Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Step 1: Load in at Base Camp and talk to Kal
You load into the sandbox at Base Camp. Talk to Kal to kick things off — this is the only scripted beat in the mission, everything after it is open-ended.
Step 2: Open the Base Camp container (0024) for the intel map
Cross the old bridge toward the blue-and-white radio tower. The green container on your right takes code 0024. The intel map inside marks every remaining locked container on your tacmap — this single unlock drives the rest of the mission. Full puzzle solution on the Stranded codes page.
Step 3: Clear the Logistics Outposts
Clear the four logistics outposts. They're numbered 10, 20, 100 and 200 on the tacmap — remember those numbers, they are literally the code to the Farm Field Hidden Bunker (0330). Vehicles from Logistics Station 10 make reaching the far corners much faster.
Step 4: Work through the remaining containers by coordinates
With the intel map unlocked, drive to each marked container: South of Jamming Station (8609), South East Village (0078, rewards the X-Void SMG), Cliff Near Base Camp (0600), Big Sign (1234, Armor Plates) and Small Island (6789). Each keypad has a note with a simple number puzzle — every solution is in the codes table, click-to-copy.
Step 5: Crack both hidden bunkers
The two bunkers don't appear on the container intel map — you find them by exploring: the Farm Field Hidden Bunker (631, 127, code 0330) and the Hidden Island Bunker (615, 169, code 0008, drop through the trapdoor). The island bunker holds the Tracking Device and Thermite in the crate at 616, 168.

FAQ
Which mission is Stranded in MW4?
Stranded is the 10th mission of the Modern Warfare 4 campaign. It is an open sandbox area — you can tackle objectives in any order, and it is where you will spend most of your time if you plan to 100% the game.
What should I do first in Stranded?
Talk to Kal at Base Camp, then open the green shipping container right across the old bridge (coordinates 644, 158, code 0024). The intel map inside marks every remaining locked container on your tacmap.
How do I get the bunker codes in Stranded?
Both bunker codes come from counting things on your tacmap: the Farm Field bunker (631, 127) is the sum of the Logistics Station numbers (10 + 20 + 100 + 200 = 0330), and the Hidden Island bunker (615, 169) is the total number of outposts along the river (0008).
