Call of Duty Cold War: Desperate Measures - evidence Call of Duty Cold War guide, walkthrough
Last update: 08 March 2021
This section of the guide contains a description and locations of important pieces of evidence in Call of Duty Cold War. You will find them in the Desperate Measures mission. You will need them for the Operation Red Circus side mission.
General information
In this mission, you may struggle with finding the watch containing a list of dead drops because it spawns randomly on the map. To find it, you will have to scout several rooms, ignoring the mission objective (that is, obtaining the key).
This is the moment when you have to try to find the key in several different ways. Do not look for the key itself on any account. Just go through the places where you may obtain it because this is where the evidence will spawn.
To make it easier, there are two locations where the watch appears most often: the server room and the data entry room.
It happens often that you need to go to the basement immediately after turning off the cameras in order for the watch to spawn, e.g. in the server room.
Server room
The server room is located in the basement. It is guarded by 3 guards (two inside and one outside). You can get to the server room through the ventilation system, which is located right next to the stairs. Eliminate the guards so that they do not disturb you (those inside). There are at least 2 closets to hide the bodies. The watch should be located on the server room desk (somewhere approximately in the middle of the room).
Data entry room
One of the easier places. There is a high chance that the evidence will spawn exactly here. There's only 1 guard inside, so it'll be easy for you to get in. There are 2 doors leading to the room, one of which is guarded. Enter through the unguarded door, then set yourself up to the next door so that you can easily open it with a lock pick.
Eliminate the guard inside and hide him. Go to the next room, this time the smaller one. You will find the computer needed for the main mission objective and the evidence: it will be lying on the edge of the desk, as in the photo below.
