10. How to Place Upgrade Boxes In-Game

Join your server and walk to the exact spot where you want an ammo upgrade box to permanently spawn. Open your developer console (~) or type in chat:

To spawn and save Incendiary Ammo: sm_upgrade_spawn_save 1

To spawn and save Explosive Ammo: sm_upgrade_spawn_save 2

The box will appear at your crosshair and will now be permanently saved to that map for all future playthroughs.
