Atari Easter Egg
While playing on the Nuketown 2025 map in Multiplayer mode, shoot the heads off all mannequins within the boundaries of the map in less than 90 seconds. The mannequins spawn randomly each time. It is much easier to do this with at least one other player. If done correctly, the large population sign with a TV screen on it in the center of the map will change to a TV screen with a retro "Activision" logo on it. Interact with it to play four different Atari games: H.E.R.O, Kaboom!, Pitfall, and River Raid. Note: You will remain invincibile while playing the games.
Avenge Sevenfold reference
Complete the game a second time for the alternate ending. A video will play after the credits, and the shirts will read "avengesevenfold".
Call Of Duty: Black Ops Mule Kick reference
In the "Celerium" mission, get an assault shield when told and trade it in for a gun. You are carrying three guns, which is the same as Mule Kick from Call Of Duty: Black Ops.
Celerium: Thor's Hammer
After you eliminate all the enemies and do the flying part, take a left and find the cliff. Jump down and you will find a dark cave. Inside is Thor's Hammer.

Mission 1: Pyrrhic Victory
1. Once you are in control and ordered to hunt down the mortar teams, you will get out of your carrier. Eventually, you will reach an overturned armored transport, where you will be able to acquire mortar shells. The intel is to the right of the truck.
2. Once you are on the ship, climb up the ladder on the left. Move towards the front of the ship, and look in the corner to find the intel in a corner to your right.
3. During the retreat, you will pass by tall sniper towers. After your AI partner throws a smoke grenade, you will reach a second set of towers (one tall and one small). The intel is up on the perch of the smaller of the two sniper towers.
Mission 2: Celerium
4. After the wing suit cutscene, you will reach a facility with lots of enemies. After fighting up the hillside, you will reach a helipad where you encounter drones. After getting the objective to take control of a drone, a room will open up on your left. The intel is inside on a table.
5. Once you enter the underground facility, look to your left as you enter a room with a large staircase on the far end. Just left of the entrance is a small reception desk through a window. The intel is sitting on a desk, which you can grab through the window.
6. Eventually, you will meet and rescue a scientist. Then, enemies will start appearing. After killing the enemies, go to the room that has opened up at the other end of the room you are in. The room is directly opposite from where you are supposed to turn the keys at the same time. The intel is on a desk directly across from the entrance to the room.
Mission 3: Old Wounds
7. When the meeting ends inside the cave, look to your right before leaving. The intel is up against the wall, near three NPCs.
8. While on the horse, you will cross a lot of red flags marking ammo and weapon caches. Look for a red flag with a weapon crate behind it, and a giant rock sticking up behind the flag. The intel is at the base of the flag.
9. When you are ordered to take back the ammo dump, go back to a large ravine, with wood bridges stretching across it. Before the first of these bridges, look for a small path leading up to a raised rocky area. Go up the path to find a cave. Look to the right of the cave entrance to find the intel.

18. Once you go outside, past the bar, stay to the right side of the zone. Hug the walls, and look for a small kiosk with a computer. It is a few feet in front of a neon sign that says "LKH" on it. The intel is next to the computer.
Mission 7: Suffer With Me
19. After entering the warehouse through the skylights, cross the catwalks, and enter a small room with stairs leading down. Before going down, look to the left to see shelves against the wall with the intel on once of the shelves.
20. When entering a large open church area of the slums, look for a red building on the far left side of the slums with a large hole in the wall, and a burning dumpster outside of it. The intel is inside the building. The building with the intel is also near a red building with a white sign that says "Gran Fans Herramientas".
21. When entering the next building, there will be a cutscene. The intel is just ahead in the next room, sitting on a metal table.
Mission 8: Achilles' Veil
22. When the mission begins, do not exit the large courtyard you start in. Instead, look for stairs leading up into the tower on your left, before reaching the streets. Go up the steps to find the intel on the floor.
23. Once you gain control of the drones, go through the alley. Once you go around a corner, there will be an enemy shooting at you from a window. The intel is in that room on the floor in the back left corner, behind some boxes. You will need to be standing on the boxes to get the intel.
24. Once you get out of town and are on the cliffside, there will be two white houses. The intel is on the roof of the second house. Go up the exterior staircase on the right, and follow the outside balcony around to find a ladder to the roof. The intel is on the left side of the roof.

Mission 11: Judgement Day

32. Once you reach the control room with a lot of computers and giant screens on the walls, go up the middle set of stairs. Once you go up three short levels, go down the aisle on your left. The intel is on a desk to your left, next to a computer monitor.
33. When you reach a circular room that has two staircases going up and two staircases going down, take one of the staircases down. Hug the wall (it does not matter which way you go) to find the intel on a crate.

Multiplayer unlockables
Reach the indicated level in Multiplayer mode to unlock the corresponding weapon(s), equipment, streak(s), perk(s), and/or wildcard:
Perks: You can you can choose a total of six perks, but this limits the amount of customization you can do for your class. You can also choose no perks from the perks list, and instead focus more on equipment and weapon attachments. By default, you can choose three perks for your class, one from each slot. Wildcards allow you to choose one extra perk per slot for a total of six perks. However, this will use all your Wildcards and take 3 + 3 + 3 allocation points, which leaves you with only one weapon without attachments and no equipment. Perks do not affect your weapons stats. For example, you will have to use attachments to increase accuracy or deeper bullet penetration. There are also no Pro perks in the game.
Scorestreaks: Killstreaks have been replaced with Scorestreaks, which are earned by killing enemies, assisting teammates, and completing different objectives. For example, a normal kill gets you 100 points, but capturing a flag gets you 200 points. You will also get points when your teammates kill enemies while your UAV is active. For example, the UAV can be called in at 375 points, but you will need 1,200 points to call in the VTOL Warship. You can equip a maximum of three Scorestreak rewards at the same time. Your Scorestreak resets to zero when you die. The equipped Scorestreak rewards can be earned multiple times in one life, but they need to be used before the Scorestreak loops around for the second time or each Scorestreak reward will be replaced/wasted with the same reward again.
Wildcards: You get 10 allocation points to use on weapons, equipment, and perks with each Create-A-Class. Each weapon, weapon attachment, perk, and equipment uses 1 allocation point, but you can only spend 10 allocation points per class. If you do not use any perks, that will save you three points, which can then be used to equip more weapon attachments or grenades. You could also carry only a secondary weapon with two attachments, have four perks, and one grenade. You could also optionally choose up to three Wildcards for your class, which in turn give various options to customize your class even further. For example, by default your primary weapon can be equipped with two attachments, but with the Primary Gunfighter Wildcard, the weapon can be equipped with three attachments. Each Wildcard uses 1 allocation point. Some Wildcards, like the Perk Greed, require you to select an additional perk, which also uses 1 extra point. If you want to have six perks, the first three perks require 3 points, and after that each additional one requires 2 points (1 for the Wildcard + 1 for the perk), for a total of 9 allocation points. However, this would leave you with only 1 point to spend on a weapon.
