Navigating Gift Locations in CPM 2

In CPM 2 (available on Steam), finding gift boxes is one of the most efficient ways for players to boost their in-game bank balance. These sparkling green boxes are scattered across various terrains, ranging from urban parking structures to remote mountain peaks. Understanding where these items are hidden not only provides the capital needed for high-end vehicle customization but also forces you to master the game's driving physics across diverse environments.

According to community reports, there are between 60 and 88+ potential gift locations depending on the map updates. Since the game requires precise navigation, this guide breaks down the search process into manageable regions.

Regional Breakdown of Collectibles

To maximize your efficiency, it is best to approach the map systematically. Do not attempt to find them randomly; follow a route through these key zones.

City 1 & 2

These areas are dense with structures. You will find gifts behind supermarkets, under bridges, and in the corners of underground parking lots. In City 2, watch for "glitch walls" where a gift might be hidden, requiring you to drive through or maneuver carefully to reach it.

Mountain & Offroad

These zones emphasize verticality. Gifts are frequently placed on snowy branches, cliff edges, or near the base of waterfalls. Unlike the city zones, most of these can be collected while staying inside your vehicle.

Desert & Race Track

These are often the easiest to clear. Focus on the pit stop areas, repair stations, and the perimeter of hotels or tool plazas. The desert gifts are usually located near landmarks like cactus fields or oasis edges.

Tactical Tips for Efficient Collection

Finding every gift requires more than just luck; it requires specific driving techniques and spatial awareness. Based on player experience, here are the most effective methods to ensure you don't miss a single box.

  1. Prioritize Verticality: When in urban areas, always check the rooftops of buildings adjacent to major landmarks like supermarkets or gas stations.
  2. Exit the Vehicle: Some gifts are physically blocked by geometry that a car cannot pass. If you see a gift in a tight corner, do not hesitate to exit your vehicle to collect it on foot.
  3. Use High Jumps: Certain gifts are suspended in mid-air. Use elevated ramps or the hilly terrain near piers to gain enough speed and altitude to strike these boxes.
  4. Explore the "Hidden" Spots: Developers often tuck rewards behind large containers or in the deepest corners of underground parking, which are easily missed by casual drivers.

Why Collect Gifts? (The Economy of CPM 2)

The primary reason to hunt for these items is the financial return. The first gift provides a base amount, and as you progress through the set, your total earnings can reach up to 7,774,000 in-game currency.

  • Vehicle Upgrades: Use the accumulated cash to install advanced engines or pro-class tuning parts.
  • Luxury Purchases: Beyond performance, this currency is essential for purchasing high-end houses and rare vehicle models.
  • Skill Development: The act of searching forces you to drive in "difficult" conditions—such as steep mountain roads or uneven off-road trails—which naturally improves your vehicle handling skills.

Tip

If you are struggling to find a specific gift in a busy area like a city, turn off your headlights and look for the "sparkling" effect of the green box. The glint is much easier to spot in the game's darker, shadowed areas or during night cycles.

Common Challenges and Solutions

Players often report issues with gifts that seem "stuck" or inaccessible. Often, this is a matter of perspective rather than a technical bug.

Why can't I reach the gift in City 2?

Some gifts in City 2 are placed behind walls that appear solid. If you are certain the location is correct, try approaching from a different angle or checking if a "glitch" passage exists nearby.

Do I need a specific car to collect all gifts?

While most gifts are accessible with any vehicle, an off-road vehicle with high clearance is recommended for the Mountain and Offroad maps to avoid getting stuck on rocks or muddy trails.

Are the gift locations the same as in the original CPM?

No. CPM 2 is a distinct title. While some logic carries over, you should not assume that map data from older games applies directly to the current version. Always verify locations using current 2026 map data.

Final Thoughts

The hunt for gifts in CPM 2 is a marathon, not a sprint. By methodically clearing one zone at a time—starting with the easier Track and Desert locations and moving toward the complex City maps—you can build a significant financial foundation. Remember that the rewards are not just the currency, but the map knowledge you gain, which will serve you well in competitive multiplayer scenarios. Keep your eyes on the corners, check the rooftops, and don't be afraid to leave the road behind.
