Since the November 10, 2026 update, UAVs and Advanced UAVs can no longer be deployed in X01, and DMZ now pays a Scavenger Bonus in cash (based on loot value and deployment time) when you fail to exfil. Two changes that pull in opposite directions: X01 gets harder to read, but failure costs less. How does it feel in your raids?

Questions for you:
- Without UAVs in X01, do you play slower and quieter, or do you rely more on other intel (Mini Tracker, sound, squad callouts)?
- Was UAV spam in X01 really a problem in your lobbies, or did the earlier range/duration nerf already fix it?
- Scavenger Bonus: does getting cash after a failed exfil make you take more risks in the Deep Vault, or does it just reward rushing in for loot?
- Have you checked how much the bonus actually pays? Share your loot value, deployment time and the amount if you noted them.
- Solo players: does this update make X01 more playable on your own, or less?
- Multiplayer side: do you feel the ADS sensitivity change on controller or mouse?
Please say your platform (PS5, Xbox, PC) and whether you play solo or in a squad.
