What changed

The DMZ changes from each game update, newest first, in plain words.

1. 6Nov 2026

   Season 1 update

   • Thermal Padding, Thermal Padding Pro and the Sedative Inhaler now also hide you from UAV Towers upgraded with UAV Upgrade. The AUAV still finds you.
   • The Upper Class order now counts Hajin Story Missions.

   Season 1

   • X01 Black Site opens: an underground Exclusion Zone with its own exfils, Orders and bosses.
   • Possum: the lockout radius is 2.5 times larger and the failsafe timer is 5 minutes (was 4).
   • Supplied Drops: a 50% chance of an extra container (was 25%), Dynamic Operations crates included.
   • Free Prep now gives a random consumable as intended.
   • Fewer batteries in banks, and a Threat Briefing event around the Battle Tank.

   Hotfix

   • UAV Towers: no longer one in every area, never two in the same spot, about 40% fewer overall (Deadtown keeps its tower for DMZ Orders).
