Killing All Enemies in Precious Cargo MW3

It is possible to take out all of the enemies in the level, making it much easier to traverse without much difficulty. Going loud will bring in reinforcements and more fighting, but there is a stealth option.

Stealth Guide for Precious Cargo MW3

Players only start with a knife the first time, but picking up weapons around the map will give better firepower with silencer attachments. Take it slow and pick off enemies form afar with a silenced assault rifle or SMG. If spotted, take out any remaining enemies and hide until the alarm stops.

All Precious Cargo Weapon and Item Locations in MW3

Precious Cargo contains 21 weapons and items that can be picked up throughout the mission. Picking up these items will add them to the loadout caches on the level, and players will keep them for just that mission. The unlocks also carry over between difficulties, so they only need to be found once.

Here are all the weapons and items in the Precious Cargo mission, separating the giant map into three areas for easier viewing:
