The Corrupted are the enemies found in Orokin Void levels. The units are actually Corpus, Grineer, and even Infested units that have been implanted with a form of control device that allows the "Neural Sentry" of the Orokin Towers to manipulate them. Most Corrupted units appear drained of color and almost have a metallic appearance to them. All of the Corrupted have an Orokin control device on them, located on their heads, that is golden in color and appears similar to other Orokin designs, like Frost Prime's helmet. The tower also seems to provide some of these units with Orokin weapons to aid in the defense of the tower. The tower is not without its own defense though, the tower utilizes flying sentries similar to Shield Osprey that provide shields to the Corrupted. It also has defensible turrets cleverly hidden from view behind walls and an array of deadly traps.
The Corrupted also have unique taunts and sounds, from evil laughter to electronically dampened moans (such as Ancients moans but softer) however any language present in their non-corrupted versions have been stripped away.
Corrupted Enemies
Corrupted Lancer
Essentially an Orokin-controlled Grineer Lancer. In comparison to Lancers, they have lower HP pool and doubled armor value, and wield Deras instead of Grakata. They can still throw grenades just like regular Lancers.
Corrupted Crewman
An Orokin-controlled Corpus Crewman. Just as regular Crewmen, they are protected by moderate shields and their helmets prevent any bullet damage. However, instead of Dera rifles they use Strun shotguns which fire a single (or very highly clustered) shot towards you, with a small amount of travel time.
Orokin Drone
An Orokin drone that acts similar to a Shield Osprey. While they also project shields over nearby Corrupted allies, they are a slight upgrade to the standard Shield Osprey in that their shields recharge instantly and their charging rate is faster. Like standard Shield Ospreys, they will project shield around allies when Mind Controlled by Nyx, or brought back as a Clone by Nekros.
Corrupted Heavy
An Orokin-controlled Grineer Heavy Gunner. They share the same abilites and traits as regular Heavy Gunners. However, Corrupted Gunners have twice as much HP in comparison to regular ones.
Corrupted MOA
Although renamed as Corrupted like the other corrupted units, they are exactly the same as Fusion MOAs found in standard levels, both in terms of abilities and appearance.
Fusion MOA Drone
Deployed by Fusion MOA's, they act and look the same as in normal missions. They often appear without being deployed by Fusion MOAs in void Survival.
Corrupted Ancient
An Orokin-controlled Infested Ancient Healer. They act exactly the same as normal Ancient Healers, regularly healing all other Corrupted units nearby. And as regular Ancient Healers, they can be mind controlled by Nyx, or brought back as a Clone by Nekros to heal you and your teammates, giving you 100 health per pulse.
Trivia
- All Corrupted units used to share the same name. With the addition of Codex in Update 11, each Corrupted unit has been given its own designation.
