How to join the Atomgrad Raid in CoD MWII

The new Atomgrad Raid in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II (MWII) gives players quite the challenging Special Ops assignment. Playing as either Gaz, Price, or Farah, players infiltrate a mysterious bunker to uncover its secrets. The Atomgrad Raid is not unlocked by default. This means players need to complete some challenges prior to joining the Atomgrad Raid and earning its rewards.

The Atomgrad Raid is not unlocked for anyone right away. Players must complete a Raid Assignment to unlock it. For completing one of the three available assignments, players earn a Raid pass. This Raid pass allows players to access the Special Ops Atomgrad Raid. Only one player per party of three needs to have a pass.

From there, players simply need to navigate to the Cooperative or Special Ops menu to select the Atomgrad Raid. Players by default should have a Raid Assignment in their daily challenges if they haven't unlocked it yet. The Raid Assignment is highlighted in blue and is available to all players.

To receive a Raid pass, players need to complete one of three available missions. There is one mission per each of Call of Duty MWII's three game modes: DMZ, Warzone, and Multiplayer. The challenges are not too difficult, as playing the standard game modes should earn you the pass. The Raid Assignments are as follows:

Once completed, players can then access the Atomgrad Raid through the Special Ops missions menu. The true challenge is what comes next, which is finding friends or others to play the Raid because there is no matchmaking available for the Raid. Players need to already be in a party of three to play the Atomgrad Raid. However, as a solution, players have been resorting to the game's subreddit to search for parties.

From there, it becomes a matter of readying up, selecting which kit to use, and then hopping right into the Atomgrad Raid.
