The big picture of unlocking a CMP 170HX, in plain words. The steps themselves live on the wiki, where they can be checked and corrected.
What unlocking means here
A short explanation of what is limited on these cards out of the box and what the community has opened up so far, written once the unlock pages on the wiki are in. No steps on this page.
