Loot & Reward

Keycard-door loot respawns every 30 minutes — far faster than open crates, so a puzzle you can reach is renewable income.

The classic climb-for-loot route up the Dome still exists and needs no card — the puzzle is the new addition.
The Dome is now a top diesel source thanks to the Oct 2025 changes.
