Call of Duty: Ghosts Devastation Mayday Guide

This is a full guide to complete the Mayday Extinction aliens map.

Anchoring this second content pack is Episode 2: Mayday, the second installment in Extinction’s four-part episodic narrative driven by two new characters.

In Episode 2: Mayday, the Quick Reaction Force team is sent in to investigate a high-tech ghost ship adrift in the South Pacific. To deal with the insidious wall-crawling “Seeder” and skyscraper-sized monstrosity known as the “Kraken,” your team will need new tactics and new weapons.

Featuring two all-new species of aliens and an exclusive weapon called the Venom-X gun. Episode 2: Mayday is a fast & frenetic, action-packed continuation of the Extinction experience. This exciting new chapter comes packed with new weapon mods and paths to explore.

Watch the official Extinction: “Episode 2: Mayday” story introduction:

Here’s how to get started in Mayday:

Intro: Samantha Cross was taken from the Alaska research facility and now resides aboard a high-tech military ship in the Tasman Sea, South Pacific, looking for the aliens’ ark. Dozens of the ship’s crew are now reporting intense nightmares after the Beacon device was activated… Then suddenly the Cryptids attack the ship, we must find Dr. Cross and destroy the Kraken! — As such, the story takes off 26 days after Nightfall Program Termination and you play as a Rapid Reaction Force: CIF Team-1 member.

Tip: Get a good team together of players you can rely on to revive and support you. Good team work is the key to success in Extinction mode. — Still looking for other co-op players?

Gas Room Tutorial Guide:

This green gas stage can be extremely difficult if your team is unreliable.

How To Defeat The Kraken Final Boss Fight:

Tip: Here’s a strategy to kill the Kraken in Mayday. First focus on the aliens around him. Next he’ll cover the platform in red mist, so move to the safe middle. Then keep shooting his glowing eye, and take cover whenever he roars. Use the mini-guns on the side (if you’ve got cover from a teammate) to take both the aliens and the Kraken out.

In this video we see The Giant for the first time and the Balls Pyramid, the Australian mega-hive.

Here are all the steps to take to finish the Mayday easter egg puzzle:

These next videos will give a step-by-step playthrough of the sequence of events you’ll need to complete to finish the puzzle.

STEP 1: To complete the “Egg-stra Devastation!” Challenge on all 5 Devastation Maps, you must play in a public match to make a literal easter egg appear in each of the Ruins, Collision, Behemoth & Unearthed Multiplayer Maps. Shoot at all 4 easter eggs when you find their nests. — The egg nest locations are shown in the video guide below.

STEP 2: Then go to an Extinction Mode Map (like Mayday) to destroy a hive and you’ll receive 10,000 XP as a reward!

Challenges Note: To finish all challenges on the Mayday map, we’ll soon have a “Call of Duty: Ghosts Devastation Mayday Completionist Guide” if you’re looking to unlock that specific achievement / trophy.
