Back in the Field is one of the toughest achievements in MW3. While the description might seem straightforward, it’s really not, as there are some steps to follow. Also, the achievement can only be completed during the Deep Cover Mission, so keep that in mind.

Key Takeaways

Back in the field in MW3 can be completed during the Deep Cover Mission.
To complete the achievement, players must kill the major without getting spotted in Modern Warfare 3.
Getting to major can be tough as there are plenty of soldiers on the way.
If players blend in perfectly and don’t sprint unnecessarily, then they won’t get caught.
The best way to complete the achievement is by entering the room before the major.
Make sure to enter the room after the girl so she can be taken down from behind.
Then, all players need to do is wait for the major to come into the office.

How To Complete Back In The Field Achievement

At first, back in the field achievement seems complicated, but you can do it easily if you follow these steps:

You must kill the major and get the key within 90 seconds without getting detected to complete the achievement.
As soon as the mission starts, put away your gun and sprint to the left side.
Don’t continue the sprint, as the enemies will get suspicious of you.
Follow the car, and wherever you see more enemies coming, just change lanes and continue.
While following the car, you can sprint to save some time.

My Experience With Back In The Field Achievement

At first, I couldn’t complete the achievement as a red dialogue would appear on the screen. When I succeeded in the run without any red dialogue, I got the achievement, so make sure not to get detected by anyone on your way to kill the major. I completed the achievement in a similar way discussed in the guide, and I did it within 90 seconds.
