### 1. Mission Objectives & Loadout
Set in Verdansk under the shroud of darkness, Operation 627 initiates a high-stakes amphibious raid on the Zordaya Prison Complex.
- **Recommended Loadout:** Suppressed submachine gun with thermal sight, silenced secondary, smoke grenades, and night-vision goggles.
### 2. Phase 1: Stealth Amphibious Infiltration
- Submerge through the outer sea wall and surface silently at the cliff base.
- Rappel down into the exterior perimeter without activating patrol searchlights.
- Eliminate the two guard tower sentries simultaneously with silenced headshots.
### 3. Phase 2: Gulag Sub-Level Breach
- Descend the spiraling cell block catwalks.
- Riot-shield guards will charge down narrow hallways: utilize flashbangs or thermite charges to disorient them before finishing with flank fire.
- Breach the reinforced security door to free Prisoner 627.
### 4. Phase 3: Courtyard Makarov Exfiltration
- Escort the asset up into the main prison yard. Heavy mortar shells and enemy reinforcement choppers will saturate the grounds.
