All Notes and Yellow Crates Locations in Modern Warfare 4 Stranded

Modern Warfare 4 Stranded collectibles explained

Stranded starts at Base Camp, where Kal gives you three targets you can take in any order: secure explosives in the Bunker, disable the Jamming Station and destroy the SAM Site. Codmunity lists a reward for each one: a silenced shotgun, bomb drones and a thermal sniper rifle. The map is big, but you aren't walking everything. Allthings.how says Base Camp and the three objective sites work as fast travel points, and each named outpost you clear joins that list. Codmunity counts 11 enemy outposts on the map and points out that the mission also gives you vehicles to drive, which helps on the long stretches between fast travel points.

The two collectible types do different jobs:

• Notes are lore documents. Many of them also carry the clue for a nearby keypad, so they double as directions to a locked crate. Allthings.how and games.gg both tie the Noteworthy trophy to this mission: you get it when the Stranded note counter reaches 50, so 50 of its 58 notes. PowerPyx words the trophy more loosely as reading 50 different notes.
• Yellow Supply Crates feed your Base Camp stock with weapons, attachments, gear, armor plates and supplies. Opening every one earns Time to Crate. Allthings.how notes that the counter runs across the whole mission and every crate counts the same toward it, whatever sits inside.

Plenty of both are sitting in plain view inside outposts. The rest are behind keypads, on top of towers, down a sewer maze or inside a store rigged with tripwires.

All notes locations in Modern Warfare 4 Stranded

The table lists 56 notes that are there from the start. The other two, Supply Crates Weapon Inventory and Supply Crates Equipment Inventory, only show up after you have opened enough crates. Allthings.how and games.gg place the first in the Infantry Checkpoint 1 guardhouse, unlocked by your 3rd crate, and the second at Logistics Station 200, unlocked by your 5th. If either spot is empty, check your crate count first. Coordinates are the X, Y readout on the in-game map and follow Codmunity's list; a few spots differ by one or two digits elsewhere.

Example: you finish the Jamming Station objective and the note counter rose by four. The site has five notes, plus the Cliffside Dead Soldier Note on the path up. Walk the quarters, helipad, entry room, main room and locker room once more before you fast travel away, because coming back later means another trip across the map. While you're on that cliff path, KeenGamer says the fallen soldier there also carries a Heartbeat Sensor, which shows enemies close to you and makes clearing the remaining outposts easier.

Watch the bunker notes

Mutiny and Discipline can only be reached while the Bunker objective is live, according to games.gg. Mutiny sits over a gap in a broken staircase: shove the yellow cart under it, climb up and grab the note before the scene moves on. If you miss that window, you'll need another run of the mission to pick them up.

How to reach the Sewer Smuggler Remains Note

Climb down from the Water Treatment building, follow the tunnel to a cardboard sign with arrows, and crawl into the hole. The arrows on the walls mark the route. games.gg gives it as two legs, and it matches the other guides we read:

1. First leg: right at the first junction, then left, then straight on until you see a skeleton. Turn left there and carry on until the tunnel ends at a ladder.
2. Second leg: after the ladder, enter the tunnel ahead and go right, left, left, right, then left. Go straight through the next junction and take the left after it.

The final room holds the note and one of the yellow crates.

All yellow crates locations in Modern Warfare 4 Stranded

Notes and crates tend to share a spot, so the note list above already walks you past most of these. The table lists all 26, grouped by area. KeenGamer's outpost names are used where it gives one. The reward column is what Codmunity, Destructoid, games.gg and TechWiser report; where they disagree we list what most of them show. KeenGamer and Allthings.how both say crate contents can change between playthroughs, and Allthings.how adds that once you hold everything, later crates lean toward supplies and armor plates. Treat the reward column as a guide, not a promise of what your crate holds.

There are three competing views on how yellow crates rewards work, and none of the sources settles it:

• Tied to the location. Codmunity, TechWiser and Destructoid list a set item for each spot, which is what the table follows.
• Tied to the count. Some guides say the order of crates opened doesn't matter and that crate number 1, 2, 3 and so on always gives the same item, wherever it sits. The way the two inventory notes unlock on your 3rd and 5th crate fits this idea.
• Random. Prima Games calls the contents random, and KeenGamer and Allthings.how say they can change between playthroughs.

In practice it doesn't change your route: Time to Crate only cares that all 26 are open.

Coordinates	Where	How to get in	Reported reward
Moving	Freight train on the southern loop	Jump onto the open flatbed car	Mosin-Nagant marksman rifle
Moving	Green convoy truck circling the Base Camp mountain	Catch the flatbed; it can also turn up parked near Infantry Checkpoint #3	Scout Drone

646, 158 (or 646, 149)	Cliff container north of Base Camp	Keypad 0600; sources disagree on the exact coordinates	Armor plates, 5 supplies
646, 170	Artillery Battery #7	Inside the guardhouse	Backpack Upgrade
639, 165	Sewers under Water Treatment	End of the sewer maze	Armor plates, 5 supplies
631, 169	Infantry Checkpoint #1	Guard building, under the window	Warlord shotgun, explosive rounds

671, 121	Jamming Station tower	Lower platform of the tower	10 supplies
657, 118	Logistics Station #20	By a window in the command building	Sang 9mm pistol
667, 125	Container south of the Jamming Station	Keypad 8609	3 Drill Charges
651, 134	Bombed house	Climb the roof and drop through the hole	Kastov 762, underbarrel shotgun
640, 131	Artillery Battery #6	Blow up the crates blocking the storage container	Armor plates, 5 supplies
634, 136	Container under the highway sign	Keypad 1234	Armor plates, 10 supplies
618, 132	Small river island	Swim over; keypad 6789	10 supplies
616, 141	Logistics Station #100	Run the generator for the elevator, then climb the broken stairs	10 supplies
622, 121	Infantry Checkpoint #5	Command building, next to a desk	10 supplies
605, 115	Booby-trapped hilltop store	Left-hand room, after the tripwires are set off	Hyeon Burst, thermal scope and silencer
609, 125	SAM Site statue	Base of the statue once the site is clear	10 supplies

For the booby-trapped store, games.gg suggests throwing a grenade through the door so the tripwires go off before you step in. The store also holds a note in its right-hand room, so one stop covers two collectibles.

MW4 Stranded keypad codes and how the clues work

Every locked container or bunker has a clue note close by. You can type a known code without reading it (KeenGamer), but the logic is worth knowing if you like puzzles. KeenGamer also warns to type all four digits, leading zeros included, so 0008 rather than 8. Allthings.how gives the logic for all eight, summed up here in our words:

Code	Lock	How the clue gets there
0024	Base Camp container	A sequence that climbs by six per step, by Allthings.how's summary. Its other guide quotes different clipboard numbers, so read the note in your own game
6789	Small river island container	The note counts up 3456, 4567, 5678, so the next step is 6789
8609	Container south of the Jamming Station	Allthings.how's shorthand: first digit up one, second down one, last pair up two
0008	Island hidden bunker	Add the river Infantry Checkpoint numbers: 1 + 2 + 5
0330	Farm Field hidden bunker	Add the four Logistics Stations: 10 + 20 + 100 + 200
0600	Cliff container north of Base Camp	Allthings.how's shorthand: down three, up one, and the last two digits are 00
0078	Southeast village container	Each number in the clue is 22 higher than the one before
1234	Big sign container	The steps add 1, then 12, then 123

The 0330 bunker needs all four Logistics Stations cleared before the clue makes sense. It holds notes and supplies but no yellow crate, and the Base Camp container behind 0024 doesn't count toward the 26 either (KeenGamer, TechWiser). Open that Base Camp container early anyway: KeenGamer says the map inside marks the other locked shipping containers on your Tac Map.

Example: you open the big sign container with 1234 and the counter jumps. You open the Farm Field bunker with 0330 and it doesn't. Nothing is broken. That bunker is a note stop, not a crate.

Check your counters before you leave Stranded

Before you take the final objective, check both trackers. Allthings.how says the note count lives in your backpack: press D-pad Down and it reads X/58 for Stranded.

1. Notes: the backpack counter has to reach 50 for Noteworthy. It only tracks this mission's 58, and the sources tie the trophy to that counter, so plan on finding the 50 here.
2. Crates: a gap of one or two usually means a moving crate. Wait by the rail line for the train, or watch the roads around the Base Camp mountain for the truck.
3. Keypads: list which of the six crate keypads you've opened. Each code is above, so a missed container takes a minute.
4. Bunker notes: if Mutiny or Discipline is missing, it can't be collected outside the objective.

FAQ

How many crates are there in Modern Warfare 4 Stranded? 26 Yellow Supply Crates. 24 have fixed spots and two travel: one on the freight train and one on a convoy truck circling the Base Camp mountain (Codmunity, Destructoid). Opening all 26 earns Time to Crate.

How many notes are there in Modern Warfare 4 Stranded? 58, out of 64 in the whole campaign. 56 are on the map from the start, and two more appear at Infantry Checkpoint 1 and Logistics Station 200 after your 3rd and 5th crates. Allthings.how and games.gg say Noteworthy needs 50 of them.

What are the rewards for finding crates in Modern Warfare 4 Stranded? Weapons such as the X-Void SMG, Hyeon Burst and Mosin-Nagant, gear like the Scout Drone and Tracking Device, a Backpack Upgrade, armor plates and Base Camp supplies. Your 3rd and 5th crates opened also unlock the two inventory notes. Guides disagree on whether yellow crates rewards follow the location, the number of crates opened, or chance, so your items may differ from any list.

How to find the crate codes in Modern Warfare 4 Stranded? Look for the clue note posted on or beside each keypad. Most show a short number pattern you continue, and the two bunker codes are sums: the river checkpoint numbers for 0008 and the Logistics Station numbers for 0330. Type the leading zeros too. All eight codes are in the table above if you'd rather skip the puzzles.

Do the Stranded notes count toward the Noteworthy trophy? Yes. Allthings.how and games.gg say the trophy pops when the Stranded note counter reaches 50, so you need 50 of the mission's 58. PowerPyx only describes it as reading 50 different notes.
