This guide explains where to find the Contraband Packages in Call of Duty: Warzone DMZ Salvager mission.

Salvager is one of a handful of missions in DMZ that requires players to visit both Al Mazrah and Ashika Island.

It is a Tier 2 Story mission for the Crown faction. As part of the mission, players must find contraband packages.

Salvager consists of two main objectives. Firstly, you must deploy into Al Mazrah and retrieve three contraband packages from sunken ships.

Once you’ve successfully extracted from Al Mazrah, it’s time to head to Ashika Island. There are two contraband packages to collect there, too.

Once onboard the ship, head to the front and go through the entrance on the left-hand side. There is a doorway immediately to your right, go through it and the contraband package can be found on the floor underneath two desks.

Al Mazrah Contraband Package #3

The third and final contraband package in Al Mazrah is a bit trickier to reach. That’s because the ship it’s on is fully underwater.

From the previous ship, briefly travel southeast to map coordinates ‘E8’. We recommend bringing a boat of your own.

You won’t be able to see the ship from the surface, so you may need to dive underwater a few times to spot it.

Once you’re in position, swim straight down. The contraband package is located on the outside of the ship. Quickly collect the package and swim back up. Don’t delay while doing this – you can easily drown here and it may be impossible for your squad to safely revive you if your body sinks to the bottom.

Now you’ve collected all three packages, you must extract from Al Mazrah in order to complete the objective.

Ashika Island Contraband Package #1 and #2 (DMZ Salvager Mission)

Thankfully, the contraband packages on Ashika Island are closer together and easier to find.

Head to the POI labelled ‘Shipwreck’ on the eastern coast of the map. There are two wrecked boats here.

On the southern boat, the contraband package can be found here:
