* '''Stronger squads haul more''' — loot scales with your squad's power against the mission's difficulty, up to '''×2'''. The picker shows this '''💪 haul multiplier''' next to the success chance, so veterans (see [[Stable#Veteran levels|veteran levels]]) and geared dinos pay off.
* '''Stronger squads haul more''' — loot scales with your squad's power against the mission's difficulty, up to '''×2'''. The picker shows this '''{{Icon|ui-power}} haul multiplier''' next to the success chance, so veterans (see [[Stable#Veteran levels|veteran levels]]) and geared dinos pay off.
* '''Frontier find''' — every mission also carries a shot at an item from '''beyond your current gathering level''' (its own column below). Dispatch is often the earliest way to see the next tier's materials.

* '''Failure never zeroes a run''' — a failed mission still brings home half the guaranteed haul, so a dispatch is never a total loss. The rare rolls (the frontier find and other chance drops) are '''lost in the retreat''', and the squad report shows exactly what got away.

* '''Squad-returned reports''' — when a squad comes back it files a '''📦 report''' here listing the mission, its outcome, and exactly what it brought home. Reports persist (even across reloads) until you dismiss them, so a mission that finished while you were away is never missed.
* '''Squad-returned reports''' — when a squad comes back it files a '''{{Icon|glyph-crate}} report''' here listing the mission, its outcome, and exactly what it brought home. Reports persist (even across reloads) until you dismiss them, so a mission that finished while you were away is never missed.
* '''Missions now train your dinos''' (v0.36.9) — every squad member earns [[Stable#Veteran levels|veteran XP]] for the run (half on a failed mission), and the mission also feeds your [[Taming]] skill. Dispatch is no longer just for loot.

These three late missions were added in v0.36.9 for endgame squads. '''Vale Vigil''' is the only repeatable source of the '''Primal Catalyst''' breeding crate outside the Mark Exchange.


Percentages show the drop chance for that item; items without a percentage are guaranteed. The '''frontier find''' is an above-tier material you likely can't gather yourself yet — on a failed run it's lost in the retreat.
