Requirements

• An active survivor rescue or Reclaimer quest
• Extraction access
• Capacity to return the required person or item

How to Check the Result

Confirm the named interface state, objective change, resource movement, roster change, or physical outcome described above. If the current build displays a different rule, keep the official page's broad system description but treat the live prompt as the current operational instruction. Do not substitute an old screenshot or an unlabeled third-party value for the active build.

Common Problems

• Problem: If a rescued NPC does not appear, confirm the objective completed and check current patch notes.
• Problem: Do not call every NPC a Reclaimer; verify the faction label.
• Problem: Exact survivor bonuses and reputation thresholds are not officially documented as of September 5, 2026.
