Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

You must unlock the Tier 4 map, "Riot". To do so, you must unlock each tier in succession. Tier 1 is available by default, and you must complete 50 rounds in any combination in those maps to unlock Tier 2. To unlock Tier 3, complete 75 rounds in the Tier 2 maps. To unlock Tier 4, complete 100 rounds in the Tier 3 maps. Tier 4 only has one map; "Riot". Complete round 10 in Riot and a DNA Bomb will drop. It will infect your enemies and turn them into zombies for round 11. Complete round 11 to view a cinematic that shows a large number of zombies overrunning the area.

Note: All Exo-Abilities require battery energy, which cannot be recharged. You can use perks such as Overcharge or Fast Hands to get better battery life and activate Exo-Abilities faster.

• Exo Shield: Absorbs 100% damage from enemy bullets. It can be used while in mid-air. You must crouch to protect your lower legs and feet. The Fast Hands Perks will let you deploy it faster. This ability is available in both single player and multi-player modes.
• Exo Overclock: Increases your movement speed briefly.
• Exo Mute-Deive: Silences your movements and amplifies the sounds of your enemies. It does not limit your visibility on the mini-map.
• Exo Stim: Boosts your health for a short amount of time. It can be used in small boosts to prevent battery drain.
• Exo Cloak: Surrounds you with optical camouflage. Your transparent outline will be the only thing visible until you you fire a weapon.
• Exo Hover: Hover in mid-air briefly.
• Exo Ping: Similar to a Threat Grenade except your enemies must use Exo Movements or fire their weapons to become visible.
• Exo Trophy System: Destroy up to two incoming projectiles, excluding gunshots.
• Exo Launcher: Manually detonate a grenade in the mid-air. Normally you can take two grenades, however with Bombardier Wildcard, you can replace your Exo Ability with another grenade which must be different from the other two. This means that you cannot equip three of the same grenades.

Note: Certain Exo actions such as Boost Jump, Dodge, and Dash will briefly make you appear on an enemy's mini-map. To avoid this, use the Blast Suppressor Perk.

• Boost Jump: Tap [Jump] twice to gain extra height and distance. It does not have a cooldown and is available in single player and multi-player modes.
• Boost Dodge: Sprint left, right, or backwards. It has a short cooldown and is available in single player and multi-player modes.
• Boost Dash: While in the mid-air, sprint in any direction with the Left Analog-stick. It has a short cooldown and is available in single player and multi-player modes.
• Boost Slam: Boost Jump into the air then press [Crouch] to quickly descend to the ground. Landing directly on top of an enemy will instantly kill that player. It can be combined with the Overcharge Perk to create a shockwave at your landing point to cause area of effect damage to nearby enemies. It does not have a cooldown and is available in single player and multi-player modes.
• Boost Slide: Sprint then hold [Crouch]. It can be combined with the Gung-Ho Perk to gain the ability to shoot while Boost Sliding. It does not have a cooldown and is available in single player and multi-player modes.

Upgrade points used to improve your Exoskeleton are earned through completing the four challenges (Kills, Grenade Kills, Head-shots, Intel Collected) in the single player campaign. There are eleven upgrades for Mitchell which require a total of 33 upgrade points.
