Objective 3 : Open the gate to the obstacle course

This guide covers Objective 3: Open the gate to the obstacle course in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Learn how to progress through the mission with expert tips.

Alright, let's get this done. So, you're at the part where you need to open the gate to get into the obstacle course. It's pretty straightforward, but pay attention to what Captain Foley is telling you. He'll lay out the orders for the day, and you'll be running the obstacle course with Sergeant Moody.

Before you even get to the gate, Foley wants you to check out five signs around the field. They've got some solid advice on them:

• Use grenades to flush out hard points!
• Attack attack attack! Move together as a team!
• Don't make the same mistake! Always move from cover to cover!
• Always reload before going into battle!
• Suppress then Flank!

After that, Foley will show you how to use the compass. Then, head to the start of the obstacle course. Private Elder and some other soldiers will be there. Once the course starts, you'll be doing the usual: crouching through tunnels, mantling over obstacles, and crawling under barbed wire while an MG42 fires overhead. You'll use ladders to get over some obstacles too.

Once you're through the course, Foley will dismiss the other guys and tell you to head to the firing range. Moody will be waiting for you. You'll grab an M1A1 Carbine and some extra ammo. You'll learn to shoot at targets from different stances, both still and moving, and how to reload. Then you'll switch to a Springfield and practice aiming down the sights. After that, it's the Thompson, and Moody will remind you that you can only carry two primary weapons at a time. You'll also get some practice with melee attacks and learn that different weapons are good for different situations.

Next up is the grenade range. Grab some Mk 2 Frag Grenades and toss them into the windows of a target structure. You'll learn to lean out from cover to get a better shot. Finally, you'll learn about Medical Kits and then grab a charge of TNT. Use that to blow up a cinder block wall, which teaches you about timed explosives. After that, Moody will let you know you can either go back through the course for more practice or exit. You've basically opened the gate by completing the training objectives!
