How to get the Cover Agent achievement in Black Ops 6

Achievement & Trophy hunting is back for Call of Duty. With Black Ops 6 releasing for free on the game pass, hunting for achievements is back on the menu.

There are 44 achievements worth a total of 1,000 Gamerscore, four of which are secret. In this article, we'll be breaking down how to unlock the Covert Agent achievement.

This achievement takes place within the third mission of the game, Blood Feud. It requires players to reach the Guild meeting without ever breaking stealth. This is easy enough with just a few tricks to avoid arousing suspicion from enemies.

Mission Start

The difficulty you select doesn't affect the ability to unlock the achievement, so selecting 'Recruit' allows you to quickly run through the mission. You start at a telephone booth needing to reach the church tower. You'll only need to take out a single enemy before jumping into the river. This allows you to dodge any enemies in front of the church.

Stay below the water while going down the river. There will be a staircase to climb up and hide. You might bring up suspicion in this area, but there are boxes at the top to hide behind and take out any enemies that might check it out.

From their hug, the right wall and make it around the corner. There is a path to reaching the back of the church, which allows you to avoid all enemies in the front. You'll have to take out one final guard before being able to climb to the second story of the church, so beware.

Once on the second story of the church, you'll have to take out three guards. After you take out the first in the window that you climb into, wait for the second guard to come up the staircase from the first floor. Throwing knives are key here, as you can eliminate all three enemies without making a sound. The final enemy is near the door you must picklock to the right. Take him out so there is no risk of him hearing or seeing you as you picklock the door.

From there, climb the ladder and eliminate the target. You'll have to listen to his call before finally taking the shot. This will set up the second of three parts to the achievement.

Escaping from the Church

This part is crucial to doing fast. You'll have to get down the ladder and out of the second story of the church as fast as possible. Once on the ladder, hold down "O" on PS controllers or "B" on Xbox to slide down the ladder. You'll have to escape through the same window that you came through to start, but do it fast before the enemies come up the staircase, as seen below. If you are too slow, they'll spot you trying to escape.

Once you make it out of the window, you need to jump back into the river. There will only be ONE enemy to eliminate. He'll be running to the bridge, and shouldn't even be looking at you coming down from the Church. Take him out, jump into the river, and get below the water as you swim back down to the beginning of the river. The enemies should stop looking for you and retreat back to the Church once you are swimming, so you'll be able to get out at the end of the river with a staircase. From there make your way to the van and head to the final stage of this achievement.

Breaking into the Restuarant

The final portion to finish in order to unlock this achievement is breaking into the restaurant. The easiest path is through the Left Alley, which leads to a vent. From there you can gain access into the building.

After you've climbed into the vent, take the right-side vent. This will lead to a room with two enemies talking. Proceed to enter the room and eliminate the targets to proceed to leave the room empty.

This will lead into a hallway, in which you'll have to enter the bathroom on the right to eliminate an enemy. He'll be talking to himself in the mirror, so you can take him out silently. After leaving the bathroom, head to the big room on the right, where you'll only need to take out one enemy by using your throwing knife. After he is taken out, use the staircase to the left that leads to the second floor. There is multiple enemies on the floor but only one will be needed to be eliminated. He'll be facing you as you come up from the staircase, so beware. Take him out with a throwing knife and enter the antechamber to complete the achievement.

While this may be hard to do the first time, patience is key and will make it simple the next time around. Don't be afraid to use the "Last Checkpoint" button in the menu if your cover gets blown. Good luck and have fun hunting out there!
