The computer display reveals photos of chemical weapons on a pallet from the Urzikstan nuclear facility.
Gaz: Laswell. It was chemical weapons.
Vladimir Makarov's mugshot is displayed.
Gaz: Makarov has highly concentrated Sarin gas.
Laswell: Did you secure it?
Ghost: Negative.
Soap: Captain almost died tryin'...
Laswell: Where is he?
Price: I'm here, Laswell... Where are the missiles?
Images of a nuclear facility in Urzikstan are displayed.
Laswell: I've tracked Farah's missiles to an abandoned bunker complex... built during the Cold War.
Gaz: We know those bunkers...
An image of Farah is displayed.
Price: So does Farah. Why does Konni Group need a silo for portable missiles?
Laswell: Exactly.
Tabs of Price and Gaz's teams are displayed on the map.
Price: We'll split up- I'll RV with Farah just off the X.
An image of a missile launcher displays.
Gaz: We'll spread out and sweep the complex. Get those missiles back...
Images of Arklov Base in Kastovia are revealed. A redacted image of Laswell's contact is displayed next.
Laswell: Good. I'm heading to Arklov to meet a contact who may be able to help us.
Price: Kastovian military base...? How you gettin' in there alive?
Laswell: Carefully... I'll report back when I'm able.
Price: Alright. See you on the other side.
An image of Price and Farah's tab is displayed next.
Laswell: Good hunting, Bravo.
The scene shifts to a forest in Urzikstan. Price waits by a rock face for Farah.
Price: Six to Ghost- At the rally point, what's your status?
Ghost: On target at Charlie- You got Alpha, Kilo takes Bravo.
Price hears rocks crumbling on the rock wall behind him and swings his weapon around on alert. 
Price: Rog. Stand by.
Price sees Farah rappel down the rock side and relaxes while annoyed.
Price: Fuck sake, Farah...
Farah: Head on a swivel, old man...
Farah taps Price's arm.
Price: Russia's back in Urzikstan.
Farah: Contractors.
Price: Konni group. Pulled a stash of chemicals from up north yesterday...
Farah: ...Stole my missiles at sunrise.
Price: All less than 24 hours after Vladimir Makarov walked himself out of prison.
Farah: Works quickly.
Price: Yeah... Well, he's makin' up for lost time, isn't he?
Farah: Let's move.
Price and Farah start walking through the forest.
Price: Who sent you the missiles?
Farah: Shadow Company.
Price: Shadow Company don't have that kind of firepower. They're errand boys with tac vests.
Farah: They're allies.
Price: They carried out a hit on my men.
Farah stops walking and turns to face Price.
Farah: Commander Graves did this?
Price: Yeah, well, he had orders, yeah.
Farah: From who?
Price: General Shepherd. 
Price and Farah resume walking.
Price: Did Shepherd send you those missiles?
Farah: My weapons are my business.
Price: These are very dangerous men, Farah.
Farah: We are all dangerous, Captain. Look... I never want to lie to you, but I can't tell you everything... What you call classified, I call secrets. My country is under siege again. My brother warned us...
Price;: This could go a lot deeper than Urzikstan.
Farah: Well, then let's help each other... Like always... I hope you'll trust me.
Price: Implicitly.
Farah: Good... I'll see you on the other side.
Farah taps Price's arm as she and Price split up and walk off in different directions.
Cut to black.

ATOMGRAD BUNKER, URZIKSTAN
11 NOVEMBER 2023, 1500
Gaz: Copy. Your drone's on station. You and Farah have the con.
The camera switches to a POV of the drone as Price takes control of it. The drone flies over the facility, scouting out enemy positions and the terrain.
Price: Affirm.
Gaz: Lotta Russians. Konni's brought an army into Urzikstan.
Ghost: No missiles in sight.
Soap: They're in the bunkers then.
Farah: I see an entry point. Marking now. You'll need keycard to get in.
Soap: Farah's right- We took down a captain in our sector with a keycard earlier. Had a red beret.
Price: Roger, red beret.
Farah: I spotted one near the steel buildings, north of the entry.
The camera switches out of the drone's POV and to Captain Price's as he puts away the drone tablet.
Farah: The captain will have a keycard. Track him down. He wears a red beret.
Price: And you?
Farah: I know another way in.
Price: Copy. Alright, stay on comms. I'll see you inside.
Price makes his way down the mountain to the facility as he crosses the grassy fields.
Price: Pushing down from the mountain side.
Farah: The field may conceal your movement.
Price: Right. Silent and violent.
Farah: Six- Drone's still up. Use it if you need it. 
Price notices the flags of the Urzikstan Liberation Front draped throughout the facility.
Price: Six to all stations, Konni's planting ULF fingerprints on the base.
Gaz: Makarov's launching a false flag attack. Those missiles are American. He's pinning it on Farah and the West...
Farah: He wants the world to think I'm the enemy.
Price: We need to find out what the target is before it's too late.
Price spots a Konni sniper placed in a tower.
Price: Sniper up on the tower.
Farah: Your shot, your call...
(Every time Price kills an enemy soldier...)
Price: Minus one.; He never saw it coming.; Two for one.; That's one more.; Another one down.
(Every time Price almost gives himself away...)
Konni Soldier: Heard something near me...
(Every time Price alerts Konni soldiers to his presence in the area...)
Konni Soldier: Enemy's right here!; Contact! Enemy!; Contact! Enemy here!
(Every time Konni soldiers engage Price in combat...)
Konni Soldier: Moving behind the enemy!; Repositioning behind the enemy!; Dump 'em!; Engage!; Give 'em some!; Go hot!; You're cleared hot!; Start smokin' 'em!
(Every time Price evades Konni soldiers...)
Konni Soldier: Where the fuck're they at?!
Price dispatches the soldiers around the facility's perimeter.
Price: Cleared the perimeter.
Farah: Copy. Find the Captain, get his keycard.
Gaz: Be advised: Soap and Ghost are in. Spotty signals underground.
Price: Copy. We find the missiles and relay when we can.
Gaz: Check.
Price reaches the northern steel buildings. He enters the first building.
Price: Building 1. Making entry.
Price enters the next building.
Price: Checking Building 2.
Price spots the Konni Captain.
Price: I got eyes on the Captain!/Visual on the Captain.
Price kills the Konni Captain.
Price: Kilo- Konni Captain's down!/Konni Captain's down.
Farah: You need that keycard for entry.; Confirm when you get the keycard.
Price retrieves the keycard from the Captain's body.
Price: Keycard's secure!/Got the keycard.
(If Price was stealthy up to this point...)
Farah: Copy that. I've found an infil point, I'll see you inside. Kilo out.
(Otherwise...)
Farah: Captain, you have more Konni pushing on your location. Use the keycard to get in.
Price: All part of the plan!
Farah: Get through--door-- I'll find you inside. --Pushing interior.
Price makes his way to the bunker door and uses the keycard to enter.
Price: I'm in!/All Stations- Moving interior.
Gaz: Actual, be advised: We've got multiple silos. No eyes on the missiles yet.
(If Price alerted the enemy soldiers to his location...)
Farah: Watch your six, old man. They know we're here now!
Price: Affirmative. Let's find those missiles.
Price reaches an elevator shaft and overhears Konni soldiers.
(If Price was stealthy up to this point...)
Konni Soldier: Patrols on the surface went quiet.
Konni Soldier: Copy that. I can send scouts up to check.
Konni Soldier: Negative. Hold your position.
(Otherwise...)
Konni Soldier: No sign of them yet!
Konni Soldier: Watch the elevator shaft, it's the only way down!
Price uses his ascender to glide down the elevator cable. He kills the Konni soldiers guarding the elevator shaft before moving down the corridor to the guard room where three Konni soldiers are posted inside.
Konni Soldier: 2-3, do you copy? Come in, 2-3...
The soldiers spot Price and close the doors, trapping Price inside.
Konni Soldier: Doors are sealed!
Konni Soldier: Surface Commander, we have an enemy trapped in the bunker. Requesting backup.
Konni Soldier: Drop your weapon! Do it now!
Price: Never.
The ceiling vent in the guard room opens up and Farah drops down into the room, effortlessly killing the three soldiers inside. She then opens the door for Price.
Farah: Got your back, Captain.
Price: Appreciate the assist, Kilo.
Price and Farah meet up in the guard room where they hear Konni soldiers in the server room.
Konni Soldier: They're in the guard room, get ready!
Farah: They know we're here. Don't hold back. On you.
Price opens the doors to the server room.
Farah: Guns and grenades here. Go loud.
Price: Let's move.
Farah: On your six.
Price and Farah move through the server room, killing any soldiers inside.
Konni Soldier: They're coming this way!; Enemy sighted! Engaging!; If you see movement, kill it.; Shit!
Farah: Check your corners! Keep pushing! We have to clear this room!
Price and Farah kill all the soldiers in the room and move up the stairs to a hallway.
Price: Pushing up top!
Konni Soldier: Get ready for the bastards, they're coming!
Farah: End of the hallway, keep moving.
Price and Farah reach the end of the hallway and hear Konni soldiers in the other room.
Konni Soldier: Unload on them when they come around the corner.; I'm in position!; Guns on the door! They're coming!; These motherfuckers die here!; No prisoners! Kill them all!
Price and Farah dispatch the soldiers inside.
Price: Clear.
Konni Soldier: All units. Initiating launch sequence. Keep the missile secure. Eliminate the intruders. 
Konni Soldier: Does anyone have eyes on them?
Konni Soldier: They're on the other side of the door!
Price and Farah enter the missile control room and engage more Konni soldiers.
Farah: Move to cover!; Shooters up top!; Keep pushing! We have to get through this room!
Price and Farah eventually eliminate all the soldiers in the room. The ground shakes as a rumbling heard is sound.
Farah: Captain, do you hear that?
Price: They're opening the blast door!
Farah: They're trying to launch the missile! We need to get through those rooms.
Price and Farah reach a stairwell leading up to the second floor.
Farah: This way, we have to push up to the second floor!
Price and Farah reach the second floor.
Price: Can we use these computers to deactivate the launch?
Farah: Negative. I'll need to access the control box on the missile.
Price and Farah push through the walkway and upper rooms to reach the silo.
Farah: The door to the silo's at the end of the walkway. Go! If we can get to the missile, I might be able to disarm it.
Price and Farah reach the door to the silo.
Farah: The launch platform is on the other side of this door.
Price: Copy...
Farah pushes the door button, but to no avail.
Farah: It's locked. I'll get it open, standby!
(If Price gets to the door first...)
Price: I'm at the door!
Price pushes the door button, but to no avail.
Farah: I'll get it open, standby!
Farah starts cross-wiring the door panel. Soap chimes in on the radio.
Soap: All stations, we've located two missiles--------the warheads are capped with chemicals---I say again, the missiles have chemical warheads!
Price: 7-1- repeat your last...
The radio crackles with static. 
Price: Fucking hell...
Farah finishes cross-wiring the panel and the door opens.
Farah: Door's open. This way. Let's move.
Price and Farah move through a service tunnel leading into the silo and spot two Konni soldiers preparing to launch the missile and defend it.
Konni Soldier: All units to the missile silo. Defend the launch!
Price and Farah eliminate the two soldiers.
Farah: Clear.
Price and Farah drop down to the silo floor.
Farah: The missile--! They're going to launch it, Captain...!
Price: Fuck...
Gaz chimes in on the radio.
Gaz: 0-6, come in. Captain, do you copy?
Price: Go for Six...
Gaz; Konni's put Makarov's chemicals into the warheads. They're gonna launch... 
Farah: My missiles, my flags.... My country...
Price: He wants the world to think you did this...
Farah: If these missiles launch, they will...
Farah inspects the warheads on the table.
Farah: The chemicals- This missile has them too...
Farah retrieves the missile control box.
Price: Farah, these are your missiles. There has to be a way to disarm it.
Farah: There is- get on the control box. We can do this together... 
Farah sets the control box on a crate and operates the tablet for it, while Price mans the box.
Farah: I'm in.
Price: Ready...
Farah: Stand by...
Farah operates the tablet for a moment. The missile begins to wind up.
Farah: It's too late to disarm. We have to let it launch... 
Price: What...!?
Farah: We close the blast door and detonate...
Price: Containing the chemicals in the bunker...
Farah: Yes... Get to the surface, find the blast door controls and close it, Captain.
Price: Where will you be?
Farah: I'll get to a safe position and hold the launch as long as I can... Go- NOW!!!
Price heads to the silo doors where he hears Konni soldiers on the other side.
Konni Soldier: They're in the missile room!
Konni Soldier: And that's where they die!
Konni Soldier: Defend the launch!
Konni Soldier: Protect the launch!
Farah: Konni! Prep for contact!
The sliding doors open as Konni troops spill into the silo. Price guns them down before
Farah: I'll hold the launch as long as I can. Just get to that tower, fast.
Price moves through the doors and makes his way through the tunnels until he encounters more Konni troops and a juggernaut.
Price: Enemy Juggernaut!
Price shoots down the juggernaut and any troops in the tunnels.
Soap: All stations, Konni's initiated missile launch at my location. I can't stop it.
Price: What is the target?
Soap: Arklov Base in Kastovia!
Price: Oh no... Laswell...
(Two minutes left on the clock...)
Farah: Two minutes to launch. Captain, we're running out of time. Get to the surface.
(One minute left on the clock...)
Farah: Sixty seconds! Get to the control tower!
Price reaches the end of the tunnel and uses his ascender to climb back up to the surface.
Price: Kilo- ascending now.
Farah: Copy- go to the tower- get to the controls...
Price spots a Konni attack helicopter arriving with enemy reinforcements.
Gaz: Cap, I've got a visual on a Konni helo incoming on your position. They're bringing in reinforcements! You need to move!
Price: Konni's all over the surface. They're guarding the tower.
Farah: Cut through them. I'll hold the launch as long as I can.
Price: Together then.
Price fights and kills the Konni soldiers, including another juggernaut. He eventually moves up to the control tower where two more Konni soldiers are stationed.
Price: Pushing into the control tower! Farah-!
Konni Soldier: They're coming!
Konni Soldier: Launch the missiles! I'll cover you!
Konni Soldier: Stage 1 complete. Stage 2...complete!
Price enter the control room and dispatches the two soldiers inside before moving to the control panel. 
Price: Kilo-- Closing the blast doors now!
Price pulls back the lever, sealing the silo hatch doors completely. An explosion rings out below the surface, kicking up a huge plume of dust and sand everywhere.
Price: Kilo--! Farah--!! Do you copy...? Farah- Can you hear me?
Farah: Loud and clear, Captain. Detonation complete. Missile is dead, chemicals contained.
A look of relief appears on Price's face.
Price: Rog. Bravo- gimme a sitrep!
Soap: We're too late, Captain-- Konni surrounded the controls-!
Price: Gaz- what does he mean?
Gaz: Two missiles... Launching now from your northwest...
Price: No, no-- Kate...!!
Price runs outside.
End of level.
== Cutscene ==
Two missiles on the horizon launch into the air. Price watches helplessly from afar.
Price: Oh, fuck... No!
Price gets on the radio.
Price: Six to Watcher- Six to Watcher...! Kate... Laswell, are you there?! This is Six in the blind- We have two missiles incoming to the Arklov Base... They have chemical warheads... If you're there, get out NOW...!!
Price looks back up to the sky one last time.
