Modern Warfare 3 campaign mission 4 "Payload" walkthrough: How to complete, rewards, and more – Sportskeeda

Published

 on


Payload is the fourth mission in the Modern Warfare 3 campaign. It’s played out from Captain Price’s perspective and takes place right after the mission “Reactor.” After barely surviving the gas, Price is determined to get those stolen missiles back. The mission unfolds in multiple phases, with the tides turning as things don’t go as planned for Task Force 141 and their allies.

In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at how you can complete the MW3 campaign mission 4 “Payload” easily.

If you are yet to complete the seventh mission of the Modern Warfare 3 campaign, be sure to check out the previous one, “Reactor.”

In Modern Warfare 3 campaign mission 4, “Payload,” Price heads back to Urzikstan to get a hold of the stolen chemical missiles. But he is not alone this time. Farah will be accompanying Captain Price, although they fight together in only a short section of the mission.

Since this isn’t an Open Combat mission, there’s a little to explore. This also restricts the number of ways you can go about completing the mission. Hence, the entire mission can be broken down into the following five objectives:

  • Sneak through the fields into the base.
  • Acquire the key to the bunkers.
  • Reach the missile launch room.
  • Reach the control room on the surface.
  • Shut down the silo doors.

Sneak through the fields into the base

Mission 4 “Payload” will begin with Captain Price using a Scout Drone to recon the area. Scan the entire base, starting with the bunker entrance point and ending with the warehouses. Now, the game will shift perspective, and you’ll assume the role of Captain Price in first-person.

Although the game asks you to complete this section with stealth, you can go guns blazing without any consequences. However, if you are playing in Hardened or the Veteran difficulty mode, it is recommended to use stealth. If you choose to focus on stealth, it is advised to take the left flank and gain access to the base.

Take a few steps forward, and you will encounter two Konni soldiers. If you position yourself correctly, you can line up your shot to take out both of them with just one bullet. Keep moving forward and stay on the left flank. There will be more enemies on the road whom you have to take down without getting noticed by the others.

Soon, you will come across a broken wall leading you to the base. Although the bunker entrance is near this point, the key for it will be located on the other side. It will be with the enemy soldier wearing a red beret, who is inside the warehouse on the other end.


Get the keycard to access the bunkers

Before moving ahead to get the key, make sure to take down the Sniper on top of the control center. It is the blue building located at the center.

Use the broken buildings and vehicles as cover to reach the warehouses on the other end. Tread carefully in this location and make sure to single the enemies out before eliminating them.

Do not assume that enemies from far away can’t spot you if you are in the open. If you can see them, they can see you as well. Take advantage of the tall grass and the walls to stay hidden. Frequently use the Scout Drone to scan the area and locate enemies in the vicinity.

Reach the warehouse marked with the number 3 to find the soldier wearing a red beret. Eliminate him and collect the keycard. If you are having trouble finding this warehouse, it is the one nearest to the control room. Now, simply get to the bunker entrance point to complete this section.


Regroup with Farah and reach the missile launch room

Once inside, drop to the lower levels by rappeling down. As soon as you reach the bottom, two soldiers will try to attack you. Eliminate them and move forward. Now, you will find yourself trapped as the enemies lock all the doors on you and trap you inside. Fortunately for you, Farah will show up and enter the guard room to eliminate the soldiers and make way for you.

In the next room, you can refill your ammunition and throwables. Continue moving forward and follow Farah’s lead. Eliminate all the Konni soldiers you come across. As you clear the underground control room, you will hear a large explosion. Keep following her, and she will lead you to the missile launch room.


Reach the control tower on the surface and close the silo doors

Upon reaching the missile room, you will find out that Makarov intends to make use of Farah’s missiles to launch attacks and blame her for terrorism. Hence, Farah and Captain Price must focus on stopping the missile from going off. She will ask you to use the console to prevent the missile from launching. Interact with the device.

Unfortunately, it is too late now to disarm it, and the only way to stop it would be to close the silo doors so that the missile never gets out of the bunker. You must now reach the surface control tower and close the doors from there. However, you have only three minutes to do so.

As soon as the timer kicks off, a door will open up with enemies outside. Eliminate all of them. Keep pushing until you come across a Juggernaut, take him out, and a few soldiers will open the door behind him to attack you. Take them down as well. Now, push through this door and ascend to the surface.

You will face a swarm of enemies along with a Juggernaut. You must take them out within the next few minutes and use the stairs to reach the control tower. If you do not kill them, the game will not allow you to close the silo doors. Hence, make sure that the area is clear before moving ahead.

The mission will come to an end once you close the silo doors, with the cutscenes leading up to mission 5, “Deep Cover,” rolling out.

Ottawa orders TikTok’s Canadian arm to be dissolved

Published

 on

 

The federal government is ordering the dissolution of TikTok’s Canadian business after a national security review of the Chinese company behind the social media platform, but stopped short of ordering people to stay off the app.

Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne announced the government’s “wind up” demand Wednesday, saying it is meant to address “risks” related to ByteDance Ltd.’s establishment of TikTok Technology Canada Inc.

“The decision was based on the information and evidence collected over the course of the review and on the advice of Canada’s security and intelligence community and other government partners,” he said in a statement.

The announcement added that the government is not blocking Canadians’ access to the TikTok application or their ability to create content.

However, it urged people to “adopt good cybersecurity practices and assess the possible risks of using social media platforms and applications, including how their information is likely to be protected, managed, used and shared by foreign actors, as well as to be aware of which country’s laws apply.”

Champagne’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment seeking details about what evidence led to the government’s dissolution demand, how long ByteDance has to comply and why the app is not being banned.

A TikTok spokesperson said in a statement that the shutdown of its Canadian offices will mean the loss of hundreds of well-paying local jobs.

“We will challenge this order in court,” the spokesperson said.

“The TikTok platform will remain available for creators to find an audience, explore new interests and for businesses to thrive.”

The federal Liberals ordered a national security review of TikTok in September 2023, but it was not public knowledge until The Canadian Press reported in March that it was investigating the company.

At the time, it said the review was based on the expansion of a business, which it said constituted the establishment of a new Canadian entity. It declined to provide any further details about what expansion it was reviewing.

A government database showed a notification of new business from TikTok in June 2023. It said Network Sense Ventures Ltd. in Toronto and Vancouver would engage in “marketing, advertising, and content/creator development activities in relation to the use of the TikTok app in Canada.”

Even before the review, ByteDance and TikTok were lightning rod for privacy and safety concerns because Chinese national security laws compel organizations in the country to assist with intelligence gathering.

Such concerns led the U.S. House of Representatives to pass a bill in March designed to ban TikTok unless its China-based owner sells its stake in the business.

Champagne’s office has maintained Canada’s review was not related to the U.S. bill, which has yet to pass.

Canada’s review was carried out through the Investment Canada Act, which allows the government to investigate any foreign investment with potential to might harm national security.

While cabinet can make investors sell parts of the business or shares, Champagne has said the act doesn’t allow him to disclose details of the review.

Wednesday’s dissolution order was made in accordance with the act.

The federal government banned TikTok from its mobile devices in February 2023 following the launch of an investigation into the company by federal and provincial privacy commissioners.

Here is how to prepare your online accounts for when you die

Published

 on

 

LONDON (AP) — Most people have accumulated a pile of data — selfies, emails, videos and more — on their social media and digital accounts over their lifetimes. What happens to it when we die?

It’s wise to draft a will spelling out who inherits your physical assets after you’re gone, but don’t forget to take care of your digital estate too. Friends and family might treasure files and posts you’ve left behind, but they could get lost in digital purgatory after you pass away unless you take some simple steps.

Here’s how you can prepare your digital life for your survivors:

Apple

The iPhone maker lets you nominate a “ legacy contact ” who can access your Apple account’s data after you die. The company says it’s a secure way to give trusted people access to photos, files and messages. To set it up you’ll need an Apple device with a fairly recent operating system — iPhones and iPads need iOS or iPadOS 15.2 and MacBooks needs macOS Monterey 12.1.

For iPhones, go to settings, tap Sign-in & Security and then Legacy Contact. You can name one or more people, and they don’t need an Apple ID or device.

You’ll have to share an access key with your contact. It can be a digital version sent electronically, or you can print a copy or save it as a screenshot or PDF.

Take note that there are some types of files you won’t be able to pass on — including digital rights-protected music, movies and passwords stored in Apple’s password manager. Legacy contacts can only access a deceased user’s account for three years before Apple deletes the account.

Google

Google takes a different approach with its Inactive Account Manager, which allows you to share your data with someone if it notices that you’ve stopped using your account.

When setting it up, you need to decide how long Google should wait — from three to 18 months — before considering your account inactive. Once that time is up, Google can notify up to 10 people.

You can write a message informing them you’ve stopped using the account, and, optionally, include a link to download your data. You can choose what types of data they can access — including emails, photos, calendar entries and YouTube videos.

There’s also an option to automatically delete your account after three months of inactivity, so your contacts will have to download any data before that deadline.

Facebook and Instagram

Some social media platforms can preserve accounts for people who have died so that friends and family can honor their memories.

When users of Facebook or Instagram die, parent company Meta says it can memorialize the account if it gets a “valid request” from a friend or family member. Requests can be submitted through an online form.

The social media company strongly recommends Facebook users add a legacy contact to look after their memorial accounts. Legacy contacts can do things like respond to new friend requests and update pinned posts, but they can’t read private messages or remove or alter previous posts. You can only choose one person, who also has to have a Facebook account.

You can also ask Facebook or Instagram to delete a deceased user’s account if you’re a close family member or an executor. You’ll need to send in documents like a death certificate.

TikTok

The video-sharing platform says that if a user has died, people can submit a request to memorialize the account through the settings menu. Go to the Report a Problem section, then Account and profile, then Manage account, where you can report a deceased user.

Once an account has been memorialized, it will be labeled “Remembering.” No one will be able to log into the account, which prevents anyone from editing the profile or using the account to post new content or send messages.

X

It’s not possible to nominate a legacy contact on Elon Musk’s social media site. But family members or an authorized person can submit a request to deactivate a deceased user’s account.

Passwords

Besides the major online services, you’ll probably have dozens if not hundreds of other digital accounts that your survivors might need to access. You could just write all your login credentials down in a notebook and put it somewhere safe. But making a physical copy presents its own vulnerabilities. What if you lose track of it? What if someone finds it?

Instead, consider a password manager that has an emergency access feature. Password managers are digital vaults that you can use to store all your credentials. Some, like Keeper,Bitwarden and NordPass, allow users to nominate one or more trusted contacts who can access their keys in case of an emergency such as a death.

But there are a few catches: Those contacts also need to use the same password manager and you might have to pay for the service.

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s competition watchdog said Thursday it’s opening a formal investigation into Google’s partnership with artificial intelligence startup Anthropic.

The Competition and Markets Authority said it has “sufficient information” to launch an initial probe after it sought input earlier this year on whether the deal would stifle competition.

The CMA has until Dec. 19 to decide whether to approve the deal or escalate its investigation.

“Google is committed to building the most open and innovative AI ecosystem in the world,” the company said. “Anthropic is free to use multiple cloud providers and does, and we don’t demand exclusive tech rights.”

San Francisco-based Anthropic was founded in 2021 by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, who previously worked at ChatGPT maker OpenAI. The company has focused on increasing the safety and reliability of AI models. Google reportedly agreed last year to make a multibillion-dollar investment in Anthropic, which has a popular chatbot named Claude.

Anthropic said it’s cooperating with the regulator and will provide “the complete picture about Google’s investment and our commercial collaboration.”

“We are an independent company and none of our strategic partnerships or investor relationships diminish the independence of our corporate governance or our freedom to partner with others,” it said in a statement.

The U.K. regulator has been scrutinizing a raft of AI deals as investment money floods into the industry to capitalize on the artificial intelligence boom. Last month it cleared Anthropic’s $4 billion deal with Amazon and it has also signed off on Microsoft’s deals with two other AI startups, Inflection and Mistral.
