Notes
  • Source-described recovery only; no recovery, dismissal or inventory transition was observed.
  • Current-build behavior, exact fees and personal Operator state remain unknown. No reset or dismissal action is performed by this site.

Understand the described options

The official guide says an eliminated Operator becomes MIA and cannot redeploy. Recovery uses Bank cash, preserves Traits and returns the Operator without gear. Dismissal is described as starting over with a new Operator.

Compare the menu before committing

This is a reference, not a recommendation to pay or dismiss. Check which Operator is selected, the displayed fee, available cash and the confirmation text. The recovery price formula, discounts and your current state are unknown here.

Prepare separately for another deployment

The return of an Operator should not be counted as an equipment grant. Use the preparation and acquisition references to consider a new loadout; a listed recipe or source does not establish that you own its inputs.
