How to unlock the Scorched Earth II achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - Definitive Guide

In order to play the Final Countdown mission, you need to pick the "[Truth] Solovetsky. It's Solovetsky Monastery" option when you are being interrogated by Adler during Identity Crisis. After this you’ll have unlocked the Final Countdown mission.

At the start of this mission right after the EMP goes off you’ll be holding a War machine. The first Watchtower will be on your right, then shoot the truck that’s just behind the tower on the left. After this there’s a truck on your right and left and right again. After the four trucks there will be two Watchtowers in front of you, take them out. Then there will be two more Watchtowers just after this.

This took me a fair few tries to do as it’s fairly fast this section. I would advise restarting the mission, as the War machine was glitching out on me by not firing properly when using restart checkpoint.

If you are still struggling, feel free to use this video as a reference.


Hope this helped.

Good Guide. Absolutely awful achievement. For the last two towers, aim higher than you think you need to.

Idk if it will help others, I managed to get it in about 4 goes by not aiming down on sight. Found it way easier that way

After roughly half an hour, I can vouch that aiming higher than you think you need to be for the final two towers helped me unlock the achievement.

Especially since it is a challenge with such short timing.

Just did it, thanks for the guide. I had to reload the checkpoint a bunch of times bc the war machine would take multiple grenades to destroy one thing prob misfire as stated above. I never restarted the mission so it won't always misfire.

Excellent video. Took me a couple dozen tries. Thank God for the Series X quick checkpoint reload screens. Would have been painful with all my retires. +1

Its so fast, its not even fun or a challenge, just filler. And on the hardest difficulty one bullet kills you, and of course no you cannot take cover

Great video, got it on my fifth try. Also, don't be a weirdo and do this on realism, there is no reason to. Beat the game on realism then come back on do it on recruit. Super easy on recruit.

To play this mission first you have to choose option Truth: Solovetsky. It's Solovetsky when playing the mission Identity Crisis, when Adler asks you where Perseus is.

Recommend firing more than one grenade at a time, 2 or 3.

When approaching the monastery just after the emp explosion you will need to take out all the towers and truck on the approach.

6 x Towers
4 x Trucks

In order:
2 x Towers both sides of the road.
1X Truck just behind left tower (left)
1X Truck opposite side of the road (right)
1x Truck opposite side of the road (left)
1X Truck opposite side of the road (right)
2 x Towers left both sides of the road.
2 x Towers just up ahead, blow these before animation starts. If you missed any before animation starts, restart check point.

Slow motion video for additional help:

At the very start of the mission: Final Count Down you will have control of a grenade launcher... make sure to hit the trucks and guard towers... this took me a few attempts. I have slowed the video down for the second run to help show where the targets are

In total, you need to blow up 4 trucks and 5 towers. If you didn't manage to, reload the checkpoint, for some reason they are always different when reloading. Video guide (en).

On PS5 I caught a bug - when playing on veteran, if you were killed and couldn't get to the checkpoint by car, then with all subsequent loadings of the previous checkpoint it was impossible to kill anyone with a grenade launcher, neither the tower, nor the car, the shells seemed to fly right through. Found a solution, after death and loading the checkpoint, press pause and select loading the last checkpoint again, this must be done after each death. Another option is to exit to the main menu, and then load this mission again, but this also must be done after each death.

in the last patch I tried to pass on veteran for an hour, as a bug I already reach the CT after the towers and still get killed. no matter how I loaded the game. the last two do not fall on veteran. on rookie I got the prize but also with restarting CT. I think they should fix it
