"This is Nidus, the adaptive, the scourge.

Nidus is a deadly plague for which there is no cure. You must control the strange disease."

- Lotus

Release Date: December 22, 2016

Epitome of the endlessly evolving Infestation, Nidus bends the vile corruption to his will, mutates his genetic potency to adapt and assimilates his victims with an insatiable parasitic hunger. Nidus and his strain developed in.

Acquisition
Nidus' main blueprint is acquired from The Glast Gambit quest.

Component blueprints are acquired from rotation C of the Infested Salvage mission in Oestrus, Eris.

The drop chances for each component are 14.29%. This means each piece will take, on average, 7 runs to obtain. By 20 runs there is a 90% chance all three pieces will have been obtained.
