Step-by-Step "Return to Sender" Walkthrough

1. Assaulting Waraabe's Compound

The mission begins on the dusty outskirts of the Somali shantytown.

• Maintain Cover: Use the surrounding shacks and debris to shield yourself from heavy enemy fire.

• Call in Air Support: Early in the assault, Nikolai provides air support via an armed helicopter. Leverage Nikolai's gunship runs to clear out enemy mortar teams and dense groups of insurgents.

• Breach and Clear: Advance through the compound perimeter toward Waraabe's main headquarters. Swap your secondary weapon for a close-quarters assault rifle or shotgun to prepare for room clearing.

2. Interrogating Waraabe

Once you breach Waraabe’s office on the upper floor, eliminate his remaining bodyguards while leaving Waraabe alive.

• Captain Price interrogates Waraabe to learn who delivered the chemical weapons.

• Waraabe reveals the name Volk, Makarov's bomb-maker in Paris.

• After securing the critical intelligence, Price executes Waraabe, triggering an immediate retaliation by surrounding hostile forces.

3. Fighting Through the Sandstorm & Technicals

With the entire compound alerted, Task Force 141 must fight toward the primary extraction zone under a strict time limit.

• Managing the Timer: You must push through the construction yard within 2 minutes and 30 seconds before heavy enemy reinforcements pin you down.

• Overcoming the Haboob (Sandstorm): A massive blinding sandstorm engulfs the city, severely reducing visibility. Use thermal scopes or short-burst firing to target hostile soldiers hiding in the dust storm.

4. Nikolai’s Rescue & Final Exfil

Nikolai’s chopper is hit by enemy RPG fire and crashes nearby in the sandstorm.

• Locate the Crash Site: Move through the low-visibility dust to reach Nikolai's downed helicopter.

• Defend Nikolai: Drag Nikolai out of the wreckage and cover your squad as you make a final sprint toward the backup technical vehicle.

• Escape: Board the technical vehicle with Price and Soap to make a cinematic escape into the desert storm.
