Objective 3 : Open the gate to the obstacle course

Your guide to Objective 3: Open the gate to the obstacle course in Call of Duty 2026. Learn how to navigate the training grounds with Cpt. Foley and Pvt. Martin.

Alright, soldier, let's get you through this next part of training. You're at Camp Toccoa, and Cpt. Foley's got you lined up for the obstacle course. He'll be giving you the rundown, so pay close attention. First things first, Foley wants you to read all the signs around the obstacle course and do what they say. Once you've done that, he'll have you check your objectives. You'll see your current objective highlighted, and a star on your compass will point you in the right direction. Just follow that star! Foley will have you do a few steps left, right, forward, and backward. It's all about getting you used to following directions precisely. After that, he'll tell you to approach the objective again. When you get close enough, you'll see it checked off and a new one will pop up. Now for the fun part: Foley tells you to open the gate and run the obstacle course. Go on, get through there! You'll meet up with Private Elder, who's also here for training. Good luck to both of you! As you go through the course, Foley will be yelling instructions. He'll tell you to jump over obstacles, crawl under barbed wire (watch out for those live machine gun rounds – stay low!), and climb ladders. Just keep moving and follow his lead. After the obstacle course, Foley will direct you to Sergeant Moody for weapons training. Moody will have you grab an M1A1 Carbine and show you how to pick up ammo. Remember, keep an eye on your ammo count on the HUD. He'll have you practice shooting at a target, focusing on accuracy while standing still, crouching, and prone. You'll learn that staying still and crouching or going prone makes you more accurate. Next, Moody will have you switch to a Springfield rifle. You'll practice shooting at a target, first normally, and then while aiming down the sight. He'll stress that aiming down sights significantly improves accuracy. Just a heads-up, moving while aiming down sights will slow you down. After that, you'll swap for a Thompson submachine gun. Moody will have you compare accuracy firing from the hip versus aiming down the sight. He'll also introduce you to melee attacks – using the butt of your weapon in close quarters. Don't mess around with this, it's for real! Moody will then have you switch weapons again and fire more rounds. He'll emphasize that choosing the right weapon for the situation is crucial – make the wrong choice, and you could be in serious trouble. Finally, it's time for explosives. You'll grab frag grenades and need to throw them into openings, using cover like concrete posts to protect yourself. Then, you'll plant explosives on a cinder block wall. A stopwatch will appear, giving you a limited time to get to a safe distance before detonation. Follow Moody's instructions, and you'll be dismissed after a successful demonstration.
