  "note": "Distribution Centers (DCs) shipped with Alpha 3.23 (May 2024) and have been iterated through 4.8. 13 confirmed DCs in Stanton across Hurston (6) and microTech (7). Mission flow + keycard mechanics shift each patch — confirm at the lobby before committing a long route.",
  "overview": {
    "summary": "Distribution Centers are CIG's flagship FPS playground — massive multi-wing facilities scattered across Hurston and microTech that double as cargo hubs, FPS dungeons, and the primary in-world source for top-tier armor sets (Palatino, Artimex, Inquisitor) plus operator-branded variants of the G-2, CBH-3, ORC-mkV, PAB-1 and Strata armor lines. The site's owner dictates whether you walk in the front door (Covalex, Sakura Sun) or fight your way past Hurston Security NPCs and turrets (HDPC, Dupree, Greycat, Cry-Astro).",
    "vendor": {
      "name": "Contract Manager (mobiGlas)",
      "where": "Mission Manager — most DC contracts surface under Mercenary, Security, or Cargo tabs depending on hostility tier.",
      "lore": "DCs are operator-owned warehouses tied to the Stanton supply chain. Mercenary contracts target hostile DCs; lawful security contracts defend non-hostile ones; cargo hauling missions use any DC as a delivery node."
    },
    "loop": [
      "Open the in-game map → Saved Locations → search the operator name (e.g. 'Sakura', 'HDPC', 'Dupree') to find every DC by hostility tier.",
      "Pick a hostility profile — non-hostile (Covalex / Sakura Sun) for solo runs with no crime stat, or hostile (HDPC / Dupree / Greycat / Cry-Astro) for orange-crate Palatino farming.",
      "Quantum to the DC, land in the outer wing landing pad, ride the freight elevator up to the lobby atrium.",
      "Sweep the two main wings — each wing mirrors the other, so the loot pattern repeats on the opposite side.",
      "Hit the security checkpoint to access internal elevators (locked doors — bring keycards looted from security NPCs).",
      "Top floor: VIP rooms above the entry elevators — single Palatino crate spawns between them.",
      "Optional: check vents + maintenance hatches for secret rooms — high-tier sniper / rocket / medium armor stashes.",
      "Extract via the same wing you came in from, or hot-swap to the opposite wing if a server-mate is on yours."
    ],
    "tips": [
      "DCs are LEFT/RIGHT MIRRORED — master one wing, you've mastered both. Drop a beacon on landing so you can swap sides without getting lost.",
      "Type 'Sakura' in the map search to instantly flag every non-hostile DC — perfect for new players who want loot without armistice violations.",
      "Vehicles can be brought to the OUTER wings but force fields block driving inside. Park a ground vehicle for loot ferry runs.",
      "Bring a tractor beam (multi-tool attachment) — Palatino crates are large orange chests that need lifting onto a backpack or cargo grid.",
      "DC turrets are currently bugged and rarely fire — but the crime stat for disabling outer comm arrays DOES stick. Manage carefully.",
      "Close doors behind you for safety buffers — server-mates will path through open doors and contest your loot run.",
      "Get in, secure ONE strong armor set + one weapon, extract. Full-clears on a contested server lose more than they win."
