The Ascender is a required gadget in Precious Cargo because you won’t be able to place a tracker on the last shipping container without it. Though there are several spots you can find the Ascender, one of the locations that I found was in the building in the south.

Armaments don’t count toward the 21 collectible items required to 100% a mission, but they are very useful and needed for some trophies/achievements. There are five Armaments in Precious Cargo and there are duplicate locations. Three Armaments can be found on the cargo ship in the north and the two remaining are found in the east and west corners.
