Mission 8: Assassins

2:08:00 Assassins is the eighth mission of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, a stealth escape: you start unarmed, follow your guards, and slip past a library, a kitchen and the gardens to reach a bunker. Its objectives are "Follow Your Guards," "Get Past the Library," "Get Past the Kitchen," "Go Through the Gardens" and "Get Inside the Bunker," and TheGamer's advice is to watch the patrols and stay out of open spaces (TheGamer, Oct 25, 2026). The three locked doors open with 5523, 7632 and 9103 (Game Rant, Oct 19, 2026). The mission holds two trophies that cannot be earned on the same run, Pacifist and Revenge, and finishing it unlocks the "Oh-Ji" Base Operator (Call of Duty, Oct 16, 2026).

Who you play and why

Critical Hits' walkthrough says you play Ri Seung-Ho, North Korea's Supreme Leader, starting with no weapon, guarded by Shin and Jang, with Ko guiding (Critical Hits, Oct 20, 2026). The alert meter matters: it goes from white to yellow to red, and Critical Hits warns that the heavily armored enemies kill you quickly if you are seen.

Follow your guards

2:11:00 Stay close to Shin and Jang. In a corridor, go prone and crawl into an opening beside Jang; enemies kill Jang, and Ko saves you and Shin. Follow Ko through a showroom using the display cases as cover, keeping still whenever the alert meter fills. Follow him out of a window, grab the ledge and shimmy from window to window, waiting for a passing enemy to move on. Wait outside the security room while the guards clear it, then take the headset by the main desk; Ko gives you a knife and stays behind to guide you and Shin over the radio (Critical Hits).

2:13:10 At the library entrance, past the senior council room, three enemies wait. Take down the one on the left with the knife; Shin kills the other two and dies (Game Rant). This one kill is forced, and it is the only kill the Pacifist trophy allows.

Get past the library

2:14:05 Use the bookshelves as cover and stay to the left until the way clears, then hide under the stairs at the back right. The locked door on the far side opens with 5523, which Ko gives you over the radio (Game Rant; Critical Hits).

Get past the kitchen

2:15:43 Follow the corridor to the stairs and take the bottle from the table on the left. Throw it into the left corner to pull the guards away, and slip past on the right into the lit room (Critical Hits). Game Rant adds that you can hide in the kitchen cabinets. The door to the gardens opens with 7632 (Game Rant).

Go through the gardens

2:18:40 Peek out of the open door and wait for the four enemies with flashlights to pass, then move through the hedges toward the gazebo. A sniper covers the lake: swim under the water (hold Circle or B) to get past him (Game Rant). The bunker keypad is behind the statue.

Get inside the bunker

2:21:21 Enter 9103 at the keypad (Game Rant), go down the stairs and along the corridor to the double doors. Opening them plays the closing cutscene (Critical Hits).

Pacifist and Revenge trophies

The two trophies want opposite runs, and PowerPyx notes that they cannot be combined: earn one, then replay Assassins from mission select for the other (PowerPyx, Oct 18, 2026):

How it ends

2:22:23 Supreme Leader Ri Seung-Ho is shot and killed by his sister, Commander Ri Ju-Young, in this mission (Game Rant, Oct 19, 2026). Insider Gaming says Ju-Young, backed by the Archer, makes herself Supreme Leader, and that Ko defects to help South Korea (Insider Gaming, Oct 20, 2026). See Story and Characters and Cast.

Reward and what comes next

Assassins unlocks the "Oh-Ji" Base Operator on any difficulty (Call of Duty) and has no collectibles (PowerPyx, Oct 21, 2026). Next is Mission 9: Survivors. All missions are on Campaign Walkthrough, and every code in the campaign is on Campaign Collectibles.
