A Cargo Container is one of many objects found scattered around Timberwolf Mountain in The Long Dark. They can typically be found by bits of broken plane wreckage scattered around the map. Most can be found in the Tail Section at the summit.
Cargo containers are always locked, and require a Hacksaw in order to open. One may be found in the Mountaineer's Hut.
They usually have two distinct items in large quantities, totally up to a dozen or more separate pieces. Possible items include:
- Coffee
- Herbal Tea
- Any type of canned food, including soda
- Military-Grade MRE
- Medical supplies like Bandages, Antibiotics, or Painkillers
- Cured Leather or cured pelts, including Cured Wolf Pelt
Notes
Notably, this is the only way to get pelts from a source other than a dead animal.
It also takes a minute or two to hack off the lock with the hacksaw. Make sure you are secure from wildlife, as many of the crates are close to predators.
