What do lunchboxes do in Alan Wake 2?

Lunchboxes contain pieces of a shredded manuscript. The amount varies from box to box, with some offering one piece while others can contain up to nine. You can use the manuscript fragments to upgrade Saga Anderson’s weapons in her Mind Place. The boxes are located in the three major areas of Saga’s campaign, though some are blocked off by story progress. Read the descriptions below to learn more.

Lunchboxes are always near colorful, knitted items hanging from trees or sitting on the ground. Fo💎llowing them always leads to a lunchbox, soꦚ keep an eye out.
