Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) is considered a “soft boot” of the first game in the “Modern Warfare” franchise. The game has realistic graphics, agile and dynamic gameplay, where wars take place in modern times accompanied by a good plot.

This CoD is the easiest to platinum in the entire franchise, it has a short campaign and simple trophies. The game contains online multiplayer mode, but there is no trophy related to it and its difficulty (“Veteran”) is not as difficult as it seems. To win all the trophies, you only need to make specific trophies for each chapter. In addition to being easy, they are self-descriptive, that is, the trophy description itself teaches you how to do it.

I separated the trophies that must be made in each chapter, chronologically, so it will be more organized to achieve them. It is important to know that the “Reset last checkpoint” option should be used if you were unable to get a trophy, it is essential to use this feature. The guide has many explanatory images, showing the location of what you need to do, check them out to get a sense of the location.

It is necessary to beat the game on the “Veteran” difficulty, however, I strongly recommend that you beat the “Recruit” difficulty for the first time to get the trophies, as it will be almost impossible to do them on the “Veteran” difficulty.

The game contains a very easy free DLC trophy and its explanation is at the end of the guide. This trophy is not necessary for the platinum trophy, but it is necessary to obtain 100% completion of trophies/achievements, if you are playing on Xbox One or PC.

Note: Trophies may take a few seconds to appear on the screen.

The game was played on Playstation 4; and all screenshots were captured during gameplay.

Five o’clock Tea – Complete the campaign on any difficulty.

Die Hard – Complete all solo missions on Veteran or Realism difficulty

Mission 1: Fog of War

Where the Owl Sleeps – Neutralize the machine gun in ‘Fog of War’ with a frag grenade.

Right after your companion opens a door and dies, a machine gun will shoot at you. Just get to the artillery and drop a grenade there, but along the way you need to eliminate the enemies to open the way. Near the stairs, throw the fragmentation grenade by pressing R1. Check out the images.

Mission 2: Piccadilly

Civilized – Don’t hit civilians on ‘Piccadilly’.

During this mission many civilians will appear, simply don’t shoot at any civilians and only shoot at the terrorists, they will be armed and in different clothes.

Deadly Line – Eliminate an enemy while in ‘The Reading Place’, ‘Aura Chic’ and the two subway stations.

It is necessary to eliminate an enemy that is within these locations. See the location of the places in the images below:

At the beginning of the mission, on the right side.

At the beginning of the mission, on the left side.

In the center of the courtyard, on the right.

The large building that will be marked on the map.

Mission 3: Infiltrators

Companion Block – Use just one cinder block and carry it to the end of ‘Departed’.

Farah will tell you to disguise yourself as a worker to get past the guards. Pick up the concrete block and carry this brick until the end of the mission, you will get this concrete block compulsorily to blend in with the crowd. When the objective of setting up the explosives appears, leave the block near Farah and install the bombs on the helicopters, then return to her, take the block and detonate the explosives. It has to be the same brick, you can restart the mission if you get another one.

Sudden Death – Eliminate all enemies in the corpse area in ‘Infiltrators’.

When there is an area full of corpses, Farah will tell you not to move, but equip a weapon and eliminate them all.

Mission 4: Proxy War

The three trophies for this mission can be obtained in the same location, when you conquer one, restart the last control point in the pause menu to conquer the other.

Free Fall – Bring down a helicopter by shooting its pilot.

At the start of the mission, pick up the Kar98 Scoped Rifle that is leaning against a crate. A little further on, two enemy helicopters will appear, but focus on the one flying close to the ground and eliminate its pilot. This could be the first trophy for this mission.

To Dust You Shall Return – Burn 4 enemies with a single molotov.

Once you have completed the above trophy, restart the control point. Run towards the same helicopter that will land and throw the molotov at the four enemies that will come out of it, but aim for the center of the area. Restart at the last checkpoint in the pause menu to do the trophy below and you will probably get the “Firebird” trophy.

Firebird – Take down a helicopter in flight with a molotov

Reset the control point and go towards the same helicopter and you should throw the molotov at it instead of the people.

A little further on, focus on this helicopter.

mission 5: Clean House

X-Ray Vision – Prevent Alpha 3-2 from being eliminated.

When going to the second floor, you need to shoot the door when you are about halfway up the stairs, eliminate those in that room and search all the rooms. The trophy will appear right after Price says “Good job on that door, Garrick.” After earning this trophy, restart the mission to get the trophy below, “Cleaning Up”.

On the stairs, going to the second floor, rifle this door.

Cleaning Up – Complete ‘Clean House’ without being hit and using only one bullet per threat.

Simply kill anyone who points a gun at you and don’t kill unarmed people.

You can only eliminate enemies when they have a gun in their hand aiming at you, if you kill someone unarmed you lose the trophy and you only need to fire a shot at one enemy. There are many people who don’t have weapons but then they pick them up, be aware of that. Reset the checkpoint if it is hit or fired twice.

Mission 6: Hunting Party

Press [BOOM!] to disarm – Blow up 3 weapons with explosives.

Disable 3 traps spread across the map, you can disarm them by pressing square or destroy them with a projectile, but you have to destroy them by shooting with a grenade launcher and shoot in such a way that the grenade launcher’s grenade will explode, for me, there were moments when the grenade did not explode. It’s not worth pressing square, be careful not to run out of grenade launcher ammunition, there are only 6 and there are 6 explosives in total. These traps are very visible.

Smoke – Eliminate an enemy by hitting them directly with a smoke grenade.

Inside the destroyed hospital there will be an enemy lying on the hospital bed in one of the rooms on the left, run towards him, eliminate some enemies quickly and throw a large smoke at the enemy lying on the stretcher to finish him off. Restart the checkpoint if it dies early.

Going through the rooms on the left, throw the smoke grenade at this enemy.

Mission 7: The Embassy

Love in the Heights – Destroy 4 trucks with 4 drone attacks before they reach their destinations in ‘The Embassy’.

At the end of this mission, use the drone to eliminate four enemy trucks while they are moving, if it stops it means you have reached your destination. If this happens, restart the last control point, you can fire several times. Ignore the first vehicle as it will be a civilian.

Prevent vehicles from reaching their destination.

Mission 8: Death Road

Mandatory Stop – Shoot the driver of the suicide truck.

At a certain point, a driver will come towards you, Farah will tell you to eliminate him, aim for the truck driver’s head.

Stopping Power – Stop three armored vehicles with the Hadir sniper rifle.

To neutralize an armored vehicle you need to shoot three of its six wheels with “Hadir’s Sniper Rifle” that Hadir will give you, he will have a tutorial on how to shoot with this rifle at long distances. There are four armored vehicles in total. The armored vehicles will appear after the Russian MIG attack, white smoke will appear to the left of where they are.

Shoot at three wheels, out of six, out of three armored vehicles.

Mission 9: Homeland

Two Rabbits – Eliminate both soldiers with a single shot in ‘Homeland’.

After separating from Hadir, distract the soldiers, by pressing the up arrow, the soldiers will go wherever Hadir is. Distract them first and grab the revolver on the table. Get into a position where you can hit both soldiers and fire. Check out the image below.

You should line up the enemies something like this.

Mission 10: Wolf’s Lair

Light at the End of the Tunnel – Go through the tunnels of ‘Wolf’s Lair’ using only the 1911.

This trophy starts to be valid when you are with Alex when going down the tunnel. You will start with the 1911 pistol, do not change weapons. Only use the 1911 to complete this part, there is plenty of ammunition, but aim for the torso, neck or head. I particularly like this pistol, as it is the same one used in “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots”.

Climbing Up – Eliminate 3 enemies while on a ladder.

When you come across a wooden area on fire, do not eliminate the enemies that appear and run to the stairs, when you are there, eliminate the three enemies that are most visible. Restart the checkpoint if you failed.

During the first staircase, you will encounter enemies.

Mission 11: Former Comrades

Kusparov – Spit on Barkov

With Farah, at the beginning of the interrogation, spit in Barkov’s face when the answer options appear on the screen, press R2 or R3 to win the trophy. By the way, I thought the name of this trophy was brilliant, credits to the Brazilian translation.

Press R2 or R3 when Barkov asks the first question.

Escaping the Club – Don’t get hit by the sniper while escaping.

After leaving the prison with your companions and the sniper starts shooting, avoid getting in front of the laser sight and go on the flanks until you reach him.

Mission 12: Cutting Communication

Novel of Eight – Get at least one kill with eight different weapons when completing ‘Old Comrades’.

There are several different weapons in this mission, pick up the different weapons that enemies drop after dying, you will get the trophy when you are escaping with the van.

Mission 13: Cutting Communication

The two trophies in this mission are related, go to the marked locations by pressing the dualshock “touchpad” to turn off the power in these areas and eliminate them all without being seen. The tip is to do the “Blackout” trophy first to have the advantage of darkness.

Blackout – Turn off the electricity in 4 buildings in ‘Cutting Communication’.

It is necessary to disconnect the 4 power fuses, the first being mandatory, and the rest optional. The fuses are easy to locate, if you lose them press the “touchpad” to locate the areas.

In the Dead of Night – Eliminate enemies in the church, clock tower and pool without reinforcements being called.

This is the most complicated trophy. You must kill all enemies in these areas stealthily, but they can see the dead bodies. If you don’t receive the trophy after neutralizing everyone, restart the mission and try again. Do not reset the control point in this mission and it is not necessary to eliminate enemies that are not within these areas and be aware that the number of enemies may vary. I recommend doing it in order:

Clock tower: 10 enemies, 1 in front, 10 inside and 1 behind the house.

Church: 13 enemies in total, 4 in the cemetery, 4 inside, 3 on the road and 2 that will arrive as reinforcements.

Swimming pool: enemies in total, 2 near the entrance gate, 3 outside and 4 inside.

Mission 14: Inside the Furnace

Raining Fire – Reach the entrance to Barkov’s lab using only drone strikes.

At the beginning of this mission, just use the drone attack to eliminate enemies, stay hidden and use the drone whenever it becomes available. Equip the D-pad (up arrow), aim (L2) and fire (R2).

Only use the UAV until you enter the building in this mission.

Trophy for the “Special Operations” expansion – It is necessary to have a Playstation Plus subscription, as it is online.

Liberation – Complete all Special Operations missions.

In the game’s home menu, choose the “COOP” option instead of the campaign. There are several operations in total, but you will only need to do 4 for the trophy, which are: Hunting Day, Kuvaldo, Paladin and Crosswind. It can be done in any order.

The operations are very difficult, because the enemies are infinite until you complete the mission. The tip I give is: focus only on the objective and know how to manage the items. It is necessary to have a team of 4 players to start the missions, it can be random players or a group of friends, but as there are not many players playing currently, the most practical thing is to do it with friends and communicate with each other to develop strategies.
