    Mission 5: Deep Cover

    Throughout this mission it's recommended to just walk as running appears to alert the enemies. Walking near enemies and becoming suspicious (Yellow Diamond) is fine as long as the enemies don't become hostile (Red Diamond).

    Soon as you start the mission and have control of Kate the timer will start. Instantly holster your pistol by pressing cn_right, then mantle over the two sandbag walls directly in front of you. Closely follow behind the LTV, giving a wide birth to both the left and right patrols that appear. At the first corner cut directly through the hanger in front of you and out the other side. Turn left and head towards the security checkpoint, the guard near the back will start walking forward, so bare left, go behind him and through the checkpoint. Walk into the courtyard, you'll see a guard walking up some stairs between two vehicles. Head towards those stairs, be aware that another guard does patrol between those vehicles as you approach. Squeeze past him, go up the stairs and kill the female guard in the room silently cn_RSc. Within a few seconds the Major should follow you up the stairs, equip your pistol cn_right and headshot him as he walks into the room. Hold cn_X to loot his keycard. If done within 90 seconds the achievement should pop. See my video guide for more detail:

    Ssj Seanpopped later for me but guide was spot on. I cheated up the right side wall at the beginning and left around the jeep just before going up the stairs to kill the lady guard it got some looks but not enough to warrant an alarm.

    MW3 - Back in the Field
    Acquire the Major's keycard in 'Deep Cover' within 90 seconds without being detected

    Mission Deep Cover
    This achievement requires you to stay in stealth & make it all the way to the private room with the Major to grab his keycard in 90 seconds or less (this time limit is not forgiving, I had about 4 seconds to spare on my run). At the mission start you must put your gun away & make sure not to sprinting or crouch near any enemies. Follow the main path towards the base of operations, and you'll have to make it into the container room near the middle. You can play out the mission to see where the Major goes & restart it if you want. Kill the enemy in the container then wait for the Major near the top of the stairs. Once he enters the room a few steps kill him & grab the keycard. If done quickly enough the achievement will unlock, if not restart the mission. Fallow my video below for the exact path & more information.

    Dragon SmackPerfect route! Took three tries but once I figured out to stay a hair left of the guard shack so guard didn't alert, the achievement popped. Takes a few seconds after you pick up Key Card btw

    Mission: Deep Cover
    Difficulty: Any (Recruit recommended)

    This requires you to spawn and stay in stealth, make it all the way to the private room with the Major to grab his keycard in 90 seconds or less. Once you start you'll want to put your gun away and avoid sprinting or crouching near any "enemies". Follow the main path towards the base of operations, and you'll have to make it into the container near the middle. You can play out the mission to see where the Major goes and restart it if you'd like. Clear out the enemy in the container, and wait for the Major near the top of the stairs. Once he enters, take him out, grab the keycard, and if done quickly enough, the achievement unlocks. Otherwise restart the mission.
