- "Go behind enemy lines, extract Dr. Linda Morales, and user her intel to hunt "Mr Z" - benefactor and source of AQ's new arsenal."
- — Mission briefing.
Operation Paladin is an Operation featured within the Special Ops mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Completing the Operation for the first time rewarded players with the Operator Rodion.
Plot[]
The Arm-4 team is sent to rescue Doctor Linda Morales, a volunteer physician in Verdansk. She was taken hostage by Al-Qatala after she informed Armistice that Mr Z was using medical shipments from the World Humanitarian Project to move hazardous materials into the city.
After the team managed to rescue and exfil Morales, she told them that a deal was happening at the airfield. Arm-4 was re-deployed nearby to escort an APC, callsign Havoc 2-0, which would aid them in pushing to the airfield. The team discovered several weapon crates containing Chem-Bio weapons derived from Roman Barkov's chlorine gas. Fighting through a large numbers of AQ forces, they recovered a nuclear warhead but found its core was missing. The team exfil'ed the area shortly afterward.
Overview[]
Operation Paladin will require players to infiltrate a storage facility and capture a jammer to disable it. The more players near the jammer, the quicker the capture will be. The players will then need to rescue the hostage. Players will need to defend their position inside a abandoned swimming pool while waiting for the exfil. Dozens of soldiers and several suicide bombers will attack the pool.
After the hostage is saved, the players will be deployed near an APC that needs to be escorted to a nearby store. Several proximity mines, as well as multiple RPG-wielding enemies, will need to be taken care of in order to prevent the APC from taking damage. Once outside the store, the players will need to mark and defend a crate. If an enemy plants a bomb on the crate, a player will need to defuse it before it explodes. The second crate will be inside the store. The enemy will deploy smoke and players will face multiple soldiers, suicide bombers, as well as a Juggernaut. The third crate is outside the store. Once the defense event is started, several Juggernauts and an Infantry Assault Vehicle will spawn, as well as suicide bombers and foot soldiers. Once the defense event is completed, players can proceed to the exfil.
