Spoiler warning: This guide covers the keypad puzzles and locations in the “Stranded” open-world section of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
There are eight keypad puzzles to solve across “Stranded”. Each one contains supplies, notes or a yellow supply crate, making them worthwhile detours before completing the bunker, jamming station and SAM site objectives. The yellow crates always provide their rewards in the same order, regardless of which crate you open first.

All “Stranded” keypad locations and codes
The map below shows where all eight keypad puzzles can be found. The solutions and rewards are listed in order below.
Keypad puzzle 1 — base camp pylon
Leave the base camp and look at the base of the pylon directly ahead. The earlier codes rise by six each time, giving this keypad the code 0024. Inside, you will find a map marking several other keypad locations, along with supplies.
Keypad puzzle 2 — cliff near base camp
Reach this keypad by climbing the broken stairs on the small cliff near base camp. The previous three entries each subtract 2900, producing the code 0600. This room contains a yellow supply crate.
Keypad puzzle 3 — the big sign
This keypad sits beside a large sign. If you are travelling directly from the second puzzle, approach via Grizzly. The sequence replaces a zero with the next number at each step, resulting in 1234. The room contains supplies and another yellow supply crate.
Keypad puzzle 4 — island guard tower
Look for the crate on a small island guarded by two enemies in a tower. Deal with the guards, then read the note nearby. The numbers move forward through the sequence, so the answer is 6789. A yellow supply crate is waiting inside.
Keypad puzzle 5 — farm field bunker
This is one of the two bunker keypads rather than a standard shipping-container puzzle. The note describes the solution as the sum of all outpost numbers at the logistics stations: 0330. Inside are supplies and a note explaining some of the equipment found in yellow supply crates.
Keypad puzzle 6 — south of the jamming station
You can reach this keypad more quickly by fast travelling nearby if the jamming station objective is still unfinished. The code is 8609. Its pattern increases the first digit by one, decreases the second by one, leaves the third unchanged and increases the fourth by two. A yellow supply crate is inside.
Keypad puzzle 7 — southwest river bunker
The seventh keypad is in the southwest, beside a small stream. Its clue asks for the combined outpost numbers at the infantry checkpoints along the river. The result is 0008. This bunker contains a yellow supply crate, additional supplies and a note listing the contents of the island’s remaining yellow crates.
Keypad puzzle 8 — north of the bunker
Find the final keypad just north of the bunker objective. Add 22 to each preceding code to reach the solution, 0078. Another yellow supply crate is located inside.
