Objective 2 : Defend the west bank of the canal.

Learn how to defend the west bank of the canal in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. This guide covers weapon selection, enemy positions, and strategic defense points.

Alright, so after all those mortars stop raining down, your squad's gonna make a break for it across the bridge. Keep an eye out as you get to the end – there's a sweet weapon cache right there. Grab whatever you like, but don't dawdle; time is tight. Personally, I always go for the MP44 and the Kar98k, they're solid choices.

Next up, you need to head southeast. You'll find a small yard with a low brick wall around it. Your best bet is to hang out on the outside of this wall, maybe about 15 feet from that wrecked tank. Keep your eyes peeled on both entrances to this yard because a good number of Germans are gonna come through. Just blast them with your machine gun or SMG as they appear. There might be some quiet moments where it feels like nobody's coming, but trust me, they'll be back, so just stay patient.

If you're feeling a bit antsy or just want to mix things up, you can always head north to where your squad is duking it out with another big group. Just a heads-up though, especially on the harder difficulties, I tend to avoid this northern approach. It's easy to take a lot more damage over there if you're not super careful, so sticking to the yard is usually the safer play.
