  11. On the back of each truck, there will be a create that might contain a Mercenary Stronghold Keycard.
  12. If it’s not there, then check out near the bodies, as someone might have dropped it.

Destroying The Vehicles

Use Frag Grenade or any other explosives to destroy the vehicles in COD MW3. Your primary weapon will also do the trick if you don’t have any type of explosives on you.

Important: Regarding the Mercenary Stronghold Keycard, it allows you to raid the stronghold of mercenaries. Doing so lets you get the Legacy Stronghold Keycard, which is used to unlock a special boss fight.

The base can be found on the north side of the map. So make sure to pay the boss a visit for a special reward.
