Learn everything about back in the field achievement along with my tips on how to complete it.

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.
