Version 1.0 / 1.0.1 series · Updated September 29, 2026

YAZS Camp Missions and Corrected Objectives

For a missing story task, open the Camp and check the Briefing Room and Mission Log. For an objective that seems wrong, compare the named task with the corrections below before starting another run. For Black Box or Antithesis progress, start with the recent mission fixes. Use the Ragged Patch steps for its story task and the Team Bond explanation for end-of-run rewards. This guide does not cover all 79 mission routes.

Five Task Details That Changed in 1.0.1

These corrections come from the developer's September 9, 2026 notes. Platform updates were to follow as soon as possible; confirm your installed version before expecting the revised conditions.

Scroll the table sideways to read all columns.

TaskCorrection in 1.0.1What to do differently
Ranger: SeedingAny difficulty, formerly II or above.Do not select a harder difficulty solely for the old requirement.
SWAT repeatable mission5 SOS Signal Liberations, formerly 6.Count Liberations, not the number of Survivors in your active squad.
Ghost: Compilation3 SOS Signal Liberations, formerly 5.Track the SOS objective; the number is not a boss or weapon total.
Tank: Criminal ContemptThe tooltip should say 30 Bosses, not 30 Elites.Do not farm ordinary Elites to satisfy the incorrect old wording.
Pyro repeatable missionKatana Splash no longer counts incorrectly as tier 3.For an assignment that forbids tier-3 weapons, do not choose a final-tier upgrade. The developer confirmed the incorrect Ghost tier classification; 1.0.1 fixes Katana Splash. Check your assigned objective, not just the repeatable mission name. See weapon upgrade gates.

The same patch increases main-story offers and adds rising odds when a required mission item fails to appear on a roll. It does not publish a guaranteed number of rolls.

Black Box or Antithesis Progress Did Not Register

Two later fixes address specific completion problems. The developer's September hotfix announcements (external) distinguish them:

  1. Prologos: Black Box came from Easter Egg. The 1.0.1b note says that this acquisition now counts for the mission. Record how you obtained the item before treating a failed attempt as an ordinary chest-drop problem. This fix is not a promise of a guaranteed Black Box roll.
  2. Mechanic: Antithesis stopped showing complete. The 1.0.1a note addresses completion not persisting after both conditions were met. Record both objective results and the point at which the completion state changed; that is more useful than recording only the final failure screen.

Before another attempt: compare your installed version with the relevant fix, then recheck the active mission card. If the same symptom continues on an applicable version, include the mission name, platform, version, objective screenshots and acquisition method in F8 feedback. Neither announcement promises retroactive completion or establishes a universal workaround. These two cases do not explain every failed mission.

For an item that has not appeared at all, distinguish that from a completion counter: the Ragged Patch example below explains mission-item rolls, while the hotfix comparison keeps other symptoms separate.

How to Get Ragged Patch for the Story Mission

Ragged Patch can appear in Item Chests while its mission is active. You do not need to permanently unlock it first. The developer identifies it as the item required by Story-7 in an August 26 answer; a separate September 4 player discussion reports receiving it and resolving the apparent unlock loop.

  1. Accept the mission first. Read its brief and check that the active objective asks for Ragged Patch. A translation may describe it as a cloth piece.
  2. Open Item Chests during the attempt. Take Ragged Patch when offered and keep it in your inventory for the objective. Its permanent unlock listing is not a prerequisite for this temporary mission drop.
  3. Finish the assigned survival objective. The player report describes The Growth requiring the item and 20 minutes of survival. Follow the time and mode on your own mission card rather than assuming every item mission is identical.
  4. If it has not appeared, keep checking chests. The official 1.0.1 patch increases the chance after unsuccessful mission-item rolls; it does not promise a drop in a specific chest. Check the installed version before relying on that change.

The reported completion unlocks the item for later runs. This explains the acquisition loop; an exact current stat bonus for Ragged Patch is not established by these sources.

Jailbroken Phone: Check Item Chests, Not a Ground Marker

For the mission asking you to find Jailbroken Phone, look for it among the Item Chest choices. In the August 21–23 player discussion (external), Hispanic! at the Disco reported finding it as an item choice after three attempts; WordCobbler and SmokeYaSs separately reported chest or item-pool appearances after unlocking it. These reports distinguish the collectible item from an apparent phone marker on the ground.

  1. Check the active assignment before starting. Follow the mission card's required setup; searching for the item is different from having its permanent unlock already completed.
  2. Open Item Chests and inspect their choices. A phone-shaped object on the map is not evidence that Jailbroken Phone has entered your inventory. Check the item name in the selection and your inventory.
  3. Keep any finish condition on the mission card. If it asks you to finish with the item, do not swap it out before the result screen. Finding a choice and completing the mission are separate checks.

No offer yet? The 1.0.1 mission-item change increases the chance after unsuccessful rolls for the current mission. It does not promise a particular chest or a fixed number of attempts. If the inventory and objective disagree, use the version and mission details in the progress checks above when reporting the problem.

From Camp to the Next Attempt

  1. Find the objective. Visit the Briefing Room after a run. If the narrative has become hard to follow, open the Mission Log to review the story and incomplete quests.
  2. Resolve the gate before assembling a loadout. Use the Log to identify any required map or mode. Bio Lab, Boss Rush, and Infinite have different gates; use the table below rather than treating them as one progression unlock.
  3. Choose one task for this attempt. For example, a corrected SOS mission is a liberation task; a Boss-count task needs Boss kills. Do not build around a similarly worded damage achievement.
  4. Review the result in the Log. If the task remains incomplete, compare its named target, map, and mode with the run you just completed. The official release notes describe manual retries for unfinished quests.

What the 79-Mission Total Means

Version 1.0 contains 15 Main Story missions, 45 personal missions across nine Survivor questlines, and 19 repeatable missions. Each Survivor has five personal missions; 45 is not the number of questlines. Missions also develop Team Bond, which improves end-of-run Cash and Specialization gains.

The system and map gates above are documented in the official full-release notes; this independent progression overview provides additional Camp context. Exact individual rewards and all 79 task routes are not supplied here.

Friendship Is Now Called Team Bond

The official 1.0.0c hotfix renamed Friendship to Team Bond. It is a shared total bonus to Cash and Specialization Points gained by the whole team, rather than a separate bonus applied only to one Survivor.

  1. Complete Camp missions as you progress the team.
  2. After a run, open the second results screen and inspect the Team Bond tooltip for the explanation of your bonus.
  3. If you are comparing older results, note that 1.0.0c2 fixed mission and Team Bond bonuses not being properly applied to Specialization Points. Check the installed version before using an old total as a baseline.
