DMZ Salvager mission guide: How to find all contraband packages

In Call of Duty DMZ, your job is to complete faction missions to earn XP, contraband weapons, and other rewards. These missions are unique and are designed across five tiers for all the factions. These factions include White Lotus, Legion, Black Mous, and Crown. These missions are divided across both the Ashika Island and Al Mazrah maps, and you’ll need to know the exact locations to visit for specific assignments. 

The Salvager is a Tier two faction mission for Crown, and it has two objectives you need to complete. This mission requires you to visit the sunken ship sites around both maps. The objective is to find Contraband packages at these shipwreck areas and extract them successfully. Some of these packages are located at tricky spots that are not easy to find on the map.

Here’s how to complete the Salvager mission in Call of Duty DMZ.

The Salvager is the last Tier 2 mission for the Crown faction, and it has two objectives you need to complete. The objectives are spread across both maps, and it’s best to start on Al Mazrah.

This sunken ship is located southeast of the Sawah Village POI, check the yellow circle on the map image above to see its exact location.
