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.

Intel and Collectibles
| Item | Where to Find It |
|---|---|
| “Confiscation Protocol Reminder” | After the first guard, on the desk of the first room on the left |
| “Updated Code” | At the lit help window, crouch and wait for the guard to take a call and walk away, then grab the note from his desk |
| Dog tags | Needed for the Never Forgotten trophy |
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.
