FAQ

Q: Can I unlock all traits for an operator? A: No, you only get 18 trait points, which is enough to complete two of the three skill trees. You must choose which trees to prioritize.

Q: What happens if my operator dies in DMZ? A: You lose all progress with that operator, including traits. However, you can pay cash to rescue them, with the cost scaling to their level.

Q: Are traits shared between operators? A: No, traits are specific to each operator. Progress on one operator does not apply to others.
