Campaign Scoring and Challenges
Before jumping into the campaign, take a moment to review the Ghost score system as well as the various challenges that await. Understanding the Ghost score system will help you better understand what’s expected of an elite operative. The campaign and individual missions also feature a variety of challenges that allow you to unlock new weapons, attachments, and camouflage patterns.
Ghost Score
Do you have what it takes to be a Ghost? During the campaign’s missions, your team is awarded points for performing a variety of stealthy and skill-specific actions characterized by Ghost tactics. At the end of each mission, these points, along with the difficulty setting, are calculated to determine your Ghost score. The Ghost score is a percentage, ranging from 0 to 100 percent. See the accompanying table for a rundown of the various actions that earn you points.
Each mission has a predetermined max score representing the score that must be reached to obtain 100 percent in the mission. This max score is based on how many enemies can be killed silently during the mission, and what’s expected from you. At the end of the mission, your total points are added, then divided by the mission’s max score. This value is then multiplied by 100 to determine your final Ghost score. Here’s the formula: Ghost score = (Total Points / Mission Max Score) X 100

Challenges
During the course of the campaign, you can complete a variety of optional challenges to unlock new weapons and gear. There are four different types of challenges. Weapon challenges usually require you to perform a specific feat with a certain type of weapon. If you manage to complete a mission’s weapon challenge, you’re awarded with a new weapon. Tactical challenges are split up into three separate tasks. If you complete all three tasks within a tactical challenge, you’ll unlock a new weapon attachment. The Ghost challenges require you to complete a number of missions with a specific Ghost score, thereby unlocking new weapons and camouflage patterns. Finally, there’s the Elite challenge, which requires you to complete all missions on Elite difficulty to unlock the G106 Explosive grenade launcher. Before starting a mission, always take into account the challenges and select your gear accordingly.
