How to unlock the Undiscovered Truths achievement in Call of Duty: Ghosts - Definitive Guide
Classified Intel: These are randomly picked up from searchable items, and their locations change during every playthrough. You will need to pick up a total of 6 of these intel types to unlock them. Only 1 player can pick it up, and it will automatically unlock the intel in order. Each area will contain between 1-2 intel items, and this can easily be boosted solo using the first area and then dying during the first drill section.
Encrypted: These are also permanent laptops that can be found on the map, and their locations are as follows:
1. Treason - Area 2: Once entering Area 2, use the stairs to the right hand side, and follow the balcony around to find the laptop on the ground.
2. Security Breach - Area 2: From the entrance, head to the left side to find a container with a fire trap next to it. Jump on the fire trap, then onto the container. Now, with your pistol, get a running start and run towards the nearest rooftop. Jump towards it and use the button to get up. Find the laptop on this roof near some fencing.
3. Exfil Denied- Area 3: Upon entering the Facility, there is a small booth on the left side, with some crates next to it. use the crates to get on top of the booth, and find the laptop here.
4. Sabotage - Area 3: Upon entering the Facility, use the large ladder to get to the 3rd story on the outside of the area. Follow the scaffolding around the perimeter and jump over the broken section to find the laptop on the ground.
5. The Ark - Final Area: During the final boss battle, if you run all the way across the area from where you enter, you will see a small toll booth. On the ground inside this toll booth, you will find this laptop.
Lastly, you must also complete Nightfall to unlock the Epilogue Intel. You can check your progress in the Extinction main menu, and there is a tracker available in the top right corner of the screen showing how many items you have collected.
GLITCH NOTES: The achievement was glitched when the DLC was released, but has been patched. If you have all the above listed intel items, just load up a game of Nightfall (solo) and the achievement will unlock at the very beginning of the level. If you didn't have them all, and pick up the remaining intels, it should unlock as normal.

There are three types of Intel in this map: cutscenes, encrypted (in fixed locations) and classified (in random locations). Both are cumulative across multiple playthroughs. However, as far as this Trophy is concerned, only the latter two types of intel are required. There are six Classified Intel pieces. The Classified Intel are inside searchable boxes located throughout the map. Also, the Classified Intel only appear (also randomly) to those who have not collected all of them.
There are five Encrypted Intel pieces. The Encrypted Intel are laptops located in fixed locations. There are two in the second area (Compound), two in the third area (Weapon Facility) and one in the final area where you encounter the Breeder. Here is a video detailing their locations:
You can check your progress from the Extinction Main Menu, under “Intel.”
