Operation: The Pacifism Defect



The Pacifism Defect is an event released with. The Tenno must protect Grineer defectors known as the Kavor Defectors from the Infestation. This event began on Thursday, 2 March 2017, and will end on Thursday, 9 March 2017.

"The Infestation has overrun a convoy of allied ships and forced the surviving crew into emergency safe rooms. They’re holding on for now, but without your support, they’ll die on those ships.

Before you go, you should know something; the crew is Grineer. But not just any Grineer, they’re Kavor Defectors, pacifists who deserted Sargas Ruks army when they could no longer bring themselves to kill for him. They don’t want to fight anymore, not for the Grineer, and not for Steel Meridian. All they desire is a peaceful life, but that won’t come easy; Sargas Ruk is hot on their trail and desperate to make an example of them.

The Kavor need evacuation, will you answer this call?"

What You Need To Do
Time is running out; the Infestation is growing and spreading quickly as the dead join their side. Rescue as many survivors as you can by clearing a path through the Infestation and leading them to the escape pods. The survivors are susceptible to environmental damage and will need to be healed using the Med Towers throughout the ship! Keep them alive as you escort them through the hostile ship that was once their only hope of peace.

What You Need To Know

This will not be easy as Sargas Ruk is hot on their trail and desperate to make an example of them.

Tips

 * Nova's Worm Hole works on the Defectors, speeding their transportation up. Simply place one in front of a line of defectors and have them walk into it to teleport them.
 * Keep in mind however, that this will teleport a few defectors ahead of you, and into enemy fire. When the Infested get to a certain level, they can easily one shot the defectors so putting them in direct harms way by teleporting them ahead may not be a good idea.
 * Healing abilities, such as Trinity's Blessing and Equinox's Mend, work on the Defectors. Sancti Magistar also works to heal them on charge attacks; however, Oberon's renewal does not, and Nezha's Blazing Chakram shows inconsistent results.
 * When using Trinity's Blessing, a low-duration build is actually optimal, as Blessing will not heal or otherwise affect Defectors if they still have the damage reduction from a previous cast active.
 * Limbo can Banish Defectors to the Rift; this will prevent them from being damaged by Infested, but they will still take the constant health damage from the environment.
 * The Rejuvenation aura heals Defectors, and 4 copies of it with Coaction Drifts will negate the constant health damage entirely or almost entirely.
 * Pherliac Pods temporarily distract hordes of Infested after being thrown, and can be used to provide some breathing room to Defectors who are being overrun.

Trivia

 * After the start of the event, participation tier requirements have been lowered.
 * This is the first time in Warframe where the Infested can infect enemies in actual gameplay.
