Reconnaissance Missions

Unlock requirement: Clear the 5th stage of any map other than Map 0 and Map 1.

Once unlocked, they can be accessed from any map (with the exception of Map 0 and 1) through the icon in the bottom left of the screen.

A reconnaissance (recon) mission consists of a set number of randomly selected stages. Each map has a small pool of enemy formations to pull from to populate each node. Clearing a stage rewards some parts, exp, and materials based on which map the recon is taking place in. Upon clearing all stages within a mission instance, you are rewarded a full clear reward in addition to the standard stage reward.

Each stage can also be searched upon completion. This rewards a Lv.1 Implant box and a random amount of Medals of Valor. Each search also has a low chance of rewarding additional implant boxes of Lv.1 or higher, Intelli-frame boxes, and a very rare chance of rewarding a single roll. Search rewards on more difficult maps tend to be of higher quality, with slightly increased medal rewards and higher chances to receive additional implant/frame boxes. It is currently unknown what effect selecting a DOLL has on rewards.

Enemy stats and general difficulty can vary greatly, with some early nodes being significantly harder than later nodes, but difficulty generally increases the farther into a recon you progress. The final node of a recon is designated the "boss" node, with enemy stats scaling up to reflect that. Because difficulty can swing depending on what enemy compositions show up, it is recommended that you are able to comfortably clear up to, at minimum, stage 6 of the map you are conducting the recon on. This is important when first arriving in the B maps, as using your daily high-grade recon run too soon can result in it being wasted due to being unable to fully clear the recon.

The wait time can be circumvented by consuming a Rapid Completion Permit. Additional recons can be conducted past the daily free entry by using a corresponding Recon Permit. A recon can be forfeited though the silver button (偵察中止） on the bottom left of the screen.
