Dog Days is an annual Tactical Alert event. Kela De Thaym comically falls under the effects of some sort of gas leak, promoting a special Rathuum competition with water guns instead of acid throwers.
Mechanics[]
- Rathuum game mode with all participants only equipped with a
Soaktron water gun. Unlike normal Rathuum missions where the first team to reach 25 total kills wins, there is a 5 minute timer and the team with the highest total kills when the time is up wins.
- All Warframe health values are set to 100 health and no shields and their health slowly regenerates akin to one
Rejuvenation. All Executioners have no shields and no armor.
- All Warframe abilities and passives, equipped Mods, and Helminth Invigorations are disabled. The Gear and Emotes wheel also cannot be accessed.
- Instead of the normal Rathuum maps, all games are played on the same singular Earth beach map with the Plains of Eidolon's day and night cycle.
- Ammo pickups are replaced by water vents. Health and Energy Orbs do not spawn.
- Players can gain 3 Lob Blobs, water balloons that explode on impact, from select water vents with floating red balloons. These act like Thrown Secondary weapons with low projectile speed.
- Any Lob Blobs the player has are lost upon death.
- Players can gain 3 Lob Blobs, water balloons that explode on impact, from select water vents with floating red balloons. These act like Thrown Secondary weapons with low projectile speed.
- All Warframes will wear a cosmetic floating inner tube. All Executioners will wear special outfits, including different colors, cosmetic inflatable armbands, and/or straw hats. The "KILLED" message is changed to "SOAKED" and a water splash effect will appear on death.

Notes[]
- Resource Boosters and Resource Drop Chance Boosters do not increase gains.
- The Dog Days Ephemera is a limited-time seasonal item that is removed once the Dog Days Tactical Alert ends.
- The Soaker Ephemera, however, is unlocked permanently after acquisition and is not a limited-time item.
- During the event, several Dog Days themed items are available on the Market:
- Dog Days Glyph:
1
- Rollers Color Picker Extension:
75
- Noggle Statue - Dog Days Executioners:
35 each
- Dog Days Glyph:
Tips[]
- Despite Warframe abilities and passives being disabled, certain mods and weapon passives are not:
Amalgam Barrel Diffusion and
Amalgam Serration grant dodge speed and sprint speed, respectively.
Praedos grants parkour velocity if Evolved Ascension has been selected.
- Since all parkour maneuvers are allowed, the player can perform Jump Kicks in order to inflict
Knockdown on the Executioners, making them significantly easier to shoot. This also deals a small amount of damage to them.
- The True Master's Font damage blessing increases Soaktron/Lob Blob damage.
- Direct hits from Lob Blobs can instantly kill the Executioners.
- Use Waypoints to mark where Lob Blobs respawn in order to memorize where they can be picked up.
- Enemies that beeline toward the player from afar will move in a straight line, making them very easy to hit despite the Soaktron's slow projectile speed.
Media[]
Trivia[]
- The beach arena map used in the event resembles the shores of the Plains of Eidolon. In addition, buoys surround the arena that resemble the Unum tower in shape.
- The Roller Floofs for sale from Nakak can be found scattered around the arena, although like the decoration version they are purely cosmetic.

Patch History[]
Hotfix 36.0.8 (2024-07-25)
- Fixed Dog Days enemies being unable to target players if they stand on a certain section of the tile.
Hotfix 36.0.7 (2024-07-22)
- DOG DAYS RETURNS ON ALL PLATFORMS @ 1:30 PM ET
Dog Days is returning today! It’ll be going live shortly after this Hotfix, we just need to make sure everything is clear post-Hotfix before turning it on.
Take a stand on the sand and get your Soaktron ready to rumble… Dog Days is back for another seasonal seaside slobberknocker! Kela De Thaym has the beach arena primed for mayhem, so grab your inner tube and let the Lob Blobs fly.
Complete four limited-time Tactical Alerts to earn new Rewards, Credits and Nakak Pearls that you can use to trade for items in Nakak’s exclusive Dog Days offerings, found in her Beach Toys stock on Cetus.
This iteration of Dog Days also features Nakak Pearl awards for Assists - read on for more details!
NEW REWARDS
In addition to returning favorites, like Captura Scenes and the Soaktron Rifle Skin, new rewards have arrived with a splash!
Hellshell Domestik Drone
A new Domestik Drone is also available to earn from Mission 4 of the Tactical Alerts, ready to give your dirty Orbiter floors Hell!
Community Dog Days Glyphs
These Glyphs featuring Grendel, Lavos, Voruna, and Yareli were created by community artist CheruuAx!
Dropkick Drahk Sigil and Emblem
You know what The Drahk is cooking.
HOW TO PLAY From Navigation, select the Dog Days Tactical Alert missions under the Event tab to be transported to a tropical arena that shifts from day to night. The Dog Day’s arena is a water munitions-only zone, which means there are no Mods, Buffs (Invigorations and Archon shards), Companions, or Abilities. Winning a match comes down to who can drench the opposing team the most (Tenno vs. Grineer) before the timer runs out.
If your Soaktron runs out of water you can refill it by passing through water refill stations dotted around the map. Another thing you will find at some of these stations are Lob Blobs!
Nakak Pearl Rebalancing and Rewards from Assists
The only thing that grinds Tenno gears more than Executioner Garesh are kill steals in Dog Days. Those woes are hopefully a thing of the past with these new Nakak Pearl Rebalancing changes.
These changes apply specifically to Mission 4 of Dog Days:
- All Kills now reward 2 Nakak Pearls.
- Players who helped kill an enemy (but didn’t strike the final blow) will now earn 1 Nakak Pearl per Assist.
To balance out the increased number of Pearls from Kills and Assists, Mission 4’s rewards have been reduced from 50 to 30 Nakak Pearls. (note: this does not apply to the first-time completion reward of 100 Pearls for Mission 4).
The overall change results in more Nakak Pearls for active players, and hopefully increased Nakak Pearls acquisition as a whole!
Tactical Alerts
Each Tactical Alert mission rewards the following once completed. We have also increased the amount of Nakak Pearls earned per mission compared to previous appearances!
- Mission 1: Suplex Kubrow Glyph + 50,000 Credits + 25 Nakak Pearls
- Mission 2: Dog Days War Display + 50,000 Credits + 50 Nakak Pearls
- Mission 3: Dropkick Drahk Emblem + 50,000 Credits + 75 Nakak Pearls
- Mission 4*: Hellshell Domestik Drone + 50,000 Credits + 100 Nakak Pearls
*Replaying Mission 4 earns you Nakak Pearls for each enemy you soak to smithereens, and now also for assists.
Nakak Pearls can be exchanged at Nakak in Cetus for extra Rewards, including Floofs, Captura Scenes, and more.

Hotfix 33.6.8 (2023-09-06)
- Fixed various pathing issues with Executioner Zura in Dog Days.
Hotfix 33.6.7 (2023-08-31)
- Fixed the Vigorous Swap Mod applying in Dog Days when switching between the Soaktron and Lob Blobs.
- With the inclusion of the Lob Blobs Secondary, this Mod just slipped by the “no Mods, Buffs, Companions, or Abilities” rules of Dog Days.
- Fixed a script error with the Lob Blobs tutorial popup in Dog Days.
Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)
- Fixed the incorrect mask colors for Executioner Vay Molta in Dog Days.
Hotfix 31.6.3 (2022-06-16)

Hotfix 31.6.2 (2022-06-15)
- Helminth Weapon Damage Invigorations will now no longer apply to Dog Days missions.
- Dog Days was always intended to have everyone on the same level to enjoy some summer fun! The ability to increase the Soaktron’s damage via Invigorations went against that principle, so it has been removed.
Update 31.6 (2022-06-09)
- Dog Days Returns!

Redeem from Nakak for 490 Pearls and give your favorite Rifle a refreshing new look, year-round.
Update 28.2 (2020-07-14)
- (Undocumented) Prices of all Nakak offerings reduced by 30% based on player feedback.

Hotfix 25.5.4 (2019-08-06)

- Introduced along with the Dog Days 2019 Tactical Alert.
