Captain Price has faced a lot of trouble, but Archer’s prison might be his toughest spot yet. Escape is mission 13 of the Modern Warfare 4 campaign, placed after Counter Attack and before Entrenched. Here’s how to get out.

What Happens in Escape?

The mission picks up after Archer’s interrogation. Archer frames Task Force 141 for the Supreme Leader’s assassination and executes Gaz in front of Price and Ghost. Then it’s up to you to break free. Learn more about the franchise on Wikipedia.

How to Complete Escape

1. Start in the cell. The mission opens with guards escorting Price to a cell. Take out the soldiers once the opportunity arrives.

2. Check the first room on your left. With the coast clear, head into the first room on the left along the hallway. This is also where you’ll find your first collectible.

3. Move quietly through the hallway. This is a prison break, so patience beats rushing. Use the guards’ routines to your advantage.

4. Reach the garage. Your final task is to get to the garage and work the controls so Ghost can escape in a truck. That completes the mission.

Reading 50 of the campaign’s 64 notes unlocks the Noteworthy trophy, so these two count.

Quick Tips

  • Be patient: Waiting for a guard to leave is often safer than a fight.
  • Don’t skip the desks: Both notes sit in easy-to-miss spots.
  • Pick your difficulty: Six levels are available, with Realism and YOLO unlocked after you finish the campaign.
