H'okay, there is still much confusion as to how collars work. Apparently people are under the impression that you need to enter a bunker every two days, but it's only once every four days. Lemme break it down:
The collar clocks started on Sunday, right? The very first deadline is 11:59 PM on Wednesday, PST. I'm using 11:59 so I don't confuse anybody or myself. At 11:59 PM on Wednesday, the clocks go off. You need to enter a bunker one time before 11:59 on Wednesday in order to be safe. It doesn't matter whether you enter the bunker on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, so long as it is before Wednesday at 11:59 PM. If you successfully enter a bunker before 11:59 PM on Wednesday, you will be safe until the next timer goes off, which is at 11:59 PM on Sunday. Therefore, after 11:59 PM on Wednesday, you will need to enter a bunker once before 11:59 PM on Sunday. If you successfully do so, you will be safe until the next timer goes off. See the pattern? Once every four days.
A Combat Day can happen at any time, so it is advisable to enter a bunker at least 48 hours before a timer goes off, because if you do not, you will be stuck in a Stasis Field and dusted.
