Spy

Spy (ver 2.0) is a Mission type where players are tasked with extracting confidential data from enemy data servers.

Mechanics
Spy missions require players to locate consoles found in Data Vaults, which are special rooms featuring heavy security and advanced defense mechanisms guarding the console access terminals. Players must breach the Data Vault rooms and then hack the access console in order to extract the data. If a Tenno trips over the Data Vault's security features or an enemy activates the Data Vault's alarm, the Data Vault's defense mechanisms and enemy reinforcements become active, ad a countdown timer will initiate indicating the time until the data is wiped off the server, giving players a limited time in which to attempt to reach the console and hack it.

Each Spy mission will have three separate Data Vaults, of which all three must be breached and attempted before extraction becomes available. End-of-mission rewards for Spy missions depends on the number of Data Vaults successfully hacked, with at least one vault hack needing to be successful in order to accomplish the mission.
