What is confirmed, and what is not
- ✅ "16 missions" and the reward order come from Activision's official post (read on Steam, 2026-10-30).
- ⚠️ Mission names and settings are cited, not official. We found no official mission-name list. Polygon and KeenGamer agree on all 16 names. KeenGamer's reward-to-mission mapping matches Activision's official reward order exactly.
- ⚠️ Spelling conflict on mission 11: Polygon and KeenGamer say "Defection", while Dexerto and upblazed say "Deflection". We use "Defection" (2 of 4 sources, and it fits the defector story).
- No story spoilers beyond mission names.
