And in El Sin Nombre, players take control of John “Soap” MacTavish as he infiltrates a cartel mansion. But the level isn’t the linear run-and-gun experience players are used to in CoD.

Players are given two options. Climb to the roof or find Diego’s keycard to use the elevator. If you opt to find the keycard, you’ll need to explore the mansion to retrieve it.

But its exact whereabouts is unknown and you have to find it for yourself. So, if you’re asking “Where is Diego’s keycard in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?”, keep reading and we’ll tell you how and where to find it…

Wait for the guard to move or go outside and turn right and climb onto the balcony which is connected to the stairs. When you reach the top of the stairs, collect the bottle. You can use this as a distraction.

Go through the first doorway into the room with the pool table. There is more bottles to collect here, as well as throwing knives.

Make your way out of this room, but be mindful of the guard to the left. Kill or distract the guard – he is blocking the door to the room where Diego and his keycard are.
