The following article/section contains spoilers.

The Corpus embody the cold vacuum of space - heartless and bent on taking anything left unprotected. Driven by profits, the Corpus Board’s small numbers are supplemented by their legion of robot proxies, optimized for quick and efficient destruction.

The Corpus are a merchant cult, built on the foundation of salvaged technology and robotics. They scavenge the outer systems, greedy for the Old War salvage. Their most sought after of all - the Tenno and their WARFRAME armor. Those captured are treated as salvage; meticulously dissected, integrated. The remains are sold to the highest bidder.
—In-game Lore Description

The Corpus (      Corpus OCorpus RCorpus PCorpus UCorpus S), also known as the Taxmen by the Solari, are a conglomeration of plutocratic commercial and industrial interests unified by a single trade language and a common goal - the pursuit of wealth and Profit through the development and sale of advanced technologies and through the rediscovery of lost artifacts from the Orokin Era, including Warframes themselves and Sentients. They are the second enemy faction encountered by the player. Their arsenal is a potent mix of energy weapons and robotic troops. Many Tenno have made the mistake of firing at a Corpus Crewman's head only to have the bullet deflected, and many more have fallen to the close-in charge of a MOA's plasma barrage.

Overview[]

Lore & History[]

Origins[]

Main article: Fragments/The Tenets
"We are desire. We are Corpus."
Parvos Granum, the Corpus founder

The Corpus were founded by Parvos Granum, the son of a humble family of farmers who lived during the Orokin Era. Enraged by the huge disparity between his masters and the ones who worked under them and believing that anyone, no matter their social status, had the right to set off on their quest for profit, Parvos began a journey to follow his desires. After stealing from the Orokin and obtaining a financial loan, he loaned parts of his newfound wealth to others. With each new investment or associate, he spread his philosophy of the evils of contentment and idleness as well the gift of Desire, while his partners themselves went on to further loan their money to others and spread his teachings, gathering more followers with each transaction, in what amounts to a pyramid loan-sharking scheme. Convincing his fellow farmers to follow his new doctrine, Parvos Granum erected the city of Corposium, where even the smallest of men would be welcome to apply his wit and desire to attempt to make his own wealth, and became the leader of the Corpus Board of Directors of the newly founded Corpus.

Lust was my sin. But greed is the blight that weakens our steel. These industrialists have gorged on the harvest of our long war. Their mind drones; Their mechanizations, toil in foundries remote. For what purpose? We must set watch upon them. Baiting our snares with the worms of profit.

Those kneeling at the altar of commerce will be returned... to the Void.

At first the Orokin accepted the Corpus (see the Detron Crewman Synthesis Imprint) and during the Old War, even gave Granum a ProteaIcon272 Warframe bodyguard as part of some unspecified deal.

Later the Orokin became distrustful of the Corpus. Parvos Granum himself stoked the discord, prompting the Orokin to send a Warframe assault team to the laboratory where Granum's Archimedians were developing Specter technology. Granum, however, had planted an eighty mega-therm warhead in the lab, which he detonated destroying the laboratory and the assault team with it.

Granum's reasons for bringing the Corpus into direct conflict with the Orokin are unclear, but the Orokin condemned the Corpus as a merchant cult.

The biggest threat to Parvos, however, came from the Board itself, where jealousy sprouted. A Board member betrayed Parvos and dispatched assassins to sabotage his transport's Void drive, causing everyone to believe that the Founder was gone for good.

Present-Day[]

After the fall of the Orokin Empire, the Corpus sought to take over what was left of the Origin System, with its upper echelons claiming to have Orokin blood, frequently coming into conflict with the Grineer. An external observer might believe the Corpus to be a united organization, but that is far from the truth. The Board is constantly plagued by infights and discord, with the Tenno often forced to take a side in order not to let a Board member obtain too much power and influence.

"No accident their hoods look like this. Built-in voice modulator does the rest. Just another robot to the Corpus."

Aside from the lack of strong central leadership, the Corpus became very different from how Parvos Granum envisioned them to be: the most influential members rely on the labor of others, growing self-indulgent and lazy. The Crewmen are brainwashed since their birth in order to worship Profit and money (and Parvos Granum himself as an almost mythical figure), while any sign of personality and individuality is erased by their helmets, which turn their voices into a robotic sound, making them barely distiguishable from their proxies.

Despite being more technologically advanced than the Grineer, the Taxmen employ many of the same attrition and ambush tactics of the Grineer; however, they supplement these with automated 'security proxies' such as MOAs and Ospreys, and very advanced security systems. In addition, their experimentation and integration of Orokin and Warframe technology have allowed them to create highly dangerous robotic creatures such as Alad V's Zanuka proxy, which can easily capture unwary Tenno.

MOAs are bipedal turrets, some of which carry rapidly firing plasma guns or high-power railguns. Rather than taking cover, which would be impractical given the in-line mounting of their weapons, these screeching killers will simply close the distance, continuously laying out a barrage of fire whilst letting their shields take the brunt of the beating. Fortunately, their personal defense shielding is relatively fragile, as is their physical frame. Some facilities have also scanners at doors, activating various traps and hazards should a Tenno pass unknowingly over them.

The strongest Corpus units are the ones creating by merging together Corpus and Sentient technology: in the Orb Vallis a gigantic, seemingly invincible combat platform was created by recreating the same form of adaptation to damage the Sentients have, while on Jupiter Corpus Crewmen and proxies have been fused with Tau technology to create Amalgams, with the specific purpose of creating units capable of facing even the Tenno.

Tech and Weaponry[]

Main article: Category:Corpus Weapons

The Corpus are one of the most prolific creators of weapons in the Warframe universe, selling enormous amounts of weaponry and munitions even to the Grineer themselves. Whereas Tenno weapons trend towards the ritualized and symbolic and Grineer weapons are simple and industrial, the Corpus combine economy, market variety, and advanced technologies; their weapons range from simple stun rods and basic energy assault rifles, to self defense weapons based on ancient designs, and powerful energy sniper rifles and energy machine guns. The Corpus often design many exotic weapons to cater to a niche market or role: Ingenious R&D teams have created miniature swarm missile launchers, chaining arc weapons, shattering crystal shotguns, freezing beam guns, bows with implosive arrows, wrist-mounted sidearm, and even a portable laser cannon. The Corpus manufacture many power tools and some of them, beam, laser, or mining and blasting cutters, found their way into the Corpus arsenal, perhaps by their manufacturers, or perhaps by rebels.

Corpus-made weapons designed purely for export are traditionally low in quality, but are both cheap and accessible, while their more powerful weapons are often only made exclusive to themselves.

Corpus weapons tend to be compact in appearance, with a focus on geometric block-like shapes, right angles, small components, and a general disregard for the operator's ergonomics. This points to a design process that is largely—if not fully—automated, putting the emphasis on making a weapon that is economic to create and operates reliably instead of comfortably.

A majority of Corpus weapons aim towards dealing with highly armored targets, which are common among the Grineer, as evidenced by Corpus weapons' typically high DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture damage.

Within the Enrichment labs at the Orb Vallis on Venus, the R&D teams under Nef Anyo's Director has made weapons integrated with Sentient technology, such as the Ocucor Ocucor or the Battacor Battacor through salvaged Sentient bodies or fragments and bringing them for testing to make sure the results are perfect for carrying to combat.

The Corpus R&D teams stationed on Jupiter under Alad V command have created weapons amalgamated with Tau tech such as high-capacity bi-modal sniper weapons and homing ricochet sidearms.

Old research of Parvos Granum regarding the Specter Particle Theory were not abandoned: a glaive capable of being charged Specter particles is proof of how Corpus truly try to develop technologies to face any kind of threat.

Language[]

Main article: Corpus Language

The Corpus Language uses a set of Roman-number-like alphabets and grammar that is largely similar to conventional English. The language is spoken by Crewmen type enemies and its writing can be seen around Corpus Tilesets.

Corpus as a whole mainly speak normal English, however, their helmets contain built-in vocal modulators, which cause their voice and any words spoken sound garbled and scrambled.[1] These helmets also provide protection and identity-masking requirements.

Corpus Divisions[]

Similarly to the Grineer, the Corpus are divided into divisions depending on their location and purpose. It is worth noting however that differences between these divisions can be very notable, with units who behave very differently despite having the same classification. A noteworthy example is the Nullifier Crewman: while the normal version is a sniper unit who attacks from distance, its Vapos counterpart is a melee fighter who rushes against the enemy. It is very important to remember these differences in order not to be caught unprepared and overwhelmed while facing a mission.

Some units are also unique to a specific division, such as the Juno MOAs or the Vapos Rangers.

Enemies[]

Crewmen[]

The basic infantry of the Corpus, Crewmen are light armored units who can use a wide range of different weapons. A Crewman's head is their weak point but is also very well armored. When being shot in the head, their helmets will detach.

CrewmanNormal
Main article: Crewman

The basic Corpus Crewman wields a Dera Dera rifle, and wears a light brown suit. These Crewmen are weak and easy to kill when encountered in small groups, but in numbers, they can easily bring down a Tenno with combined fire. The Dera weapon used by this crewman is significantly weaker than the Dera available to Tenno. They are the Corpus equivalent of the Lancer.

CrewmanShotgun
Main article: Detron Crewman

The Detron Crewman is a Crewman that wields a DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture-based Detron Detron shotgun and wears a grey-white suit. These shotgun-wielders are mainly encountered on Corpus-controlled nodes. They behave similarly to standard Crewmen, but deal much higher damage at short range. It is best to take them out before they get close.

CrewmanSniper
Main article: Sniper Crewman

Sniper Crewmen are special Crewmen that carry Lanka Lanka sniper rifles and wear bright yellow suits. They are stronger and less common than normal crewmen and usually accompany a group of normal Crewmen into battle, providing ranged fire support. As of Update 20.0 (2017-03-24), Sniper Crewmen gained the ability to deploy Ratel to attack players.


CrewmanElite
Main article: Elite Crewman

The Elite Crewmen are a more powerful version of the regular Corpus Crewmen. They wield the FluxRifle Flux Rifle, which fires a sustained laser beam capable of dealing extremely high DPS at medium range, and has the tendency to inflict DmgSlashSmall64 Slash procs against their foes frequently.


CrewmanTech
Main article: Corpus Tech

Corpus Techs are large crewmen in red suits and light orange visors wielding the Corpus-produced Supra Supra. They have a dangerously powerful burst fire which is only amplified with their high fire rate and short spin-up. They don't particularly have a lot of health compared to other heavy enemies, despite having over twice the health of a standard crewman at the same level. On the other hand, they will deploy Shield Ospreys to protect themselves and their fellow Corpus once their health is lowered enough, and can do so with a short cooldown time.


CrewmanProd
Main article: Prod Crewman

Prod Crewmen are the melee troops of the Corpus. Clad in green uniforms they wield the Prova Prova shock baton. While they deal less damage than Grineer light units, they can still be dangerous in numbers.

CorpusMachinist
Main article: Machinist

Machinists are specialized Corpus Techs wielding a modified Ambassador Ambassador that functions similarly to the Ignis Ignis, but can also deploy patches of napalm. They can also deploy a Mine Osprey when damaged.


CrpNullRanger
Main article: Nullifier Crewman

The Nullifier Crewman is a Corpus Sniper Crewman that carries a power pack on its back. When alerted to a hostile presence, a Projector Drone is deployed from the pack that generates an energy field beneath it. The spherical field not only prevents projectiles from entering (similar to a SnowGlobe130xWhite Snow Globe), but also dispels any present buffs as soon as players enter it. The field also prevents any abilities from being cast within its radius and destroys most powers in its radius. Firing at the globe causes it to gradually shrink and eventually dissipate altogether, forcing the drone back into the pack, from where it will re-emerge after a brief period. The projector drone itself resides at all times outside the field, orbiting above the crewman, and destroying it permanently removes the crewman's ability to project the barrier.


TerraManker
Main article: Terra Manker

Terra Manker is a Corpus enemy unit encountered in the Orb Vallis on Venus during the Profit-Taker Orb boss fight. They wield the Fluctus Fluctus energy weapon to deliver heavy blows to their enemies, and are guaranteed to drop Heavy Weapon Ammo pickups on death for Atmospheric Archguns that are required for the Profit-Taker Orb fight.

TerraOvertaker
Main article: Terra Overtaker

Terra Overtaker is a Corpus enemy unit encountered in the Orb Vallis on Venus. Wielding a modified Convectrix Convectrix, they are capable of shooting homing energy bolts that explode on hit.

TerraPlasmorCrewman

Terra Plasmor Crewman are a special Crewman variant deployed by the Corpus on the Orb Vallis, Venus. They are armed with the ArcaPlasmor Arca Plasmor shotgun, able to deal massive damage at medium-short range, and can easily overwhelm unwary Tenno in groups.

FogComba
Main article: Comba

The Comba is a special Corpus infantry unit. Like the Scrambus, the Comba is capable of projecting an aura from their helmet that disrupts Warframe abilities. The nullification aura also disrupts the player's HUD.

FogScrambus
Main article: Scrambus

Scrambus are Corpus infantry units which utilize special hover shoes to move quickly around the battlefield. Like the Comba, the Scrambus is capable of projecting aura from their helmet that disrupts certain classes of Warframe abilities. The nullification aura also disrupts the player's HUD.


Rangers[]

Equipped with jetpacks, these special units can support the frontlines by keeping their distance and sniping their target, or engage them by moving at high speed. Not to be confused with the Archwing Rangers.

TerraTrencher
Main article: Terra Trencher

Terra Trenchers are Corpus enemy units encountered in the Orb Vallis on Venus, wielding a Kreska Kreska in each hand to engage the Tenno in close combat.


TerraProvisor
Main article: Terra Provisor

Terra Provisors are Corpus enemy units encountered in the Orb Vallis on Venus, equipped with a Tetra Tetra rifle and utilizing jetpacks to engage in aerial combat.


VaposDetronRanger
Main article: Vapos Detron Ranger

Vapos Detron Rangers are Detron Crewmen equipped with an ArcaPlasmor Arca Plasmor shotgun who utilize jetpacks to engage in aerial combat.

VaposEliteRanger
Main article: Vapos Elite Ranger

Vapos Elite Rangers are Elite Crewmen equipped with an Exergis Exergis or Tetra Tetra and utilize jetpacks to engage in aerial combat.


VaposNullifierRanger
Main article: Vapos Nullifier Ranger

Vapos Nullifier Rangers are Nullifier Crewmen equipped with a Tetra Tetra and utilize jetpacks to engage in aerial combat.

VaposSniperRanger
Main article: Vapos Sniper Ranger

Vapos Sniper Rangers are Sniper Crewmen equipped with an Ambassador Ambassador who utilize jetpacks to engage in aerial combat.

VaposTechRanger
Main article: Vapos Tech Ranger

Vapos Tech Rangers are Corpus Techs equipped with a Supra Supra laser rifle who utilize jetpacks to engage in aerial combat.

Walkers[]

MOAsDE

They are robotic bipedal walkers used by the Corpus as a form of support. Essentially, they are walking turrets that will run towards players, firing at them once within range. MOAs cannot be stunned if hit by a melee attack and rarely take cover. MOAs can be spawned by "cabinets" found in Corpus tilesets. There seems to be a special variant of a regular MOA on Eris in the Infested Ship tileset, called the Corpus Walker. The Lotus often references Corpus Walkers in missions but they never actually appear. They can be scanned but do not have a Codex entry, nor do the scans contribute to the MOA requirement. They seem to feature the Shockwave ability and increased fire rate/accuracy.

MOADE
Main article: MOA

The MOA is a Corpus robotic proxy that serves as the backbone of their automated combat forces. Appearing as a tall, armless, bipedal walker, these are the most ubiquitous combat machines seen in the Origin System.

Standard MOAs are identified by their green color and are the weakest, most common type of MOA. They will often attempt to overwhelm players with sheer numbers.

MinimaMOATemp
Main article: Minima MOA

Minima MOA is a miniature version of the MOA spawned from Juno Sniper Crewman's electrical spawn pads. They will attempt to get close to the player and self-destruct to deal heavy damage to them.

ShockwaveMOADE
Main article: Shockwave MOA

Shockwave MOAs are identified by their yellow-orange bodies and are a larger, less common variant of MOA.  Initially, they do not fire at players; they will run towards one and release a shockwave once close enough. This shockwave slowly expands and knocks down any player who fails to jump over it; these MOAs will slow to a near-stop and raise a leg seconds before releasing a shockwave. Afterwards, they will fire at players until another shockwave can be released.

RailgunMOADE
Main article: Railgun MOA

Railgun MOAs are a larger variant of the standard MOAs, they are colored blue and are rarer. They fire at a much slower rate, but their attacks cause significantly more damage and as of Update 8.3 (2013-07-04) knock players to the ground upon being hit by the shot. They must charge their primary weapon before firing and are vulnerable during this time. Their shots have little travel time, and can pierce walls and objects, including FrostIcon272 Frost's SnowGlobe130xWhite Snow Globe, while their secondary weapon can in fact damage the player if they are standing too close.

FusionMOADE
Main article: Fusion MOA

The Fusion MOA is a MOA variant that has been infused with Orokin technology and was first introduced in the Fusion MOA Event. Identified by its white, ornate armor the Fusion MOA is armed with a laser that deals DmgFireSmall64 Heat damage and may occasionally proc, igniting its target. It also has the ability to deploy an Attack Drone once its health drops below 50%, providing additional fire. Coupled with its high health and shields, the Fusion MOA is effective in short-range combat.


DEAnti MOAbigger
Main article: Anti MOA

The Anti Moa is a MOA variant that was released on Update 11, initially limited to the Corpus Gas City, it is now present in any Corpus-themed tileset.

Having the same design as the Fusion MOA without a Fusion Drone, its primary weapon fires a projectile that ricochets off surfaces and other entities roughly up to four bounces, where the fifth bounce dissipates the projectile into a blue, slow-expanding shockwave similar to the Rippling Shockwave, knocking down players that come in contact with it.

Because it is prone to missing its target (due to its low rate of fire and the projectile's travel speed), it primarily serves as a support unit, incapacitating players so that other Corpus personnel can attack them without retaliation.


Popcorn
Main article: Test MOA

Test MOA are MOA designed as test dummies for the Jackal. It also appears during Part One of The New War, under the name Breacher MOA (Veso's first ability).

JunoDeraMOA
Main article: Juno Dera MOA

JunoDiscMOA
Main article: Juno Disc MOA

Disc MOAs are a variant of the MOA initially released on Update 28.0 (2020-06-11) with the Corpus Ship remaster. As of Update 29.10 (2021-03-19), each of the Corpus Proxima regions have their own models.

The Juno models fire small energy orbs that can ricochet off of surfaces once. The projectiles will dissipate on either the second collision or on contact with a target.

The Taro, Axio, Vorac, and Orm models fire simple fast moving disc projectiles.


JunoGeminexMOA
Main article: Juno Geminex MOA

JunoGlaxionMOA
Main article: Juno Glaxion MOA

RiotMoaDispersion
Main article: Isolator Bursa

The Isolator Bursa is one of the three types of Bursa introduced in Operation False Profit, armed with a variety of close combat and ability-denial powers. While most of it is protected by heavy armor, the back panel of the Isolator Bursa represents its weakest point and holds a hackable console, which can only be accessed after the Bursa is incapacitated. Hacking the Bursa allows Tenno to turn it against the enemy for a short duration before expiring.


RiotMoaControl
Main article: Drover Bursa

The Drover Bursa is one of the three types of Bursa introduced in Operation: False Profit, geared toward heavy artillery. While most of it is protected by heavy armor, the back panel of the Drover Bursa represents its weakest point and holds a hackable console, which can only be accessed after the Bursa is incapacitated. Hacking the Bursa allows Tenno to turn it against the enemy for a short duration before expiring.


RiotMoaPrevention
Main article: Denial Bursa

The Denial Bursa is one of the three types of Bursa introduced in Operation False Profit, specializing in crowd-control and area-denial attacks. While most of it is protected by heavy armor, the back panel of the Denial Bursa represents its weakest point and holds a hackable console, which can only be accessed after the Bursa is incapacitated. Hacking the Bursa allows Tenno to turn it against the enemy for a short duration before expiring.


TerraEmbattorMOA
Main article: Terra Embattor MOA

Terra Embattor MOAs are a Bursa variant deployed by the Corpus on the Orb Vallis, Venus.


Ospreys[]

OspreysDE

Ospreys are flying robotic units used by the Corpus. Relatively fragile, they usually provide support with buffs and debuffs instead of blunt firepower. The Ospreys' ability to hover makes them difficult to strike with melee attacks.

LeechOspreyDE
Main article: Leech Osprey

Identified by their light green bodies, Leech Ospreys deploy small mechanical parasites that drain players' shields. Although the leeches cannot kill players themselves, they can leave the player vulnerable to Corpus attacks. Leeches can be removed with a melee attack or by rolling. While the leeches will home in on targets, they are still avoidable by making them fly into walls, which will stop them.


MineOspreyDE
Main article: Mine Osprey

Yellow-orange Mine Ospreys deploy energy orbs that will explode after a short period of time, or if a player steps on them. They will continue to deploy mines as long as there are players nearby. It is possible for mines to attach themselves to other units if they land on them and potentially killing them. Mines can also be destroyed by shooting them before the osprey deploys them.

OspreySuicide
Main article: Oxium Osprey

The Oxium Osprey is a Corpus Osprey introduced in the Operation: Oxium Espionage event. Although armed with a laser repeater similar to those equipped on Scavenger Drones, its primary means of attack involves charging at players once it takes damage, detonating itself if it gets close enough to them. As their name suggests, they are the only enemies in the game that drop Oxium Oxium (7-12 units per Osprey) but only if they were destroyed by the player; they do not drop Oxium if they self-destruct.


ShieldOspreyDE
Main article: Shield Osprey

Shield Ospreys are small teal ospreys that project constantly regenerating shields over every nearby Corpus units in range including other Shield Ospreys. The shield cast over units grants a flat 100 shield plus 35% of base shields when within 10 meters of an osprey, and will instantly refill shields. Multiple osprey shields can stack, each one granting an additional 35% of base shields, but not another flat 100. Their presence will be apparent over groups of enemies outlined in blue, and can be located by electrical links that connect the Osprey to its targets. Shield Ospreys are generally quite fragile and can be dispatched easily, and is the most common type of Osprey encountered.

JunoJactusOsprey
Main article: Juno Jactus Osprey

FusionDroneDE
Main article: Attack Drone

Attack Drones are deployed by Fusion MOAs when they reach about 50% health, but can be avoided if you destroy the MOA during its short deploying period.

Due to their fast-firing weapon, hovering nature, and immunity to crowd control status (e.g.: ragdoll, stun), they pose a big threat.

ScavangerOspreyDE
Main article: Scavenger Drone

Scavenger Drones appear as large yellow-green Ospreys. Aside from being able to fire lasers akin to the Fusion Drone (though with less damage), these drones are able to vacuum up dropped items nearby such as ammo or materials, and then release a bright-yellow Rippling Shockwave thereafter. Destroying this Osprey will not always drop loot that was confiscated.

TerraAttackDrones
Main article: Terra Attack Drone

Terra Attack Drones are different from their normal counterpart because they are not ejected by a Fusion MOA and attack in autonomy.

Miscellaneous[]

The Corpus faction employs security measures around their bases that can lock unsuspecting players in a room full of turrets or even block them from leaving rooms with laser barriers that can completely drain shields.

Security camera
Main article: Security Camera

Security Cameras are mounted on ceilings. They used to have a distinctive beeping sound, but are now fairly silent and possess a glowing green light. If a camera detects a player, the light will glow red and a short alarm sound will play. Upon detection, cameras will activate any nearby Turrets and Laser Barriers. Players should prioritize cameras as they may activate Laser Barriers and Turrets at the worst of times if left alone. Destroying the cameras will render both Turrets and Laser Barriers null, deactivating them. 

Corpus Laser Barrier
Main article: Laser Barrier

Laser Barriers are found inside the frame of Corpus doors. They are activated by nearby Security Cameras that detect any hostile targets. They are avoided/deactivated by staying out of the camera's line of sight, or destroying the camera. Laser barriers can only damage shields, never health.

Turret
Main article: Turret

Turrets are mounted on ceilings and will shoot the player upon being triggered by a nearby Security Camera. They deactivate if damaged sufficiently, if the controlling camera is destroyed, or if the camera stops detecting hostiles. If they deactivate before destroyed, they will be completely repaired.

DEAlad V
Main article: Alad V

Alad V was a high ranking Corpus member, seated on the Corpus Board of Directors and the head of Grineer Relations. He is the most recurring Corpus boss in terms of his involvements with various Events.

Originally the creator of the ambitious Zanuka Project, an initiative to create advanced robotics by using Warframe components, its eventual failure saw him removed from the Board of Directors and replaced with his longtime rival, Frohd Bek. He would later form unlikely alliances with his enemies, namely the Infested, the Tenno, and even the Sentients, to produce new schemes or ensure his survival while on the run from his former Corpus backers and the Stalker's Acolytes.

On the Star Chart, Alad V is first encountered on Themisto, Jupiter as a Corpus boss, where he is accompanied by his robotic pet and guardian, Zanuka, which he built from parts of Warframes that he captured. Upon completion of this assassination mission, the player will receive ValkyrIcon272 Valkyr component blueprints. He also has a high drop rate for Neural Sensors.


CodexAmbulas
Main article: Ambulas

Ambulas is the Corpus boss of Pluto, possessing a highly intelligent AI called Animo that allows it to learn and adapt from previous combat experiences to ensure that the proxy cannot be defeated by the same strategy twice. Animo was created by Ergo Glast during his time with the Corpus as a means of resolving conflict, only for Frohd Bek to misuse and weaponize it as part of Operation: Ambulas Reborn; fearing that Animo's learning may result in a repetition of the catastrophe which occurred when the Orokin made similar strides with advanced AI, Glast seeks the Tenno's aid to destroy the Animo processor.

Ambulas units are dispatched by Condor Dropships on any Corpus Outpost mission on Pluto; disabling and hacking into these units award Animo Nav Beacons which are required to initiate the Ambulas boss on the mission Hades, Pluto. After defeating it finishing the mission, the player will receive a TrinityIcon272 Trinity component blueprint.

He also may demand information regarding Orokin secrets, or make fun of the player's Warframe or teammates.

He can be found on the mission Iliad, Phobos. A successful assassination awards MagIcon272 Mag component blueprints. The Sergeant has an increased chance to drop Morphics upon death.


DEHarvester
Main article: Zanuka Hunter

The Zanuka Hunter, formerly known as the Harvester, is a gray-colored Zanuka proxy controlled by Alad V. During missions, it will attack one targeted Tenno until either the Tenno or Zanuka Hunter dies. It appears rarely, in a manner similar to the Stalker. Triggering a Zanuka Hunter attack requires a player to have a Death Mark, acquired by fighting against the Corpus across five Invasion missions, or it can be summoned by using a Zanuka Hunter Beacon. Active Death Marks can be seen on a player's profile.


Trivia[]

  • The Latin translation of Corpus is "a frame, body, system, structure, community, corporation".
  • Unlike the Grineer, the Corpus is dominantly capable of speaking English. This was unknown before, as the Corpus Crewmen are only heard through their robotic voices given by their helmets.
    • As of Update 12.4 (2014-03-05), the Corpus now have their own language, possibly implying that their written language is different from the one they speak.
  • After Hotfix 11.5.5 (2013-12-31) and Devstream 20, the Corpus's territory had been greatly reduced due to the mass farming of Detron Detron components which were only dropped by the Zanuka Hunter which could only be done by completing Invasion missions supporting the Grineer. To aid in restoring the loss of Corpus ground, they introduced The Grustrag Three, a trio that drop the components for the Brakk Brakk and which can only be summoned by fighting against the Grineer in invasion missions.
  • Before Damage 2.0, the Corpus had the ironic trait of having many of their weapons be most effective against themselves whereas the Grineer were highly resistant to the reverse-engineered versions of their own bullets.
  • The official website states that the Corpus are "rarely seen by others and are better known for the robot proxies that serve for them." Despite this, there are often more Crewmen seen in combat than combat proxies.
    • This probably implies that when the Corpus deal with trades with other factions, their robotic proxies are usually doing the dealing rather than the Corpus themselves. It is only when fighting them that they will fight alongside their machines.
  • While visually, weapons designed by the Corpus resemble lasers or plasma weapons, a large amount of their weaponry tends to deal physical damage, such as DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture damage. This may be explained somewhat by how lasers can slice through armor and flesh in real life, and while their railgun technology fires physical projectiles, they are ultimately powered by advanced, compact electromagnetic technology.
