Game changes
Customs: PMC and Scav extracts reworked, some old ones removed; new ZB-1013 and security post keys; locked containers now always hold loot.
Interchange: new loot spots; cash registers in the standalone ULTRA stores no longer need keys (Goshan, IDEA and OLI still do).
PvE: six Prestige levels, the first with lighter requirements; Prestige resets only the PvE Zone character.
PvE: PMC bots team up more often, attack Scavs and bosses more often, and their gear depends on their level; they now appear in the Labyrinth.
EXFIL Brothers programme: rewards for a newcomer and an experienced player who raid together.
