Alan Wake 2 Lunch Boxes explained
There are 21 Lunch Boxes in Alan Wake 2, and they are only available to Saga while playing through her 'Return' chapters. You don't have to be on the hunt for Lunch Boxes while playing as Alan, he collects Words of Power to help him out instead.
Each Alex Casey Lunch Box contains a note from the person who placed it, and some Manuscript Fragments that you can use to upgrade Saga's weapons.
Keep in mind that there aren't enough Manuscript Fragments to get every weapon upgrade in Alan Wake 2, so choose wisely.
Lunch Boxes are the trickiest collectible to spot, but keep an eye out for colourful knitting patterns scattered across the ground and hanging from trees. Follow the knitted trail and you'll likely find a Lunch Box at the end of the path.
