Netracells is a unique Mission type introduced in Update 35.0 (2023-12-13). They are vaults secured by Albrecht Entrati, located deep within his Laboratories on Deimos. They are heavily secured and patrolled by extremely high level enemy forces. They can be accessed by speaking to Tagfer in the Sanctum Anatomica.
Each clear consumes 1 Search Pulse which allows claiming mission rewards. 5 Search Pulses are granted each week, shared with Deep Archimedea, resetting at Monday 0:00 UTC. Players can still partake in Netracells missions once they have exhausted all rewards.
Access to this mission requires completion of the Whispers in the Walls quest.
Lore & History[]
General[]
Named after the Requiem Word for Decay, Netracells are the private research vaults of the prominent 
Orokin scientist, Albrecht Entrati. They were often sealed with hazardous Keyglyphs; unique keys designed by Albrecht as an added security measure to give the lab’s defenses an advantage, should a Keyglyph fall into unknown hands.
All manner of Albrecht's personal items and treasures were stored within the cells.
Post-Void Voyage[]
Mechanics[]
The Anchorhold
Players will spawn in the Anchorhold where they must pick up four Keyglyphs, which are required to open the Netracells but places a debuff on its bearer. There is no limit to how many Keyglyphs one Tenno can shoulder; each squad member can carry one each or a single player can carry all four.
After leaving the Anchorhold, players must search for the Netracell vault. There are three marked Pom-2 terminals that can be hacked to assist in narrowing down the vault's location. Once the vault is located and one of the four correct Keyglyphs is inserted, players must fend off waves of enemies within the marked location to reduce the Netracell Security Level. Each enemy killed while standing in the marked location (enemies themselves do not need to be in the area, only players) reduces the security level by 0.5%. At around 67% and 33%, a Necramite drone will spawn and halt progress until it is destroyed, and enemies will begin to spawn in more intensely at 25%.
Once the gauge is fully reduced, all nearby enemies (except Mocking Whisper or Scathing Whisper if present) will instantly die and players can open the Netracell to gain access to the valuables within, while also removing their Keyglyph's debuffs.
Keyglyph Effects[]
| Icon | Debuff | Effect |

|
Conductive | High-current electricity targets the bearer every few seconds. |

Restrictions[]
Considered to be extremely difficult with many debilitating restrictions and level 220 - 240 enemies, it is recommended to attempt this mission in full squads.
- Empowered Enemies:
- Restricted Respawns:
- Self-revive is not allowed. A player that dies is permanently out of commission and cannot be brought back, making death prevention and prioritizing reviving fallen Tenno from bleedout a necessity. A dead player may also lose their eligibility for rewards once the 2-minute Inactivity Penalty triggers.
Last Gasp's drain begins 2 seconds earlier with each use.- Bleedout timer reduces with each revive, down to a minimum of 5 seconds.
- Restricted Consumables:
- Deployable allied units such as Specters and On Call Crew cannot be used.
- However, Air Support Charges to summon Sentry Gun or Kahl Beacon can still be used.
- Team Bonus Consumables have a 3 minute cooldown.
- Deployable allied units such as Specters and On Call Crew cannot be used.
Rewards[]
Within the Netracells contains many resource containers that yield 
Credits and 
Entrati Obols. The main cache is guaranteed to drop an 
Entrati Lanthorn and one of the following: Archon Shards (
Crimson (
Tauforged), 
Amber (

Notes[]
- If a player dies or disconnects from the mission, any Keyglyphs in their possession will transfer to another player.
Tips[]
- The Netracell always spawns at the furthest point of the tileset, near the third hacking terminal and extraction. Much of the searching can be shortened by ignoring the first two terminals and following the waypoint toward the third terminal, scouting around the area after the Murmur tileset.
- The Murmur are vulnerable to Electricity and Radiation damage but resist Viral damage.
- Survivability is just as important as in Arbitrations and Archon Hunts. A fallen player can be revived in bleedout, but not once they "fully" died.
- Consider bringing the following Warframes:
- Healer ( Trinity, Oberon, Wisp, Garuda, Nekros, Harrow, Khora, Hildryn, Styanax, Dante, or Vazarin)
- High survivability ( Rhino, Nezha, Inaros, Chroma, Gara, Nyx, Revenant, Valkyr, Citrine, or Gauss)
- Specialized crowd controllers ( Saryn's Spores, Sevagoth's Gloom (Helminth subsumable), Titania's Lantern, Mag's Pull and Targeted Magnetize, or Vauban's Vortex)
- Warframes with Overguard like Styanax with Intrepid Stand or Dante's Light Verse and Final Verse are highly advised since Overguard counts as Health and absorbs every Keyglyph debuff, even the Energy drain.
- Healer (
- Equip survival mods ( Adaptation, Quick Thinking, and/or Rolling Guard).
- Avoid straying too far from the squad to ensure they can reach a player in bleed-out in time.
- Vazarin's Mending Soul is especially helpful at ensuring an ally gets up as quickly as possible and not miss the rewards by dying.
- Vazarin's
- Consider bringing the following Warframes:
- Due to the drastically increased enemy armor, bring abilities that can remove such defenses ( Ember's Fire Blast (Helminth subsumable), Nyx's Psychic Bolts, Hildryn's Pillage/ Blazing Pillage (Helminth subsumable), Xaku's The Lost, Caliban's Fusion Strike, Styanax's Tharros Strike (Helminth subsumable), or Unairu's Magnetic Flare and Caustic Strike).
- Note that Rogue Voidrigs and Rogue Bonewidows are immune to armor removal. Their Alloy Armor is vulnerable to Radiation damage.
- Note that Rogue Voidrigs and Rogue Bonewidows are immune to armor removal. Their Alloy Armor is vulnerable to
- Nova with reduced Ability Strength to increase enemy movement speed using Molecular Prime can greatly assist in having enemies rush into the Netracell Security Level kill zone and speed up the mission.
- A Keyglyph's health drain counts toward Chroma's Vex Armor.
Patch History[]
Hotfix 36.1.5 (2024-09-03)
- Fixed the new in-world VFX identifying the “lower security” area in Netracell missions not appearing for Clients.
Hotfix 36.1.4 (2024-08-28)
- Increased the visibility of the in-world VFX indicating the “Lower Security” marked zone in Netracell missions.
- Known issue: The zone VFX does not appear for Clients.
Hotfix 36.1.3 (2024-08-27)
- Netracell Changes & Fixes:
- Lowering the security level is now based on kills dealt by players that are within the marked zone, instead of the enemies killed within the marked zone.
- Players often shared the experience of squadmates killing enemies that are outside of the marked zone. As a way to address this common occurrence, kills now count as long as players are within the zone (even if the enemy dies outside of it).
- This change has also been applied to the “Kill Infested Close to the Cauldron to infuse it” stage of the Cambion Drift Assassination Bounty - now, players are only required to kill enemies from within the circle instead of needing enemies to be within range.
- Devshorts watchers may have expected this change with Koumei & The Five Fates update later this year, but this snuck in earlier than planned!
- Added in-world VFX to better communicate to players where the marked zone begins.
- Note: We are looking to increase the visibility of the border, as it is at times difficult to see, especially with an abundance of enemies around.
- Fixed enemies not spawning around the marked zone if a player roams the map far away from the objective, causing halts in mission progress.
- Fixed using a Cipher to hack into the Netracell terminal causing the door not to open, preventing players from beginning the mission.
Hotfix 36.0.3 (2024-06-20)
- Fixed being unable to rank up with the Cavia after earning Standing from Netracell missions when already at max for the current rank.
- If you were affected by this bug, you should be able to rank up now!
Update 36.0 (2024-06-18)
- As mentioned in Devstream #179, Deep Archimedea and Netracells now award Standing with the Cavia Syndicate. Deep Archimedea will award 15,000 Standing upon completion of the third mission with any modifiers (or none at all!) and Netracells will award 5,000 Standing per completed Netracell.
Hotfix 35.5.11 (2024-05-07)
- Fixes towards the search area map marker for spawned Necramite Drones not showing up in Netracell missions due to spawn positioning issues.
- This also helps prevent this issue from occurring in the Whispers in the Walls Quest. We are still investigating related issues for follow-up fixes.
Hotfix 35.5.9 (2024-05-01)
- Fixed Eximus Gruzzlings not dropping any items upon being destroyed in Netracell missions.
- Fixed more cases of Necramites rarely pulsing their blue VFX in Netracell missions.
Hotfix 35.5.4 (2024-04-05)
- Fixed crashes caused by Keyglyphs being reassigned to players after Host migration.
Hotfix 35.5.2 (2024-03-28)
- Fixed non-Legendary Arcanes showing up in the Netracell screen.
- These were removed from the Drop Tables in Dante Unbound to better balance the overall drop table. Read the full details in the official update patch notes!
Hotfix 35.5.1 (2024-03-27)
- Fixed a script error in the Netracell caused by carrying the Knifestep Keyglyph and using Transference/Merulina/Necramech.
- Additionally, fixed Knifestep not activating consistently while moving.

- Melee Influence
- Melee Vortex

2. Adjusted drop rates in light of the removal of the above Arcanes
