Call of Duty Cold War: Break on Through - walkthrough Call of Duty Cold War guide, walkthrough
Last update: 15 March 2021
This chapter of the Call of Duty Cold War guide provides information about the Break on Through mission. Break on Through is the eighth campaign mission, which you will have to play through as many as 4 times.
The mission consists of open combat and various strange illusions. In this mission you can also get The Red Door achievement, which consists in being disobedient to Adler. It is best to decide on your approach before the mission so that you can either obey or disobey the whole time.
Each playthrough of this mission begins the same way, but will differ later on depending on your decisions. The first scenario begins with a helicopter crash. You and your allies will find yourselves under heavy enemy fire. You're gonna have to take your gun, clear the area and move forward.
The second scenario starts in the same place, but at dusk and under different circumstances. Here you will have to battle through the enemies on your own using a bow.
The third scenario begins during the day, also in the same place as the previous ones. You will be equipped with the M79 grenade launcher.
The fourth and final scenario starts during the day, but you'll be able to skip the fight. Here it doesn't really matter what choice you make (whether you obey or not).
Below you will find two paths for each playthrough of the mission (for each scenario).
First scenario
Follow Adler's orders
If you decide to follow Adler's orders, you will contact a small group of American soldiers. You will have to quietly eliminate your rivals (but whether you actually do it quietly or not doesn't really matter in the end). Eliminate the enemy soldiers and go along the stream, turn right, enter the cave and continue eliminating enemies inside. Move forward until you find the red door.
Ignore Adler's orders
If you ignore Adler's orders and go left instead of right, you will reach the rope bridge. Here you can decide whether to obey Adler and go to the cave or not. Cross the bridge. You'll have to launch an attack in the village. Eliminate all enemies and reach the end. At some point, the helicopter will attack clusters of houses, showing you the red door. Enter them and sit on a chair.
Second scenario
Follow Adler's orders
At the crossroads, follow the left path and cross the rope bridge, then turn right according to Adler's instructions. You will have to battle through a village full of enemy soldiers. Eliminate everyone and move forward until the helicopter destroys the clusters of houses and a bunker with the red door appears. Go inside - you will find yourself in a room with 2 projectors.
Set the projectors in such a way that the door appears and then enter it.
Ignore Adler's orders
If you don't listen to Adler again, turn left at the crossroads by the ruins. Cross the rope bridge and, contrary to Adler's instructions, turn left again past the bridge. You will come to a place where there are tough battles with the enemy. Then you will get a sniper rifle - eliminate all enemies. After the napalm drop, you will find the red door in one of the houses. Enter it. You'll find yourself in the middle of a corridor leading to the lab. If you are interested in the story, you will find several windows on your left side. After interacting with them, they will suggest that your character has been brainwashed. Go to the end of the hall and open the last window. Sit on the chair.
Third scenario
Follow Adler's orders
This time, at the ruins take the left path. You'll notice a fight frozen in time. Cross the bridge and go left. Use your sniper rifle to eliminate all enemies and wait for the napalm attack. A door will appear in one of the huts - try to enter it. You will be teleported to the corridor. Try to follow the red door all the time and enter it. Once you have passed through the right and only door, go through the room until you find the computer - use it.
Ignore Adler's orders
At the ruins, take the left path once again. After a while, you'll be forced to use the zipline at the bridge. Use it, but do not go into the cave - you will find a wooden hatch on the right side. Go inside and then into the dark tunnels. Eventually you will reach a large dark cave where you will be attacked and killed by zombies. Go through the red door. You will be teleported to the corridor. Keep moving through the hallways to the red door. At the very end, sit on the chair.
Fourth scenario
In this scenario, you can skip fighting in the fields and go straight to the ruins. The red door will appear in the ruins. At this point, it makes no difference whether you enter them or refuse and go your own way- the red door will keep falling down from the sky until you're finally teleported to a room where you will have to enter them. You will find yourself in a room with Perseus. During the meeting, you will find out where he wants to detonate all the nuclear warheads. In the end, you will learn that you are one of the soldiers who got injured during the Nowhere Left to Run mission. It was then when you were captured and brainwashed.
