Reported base quotes
Cash before discounts. ~ marks the remaining estimate, Steel II. The earlier observations span October 21–31, 2026. A November 7 follow-up reports Damascus II at 55,000, Onyx I at 75,000 and Onyx II at 85,000, replacing the previous estimates for those three rows. These are community-reported quotes, not an official tariff or a guarantee of the amount your Operator will be charged.

| Bronze | 8,000 | 10,000 | 13,000 |

Discounts and Prestige limits
Recovery Discount I was reported to reduce quotes by 5%. An estimate stays an estimate after applying a discount.
Prestige 3 tests matched Steel I to Bronze I, Steel II to Bronze II and Silver I to Gold I prices. This supports a three-rank offset in those tests, not a universal formula for later Prestige levels.
Higher-Prestige quotes can exceed the base table. One reported Onyx III, Prestige 3 example showed 237,500 Cash with an insufficient-funds warning; the reported context included a 5% discount. This is a quoted amount, not a completed rescue payment or a formula for other Prestige levels. Check the amount on your own rescue screen before budgeting for recovery.
Choose the recovery you need
Keep rescue money separate from the equipment budget: recovering an Operator does not replace the lost loadout. Compare the MIA recovery steps, Dog Tag progression and Operator Prestige before dismissing a developed Operator.
