Supply Crates in the Swamps | Other Secrets
Finding all of the supply crates in the swamps is an optional task, which you can take up if you want to unlock the Equipped achievement/trophy.
The plan is that you conduct a very detailed exploration of two large patches of the swamps visited in the chapters entitled Sundown and Nightfall. To make it easier for you, I suggest that you equip yourself with a larger amount of gas masks and filters, and also play at the lowest possible difficulty level, so that any fights with the shrimps,, demons and mutants do not interfere with the actual exploration.
Below, you can find a revive of the most important places which you need to explore in each of the abovementioned chapters. Note - the game adds a given stash to the overall number of the stashes that you have already found, at the moment that you find it. Therefore, you do not need to worry if your inventory is already full and you cannot take everything with you.
Chapter 16 - Sundown
By going to the left of the starting point, you will reach overgrown ruins. Explore them carefully to find, first of all, a stash with an assault rifle (watch out for the tripwire!). Apart from that, there are a few skeletons around (you do not need to find them all at any cost, because only the actual stashes count).
The encampment shown in the above screenshot is one of the most crucial locations in the swamps. It is located ahead of the starting point. First of all, examine the booth to the left of the main entrance. Inside, there is a sniper rifle, among others. Next, search out the corpse among the locked garages and walk into the only opened one. Watch out for a tripwire here. Search now the part of the camp to the right (walk around the central reservoir) and find the corpse and a uncovered truck (another tripwire here!). Finally, leave through the back exit from the camp to find yet another corpse.
Near the encampment, there is a gas station. In its central part, apart from Artyom's diary page, there is a gas canister, a corpse and also a supply crate. After you examine the ground floor, walk over the thin metal structure to reach the rooftop of the gas station. Examine the roof to find another corpse and a crate.
As you go to the right from the starting point, you will reach a plane wreck. Apart from gas canisters, inside you can also find mines and two supply crates located right next to the cockpit. After you have explored the plane, you should return outside and walk over both wings of the plane to reach the seemingly unreachable shelf with an interactive box.
Finally, explore the area around the ferry pier that you need to reach in order to complete the chapter. Here you can find a crate and a corpse.
Chapter 17 - Nightfall
Start by examining the crate near the water and then go to the derelict building shown in the above screenshot, near the starting point. On the first floor, there are standard supplies and also night-vision goggles and an Artyom's diary page. Finally, go to the ground floor and quickly locate an interactive crate. Then, leave the place before radiation kills you.
On your way to the next area on the swamps, you can, of course, look around for corpses but, as I have already mentioned, they are not required to unlock the achievement. After you reach the area neighboring with the demolished skyscraper (the above screenshot), turn your attention to the examination of the truck with its tilt off.
After you lose the big green beast, you will find yourself in a big, two-storey derelict building. On the ground floor there is only a corpse so, go upstairs. Examine all of the side rooms here, while minding numerous tripwires extended in this location. There is a corpse, an assault rifle and three legitimate supply crates.
Finally, approach the exit of the two-storey building (the above screenshot). Do not walk over the plank and jump down to take a look into the nearby truck with two interactive crates in it. This is the moment in which you should be awarded the achievement/trophy.
