How to unlock the Warheads on Foreheads achievement in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Definitive Guide

This achievement you can obtain on the mission Into the Furnace and it consist for you to reach the top of the mountain on Barkov's entrance/Warehouse. Very simple, just load up your game on Recruit and USE ONLY your Missile Strikes clicking on the cn_up I haven't test shooting with the guns you carry, just use the missile's strikes.

Take your time, keep dodging the bullets and take cover behind concrete, tank, trees and so on. I also recommend taking couple of helicopters that drop enemies because it'll be much easier for you to progress. For the Littlebird Helicopter I managed to destroy it with the Missile Strikes as well.

When you enter the Warehouse just go down the stairs a bit and the achievement should pop for you. Any suggestions you might have I'll be glad to add here.

Happy Hunting!

edit: People are reporting that even if you throw a nade and even if it doesn't kill anyone the achievement may not unlock. So make sure not to fire any weapon or throw a grenade, and try to focus only on the drone.

edit2: Thanks to Maka91 for providing us a video showing how to do the achievement for those who are struggling or prefer a video perspective.

They are very grenade happy. You should definitely add that throwing one back, even if it doesn't kill an enemy, voids the achievement. This happened to me after I did it on my Realism play through.

Playing it on PS4, the Achievement / Trophy was not unlocked for me, as I only threw back an enemy grenade.

Used the drone strikes up until the game forces your weapon to change before you enter the warehouse looking building and nothing. I played it on a higher difficulty, that's what I'd been playing the game through, and died once. Does that deactivate getting the achievement if you die in the mission? I made sure not to use any grenades and only stuck to the drone strikes.

Was wondering why it didn’t unlock. Cane here and read about “throwing back” grenades. Damn. I’ll just have to run through it quickly on recruit after I finish it on veteran.

If you want to do this on your veteran playthrough, I recommend going all the way on the right side, on the edge of the map. Lay down on the rocks and make sure you don't fall off.

Like some others here, I played the level multiple times without the achievement unlocking. I only used drone strikes up until the laser pointer automatically switched to the sniper rifle. I was finally able to get it to unlock by hitting the guide button, going to achievements, going to the warheads on foreheads achievement then selecting "Go to official club." I had just completed the mission again only using drone strikes and had waited a few minutes without the achievement popping. As soon as the official club loaded the achievement popped. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue!

That frackin helicopter at the end jinking around like a raver on meth... other than that, it's a pretty easy achievement to get. I found "Dodged a Bullet" and "We Own the Night" to be much more difficult.

Just wanted to add that I failed this achievement when by tossing away an enemies grenade that rolled ontop of me- I was trying to complete it on my vet play through. Just let the grenade kill you if it comes to that, the throw away I even tossed away from the enemy to not accidentally kill anyone but still did not get the Chievo

---Mission 14: Into The Furnace---

- Pretty straight forward, ONLY use the drone strike from the start of the mission all the way to the top of the mountain until all the outside enemies are "Clear"

- You will have to wait periodically for the drone strike to reload...just sit back until it does

+ With every miscellaneous Achievement use "Reload Checkpoint" to your advantage, also difficulty won't void any of these so you can do them all on Recruit

You can get this on Mission 14 Into The Furnace. Load the mission up on recruit and dont use any weapons only use the laser designator. Do not throw grenades back either because this will void the achievement. Make sure you stay behind the APC until it is disable and always take out choppers as quick as possible.

so you get this on the mission called into the furnace and its right at the start

you will get the ability to use a laser to call in missiles by pressing up on the d pad

then from there its pretty simple as long as you load the mission on recruit

ONLY USE THE MISSILES

dont melee or use weapons or grenades or anything

here is a video for anyone that wants one :)

Mission 14: Into The Furnace

At the start of the mission, you will have the laser pointer in your arsenal. Do not use anything (guns, grenades, melee) besides the laser pointer until you get inside the lab and this pops. Just before the lab there will be a helicopter that is strafing. Try to time your drone strike for when the helicopter gets to one end of its strafe as it tends to hover for a few moments. I highly recommend just doing this on Recruit difficulty.

Here is a video guide with English commentary!

During mission 14, in the first part, you must reach Barkov's lab entrance using only drone strikes. Achievement/trophy pops if successful when you reach Barkov's lab.

Mission 14: "Into the Furnace"

Right at the start of the mission, you'll go behind a tank and be given a laser to paint targets to call in drone strikes. You need to get to the top of the hill and into the door without firing a single bullet. I'm not sure if grenades of either type can be used, so it's best to avoid using them. You have unlimited uses of the drone strikes, but after four or five, you won't be able to use it for a minute or so until it reloads, so bear that in mind.

In general, hide behind the tank and only pop out to quickly paint a target. Keep this device equipped the entire time so you don't accidentally fire a bullet. Prioritize the helicopters that come in. If you destroy them quickly, it's less enemies on foot to worry about. Push up, and your allies will kill a lot of the enemies on foot for you. Be patient and don't rush. Let your drone reload and use it to take out all of the enemies so it's safe to move up. When you get to the top of the hill where the door is, once the last enemy is dead this achievement will unlock immediately.
