Over the years, players have become attached to certain Call of Duty characters. Soap, Ghost, & Captain Price are among the franchise’s most popular, which is why they are featured in almost every COD release. But, with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the least popular characters like Kate Laswell have stepped into the spotlight, gaining more attention. And fans that want to learn a little more about these characters can collect Intel Fragments scattered across different Spec Ops missions.
Here’s the location of all 20 Intel fragments in Denied Area. Players that find 20 Intel Fragments will be rewarded with a trophy/achievement. Furthermore, finding all 50 Intel Fragments will reward players with a calling card, emblem, & weapon skin.
While there isn’t any time limit, there are certain checkpoints in the mission. Once these checkpoints are reached, players are unable to return to certain areas. So, players should make sure they collect each Intel Fragment before completing the mission targets.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 1/20
Several Intel Fragments can only be found by using a Geiger Counter, so players will need to get (& keep) the Geiger Counter located on top of a cement block next to the small shack at the start of the mission. Once obtained, players will need to use it to find the first Intel Fragment (a crate). Players will know they are very close to it once the Geiger Counter reaches 9.00+.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 2/20
The second Audio Log Intel Fragment players can collect is located to the left of the S.A.M Target Site A. Players will find it on top of a wooden chair.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 3/20
The third Intel Fragment is found on top of a table under a tent within the S.A.M Target Site A area. There are two possible spawn locations, both of which are on a table under a tent within this area.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 4/20
Now players should complete their current mission objective & locate a vehicle to reach the next Intel Fragment. The fourth Intel Fragment (a blue folder) will be inside the largest house on the right side of the road (marked on the map). Players will find it on a table in the dining room on the first floor.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 5/20
The fifth Intel Fragment (a blue folder) will be located inside a large building with a tower on the same side of the road as the previous one. The Intel Fragment can be found on a bedside table in a room with several hospital beds.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 6/20
The next Intel Fragment is found at the top of the tower of the same building. Players can find the ladder that leads up to it at the side of the building. Players will also find a Victus XMR Sniper Rifle in this area, which is one of the best guns players can use in the campaign.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 7/20
Players must push forward from this area until they reach a large building (marked on the map) with several lootable Rocket Launchers & an Ammo Refill station. Players should go inside this building, head to the second floor, & go into the first room they see to the right. Players will find the seventh Intel Fragment on top of a red toolbox.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 8/20
The eighth Intel Fragment is found in the building directly to the right of the building with the Ammo Refill Station (if the player is facing the Ammo Refill Station). It’s located on the second floor, in front of a TV.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 9/20
Players can continue down the road until they reach a forked section (one side leads to D & the other to B/C) with several buildings in the middle. Players should head to the building located in the middle & head up to the second floor, where they’ll find the ninth Intel Fragment next to a TV.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 10/20
The following Intel Fragments will be located within the S.A.M Target Site D, but this area has a Grenade Turret guarding it (a common feature in the Spec Ops missions). So, players should focus on disabling it before attempting to collect any Intel Fragments since a couple of hits can instantly down a player. Players can find the tenth Intel Fragment (USB Stick) plugged into a laptop near the S.A.M Turret.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 11/20
The eleventh Intel Fragment players can collect is located in a building next to a cargo truck (still within the S.A.M Target Site D area). Players should head to the second floor, where they’ll find an open drawer with a blue folder Intel Fragment.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 12/20
Next to the previous building, players will find a small patch of l&. In this area, players will need to use the Geiger Counter to locate the twelfth Intel Fragment (in the form of a crate).
Denied Area Intel Fragment 13/20
There are two possible spawn locations for the thirteenth Intel Fragment. One (Audio Log) is located on top of a table in a tiny shack near S.A.M Target Site D, while the other (USB Stick) is located within the S.A.M Target Site C area in a tiny shack with two laptops. If the Intel Fragment is located in the S.A.M Target Site C area, players can wait to collect it since there are other Intel Fragments in that area.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 14/20
Players can complete the S.A.M Target Site D objective & drive south toward an area with five buildings. The fourteenth Intel Fragment is located on the roof of a building (marked on the map). There are no ladders to reach the roof, so players will need to jump onto a nearby water tank to reach the top.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 15/20
Players should head toward the area marked on the map since this is where the fifteenth Intel Fragment is located. But, to find it, players will need to use the Geiger Counter.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 16/20
The sixteenth Intel Fragment is located in the middle of a wooded area between S.A.M Target Site D & S.A.M Target Site C. Once in this area, players must use the Geiger Counter to locate the crate Intel Fragment.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 17/20
Now players can head to S.A.M Target Site C, where they’ll find several Intel Fragments (including the thirteenth one if they didn’t find it yet). But before even thinking of collecting them, players must take down an enemy Juggernaut, which is a much tougher enemy to fight than an armored enemy unit. Players can find the seventeenth Intel Fragment next to a Cargo Truck that’s parked in a shack.
Denied Area Intel Fragment 18/20
