Invasion

Invasion is a mission type that allows players to team up together with Corpus or Grineer to work against the opposing factions, as a faction invades a specific mission node.

In the map selection screen, a level that is being invaded by the opposing faction will show a clenched fist icon along with a bright pulse. A Red pulse with a sparkle for a Grineer invasion, Blue pulse for a Corpus invasion, and a Green pulse with a green smoke effect for an Infested invasion.

The Infested also are able to invade, although players cannot side with them, and if the mission is not fought back it will spread quickly through connecting missions, eventually reaching the boss mission if the outbreak is not taken under control. Once hitting the boss level, Phorid will reside on that mission until the outbreak is exterminated. Players will side with either the Grineer or Corpus during Invasion missions, and receive rewards for completing a certain number of missions for that invasion.



The attacking faction is represented on the left, with a percent of capture. The faction being attacked is represented on the right. Once it reaches 100% for the attacking faction, that faction will now control the level, replacing the enemies of that level with their type. Once it reaches 0% however, the attacking faction will be beaten back and it will remain the same.
