Escape is mission 13 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4: a stealth breakout in which you "Find a Way Out Without Being Detected" and "Reach the Garage Control Room," the two objectives TheGamer lists. It holds the campaign's last two notes and a wall safe, code 8410, with the dog tags for the Never Forgotten trophy. It follows Mission 12: Counter Attack and comes before Mission 14: Entrenched. Finishing it gives a Double Weapon XP Token. The clip is MrRoflWaffles' playthrough as Price and Ghost fight down the stairs toward the garage, "our way out."

Setting and story
Escape returns to Price's half of the story. In Mission 7: Gone Dark the Archer saw through Valeria Garza's betrayal, killed her and took Price, Ghost and Gaz prisoner (Insider Gaming, Oct 20, 2026). KeenGamer's walkthrough sets Escape in the Archer's prison after he has interrogated Price, with Price as the playable character. In the clip the Archer tells the captured Price he will be blamed for assassinating the Supreme Leader, then has the prisoners put in separate blocks.
The Archer plans to frame Task Force 141 for the murder of North Korea's Supreme Leader, Ri Seung-Ho, and shoots Gaz in the back of the head (Insider Gaming). Game Rant's list of deaths puts Gaz's death in this mission. Price and Ghost escape and Price gets Ghost to safety, but the Archer's men recapture Price, and the Archer reveals he is Makarov's father; Price had killed Makarov in Mission 2: Out in the Cold. More on the plot at Story and Captain Price. The clip is the end of the mission, as the Archer tells the recaptured Price that Makarov was his son.
Objectives in order
- Find a Way Out Without Being Detected
- Reach the Garage Control Room
Source: TheGamer, Oct 25, 2026. KeenGamer breaks the route into smaller steps: break out of the cell block, find the safe code, free Ghost, recover Gaz's dog tags from the wall safe and get Ghost out through the garage.
Walkthrough
Out of the cell block. Stealth is the priority. TheGamer advises watching guard movements, staying in cover and not firing unless you must. Before you leave the start, open the first door on the left for Note 63 (PowerPyx).
The guard station and the code. After the first guard, a guard station holds Note 64 (PowerPyx). KeenGamer says the security office past the guard checkpoint has an "Updated Code" note that gives the safe's code; the code is 8410. IGN's clip shows going prone below the guard's window, then the note with the updated code.
The safe and the dog tags. Game Rant puts the safe down the hallway after the barracks, through the unlocked door on the right. Enter 8410 and take the dog tags to unlock Never Forgotten.
Free Ghost and reach the garage control room. Keep to the shadows on the way to Ghost, then make for the garage control room, which ends the mission.
Collectibles and trophies
| Item | Where |
|---|---|
| Note 63 | First door on the left at the start |
| Note 64 | In a guard station after the first guard |
| Dog tags (Never Forgotten) | Safe down the hallway after the barracks, through the unlocked door on the right, code 8410 |

Never Forgotten ("Recover the Dog Tags in Escape") is a Silver trophy in PowerPyx's list. The two notes count toward Noteworthy (read 50 different notes), though most of the 64 notes are in Mission 10: Stranded. If you miss anything, mission select lets you replay Escape after the story. See Campaign Collectibles and Trophies and Achievements.
Reward
Finishing Escape gives a Double Weapon XP Token, the second of two in Activision's list (the other is from Mission 11: Defection). See How to Level Up Fast and Campaign Rewards and Difficulty.
