Plot[]

TF-141 informs Laswell about Konni extracting the chemical gas from the nuclear plant as she reveals that the missiles stolen from Farah have been taken to an abandoned bunker complex. Price rendezvous Farah while Gaz, Soap, and Ghost sweep through the complex and Laswell heads to Arklov to meet with a contact who can help. After finding Farah in the forest, she and Price talks about Konni and their activities since Makarov's breakout. Price wasn't happy when Farah mentions that Graves and Shadow Company are helping her people due to them betraying his team one year earlier, but the Captain still trust her as they split up.

Price controls a drone to scout the facility before heading off. As he search for a Konni captain, Price notice the ULF flags draped throughout the facility with the team figuring out that Makarov's trying to launch the missiles and blame Farah and her people for the attack. Eventually, Price found a Konni captain and eliminates him; then, he takes the keycard and access the bunker door. Price proceeds to move inside the bunker; however, three Konni soldiers spotted him from a guard room and closed the doors. Meanwhile, Farah drops down from the ceiling vent and kills the soldiers before opening the door for Price as the two sweep through the server room and missile control room. Suddenly, the ground started to shake as the two realize that Konni's trying to launch the missiles. Once the two reach the silo, the team notify them that the missiles are loaded with the chemical gas. Before Price and Farah prepare to disarm it, the missile's engines started to wind up. With only a limited time, Price fights back up to the surface and head inside the control tower to use a lever for the blast doors. The missile launched, but it hit the closed doors and gets destroyed while Farah manages to get to a safe distance.

Unfortunately, the rest of the 141 weren't successful in disarming the other two missiles as they launch from the northwest and head towards the Arklov Base in Kastovia, with Price trying to alert Laswell - who's currently in the Arklov Base - about the threat coming her way.

Trivia[]

Several Perseus flags can be seen in the bunker control room.
All weapons from Konni Group have a total of 6 different attachments as a single setup, with the exclusion of the Vaznev-9k having 5 instead for not having any featured barrel attachments in the campaign. Their sidearm does not comply with this change, as it will appear with camouflage and random attachments. However, snipers in the bunker will have an uncustomized COR-45.
Unlike the snipers found in the bunker, the Konni sniper on overwatch from the surface can possess either a MCPR-300 or a KVD Enforcer with random attachments and "Shadow Tiger" camouflage.
The base commander posesses an uncustomizied Kastov 545.
