The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 campaign is currently available in early access, and if you're among the many who pre-ordered a copy in order to play it before launch, you've likely noticed a locked difficulty setting that's harder, even, than Realism.
YOLO, which is short for you only live once, is a new difficulty tier introduced in Modern Warfare 4. It does exactly what you expect: gives you a single life to complete the entirety of the campaign. Die once and you're sent back to the start.
A few players have already cleared the Modern Warfare 4 campaign on YOLO, but one in particular took the time to answer a few questions and reveal some of their toughest moments in the campaign.
Reddit user Lost-Equivalent2352 shared a screenshot showing a completed campaign at YOLO difficulty, which they said took them 20 hours. Key to their strategy was, well, a lot of hiding and leaving AI teammates to kill as many enemies as possible, before emerging to finish the rest. They relied on flashbangs to momentarily stun enemies and make it easier to shoot them, but they also used a lot of grenades to clear clusters of enemies.
But that grenade strategy was difficult in one mission - a mission that depicts the chaos of a North Korean invasion of South Korea, and takes place at nighttime. The problem here is that civilians and other allies are spread across the battlefield, so throwing flashbangs and grenades risks damaging either group, ending the YOLO run.
