This Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (MW3) guide explains where to get the Ascender in the Gora Dam mission.

Gamers who secured early access by pre-ordering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III are already able to check out its campaign. In this latest iteration of the series, players once again step into the shoes of Task Force 141 members embarking on a global mission to confront the ultranationalist antagonist, Vladimir Makarov, and his Konni Group soldiers.

While Call of Duty campaigns have historically been known for their fast-paced linear missions and spectacular action sequences, MW3 mixes things up somewhat.

Rather than a string of scripted missions, the campaign primarily revolves around “open combat” scenarios. These offer players the freedom to complete missions in a way that suits them best. This approach includes opportunities to collect weapons, field upgrades, equipment, and more. One mission like this is ‘Gora Dam’. For this mission, players control Ghost.

Ghost has been tasked with defusing four bombs at various locations around the dam. As you explore the area, you will come across various ascend points. To use them, you need an Ascender. If you’re in search of this item, I’m here to provide you with all the details having completed it myself. Read on to find out more.

The Ascender in the Gora Dam mission is on the second floor of building on the west side of the map. It is on a table at the centre of the room near the machinery. It can be found at map coordinates D5.

The building is being patrolled by numerous enemy soldiers, so take your time when you enter.

Various other items and supplies are scattered around the Ascender. Likewise, there is an orange weapon crate nearby. Therefore, it’s well worth taking the time to fully loot the room after you’ve collected the Ascender.

Once you have the Ascender, you can use it at all the ascend points throughout the Gora Dam map.
