How to unlock the MW2 - Going Dark achievement

    The following cheese has been patched: Rumor has it you can run through the mission loud and collect all three objectives. Once you have the third and final objective - get both yourselves killed and "Retry". This should reload a previous checkpoint and pop the "Going Dark" achievement. A full "legitimate" walkthrough can be found below:

    Done on Online Co-Op Mission: Low Profile. You'll need a friend to help you with this as it can't be done solo (unless they disconnect) nor via split screen. The objective here is to collect all three balls of nuclear material without raising the alarm. You are OK to kill hostiles as long as they don't fire/shout and raise an audible alarm. If they do, simply get killed and "Retry" to return to a previous checkpoint. There's a total of 4 checkpoints within the level.

    Objective A - Armoury:
    I found landing on the highest point of the roof worked best. From here killing the 3 enemies on the roof, which in turn will alert 5 more from within the building itself. Wait on the staircase and shoot each one as they come through the door. Now with most of the building clear we can head in, disable the laser mines and collect the first nuclear ball. Once collected we get a new checkpoint. Head back up to the roof and parachute off towards the Barracks.

    Objective B - Barracks:
    Climb up the ladder on the back of the building to gain access to the skylight. Directly under the skylight we'll find an enemy, shoot him and camp out his body until you've removed everyone from the top floor. When quiet drop down the skylight to collect the second nuclear ball. Here another checkpoint will kick in - do your best to exit the building from the ground floor and head west. If you get spotted just die and "Retry" to respawn again under the skylight.

    Objective C - Comms Centre:
    This one I found the trickiest of the three! The material can spawn in one of two buildings. For whatever reason I couldn't get into the smaller building without raising the alarm. So would just die and retry until it appeared in the bigger building. In the larger comms building you can actually get in via the balcony by mantling on top of the blue cargo container, climbing up and walking through the door. Here you'll need to clear one guard to hopefully collect the last objective.

    Once you pick up the third objective the achievement will pop. You don't need to do the escape section quietly!

    Venus271828- I got this achievement solo. This method is the best way of doing it :

    - There is a point on the map you can go to and it will allow you to snipe most of the enemies without triggering any alarms, even if you miss your shots. For some reason, enemies are not able to track you in this location. Do not shoot the juggernaut because he is slow and can be easily avoided
    - A -> For this building, eliminate the 3 enemies in the rooms by shooting them in the head through the door. The recon’s radar will highlight the enemies , it takes one shot in the head to take them out through the door.
    - C -> There should be no enemies here, except the juggernaut, because you should have snipe most of them in the beginning of the game
    - B -> This should be the final item to collect. Go inside this building by dropping from the hole in the roof, after eliminating the 2 guards.

    I confirmed (31st Dec 2022) that need to be 1 play-through to be collected 3 targets. If alarmed, you need to leave a game and start new game from the beginning.

    Solo play is the easiest way for me. By joining a game, then sitting and do nothing on the plan until other guy leave the game (Sorry for that cry). Then you can start the game with solo.

    I followed this guide to get this achievement.

    I just did this achievement on solo (sorry to anyone who started this mission with me).

    The cheevo is not glitched.
    The main thing you need to remember is that checkpoints compromise the achievement, which means you cannot kill yourself and restart the match at any point, wven at the beginning. You need to complete the run flawlessly from the beginning (you have to see the character taking pills in airplane). If you restart your run you do not see the pills scene, cheevo will not pop, because you used restart, which counts as using checkpoint.
    I completed the run on One in the Chamber mode, my route was B->A->C.

    I hope this helps anyone who was wondering why it wasn’t popping even if no alarms were triggered.
