Call of Duty: Ghosts extinction guide

The Cabin

Before going through the newly opened area, enter the passage across from it, along the stone wall, that takes you to the cellar of the building there. In here you will find a laptop against the far wall that you can use to call in an attack chopper to help you. It costs $6000 for it and each player can contribute to it, but for now, only drop $5000 into the laptop.

Exit out of the basement and go through the space where the hive was that you just dealt with and head for the hive that is atop the plateau. Continue fighting and protecting the drill as usually and don’t stop moving until you get the all clear. Once you do, you will have one final hive left to deal with which is arguably the toughest, given your position. Stock up on all the ammo and armor that you can and set the drill in motion.

Prepare for a long defensive position as this drill time is 5 minutes compared to the rest of the non-barrier hives that are 3 minutes or under. Now a huge swarm of enemies will appear of all varieties, although it’s mainly the scorpions that will make life difficult for you with their acid. Make sure you keep an eye on the drill and your team mates as failing the mission at this point would be heartbreaking.

Keep the enemies in your sights; use all you have—turrets, ammo, and armor— restocking every chance you get. There are more than enough enemies to keep your money supply up and not have to worry about running out. Once the hive is finally drilled through, you will notice there is a little something there behind it.
