Hijack

Hijack is a new gamemode introduced in update 12.4 during the Tethra's Doom event. Players must use a console to take control of an objective object (during Tethra's Doom, a Fomorian Power Core) and lead it to extraction safely.



Gameplay During Tethra's Doom
Players must navigate through a Grineer Shipyard which resembles a mixture of both the Grineer Gallien tileset and the Grineer Forest tileset, with added features seen on Grineer Asteroid tilesets. Areas are seen where construction robots are actively welding parts onto Fomorian ship parts.

Once reaching the objective, players must simply activate a Grineer console to open a large door holding the Fomorian Power Core, which is guided by an overhead Tram system. The Lotus tells you that Grineer have shut down power to the Tram system so it will siphon power from your Shields instead, draining "x%" a second and will stop when no shields are present or no players are close enough to the Tram to siphon power.

Along the way, you will stop at checkpoint doors that take a few moments to open, in which the Tram will stop draining shields momentarily, allowing shield recharging to occur, however this also will cause enemies to gain distance and reach you, or give them time to spawn on the other side of the door. The Lotus will warn you occasionally when the Core takes damage or when the damage level is critical. If the Core reaches 0 health before reaching extraction, the Core will explode in a bright white light and the mission will fail.
