Unlock: Player Level 20
Rewards: Expedition Coins
Fuel Cells
Equipment Scrap
Stage-specific building materials

Team advice: Editorial advice: favor broad coverage, blockers, Slow, Stagger, and rewind because enemies approach a moving payload from several directions.
Progression priority: Editorial priority: begin at level 20 and reinvest early clears into the structures that address the current account bottleneck.

Confirmed live

Unlock: No level requirement reported in the July 20 guide
Rewards: Competitive leaderboard progression; the cited July 20 guide still lists exact rewards as TBA
Team advice: Editorial advice: match the current ruleset; long or Infinite leaderboards reward scaling, economy, and control more than short-stage burst alone.
Progression priority: Editorial priority: optional until Story progress and a stable six-Unit team are established; verify the live reward card before investing time.
