The players start down at the bottom of the rig. Some choice of weapons will lay in front of them. The only way to go is up the staircase. The first room of hostages will lie in front with two possible doors to breach. After this room has been cleared, the player must fight his way up the oil rig to the second room of hostages. The mission will finish after this room is cleared. The player is not allowed to kill any hostages, nor being executed by the enemies.
If the player is to wait after they rescues the first group of hostages and watch them they'll simply get up and run over to the start and sit there, still blindfolded.
When playing Wetwork in co-op mode, the character models have British flags on their sleeves, however both characters speak with American accents.
Wetwork is the only Echo Special Ops mission not to have Juggernauts in it.
If one looks through the window before breaching the first room it appears empty but once the Breaching Charge is placed, voices are heard and enemies appear.
This is the only Echo operation that is categorised as "Assault".
