Your Tax Dollars at Work Trophy Guide in MW3: At In

Learn how to get the 'Your Tax Dollars at Work' trophy in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III during the Danger Close mission. Master the AC-130 missile.

Alright, let’s talk about snagging the 'Your Tax Dollars at Work' trophy in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. This one’s tied to the Danger Close mission, which is actually the thirteenth one you’ll play through. You’ll be in control of the AC-130 gunship, and the goal is to take out a single enemy with a missile strike.

Here’s the lowdown: when you’re up in the AC-130, you’ll want to find your teammates on the west side of the map. They’ll draw enemy fire, which is exactly what you need. You’ve got three ammo types to play with: 25MM, 40MM, and Missiles. To get this trophy, you need to switch to the Missiles. On PlayStation, that’s Triangle; on Xbox, it’s Y. Since missiles have a pretty big blast radius, hitting just one enemy might sound tricky, but we’ve got a strategy.

The best way to nail this is to wait for the enemies to start spawning. Instead of aiming right for the middle of the group, focus on an enemy on the outer edge. This way, you can launch the missile a bit further out, and the explosion will take them down. Your best bet is to try this early in the mission when there aren't too many enemies swarming around. It makes it way easier to isolate a target without accidentally getting a multi-kill.

Pro-Tip: Position your missile so it’s near the enemy on the outside. Aim the missile slightly towards the edge of your target to ensure they get caught in the blast radius. It’s all about using that splash damage to your advantage!
