Inactivity Penalty

“Orokin secrets cannot remain secret forever! Start talking!” The following article/section is conjecture. Content is subjected to change/removal as the game progresses. Please do not use this article for critical in-game information.

Player inactivity levels in missions are monitored by the game. Being dead or inactive for more than 2 minutes disqualifies the player from either the end-of-mission reward or the end-of-rotation reward depending on the mission type. This event is highlighted with the message: “Not eligible due to inactivity”.

MechanicsEdit

• The penalty is triggered by the player not moving more than ~5 meters for 2 minutes, even if the player is killing enemies via abilities. This includes dying and not reviving for 2 minutes. Killing enemies with weapons however, will prevent inactivity penalty from kicking in by resetting the 2 minute timer.
  • The player is not considered inactive if they are standing in the extraction zone.
• Any affinity sharing and energy generation are halted until player activity resumes.
• Wukong's Celestial Twin will cease all activity and remain unmoving until player activity resumes.
  • The same goes to Excalibur Umbra while in operator mode and Tenno Specters, where in this case, they will kneel until player activity resumes.
  • A player's Sentinel will also stop firing.
• Gathered resources, credits, blueprints, etc. are not affected and kept as is.

NotesEdit

• As stated by DE support team, this system does not currently have an automatic kick timer.
