Remove only low-tier bandits, keeping challenge from elite types.

Option 2: Partial Clearing

gm.bandit.clear_hideouts all
gm.bandit.destroy_bandit_parties all 30

Clear hideouts and most parties, but leave some for gameplay.

Option 3: Complete Removal

gm.bandit.remove_all confirm

Only use when you truly want NO bandit presence.
