CoD DMZ solo | Intel Exchange | Key of room 403 and Building 21 USB

Complete the mission in two parts

Intel Exchange overview

USB can be placed without a key

If you don't have the hotel key 403, please complete the following two tasks first.

It will be easier later.

If you just read the description of this mission, you will understand that in order to collect the delivery intel and transport the Building 21 USB, you will not be able to complete it unless you have the key to hotel room 403.

However, in reality, you don't need a key if you just want to carry Building 21's USB.

This is because the installation instructions can be displayed even through the walls of the room.

First, we will show you the location of the dead drop in the waterway.

Dead Drop in the Ashika Island waterway

Dead drop location

There are three entrances to the underground waterway. (There is also a way to get down by rope from the huts scattered around Tsuki Castle)

Enter from the red arrow.

The dead drop is located at player ①'s position.

As you proceed through the underground waterway, you will come to an iron bridge illuminated by lights, but if you look down from there, you will see a space that looks like a hollow, and a dead drop is placed along the wall.

I have circled it in red.

I'll take a look with a spotter scope.

Once you reach the dead drop, take out the Building 21 USB from inside.

Eliminate enemies up to the dead drop

In my case, I took the method of defeating the enemies one by one from the entrance of the waterway.

There are also soldiers wearing armor, so it's important to kill them as unnoticed as possible, or don't make it more than one-on-one.

Therefore, it is useful to have a sniper rifle or a marksman rifle.

Underground waterways are dark and foggy, making visibility difficult.

If you replace your spotter scope with a thermal one, you can see the enemy first and defeat them without them noticing.

It may be better to use a thermal scope for the rifle.

It feels like you're playing a bit of a campaign until you reach the dead drop.

Unused room 403: F6 (Ashika Island)

The official name of hotel room 403 is [Unused Room 403].

It is located on the top floor of the hotel.

Even without a key, you can place a Building 21 USB stick in the hallway in front of the room, through the wall.

I don't know if this is a bug, but if it's not fixed, you can use it.

Extract the Al mazrah shipping intel.

In order to obtain the Al mazrah shipping intel needed to complete the first task, you need to obtain the key to room 403.

In my case, I aimed for the enemy to drop the key to room 403 by completing the HVT Elimination Contract. (Even if you don't take the contract, the key will drop if you defeat HVT)

There is [Al Mazrah's shipping intel] on the desk in the corner of room 403.

Once you get the item, you can escape.

In my case, I searched for the enemy using the UAV that had fallen in room 403 and confirmed that there were no enemies.

I would like to escape safely using Recon Drone or Personal Escape.

Ashika Island is a place where operator hunting is popular.

The mission may be thwarted due to operator hunting, but if you choose this mission and go out while collecting valuable items that can only be found on Ashika Island, such as cigar boxes and Ashika liquor, you can do well. 

If you go with the mindset that the mission is complete, you might feel a little better.
