The Lotus is leading a group of Tenno called Alpha Team, to raid hidden valuable supply caches elsewhere in the sector and needs your help to provide support by distracting enemies.

As your enemies advance they will attempt to cut off life support to the sector by draining the ship’s oxygen supply by the second. Fear not, the Lotus will drop supplemental oxygen supplies to buy you time. Enemies also carry personal oxygen supplies that drop as you eliminate them and will help replenish the sector’s oxygen level.

Your objective is to activate oxygen capsules to maintain the sector’s oxygen levels for as long as possible. If oxygen levels expire before the first supply cache is raided-or all players die, the mission fails. After each successful raid of a supply cache by Alpha Team, the Lotus will distribute wealth in the form of mods, resources, credits and other valuable items. Enemies get progressively difficult the longer you survive. Fight your way through three tiers of enemies to obtain rewards, survive even longer to earn Leaderboard status.

Survival Tips

 * Team
 * 2 person team can (assuming you have good weapons, mod loadouts, and team compatability) Can survive the challenge for over 20 mins. 4 person team is highly effective and can survive easily for over 35 minutes granted you have basic communication.
 * Another tip is to stand in the middle of the main room, and let the enemy come to you, With a Nova using Molecular Prime, You should get a nice amount of kills.
 * Do NOT camp at the spawns. Enemies will be harder to kill, spawn less quicker and the drops will be much more spread out.
 * It is HIGHLY recommended to stick together, allowing for easier revival and oxygen collection.
 * Save Lotus drops for when you really need them, as you only get a limited few. Use them when you go below 80% or so, as reaching and opening them takes some time.
 * For the Infested, staying on boxes will allow for easier survival, but bring along a Rhino to stomp and collect resources.


 * Warframes/Auras/Mods
 * Infested
 * Ember and Nova are very good damage frames, Vauban can be a good defense/crowd control frame to keep ancients at bay. Rhino is a good and efficient tank to deal with the ancients.
 * Both Energy Siphon and Rejuvenation are good aura mods (you will be facing numerous toxic ancients). The use of Infested Impedance is not recommed (you want the enemies to reach you as fast as possible, you need the oxygen drops). Enemy radar might be usefull if you experience enemies getting stuck a lot.
 * Fire elemental mods will deal much more damages to Infested.
 * Corpus
 * Having Mag Pull the enemies while having other teammates shoot her with Torid is an effective tactic, and will guarantee a kill rate faster than Nova's Molecular Prime, specifically because of the open-wide. Especially useful in a dead-end hallway.
 * Remember to use Electric elemental mods.
