How to unlock the Safeguard achievement in Call of Duty: Ghosts - Definitive Guide

watch video for location of where to camp!!

map: warhawk
local

this is by far the easiest method to do solo. camp on the ledge and knife everyone that comes through the doorway. once it gets to rounds 15-20 u can start using sentry guns if you feel you need to. using sentrys on the rounds with the dogs makes it alot easier. did this on my first try solo.

I tried other maps - this way is the best. What I like is if you end up getting overwhelmed - caught in a reload for example - you can back away and jump off the roof - then run back to the ledge.

Awesome solution, especially how it works against the shield guys! I found it best to just knife them when they exposed themselves, especially before your main weapon is very powerful, otherwise I couldn't kill them before they faced me on the ledge outside, and I had to run a lap.

Great solution. Worked great. Only thing I would annotate is that you have to finish lvl 20...not just reach it.

I did this with 3 friends and camped out in the bakery (the room below in the vid) on Warhawk, we tried 3 other maps previously and this was by far the best map and location.

Excellent solution. Took me a few tries due to me making some stupid mistakes but works a treat. Now at 100%. Thanks!

Okay so I was following the guide above and was getting really frustrated because I couldn't get past round 15. A few things to add to the x DJ Jez x's guide;

To get to this game type go to multiplayer-xbox live-private match-game setup-mode-alternative-safeguard.

On that same screen click options and then turn health to double and regeneration to fast as that will make this infinity easier.

When possible always stay up on that ledge, get the shotgun since this is point blank, stick as close to that window as you can without popping out from behind the sign, prioritize getting helo scouts and the sentry gun( when you're low on health/getting overrun/fall of sign then call it in and you'll be teleported with full health into a helicopter with a one hit kill sniper. Make sure to position yourself near the building for when it drops you off), hold on to the ghost teammate you start off with so if you die you can just call him in and get revived and keep in mind you only get one of him, lastly never stray too far from the building for and if you do just get back before the next wave starts.

Make sure to get all the different perks, especially Marathon and fast reload(or whatever it's called).

Sorry about the poor organization of this guide but I don't think anyone actually cares. Hopefully this helps you, it sure would have helped me.

Just a few quick additional thoughts--look for the M27 in the green crates, if you get it, you're set. Also, the perk you want the most is Quick Hands.. and then any others. I just got this achievement with 10 perks, M27 level 15, and a spare Ghost in my back pocket. Sentries are great... I didn't knife very much, you just have to extremely careful of the shield guys. If you don't get them first shot coming out the window, they can down you in two hits.

Before you get to the window there's a pile of plasterboard or something similar you can stand on and shoot over the half built wall straight through the door way, with a sentry gun in the middle door that will easily last three or four rounds you can shoot away without worrying about being shot and the sentry will wipe the floor with any shielded guys as they will look towards you when they enter the building.

This is not nearly as hard as it appears, I completed this with only one other person.

Here's some tips to help get through Round 20:

- Don't be afraid to wait for a good weapon! When the weapon packages drop, you can cycle it for another weapon, cycling it a second time changes it to ammo. In my experience, the majority of the time the weapons were either shotguns or snipers, it wasn't until round 3-4 that I got a MTAR-X and stuck with that weapon throughout.

- Perks are vital! Go for Sleight of Hand, Steady Aim, Marathon and Agility. Blast Shield is mostly useless as the only explosions you will face are enemies that fire the Semtex grenade launcher which are easily avoidable as long as you stay moving.

- Save your Squadmate until you need him the most! My friend and I both used ours to be revived (which they will do) because overall they aren't nearly as helpful as you would hope.

- Grab as many Killstreaks as you possibly can! Depending on where you are when the care packages drop, you can fill all three of your slots. We focused mostly on getting IMS, Sentry Guns and the Battle Hind. Helo Scout is nice, but it leaves you far away from your teammates if they are downed, plus it only carries four rounds to a clip and reloads pretty slow.

- Use your equipment constantly! It refills quite often, from picking up ammo crates, ammo drops from enemies, and possibly from finishing rounds but I'm not 100% sure on that. You get two IEDs and two Flashbangs, the IEDs are very helpful if you are fortifying a position.

- Knife! Other than the Semtex launcher enemies, enemies will drop with a single stab. This definitely helps in the beginning rounds when you only have a pistol.

Overall, getting through Round 20 isn't that difficult at all. The toughest enemy you'll face is the one with the Semtex grenade launcher only for the fact they have extra health. Packs of dogs will infrequently spawn, but as long as you stay moving you'll be able to pick them off before they swarm you. Good luck!

It is recommended that you do this achievement with at least 3 players, but 4 are definitely better. For the achievement, you must complete round 20.

I recommend doing this on Octane, and camping in the Strip Club, as most enemies will come through the front entrance, and you can keep one person in the back just in case. In between each round, make sure you pick up whatever weapon drop that you are comfortable with, but more importantly after every 5 rounds there will be killstreak drops, which show as blue crates. Make sure all members of the team run around the map and grab as many as possible each. Also, make sure that you use them when needed, and space them out across the next 5 rounds until you can get more. It is best if you place the turret in the main doorway, and call in choppers and missile strikes near the beginning of the round. Keep communicating with your team when necessary, and you shouldn't have too many problems passing round 20. Also, make sure to revive each other if you are downed.

Another tactic involves playing on the map Stonehaven, and camping inside the small building next to the burning house as there is only one entrance, and the enemies will all line up easily. Watch out for riot shield enemies though.

In total, the achievement should take around 20-30 minutes.

The Safeguard game mode is available in the Squads menu. Safeguard is very similar to survival in MW3. You have to fend waves of enemies off and survive for as long a you can. Unlike MW3, the only enemies you will face are ground soldiers - No air support will try and kill you. All you need to do it find a good defensible spot and survive for the 20 rounds. I recommend attempting this trophy on the Prison map. There is an area of portables that you can use a ladder to get on top of. Enemies will only approach you from the ladder of these portables, so it's a very good choke point. So you can all just prone on top of this cabin and watch the ladder.

You need to go through the twentieth wave in the " Security Measures " mode

To get started, go to the " Squads " mode and select the following items there

  • " Play Squads online "
  • " Defense "
  • Here you can already choose any of the three types of this mode
" Security Measures " (20 waves in total)
" Extended MB " (40 waves in total)
" Endless MB " (In this mode there is an infinite number of waves)

You can also join an already running game. The main thing is to go through the 20th wave to get the trophy

I recommend choosing “Endless MB”. In this mode, the difficulty on wave 20 is much easier than on the other two.

Look for the Ignition card.
You can find the command post, go up to the 2nd floor and hold the defense!
Playing with 2 people or more is very easy. One player controls the stairs, and the second stands on the balcony and distracts enemies. The only problem may be the soldiers with shields. Use explosives and flash drives, and pick up defensive turrets, I.S.O.s, and drones between rounds.

A simple and working way to go through 20 waves yourself without much effort. Map - STORMFRONT.

Video tip.

Addition - if you lie down in this place and return an hour later, you will be pleased to discover that wave 19-21 will attack you and you may have already received a trophy. Which makes getting the trophy incredibly simple.
