How to prepare for Modern Warfare 2 Atomgrad Raid Episode 3

You’ll need to get two friends to help you tackle Episode 3 since Raids cannot be completed in Solos. It’s important that you and your buddies get headsets or another way of communicating with each other as teamwork is vital to completing the Raid.

Before hopping into the Raid, you’ll want to pick the right Kit, and we recommend that your entire team go with the Assault Kit. This is because it provides you with armor plates and these will help you stay alive during the more challenging sections of Modern Warfare 2 Atomgrad Raid Episode 3.

Get to the elevator

After jumping into the Raid, you’ll have to go through some tunnels while battling soldiers as you make your way toward the elevator. In this section, you’ll need to press the elevator button to bring up and then ride it down.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Take out all the enemies that you encounter and reach the elevator button.
2. Press the button and wait for the elevator to come all the way up.
3. Press the button again and jump on the elevator as it goes down.
4. Once it stops, jump across to the platform in front of you.
5. Defeat all the enemies that you see.
6. Collect a buzzsaw.
7. Use the buzz saw to open a locked door while your teammates defend you.
8. Defeat the remaining enemies.
9. Press the elevator button.
10. Jump back on the elevator and let it take you all the way down.

The good news is that if you miss the elevator when jumping towards it and plummet to the ground, you’ll respawn on the elevator.

Get through the tripwires

Once the elevator reaches the bottom, you’ll enter a long tunnel where you’ll encounter even more enemies to take down. While the enemies themselves won’t be too challenging, at one point, you’ll come across tripwires, and you can climb on the rocks to the left to avoid them.

Here’s how you can get this done:

1. Get off the elevator.
2. Go through the tunnel.
3. Defeat every enemy that you encounter.
4. Climb on the rocks to the left to avoid the tripwires.
5. Crawl under the rocks to get through.
