Payout C Single-source / unverified
Bounties plus a chance of a faction/commander spawn. No structured drop data banked yet — wave and loot detail is exactly what the verified-on-camera tier exists to fill.
Escalations
No escalations currently mapped. That is a statement about the Atlas, not the site. Mapping escalation chains is ongoing original research.
