Swarm SMG, along with a parachute and some armor plates. Don’t forget to equip your armor plates before you leave the container - they will boost your defense against enemy fire.

Acquire GPS Trackers From The Ships

Your next objective is simple and quick. Head to the ship and climb up to the top deck using the ropes. Then, follow the hallway to the control room. From there, take either the left or the right corridor to reach the bridge. Look for a blue container on the center table - that’s where the GPS Trackers are.

Retrieve Manifest From Harbor Tower Building

The Manifest documents can be found on the 3rd Floor of the building on the southeast corner. Your goal is to find the documents on the desk with the computer in the room. Grab them and then scour the Harbor Tower Building for useful loot, like weapons, parachutes, and more. You’ll need them for the upcoming challenges. But be careful — the building is crawling with enemy soldiers, so sneak through the hallways silently.

Plant GPS Trackers On Missile Containers

Now that you have the manifest and GPS trackers, your next task is to mark the missile containers in the harbor. They are located on the north and south sides of the map. Watch out for the reinforcements — they won’t board the ship, but they will scale the huge container crane nearby.

Keep an eye on the crane’s stairwell and use the ladders to reach the top of both yellow cranes. There, you’ll see the missile container with your objective marker. Go near it and plant the GPS Tracker when you see the prompt.
