Veteran Campaign Walkthrough: Proven Routes to Beat Executive Order and Sog

Uncover in-depth coverage on Veteran Campaign Walkthrough: Proven Routes to Beat Executive Order and Sog.

Completing the Veteran campaign clears out the majority of difficulty-related milestones, but 100% completion requires hunting down the 42 hidden audio tapes across all 15 campaign missions. Attempting to grab these during a Veteran playthrough is an exercise in frustration; hunting for collectibles while pinned down by pinpoint AI snipers will ruin your run.

Reserve your Intel location checklist sweep for a separate, relaxed run on Recruit difficulty using Mission Select. The intel tapes appear as vintage reel-to-reel tape recorders sitting on desks, crates, and window ledges.

Keep an eye out for mission-specific actions that can be combined with this cleanup sweep:

• In "Operation 40," take out Castro with a clean headshot for "A Name, not a Number."
• In "Executive Order," destroy the satellite dish using an RPG rather than bullet fire.
• In "Crash Site," destroy all enemy river targets using the gunboat's rockets to satisfy "Lord Nelson."

None of these side challenges carry difficulty restrictions. Running them on Recruit allows you to sprint through the geometry and pick up missed tapes in under ninety minutes.
