Tactical Alert

Tactical Alerts are special Alert missions that feature unique challenges and enemies compared to traditional Alert missions. Similar to normal alerts, Tactical Alerts appear for a limited time, replacing a particular mission node until it expires or is completed.

Mechanics
Unlike traditional Alert missions, Tactical Alerts can contain non-standard enemy compositions such as large numbers of advanced units or even boss units that make the opposition deadlier than usual. Additionally, Tactical Alerts feature so-called "Void Sensors" that places a maximum Conclave point limit that restricts players on the type of weapons and equipment they can carry, which forces the player to use underpowered equipment.

Tactical Alerts also do not disappear after a single run; instead, each successful run of a Tactical Alert will grant points that accumulate with each subsequent run. The Tactical Alert is completed after a certain amount of points are acquired, which will then grant players the stated reward.

Additionally, after completion players have the option of running a Stratos Challenge, which is a more difficult version of the completed Tactical Alert with even lower Conclave point limits. Completing the Stratos Challenge has similar mechanics to the above, and will grant a Tactical Specialist Emblem upon completion.
