| − | Informers are Grineer spy drones introduced in the [[Informant Event]] starting on July 5th, 2013. They appear as miniature weather balloon-esque sentry drones that float in place on random points of the map, or drift around slowly. Informers cannot attack, or even move aside from hovering slightly in the same space. Informers are equipped with Orokin cloaking tech, which they will activate upon being damaged in order to escape, meaning they must be killed with the first shot. The weak spot on the Informers is the orange sac-like region. Informers were removed completely after the completion of the event. It is unknown if they will make a return in future. |

Informers were Grineer surveillance drones exclusive to the Informant Event. Players were tasked to locate and destroy any Informers they would encounter during a Grineer mission. Although they were stationary and could not attack, Informers were equipped with Orokin cloaking technology which would activate upon the slightest amount of damage, be it from players or the Grineer. Thus, players had to destroy Informers in one shot to make sure they did not escape. Informers were removed once the event concluded and were succeeded by Regulators.
Notes
- Informers will disrupt the player's minimap when the player is nearby, which can be used by players to locate the Informer(s). They can also negate
Enemy Radar at a radius slightly larger than its minimap disruption radius. - Solo runs typically spawn more Informers than group runs.
- Given a large enough radar range, it is possible to detect an Informer with Enemy Radar by staying out of its range with altitude.
- Sonar can spot them even when they are disrupting your map.
Trivia
- Though they are ordinarily stationary once spawned, using Switch Teleport on them reveals that they are situationally mobile, as they will float back to their original position.
- Informers spawn close to the ground before floating up to their proper heights.
- Informers will respond to your movements and "look" at you, turning towards your direction while staying in the same position.
