    RamdeltI played through the entire mission on Regular a number of times and never received the XM-25 as a drop. I did some more testing and here is my guess on the issue and how to resolve it. I believe that the game sees the self revive and turret as a higher priority and therefore it wants to give you each of these first. When I wasn't getting the XM-25 it was because I had already used the turret or the self-revive, or both and therefore it wanted to give both back to me rather than offering the XM-25. To get the XM-25 to be dropped, I picked up the self-revive and immediately requested 2 drops. The first is always the sentry and second will be the XM-25. I recommend picking up the XM-25 first, then either dropping it to get your preferred gun back, or going to pick up the sentry. I never liked setting up the sentry until later and therefore setting it up and then moving was a real pain. I chose to kill a person or 2 with the XM-25 and pick back up my preferred weapon before moving through the level as normal. If you are doing this on regular as I did, be sure to get dropped somewhere along the way because I also missed the achievement once because of this. Also, if you get part way in and are only seeing self revives and turrets getting dropped, you may as well start over because it isn't going to happen. Hope this helps.

    There are three different care packages.

    Self Revive
    Sentry Gun
    Arsenal (XM25)

    Call in care packages with right on the D-pad and throw the marker where you want it.

    Pick up the Self Revive that's sitting on the ground at the start. You must go down, but don't get another self revive.

    You can throw as many care packages as you want, but only pick up one XM25 and one Sentry Gun.

    HolyMollsterI've just got this achievement but I noticed you don't get the xm25 crate until you deploy your sentry gun.

    GanluanYou don't need to use them all, I never fired the XM25 and got the achievement.

    ZymoticThanks! I had no idea you had to go down with the revive. After doing it twice I was starting to wonder why it wasn't working.

    The guide covers the new DLC spec ops mission "Special Delivery" and also covers how to get the "Untouchable", "Discriminating Buyer", "Deliver This", and "Handle with Care" achievements from the same level. Enjoy!

    My take on getting Deliver This and the other three achievements for this mission.

    At the start, pick up the Barret .50cal sniper and self-revive. Move up the the forklift and kill the guys in the building and then the two RPG guys in glass building slightly to the right of the other guys.

    Move up to the far left wall, just behind the fence. Throw your first care package here and clear out this area. Watch for guys on the catwalk up on the top left and guys that repel down from the building and fast rope from the helicopter.

    Once you round the next corner of the building to the right, watch out for 5-6 guys that rush you. They can be taken out with your M4 from behind the barrels for cover.

    Move up to the left and the pillar that is closest to the way point, throw down a sentry turret that you may have got from a care package. Eliminate the guys down that walkway and wait for the first helicopter to come and drop troops on the other side. Remember to keep trying to get the XM-25 care package if you have not already gotten it.

    When the helicopter starts dropping troops, shoot them out of the back of the helicopter before they fast rope down. It will cause them to fall to their death.

    Once the helicopter troops are gone, move forward and take one of the packages that you need. Once you get it, prepare for a slight ambush and make your way back to the pillar and sentry turret. You will repeat this until you have all three packages.

    Once you have all three packages and the area is clear, you can move to the extraction zone. On the other side of the room at the door, a group of soldiers and one juggernaut will show up, use you flash bangs and 50 cal to eliminate them. Then move to the lone survivor and revive him.

    All this can be taken in from my video below.
