Modern Warfare 3's final Open Combat Area mission will see players step into the shoes of fan-favorite character, Simon "Ghost" Riley, in an attempt to find and diffuse four chemical bombs scattered in the mission area. While the general area of each bomb location is marked on the player's tac-map, players must search each location to find exactly where the bomb is hidden and defuse it, all while hiding from or fighting through Konni soldiers.

In addition to progressing through the mission, defusing the bomb being transported on the truck in the proper timeframe and without being detected can award players the Hitchhiker achievement or trophy.

Bomb Locations

mw3 - gora dam bombs - bomb 1 map

The first bomb is located in C-4 near where Ghost BASE jumps from. Search the bunker in C-4 and head to the back room to find the bomb. Be cautious of the claymore mines set up through the bunker, along with armored Konni soldiers. Once the bunker is clear interact with the bomb to defuse it.

The second bomb is located in D-6, on the catwalk underneath the dam. Approach the catwalk for the West, taking the staircase in C-6 down towards the area. There is a sentry turret on this platform that guards the catwalk, come up behind the turret and use the interact button to hack and disable the turret. Once on the catwalk, head to the second alcove on the left to find the bomb and defuse it.

The third bomb is located in F-5 under the main bridge underwater. The bomb can be hard to see underwater, dive as low as possible to improve visibility while swimming through the pipes under the bridge and players will quickly find the bomb.

The final bomb is located on the back of a truck that is in transit at the start of the mission. Players can either intercept its path and attempt to defuse it without alerting nearby forces (keep in mind if enemies off the truck spot you the truck will stop and the enemies inside will exit the truck and begin attacking) or wait for the truck to reach its final destination in the G-2 grid point near the weapon supply crate. If players can get on the truck silently and defuse the bomb without being detected and stopping the truck players can earn a trophy on PlayStation or an achievement on PC or Xbox.

How to Get the Hitchhiker Achievement/Trophy

If players are attempting to complete the trophy objective for the mission Gora Dam, they will want to go for the truck bomb first - the truck will only drive for a short period at the start of the mission before parking permanently and players lose the ability to complete the achievement without restarting the mission. BASE jump and head to the right, looking for the winding road just past the compound with the bunker in C-4. Aim to land on the truck or just behind it before it reaches the compound, providing enough time to hack and defuse the bomb and get off the truck before any enemies become aware. Players also need to ensure a smooth landing if landing directly on the truck - cutting the chute and falling too far will create enough noise to alert the Konni soldiers in the truck causing them to come to an immediate stop.

Land properly and defuse the bomb before being noticed and the Hitchhiker achievement or trophy will be completed.
