The Open Combat Missions of Modern Warfare 3’s Campaign abandons the more linear style of gameplay for an open sandbox, where players will need to complete a series of objectives to progress the story. Those of you who are diving into the mission Gora Dam will assume the role of Ghost, who is deployed with Soap into a dam within Verdansk in order to prevent an attack from Konni.
Gora Dam is the twelfth overall mission of the Modern Warfare 3 Campaign, and the sixth Open Combat Mission. Just like all of the Open Combat Missions before it, Gora Dam can be completed relatively quickly if you are just purely focusing on completing the main mission objectives. However, be sure to keep an eye out for the 21 discoverable weapons and items within the playable area.
KVD Enforcer
The KVD Enforcer can be found all the way to the northeastern corner of the map, tucked right against the dam. You can reach this area by simply parachuting down from the right-hand side of the spawn area.
Armor Box & RGL-80
Both the Armor Box and the RGL-80 Grenade Launcher can be found on the back of a truck to the south of where you found the KVD Enforcer – just to the east of the bridge at the center of the map.
Silenced M16
The Silenced M16 can be found on the roof of the building just to the east of the bridge in the towards the center of the map. You can reach this area by heading up a ladder to the south side of the building. You can also find an Ascender here, which will allow you to grab other weapons and items that would otherwise be out of reach.
