Mission 2: Atlas: Veteran Tips

Master Mission 2: Atlas in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare with these veteran tips. Learn strategies for the pool area, assault mode, house interior, and dealing with the Warbird.

Alright, let's get you through Mission 2: Atlas on Veteran. This one's got a few tricky spots, but with the right approach, you'll be golden.

Area 1 - Pool Area
This first part is pretty straightforward. You're on higher ground with a wall for cover, so just take your time and pick off the enemies below. Nothing too wild here, just get comfortable with your aim.

Area 2 - Assault Mode
Okay, this is where things pick up. They're coming at you now, so no more sneaking. Your best bet is to find cover behind the rocks immediately. Remember to use your Overdrive ability to slow down time – it's a lifesaver for taking out multiple enemies quickly. Also, those Threat Grenades are crucial here; toss them to spot enemies hiding in the dark. Don't let them get the drop on you.

Area 3 - Inside House
When you breach the door, be ready to toss a grenade right away and then get out of the blast zone. Keep tossing grenades until the gunfire stops. Move through the bedrooms as fast as you can; the quicker you are, the less chance you have of taking damage.

Area 4 - Pool Area Again
You'll revisit the pool area, but this time it's a bit different. You have a chance to complete an Exo Challenge here by killing as many enemies as possible with grenades. If you're looking to maximize your score or just want to clear the area efficiently, get your Drone ready and take out all the enemies, plus that truck. It's a good opportunity to practice your targeting.

Area 5 - After President’s Withdrawal
This part can look intimidating, but stick close to your squad. Use your shield to block incoming fire until the Warbird arrives to help. Keep an eye on the brick pillars for cover and use your Threat Grenades to scout out any enemies trying to flank you. Stay patient, let the support arrive, and you'll get through it.
