| <p>T1: Macro-Sense</p><p><br><br></p>    | Provides global, generalized, and low-latency baseline information.                                          | <p>• Combat Briefing: Total number of remaining squads in the match.</p><p><br></p><p>• Wealth Report: Total value of unlooted collectibles remaining on the map.</p><p><br></p><p>• Tactical Forecast: Alerts for upcoming random events (e.g., sandstorms, signal interference).</p>                                                                                 | Low & Fixed: Designed to provide all players with basic situational awareness.                       |
| <p>T2: Zone-Scan</p><p><br><br></p>      | Provides more specific but slightly generalized data for a designated map sector (e.g., Sector A, Sector B). | <p>• Sector Security Assessment: Evaluates player combat or movement signals in the last 60s (Safe / Low / Medium / High Risk).</p><p><br></p><p>• Resource Survey: Estimates value of unsearched loot in a sector (Barren / Common / Rich / Extreme).</p><p><br></p><p>• NPC Activity Report: Elite NPC status in the sector (Undetected / Patrolling / Engaged).</p> | Mid-tier & Dynamic: Prices fluctuate based on sector "heat" (e.g., recent combat activity).          |

### Rules

* Refresh Interval: Players can refresh the intelligence leads every 2 minutes.
* Dynamic Pricing: The cost of intelligence increases as the match duration progresses.
* Payment: Premium intelligence currently requires Diamonds (exclusive to EKKO ALPHA test). In the future, Mirble will be required for intel purchases.
