This Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 guide explains how to get past the laser traps in Atomgrad Raid Episode 4.

The latest mid-season update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 has arrived. Season 04 Reloaded is rather light when it comes to new content. Aside from a notable crossover with Amazon’s The Boys, there isn’t much to shout about. However, the latest episode of the Atomgrad Raids is included in the mid-season update. It features a number of puzzles and platforming elements that are bound to make players pause for thought.

As Call of Duty fans will know, the Atomgrad Raids aren’t particularly straightforward. They feature highly aggressive enemies that are capable of quickly overwhelming you. Additionally, these co-operative missions aren’t simple run-and-gun affairs.

To make progress in certain areas, players must think carefully so deadly traps and puzzles can be safely navigated. In Episode 4, lasers rigged with explosives pose a significant threat – and they are likely to leave players scratching their heads in frustration.

That’s because players must pass through rooms full of lasers. And if you make just one wrong move, the explosives will detonate.

So, how do you make your way through these traps?

How to get past the laser traps in CoD MW2 Raid Episode 4

There are three sets of laser traps in Atomgrad Raid Episode 4. Take a look below at the guidance for each room.

First room

The first room features a small central guard room surrounded by mostly stationary lasers. To get past these lasers, climb onto the missiles stacked up against the northern wall. Make your way along the missiles while sticking to wall.

Walk along the missiles.

When you reach the end, you will see three lasers moving towards you. Jump onto the crates ahead. You should see another stack of crates in front of you. Carefully jump onto these crates.

Jump over to these crates.

You will see a metal beam just ahead, however it requires a significant jump to reach. Carefully jump to the beam. If you miss and land on the floor, climb up the stacked crates underneath to get onto the beam. Once you are on the beam, face southeast and walk along it.

You will see the door to the guard room below and two lasers moving along the ground. Note that all three of your squad must arrive at the door at the same time to open it.

Jump down to the door while avoiding the lasers.

Carefully time your jump to avoid the lasers on the floor and quickly make your way into the guard room. On the right-hand wall is a button to disable the lasers. Push it and make your way into the next room.

Second room

The second room features more moving lasers than the first room. However, you are provided with more cover to use to your advantage.

This makes it easier to get past the laser traps here. Carefully make your way to the southeast corner of the room being sure to use all available cover (crates, boxes, and pillars) to avoid the lasers.

Use crates and boxes to avoid the lasers.

When you are behind cover, crouch to avoid any lasers that may catch you overhead. Time your movements just right so you don’t accidentally walk into the path of any moving lasers.

Third room

The third room is the most challenging. That’s because all the lasers in here are moving in a circular motion around the room and will go from clockwise to anticlockwise and back again. Therefore, you must remain extremely vigilant when moving through this room.

Drop down and take cover behind this crate.

To get past the lasers in this room, drop down from the platform you’re on and quickly get behind the crate of artillery shells. Wait for the lasers to move away from you and slowly follow them. You will see a stack of crates ahead of you (west).

Climb onto these crates.

With the lasers continuing to move away from you, quickly climb onto the crates and jump onto the beam immediately ahead. Jump onto the next beam and then over the railing.

Jump across onto these beams.

You have now successfully escaped the lasers. However, you need all three members of your squad to make it across the room before you can progress further.

Be sure to refill your armour and ammo here. Once you’re done, open the gate and press the button on the wall to your right to disable the lasers.
