How to unlock the Liberation achievement in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Definitive Guide
* This is achievement is known to be very buggy! If it doesn't unlock after a hard reset, clear the game cache and play through one mission! * How to clear the game cache will be at the bottom of the guide.

As of the update from 11/8/2019, this achievement has been fixed and is obtainable! This guide is focused on mainly giving hints and tips to help your crew.
A lot of you also have been saying that the achievement won't pop unless you do it in a single session!
This achievement requires you to complete all 4 operations of spec ops. You DO NOT need to do the classic spec op missions. On top of that, you can join matches in progress and it will count towards the achievement LONG AS SOMEONE REACHES THE HELICOPTER AT THE END AND SEE THE MISSION ACCOMPLISHED SCREEN.
11/22/2019: Two new operations have been added to spec ops. El Luigi has commented that he only needed the original 4 missions for the achievement to unlock. SOUZA117 mentions that if the achievement doesn't unlock for you, hard reset your console.
Class set-ups: I suggest not even bother matchmaking into to random lobbies. Randoms cannot comprehend the complexity of killing bots and completing objectives at the same time. With that said, find 3 other people to help you via LFG or a session here on TA. You cannot do these missions with any less than 4 total people. Next, everyone should run the medic role. This allows you to revive much quicker and gives you the ability to revive all downed teammates instantly with + . I also suggest using silencers as it is possible to do some parts, or even whole missions using stealth. Also use smoke grenades so you can cover yourself while you revive a teammate.
General In-Game: Stay close to your team and communicate, of course. Call-out when and what crates you drop and such. On the topic of crates, always look for armor, ammo, and grenades. All crates containing streaks are also good and especially efficient for juggernauts except for the shielded-turret. Another rule of thumb is to shoot helicopter pilots as helicopters roll in to explode them.
Now I will give you mission specific tips that I picked up on during our run of each mission.
HEADHUNTER: This was the hardest mission for us. You need to find intel by killing AQ lieutenants, then hack 5 scramblers around a stadium, before finally shooting down a helicopter. Getting the intel shouldn't bee too difficult, however hacking the scramblers can prove to be difficult. The first scrambler has many enemies, but is easy. NOTE The more people next to the scramblers, the quicker you hack it! The second has a juggernaut enemy that has armor and a minigun. The third has more enemies. At this point, multiple tanks spawn that you must destroy. Luckily, the game gives your squad a gunship to help you destroy the tanks. If the gunship doesn't destroy all the tanks, use the RPG's located around the third scrambler to destroy them. The 4th and 5th scramblers have multiple juggernauts and a helicopter constantly shooting at you. It is vital that you stick together so you can revive each other. Kill the juggernauts, hack and destroy the final two scramblers. Now you have to explode the helicopter. Focus your fire on the helicopter, but watch out for more juggernauts. Upon destroying the helicopter, your mission will update telling you to get to the exfil location. Once the chopper lands and you get on it, the mission completes.
KUVULDA: This one isn't bad. You enter a compound and have to access a database. Then you have three locations where you search laptop files and then have to find 3 crates from each location using the code you find from the laptops. After that you open a hangar door that contains 2 tanks for your team. Once completing the objective there, two opposing tanks spawn use your tanks to take them out. I suggest not having everyone in both tanks in case they explode (you instantly go down). Then you go to the exfil site. For this one you can try to use stealth, however it may take longer. You face the same problems in this mission as the previous, juggernauts, helicopters, overwhelming amount of enemies. Long as you all stay with each other and are using the medic class you can just constantly revive each other. Using smokes can also help you revive a teammate downed with no cover. My last tip is to communicate when you have found a piece of cargo needed for the objective.
PALADIN: *IMPORTANT*THERE IS CURRENTLY A GLITCH ON THIS MISSION THAT MAKES YOU INVINCIBLE. PLEASE REFER TO THE GUIDE BELOW MINE FOR HOW TO DO IT THIS HAS BEEN PATCHED AND NO LONGER WORKS! Enter a storage facility, hack a signal jammer, grab HVI, bring her to the LZ. Not too bad, right? Welp, the LZ takes you to a vehicle that needs your covering fire. You kill enemies wielding RPG's and have to look for mines in the road and dispose of them. After a walk, you reach a parking lot of a market. Defend a crate, go inside of the market, defend another crate, go to the back of the market, defend again, leave. Ugh. For the first section with the HVI you have a part where you must defend an area. I suggest bringing her into the locker room and placing her into the showers. Other than that, the begging is easy stuff. Escorting the vehicle is easy too. Just focus RPG's and shoot down any helicopters while looking for mines on the road. Once you reach the parking lot, you need to defend a crate. There are many enemies that come at you. Of course, you need to stay together so you can get quick revives of each other. Kill snipers on top the market as well. It only gets worse after this. IMPORTANT Go to the right side of the market outside and get to the roof for more supplies for your team and then head into the market. Inside you face the same enemies from different angles, but now with juggernauts. Plural. What we did was split into teams of two and posted up on different scaffolds. Try to save your smokes for if you need to defuse a bomb that specific enemies place on the crate. For the last and hardest bit, you do everything you just did except with more helicopters, juggernauts and even tanks. Destroying the tanks is particularly difficult due to the limited supplies. I have no tips other than what I have already told you. If you manage to kill everything, you will see your friendly chopper ready to get you out of there.
CROSSWIND: This mission is very straight forward and actually pretty easy. You begin by disrupting enemy comms on a rooftop. There are juggernauts, but nothing you haven't faced. Then your team will proceed to the main terminal to do the same exact thing. Next you must infiltrate a plane. Get into the car that your marker leads you to. Have everyone ready to shoot two enemy vehicles that start to pursue you. After that you just need to get to the plane and go inside of it. This is the only hard part. You have only 3 minutes to sweep through the plane and exit. If you have done the Mile High Club then you know what your in for. However with 4 people this is much easier. Split into teams of 2, one goes right the other left. If someone gets low on health have them peal off behind their partner. Constantly push forward until you retrieve the nuclear core. Jump out the plane and parachute down. NOTE You can do this whole next section very easily by staying on the road outside of the entire scrapyard. Land your parachutes in front of the scrapyard and go right, staying on the road. At this point you are in stealth and the enemy doesn't know where you are. After you've turned right, you'll want to go left up the road next to the scrapyard. You should be following a wall. Eventually you'll come across a hole in the wall and it's a straight shot to the exfil location. You can sneak through to the exfil, but alternatively you could just run with your squad to the exfil and use your medic abilities to revive anyone who is unfortunate enough to go down. Climb the ladder and wait for the helicopter to come. A tip here would be to just prone and watch the ladder for any enemies. If you just lay down you can't be shot. Once the chopper arrives, get on.
At this point the mission should complete, unlocking you the Liberation achievement!
How to clear game cache (for people who have hard reset and replayed any missions they think may not have counted for the achievement):
You need to go to My Games and Apps > Click the start button on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare > Manage Game and Add-ons > Saved Data > Delete the data for the account with the bugged achievement > Now start the game again.
It should re-sync all of save and *hopefully* unlock your achievement . This SHOULD NOT delete all your saved progress for campaign and such. I tested it and it appeared to keep all of my single player progress intact. Since, I already have the achievement, I cannot clarify whether or not this actually works as another user has just commented that it had worked for them.
An alternate method from RuneSlayer4421:
If clearing the cache/hard reset doesn't work, removing your profile then doing a hard reset before re-adding should get your data to re-sync. This is what I had to do for Borderlands 2 and 3 achievements that didn't want to pop when the requirements were met.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sorry if this guide was convoluted in any way, but I hope it helped you in some way! Lastly, if you have any sort of tip, advice, or correction to my guide please comment it so I can make the appropriate changes. Thank you!

Sanjoe what missions did u do ? all or just the four mentioned ?
By JokerStayNyt on 29 Mar 2020 20:11
Need help on this if anyone available?
By MarkusW86 on 16 Sep 2021 21:05
heya guys
this achievement is probably the hardest in the game but its not bad when you have a good team and practise
you can find good teams on this website by setting up game sessions for it but i got mine by just playing with randoms
the missions themselves are pretty easy to follow (when they are not glitched out )
the main tips i have for this achievement are as follows
USE THE RIOT SHIELD !!! the riot shield and lmg combo is awesome for the first 3 missions and use the sniper with riot shield for the last mission, the riot shield can take an infinite amount of damage so will protect you from juggernauts meaning you can literally walk right past them and right up to the objectives , plus they are still protecting you whilst you have your lmg out because the riot shield is on your back
USE THE MEDIC SPECIAL ABILITY!!! this special ability is by far the best because it gives you the ability to revive team mates faster and also if you press lb + rb you can revive all downed team mates
HANG BACK!!! if you have half decent team mates id recommend you hang back because they will still die at some point and if your the last one alive you can just sit in a corner with your riot shield not taking damage and your team mates will be back in 1 minute
SELECT MUNITIONS BEFORE THE MISSION!! you can select which munitions you wish to have before the mission has even started and you can select things like cluster missiles and jug suits which are great for taking out tanks or other jugs, you can still find munitions on the ground but its a bit random from what i have seen so far
with these 4 tips you should be set and just follow the mission objectives
i have also made a video guide below for anyone who prefers them
any other questions or tips please leave in the comments below :)

Probably the hardest? It's the only hard achievement lol.
By Fuzzmeister J on 15 Nov 2019 03:01
My only question is regarding the 3rd mission paladin what's the best strategy to do when defending the bomb sites as I can do the first bit really easy but when it comes to the bombs it's difficult to defuse them that's how I end up dieing a lot
By True Reclaim on 15 Nov 2019 04:23
A really cheap way to do headhunter (and possibly other operations) is to have 1 person just sit in the spawn and run in circles so they don't disconnect. It is basically impossible to go down in spawn so this allows your teammates to respawn indefinitely. I did it this way with randoms, took them about 2 hours to complete it but they did eventually. Once you destroy the helicopter and you must evacuate just jump off the building and get in the helicopter.

Tried doing this on Paladin and a bloody Juggernaut comes strolling up the stairs. It's a better way to do it than doing it legit because they're stupidly hard. But not bulletproof
By YaIrishMick96 on 21 Apr 2020 23:37
Eventually got lucky a team knew what they were doing. Still had 2 juggernauts come up stairs and a suicide bomber so it's not a safe zone

Good news everyone! Looks like with the most recent update you no longer have to finish a spec ops mission from from beginning to end to get this, I know this because I only finished Headhunter by joining a game that was already in progress yet once I finished the last spec ops mission I still got the achievement.

I reached out to Activision 2 days ago and asked about what the requirements are to be able to unlock the achievement. I will post again once they get back to me. I have beaten all of the maps (there are currently 8 now) and even completed Crosswind a 2nd time just yesterday but still got no unlock. Some people must be getting the achievement since it’s up to 0.86% now for Xbox.
Update: just played Kuvalda again and beat it again last night, and it unlocked as soon as I beat it the 2nd time. I wouldn’t waste my time with the new maps, just beat the 4 original ones and beat Kuvalda a second time. I already reported the glitch to Activision, so hopefully that gets fixed in the near future.

There are 8 Spec Ops missions, however only 4 (Headhunter, Kuvulda, Paladin, Crosswind) need to be completed. In the spec ops menu under weapons you can change your class to medic after a certain level, which has a quick revive and team revive ability, which will be useful.
Tips:
Headhunter: This is probably the hardest mission in theory, however if you die during the stadium part, you can simply parachute on to the stadium and you won't be able to get hit. You won't be very useful in providing fire, however the mission continues as long as one person is alive so one person should remain on the stadium roof so that the rest of the team can always respawn.
Paladin: This one gave me the most trouble. It is important to carry an armor crate around most of the time so you don't die easily. During the APC protection section, rush forward and kill any enemies with RPGs so that they don't do damage to the tank. The hardest section is near the end in and around the superstore. Find a juggernaut kit or pick up a PKM from dead enemies to destory vehicles or wipe out groups of enemies at once. It is important to stay in cover here or you will die very quickly. Alternatively if you stay in cover very far away from the action only a few enemies will chase you and your team can use you to respawn. This tip works for all missions.
There aren't many tips for the other 2 as these ones are pretty straightforward.

As mentioned in the roadmap, there are four missions that need to be completed to unlock this achievement. Even though Activision and Infinity Ward have added additional missions via seasons, they are not required. Additionally, neither Survival nor Classic Special Ops are required.
All Special Ops missions were designed with 4-player co-op in mind. Even though there is no difficulty selection, playing them almost feels like you’re playing on Veteran difficulty as it doesn’t take much for you to get injured, even downed. Chances are you are going to be playing each mission a few times each to learn enemy placement and to develop a good strategy. Having leveled up in multiplayer and Warzone also helps as you will have unlocked attachments and perks that could be more beneficial to you than a starting loadout.
Communication is essential when playing this mode. Knowing where your teammates are and what they are doing makes all the difference. Working together is an absolute necessity if you want to accomplish each mission. Matchmaking is available if you want to play with randoms or fill out your team, but having a dedicated team of four that will stick with it until one or all the missions are complete is recommended. If all four players die, then the mission is over and you have to start over from the beginning, so do your best to revive your teammates.
Note: If you join a game mid-mission and complete the mission, you will get credit for it.
The four missions are: Operation Crosswind, Operation Headhunter, Operation Kuvalda, and Operation Paladin. Each mission has its pros and cons, but both Headhunter and Paladin are relentless with their unending enemy spawns.
The Call of Duty Wiki has detailed information about Operations mode, giving strategies, tips and general overviews along with descriptions for each mission, which are shown below.
Operation Crosswind:
Operation Crosswind will require players to infiltrate an airport. They will have to disable several arrays by capturing them, one outside the airport and one inside. The more players that are near the array, the quicker the capture will be.
The players have two options to disable the arrays: storming the airport or infiltrating it undetected.
Once on the ground, players will have to fight their way through a scrapyard with dozens of enemies, at least one Juggernaut, and an enemy helicopter. Once the helicopter is destroyed, the players can proceed to the helipad for exfil.
Operation Headhunter:
Operation Headhunter will require players to eliminate several high value targets, Al-Qatala lieutenants, one of them being a Juggernaut, and upload data from the flash drives they each drop upon death. They will then proceed to the nearby stadium to capture five scramblers. When capturing a scrambler, players need to stay near it; the more players near the scrambler, the quicker it is captured. Once captured, the players will have to destroy it.
The second scrambler will have a Juggernaut protecting it, in addition to dozens of foot soldiers. After the third scrambler is destroyed, six armored vehicles will be deployed. Players will have multiple RPG-7s scattered nearby, as well as a free Gunship, at their disposal. After destroying the armor, players will need to capture the fourth scrambler which will have at least one Juggernaut guarding it. When players capture the fifth scrambler, the enemy will deploy smoke for concealment. During this fight, several Juggernauts will also spawn in. Once the last scrambler is destroyed, players will have to destroy an enemy helicopter and an armored vehicle before running to the exfil.
Operation Kuvalda:
Operation Kuvalda will require players to infiltrate an Al-Qatala military base, mark crates full of weapons for detonation, and exfil. Players can choose to enter stealthily or to storm the base. They'll need to first capture a server that contains data on the crates' locations by interacting with it and staying close. The more players near the server, the quicker the capture will be. Several Juggernauts will spawn during the capture.
After the server is captured, the players are able to access computers at three different locations. On each computer, the manifest (displayed as '/Manifest' on the screens) must be scanned to identify the weapons crates. Weapons crates bearing the specified identification serial code must then be marked for destruction. The area near each computer will have three crates that can be marked. Several enemy attack helicopters can spawn during this objective. After all of the crates are marked in the level, a player will need to go to the control tower to open the doors to a hangar. Inside the hangar, ballistic missiles will need to be marked for destruction.
Players can then use the two Infantry Assault Vehicles available in the hangar to destroy several armored vehicles on the runway and make their way to the exfil.
Operation Paladin:
Operation Paladin will require players to infiltrate a storage facility and capture a jammer to disable it. The more players near the jammer, the quicker the capture will be. The players will then need to rescue the hostage. Players will need to defend their position inside a abandoned swimming pool while waiting for the exfil. Dozens of soldiers and several suicide bombers will attack the pool.
After the hostage is saved, the players will be deployed near an APC that needs to be escorted to a nearby store. Several proximity mines, as well as multiple RPG-wielding enemies, will need to be taken care of in order to prevent the APC from taking damage. Once outside the store, the players will need to mark and defend a crate. If an enemy plants a bomb on the crate, a player will need to defuse it before it explodes. The second crate will be inside the store. The enemy will deploy smoke and players will face multiple soldiers, suicide bombers, as well as a Juggernaut. The third crate is outside the store. Once the defense event is started, several Juggernauts and an Infantry Assault Vehicle will spawn, as well as suicide bombers and foot soldiers. Once the defense event is completed, players can proceed to the exfil.

If all four players die, then the mission is over and you have to start over from the beginning, so do your best to revive your teammates.
Note: If you join a game mid-mission and complete the mission, you will get credit for it.
The four missions are: Operation Crosswind, Operation Headhunter, Operation Kuvalda, and Operation Paladin. Each mission has its pros and cons, but both Headhunter and Paladin are relentless with their unending enemy spawns.
The Call of Duty Wiki has detailed information about Operations mode, giving strategies, tips and general overviews along with descriptions for each mission, which are shown below.
Operation Crosswind:
Operation Crosswind will require players to infiltrate an airport. They will have to disable several arrays by capturing them, one outside the airport and one inside. The more players that are near the array, the quicker the capture will be.
The players have two options to disable the arrays: storming the airport or infiltrating it undetected.
- If the players choose to storm the airport, dozens of foot soldiers will defend the arrays. Several Juggernauts will spawn for each array. They will be attacked all the way to the plane.
- If the players choose to be stealthy, they will have to disable both comms arrays without having any enemies raise an alarm. Enemies may raise the alarm if they spot a corpse. Once both comm arrays are disabled, the players will gain access to a garage in the airport's underpass which contains disguises. These disguises can be used to reach the plane without raising any further alarms.
Once on the ground, players will have to fight their way through a scrapyard with dozens of enemies, at least one Juggernaut, and an enemy helicopter. Once the helicopter is destroyed, the players can proceed to the helipad for exfil.
Operation Headhunter:
Operation Headhunter will require players to eliminate several high value targets, Al-Qatala lieutenants, one of them being a Juggernaut, and upload data from the flash drives they each drop upon death. They will then proceed to the nearby stadium to capture five scramblers. When capturing a scrambler, players need to stay near it; the more players near the scrambler, the quicker it is captured. Once captured, the players will have to destroy it.
The second scrambler will have a Juggernaut protecting it, in addition to dozens of foot soldiers. After the third scrambler is destroyed, six armored vehicles will be deployed. Players will have multiple RPG-7s scattered nearby, as well as a free Gunship, at their disposal. After destroying the armor, players will need to capture the fourth scrambler which will have at least one Juggernaut guarding it. When players capture the fifth scrambler, the enemy will deploy smoke for concealment. During this fight, several Juggernauts will also spawn in. Once the last scrambler is destroyed, players will have to destroy an enemy helicopter and an armored vehicle before running to the exfil.
Operation Kuvalda:
Operation Kuvalda will require players to infiltrate an Al-Qatala military base, mark crates full of weapons for detonation, and exfil. Players can choose to enter stealthily or to storm the base. They'll need to first capture a server that contains data on the crates' locations by interacting with it and staying close. The more players near the server, the quicker the capture will be. Several Juggernauts will spawn during the capture.
After the server is captured, the players are able to access computers at three different locations. On each computer, the manifest (displayed as '/Manifest' on the screens) must be scanned to identify the weapons crates. Weapons crates bearing the specified identification serial code must then be marked for destruction. The area near each computer will have three crates that can be marked. Several enemy attack helicopters can spawn during this objective. After all of the crates are marked in the level, a player will need to go to the control tower to open the doors to a hangar. Inside the hangar, ballistic missiles will need to be marked for destruction.
Players can then use the two Infantry Assault Vehicles available in the hangar to destroy several armored vehicles on the runway and make their way to the exfil.
Operation Paladin:
Operation Paladin will require players to infiltrate a storage facility and capture a jammer to disable it. The more players near the jammer, the quicker the capture will be. The players will then need to rescue the hostage. Players will need to defend their position inside a abandoned swimming pool while waiting for the exfil. Dozens of soldiers and several suicide bombers will attack the pool.
After the hostage is saved, the players will be deployed near an APC that needs to be escorted to a nearby store. Several proximity mines, as well as multiple RPG-wielding enemies, will need to be taken care of in order to prevent the APC from taking damage. Once outside the store, the players will need to mark and defend a crate. If an enemy plants a bomb on the crate, a player will need to defuse it before it explodes. The second crate will be inside the store. The enemy will deploy smoke and players will face multiple soldiers, suicide bombers, as well as a Juggernaut. The third crate is outside the store. Once the defense event is started, several Juggernauts and an Infantry Assault Vehicle will spawn, as well as suicide bombers and foot soldiers. Once the defense event is completed, players can proceed to the exfil.

To receive an achievement you do not need to go through all the special operations presented in the game. It is enough to go through those that were initially released. There are only four of them: “Puzzle”, “Sledgehammer”, “Paladin” and “Sidewind”. Almost all of them are not too difficult, you will simply be overwhelmed with meat, but the Paladin operation can cause difficulties, I advise you to buy an automatic turret and a juggernaut suit on the equipment selection screen.
