Incursion

Incursions are optional mission objectives that can randomly appear in the Plains of Eidolon.

Mechanics
During daytime, the Lotus may spawn an Incursion with an accompanying waypoint on a random location near the player's position. Players are given 3 minutes with which to accept the mission, which can be done by simply moving to the designated mission area. If the player does not accept the mission, the Incursion will expire, and a new one will be generated after 5 minutes; if they accept, a new Incursion will be give 5 minutes after they complete or fail the mission.

Completing an Incursion will reward a random item or resource, as well as a small amount of Ostron Standing. There are no penalties to ignoring incursions apart from the loss of potential item gain.

Drone Hijack
This Incursion requires players to find a deactivated Grineer drone lying on the ground, which can be reactivated by Hacking it. Once the drone is active players can move it by staying within 30 meters of it, which will impel it to move towards an extraction point up to 700 meters away in a randomly picked location. The objective of the mission is to bring the Drone to the extraction point safely; the mission fails if the drone is destroyed en route to extraction.

The Grineer will periodically launch drop pods with reinforcements along the path that the Drone will take as they try to destroy it.

Assassinate
Assassination Incursions involve killing a Grineer Field Commander who will drop in within a designated target area. However, the Field Commander will initially not be present on the field, and players must first kill at least 15 enemy units before the Commander arrives via drop pod.

Players have 5 minutes total with which to kill the necessary amount of enemies to draw out the target, and then kill the target. The mission fails if the timer expires.
