Modern Warfare 3's first Open Combat Area mission, Precious Cargo, will have players start with only a knife equipped, no direct objective, and the only advice given over the radio is to look around for gear. Players will have to find the orange supply crates scattered throughout the combat area to add weapons, field upgrades, and tactical gear to the mission arsenal.

Once found in a supply crate, these weapons and equipment items can be permanently equipped at the start of the mission, or reequipped at any of the loadout crates in the mission area. Unlocked items are also unlocked for all difficulties in the campaign, meaning players can loot up gear on an easier playthrough to be prepared for a Hardened or Veteran difficulty run.

Players will find 21 total weapon and equipment supply crates in the mission Precious Cargo.
