Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 intel locations guide

Mission 6: Karma

Intel Item 1

Once you enter the server room, go to the far right and continue forward through the room to find the intel on the desk to the right just ahead of you and before the elevator that you walk into.

Intel Item 2

When you are in the mall, there will be stores on both the upper and lower levers. Go down to the lower level via the stairs and head to the right side to find a clothing store called d’HO. Enter it and behind the counter at the back red wall will be the intel on a shelf.

Intel Item 3

When chasing DeFalco through the large wide open area right near the end of the mission, stick to the right side and just after an advertisment sign of a woman that says “Salon” and before a sign that says “LKH”, the intel will be on a kiosk that can only be seen from the other side. Grab it quickly and then continue your chase.

Mission 7: Suffer With Me

Intel Item 1

Once you and Mason infiltrate the building by entering the skylight on the roof, walk along the catwalk to the left and go through the long office. At the end, make a right and before going down the stairs there, the intel will be on the shelf to the left.

Intel Item 2

When you are escorting Noriega, you will be told to head to a church to the north. Just before you reach it, go to the left of the courtyard in front of it and there will be a building with a large hole in the wall. Enter the building and go directly forward as you enter to find the intel on the counter there.

Intel Item 3

As soon as the cutscene ends from just after the previous intel item, walk forward through two doorways directly in front of you and you will find the intel item on the table against the wall, beside a sink. If you reach the nurse who needs help to the left, you have gone too far and will need to go back into the previous room.

Mission 8: Achilles Veil

Intel Item 1

As soon as you are able to start firing, go to the right side of the large courtyard and at the far end—to the left of the archway-- will be a staircase. Take it up and the intel will be on the ground in front of the next set of stairs leading up.

Intel Item 2

Immediately after you take control of Mason, you will run forward and turn left down an alley with some quad-choppers. Around the corner that opens up to a larger area, there will be a soldier firing from a ground floor window with a TV screen behind him. Kill him and then enter the room and look in the far corner for the intel hiding on the ground.

Intel Item 3

Just after you exit the town and are running along the dirt path with the Quadrotors, you will come to a path on the right side that leads downwards. Take it and follow it to the building that is just ahead and climb the steps on the right side. Circle around to the ladder behind the building and climb to the roof where the intel will be sitting on the left side beside a large white tank.

Mission 9: Odysseus

Intel Item 1

After the interrogation, you’ll eventually come to the large Comm Room that is full of computers, enemies, and a turret in the center. Once you clear it out, go through the doorway on the right and it will lead you to the bridge. On the right side on the console there will be the intel.

Intel Item 2

Once the scene with Menendez and Briggs is over, and your objective to reach the hanger pops up, go to the right and down the stairs. When you come to the doorway on the right side, there will be another staircase leading up to a small room. Go in there before heading down to the hanger and find the intel inside.

Intel Item 3

Once you have met with Salazar in the hanger, ride the deck lift up to the top deck of the Obama and make your way to the right. Move forward along the right side and you will come to two VTOLs with the rear ramp down. Enter the second one and the intel will be at the front of the plane, at the open door next to the cockpit.

Mission 10: Cordis Die

Intel Item 1

After you take out the drones with the missiles, you will be given the option to snipe or rappel with the President. Whichever you choose, you will end up rappelling down anyways, so once you do reach the level below and make your way up the left side. You will see a burned out car with flames still going there and the intel will be on the other side of it.

Intel Item 2

Right after you finish driving the truck and destroy the first CLAW that approaches, enter the lobby on the left side and you can find the intel on the counter in the center of the room.

Intel Item 3

Just up the street a little ways from the previous intel item--after you destroy the third CLAW-- you will enter the Downtown Plaza. Go through the door on the left side to enter it and then follow the stairs up to the second floor. When you reach the second floor, look to the right side and there will be a shirt vendor where the intel is sitting.

Mission 11: Judgment Day

Intel Item 1

When you head up the large set of stairs and two machine gun jeeps appear, go to the right side and there will be a small building there labeled 27. Head inside after clearing it out and make your way up the stairs to find the intel on the second floor along the right side wall.

Intel Item 2

When you enter the broadcast room, you will get into a large scale battle. Clear out the room with the many computer consoles on the rising levels and make a right of the entrance. When you reach the top of the stairs, look for the intel on the console located on the third row down from the top and to the right side.

Intel Item 3

The final piece of intel can be found in a circular room after leaving the broadcast room and going through a large metal door that has blue stripes on the pillars in it. When you enter it, go to the right and you will see a mop bucket blocking a staircase. Go down that staircase and follow the walkway around the edge of the room. You will find the intel on a crate against the wall glowing in the darkness.
