  • Opening daily faction missions

  • Unlocking recipes for exchange
  • Providing a discount on some items

  • Opening slots for insured weapons
  • Reducing the cooldown of insured weapon slots
  • Increasing the number of slots for smuggled weapons
  • Increasing the number of slots for keys and storyline items
