MIA Operator recovery

An eliminated Operator can become MIA; recovery preserves traits but does not restore lost equipment.

Good to know

  • "Rescuing an Operator reinstates the Traits Purchased, any Unspent Trait Points, and the Dog Tag Rank of that Operator. The majority of the Operator's Loadout will be lost." Shown price: Rescue for $50 (Steel-rank Operator).
  • Recovered Operators return without their gear. The more Trait Points an Operator has, the more the rescue costs.
