Bear in mind that you and your other two squadmates have to maneuver through an underground facility, complete water puzzles, and take out enemies during the Atomgrad Raid. This will require all three of you to be extremely coordinated and work together. The Atomgrad Raid’s puzzles are randomized on every new playthrough and change multiple times during each playthrough. Therefore, there is no definitive solution. Players will be able to solve them if they understand the basic method and mechanics. The first puzzle in the Atomgrad Raid is opening the doors to a submarine.
Notably, upon successfully completing the Raid, you can unlock hard mode. Just like the standard Raid, you will need two teammates by your side to conquer the hard mode.
According to Infinity Ward, completing Atomgrad Episode 1 on normal difficulty will give you the following rewards:
Gaz: Convoy skin (guaranteed)
One of seven items from the Raid loot pool which can be a player card, emblem, loading screen, or unique weapon blueprint.
