Most missions in the MW4 campaign are linear, but Stranded is different. It is an open combat mission with an overworld to explore, outposts to clear, and Yellow Supply Crates to find. The first three objectives (Jamming Station, SAM Site and the Bunker) can be done in any order, though following the order listed above gives you the best gear for each one. Once you complete one of them you will also switch to Ko to place reinforcements. This is also the mission with the most related achievements, four in total: Time to Crate, Scavenger, Incoming! and Noteworthy
