DMZ Updates
Possum Trait Changes
The Possum Trait is intended to give high-level Operators a second chance at survival. However, it was being used as a combat mechanic rather than a survival mechanic.
Players can no longer activate Possum while the team that killed them is nearby.
Players must wait four minutes before activating Possum when the required conditions are not met.
The developers will continue monitoring the trait and may adjust its range and duration in future updates.

Fixed an issue where players could encounter a black screen after their entire squad was eliminated while a teammate had the Possum Perk equipped.

Closed several exploits in DMZ.
Fixed an issue where weapons could unintentionally drop when moved from the Primary Weapon slot to the Backpack.
Fixed an issue where players were not receiving the 3-Plate Armor Vest reward upon reaching DMZ Level 37.
