Gameplay FAQ
'''Q: I've received an inbox message from Alad V, something about me being interested in the Zanuka Project. What does that mean? A: '''That message is a Death Mark sent by Alad V occasionally when you've supported the Grineer in an Invasion mission. With this death mark activated, rarely in the mission you will be hunted by an Assasin-class Boss called the Zanuka Hunter (also known as Harvester). Defeating it will yield a component for the rare weapon Detron, but you will be captured if you've lost to it, abruptly leading to an Escape mission.

'''Q: I've received an inbox message from Councilor Vay Hek, something about my meddling not being tolerated. What does that mean? A: '''That message is a Death Mark sent by Councilor Vay Hek occasionally when you've supported the Corpus in an Invasion mission. With this death mark activated, rarely in the mission you will be hunted by a group of Assasin-class enemies called The Grustrag Three. Defeating them will yield components for the rare weapon Brakk, but you will be attached with a Grustrag Bolt if you've lost to them, which promptly reduces all the damage to deal to Grineer by 50%.

'''Q: I've received an inbox message from ???, saying "Your actions have consequences...". What was that all about? A: '''That message is a Death Mark sent by the Stalker rarely when you killed a Boss. The Stalker is an ominous, vengeful Assassin-class figure that infrequently appears during missions, armed with powerful arsenal to hunt you down, but also yields a chance of him dropping a rare blueprint. You should wait until you have an arsenal powerful enough to take him on as he is arguably the strongest of all three Assasin-class bosses.
