Greed. Brutality. Oppression. True stories, all, and the System is full of them. Dreamers? You listening? The System needs you performing your good deeds for the day. Nora needs it. Needs you to act. To change things. Hear the news, Dreamers. Hear it, or be it. Your call. Because in Nora's System, no good act goes unrewarded. This is Nora Night. You're listening to Nightwave.
Nightwave is a pirate radio station hosted by the enigmatic Nora Night. In-game, Nightwave serves as a unique Syndicate system that offers various player rewards such as Mods, Resources, Cosmetic items and more through the completion of various mission challenges.
Apart from the reward system, Nightwave will also feature various stories that further expand upon WARFRAME's lore through their broadcasts.
Nightwave can be accessed from either the Orbiter's Navigation console, or on the Main Menu, through a banner on the lower right corner of the screen. Alternatively, players can interact with the Orbiter's Radio Scanner to the right of the ramp to access Nightwave.
The Nightwave system consists of daily and weekly challenges that players can complete to earn Nightwave Standing, which is used to rank up through Nightwave's 30 levels (15 in the Intermission I), with each level requiring 10,00010,000 to level up. Every level attained grants unique rewards, with much rarer rewards being available at much higher levels. Unlike with traditional Syndicate standing, Nightwave Standing is only used to increase Nightwave ranking, and any leftover Standing upon leveling up is carried over to the next level.
Upon reaching the maximum rank, players can prestige and "reset" their rank to 0. Each subsequent rank-up will then only unlock 15 Cred, a special currency to be spent in Cred Offerings. Players can only reach up to rank 30 after prestige for a total of 60 ranks (rank 60 after prestige for a total of 90 ranks in Intermission II).
Upon reaching Rank 30, players can reset their rank by earning additional standing
Nightwave's reward system is presented in limited-duration seasons called Series, with each Series featuring its own story and set of level-up rewards themed after its accompanying lore. Each Series lasts for 10 - 11 weeks. All players start a new Series at rank 0, regardless of the ranks achieved in previous Series. Ranks achieved during previous Series can be seen in the Tune In screen of the Nightwave console.
Storyless Intermissions are introduced during long downtime between Series, with variable maximum ranking and duration, and featuring both unique and from previous series rewards, allowing players who couldn't get them when they first appeared to have another chance of doing so.
Acts are challenges that players can complete to earn Standing to increase their rank in Nightwave. They fall under three categories of difficulty: Daily, Weekly, and Elite Weekly.
Daily Challenges are introduced daily, with each lasting 3 days, while 5 Weekly and 2 Elite Weekly Challenges are introduced on a weekly basis, and last for 7 days. Apart from the duration, the different Challenge tiers also offer different levels of difficulty, with Daily having the easiest tasks, and the Elite Weekly having the most difficult ones. All Daily Challenges reward 1,0001,000, Weeklies reward 4,5004,500 and Elite Weeklies reward 7,0007,000.
Any Weekly and Elite Weekly Acts that have not been completed before the next week's rotation will be put on reserve. Once you have have less than 3 current weekly Acts left to complete, any missed Acts from previous weeks will be available and marked as Recovered, three at a time. Once all missed Acts have been completed, they will no longer appear, and any further Acts can be recovered in the future week rotations.
Different from the similar Riven challenge: Counts total kills not consecutive, so you do not have to kill all enemies in one single slide, but can over multiple ones.
Agent Complete a Mission
1,0001,000
It appears that some special missions do not count towards this challenge:
Air It Out Deploy an Air Support Charge in a Mission
1,0001,000
The Air Support Charge blueprint will be automatically added to the Foundry after acquiring the Landing Craft Segment (blueprint acquirable from a Clan Dojo's Tenno Lab or directly bought built from the Market).
Was added during Season 2 of Nightwave
Arsonist Kill 150 Enemies with Heat Damage
1,0001,000
Does not require the pure damage type, any killing blow with a weapon that includes some of that damage in combination counts.
Child at Heart Play a game of Frame Fighter, Happy Zephyr, or Wyrmius
1,0001,000
Was added during Season 3 of Nightwave
Communicator Mark 5 Mods or Resources
1,0001,000
Marking a resource/mod is accomplished by targeting it and pressing the map marker (default G ) key.
Markers can still be placed on ones already picked up by the player (as long as not all of the squad have as well) by marking the residual light pillar (green for rare resources, bronze/silver/gold for mods of respective rarity, purple for blueprint drops).
Reactant is considered a valid resource (despite it being already system marked by default).
Confiscated Hijack a Crewship from the enemy
1,0001,000
This Challenge rewarded 4,5004,500 despite being a Daily challenge, but was corrected after Update 27.5.6.
Was added during Season 3 of Nightwave
Deep Impact Suspend 5 or more enemies in the air at once with a Heavy Slam Melee Attack
1,0001,000
Was added during Season 3 of Nightwave
Deep Freeze Kill 150 Enemies with Cold Damage
1,0001,000
Does not require the pure damage type, any killing blow with a weapon that includes some of that damage in combination counts.
Environmental kills (through nitrogen barrels) count as well.
Stealth and Front/Back Finishers can be used to complete this act (but not Ground Finishers).
Easiest type of finisher are stealth finishers, so either employ a stealth frame or simply sneak up on enemies.
Alternatively, use a frame with blinding abilities for frontal/backstab finishers.
Expressive Play 1 Emote
1,0001,000
Hold the radial gear menu key (default Q ), then while holding switch to the Emote section (press Right Mouse ) and select an emote to perform.
The Emote must be performed outside the Orbiter (however it may be performed in a social zone, such as a Relay or Clan Dojo).
Friendly Fire While piloting a hijacked Crewship, destroy 3 enemy Fighters
1,0001,000
Was added during Season 3 of Nightwave
Gatherer Collect 1,500 Resources
1,0001,000
Collected resources are counted upon mission completion.
Was added during Season 3 of Nightwave
Glider Kill 20 Enemies while Aim Gliding
1,0001,000

Grafitti Deploy a Glyph
1,0001,000
The Glyph gear item has to be equipped in the Arsenal before it can be deployed in a mission.
Hold the radial gear menu key (default Q ), then select the Glyph item.
Kuva Flood missions are a variation of Kuva Siphon, so they also count towards this challenge.
Was added during Season 2 of Nightwave
Earth Bounty Hunter Complete 5 different Bounties in the Plains of Eidolon
4,5004,500
Requires presence at completion of all stages of a Bounty to count, so if one loads in after the first stage has already been completed the challenge will not count it.
All bounties must be different. Repeating a bounty, even after completing a different one in-between, will not count.
The same tier of bounty in a different rotation will count.
If you have already done the mission recently, it only becomes available again after 7 days, potentially locking you out of completing the weekly Act solo due to the overlapping reset windows. However, other players can still take you to their mission if you are in a squad.
Flawless Clear a Railjack Boarding Party without your Warframe taking damage
4,5004,500
Was added during Season 3 of Nightwave
Forward Thinking Destroy a Crewship with Forward Artillery

Elite Sanctuary Onslaught waves count toward this challenge.
Tusk Thumpin' Kill a Tusk Thumper in the Plains of Eidolon
4,5004,500
Requires being within 200 meters of the Thumper when it dies.
Any variant of Tusk Thumper count toward this challenge
Was added during Season 2 of Nightwave
Unlock Relics Unlock 3 Relics
4,5004,500
—
Vault Looter Unlock 4 Orokin Derelict Vaults
4,5004,500
Orokin Vaults are located in any mission in the Orokin Derelict (except Orokin Derelict Defense) and require Orokin Derelict Keys to access them from the Star Chart.
Orokin Derelict Capture is the easiest mission to farm vaults on, as players can quickly kill the capture target and then search for the vault in peace.
Players can equip all 4 Dragon Keys in their gear simultaneously to open these vaults solo. Ensure you have a Warframe that can withstand the lowered health and shields (Inaros is recommended) and a weapon with high damage to compensate for lowered damage output.
Venus Bounty Hunter Complete 5 different bounties in the Orb Vallis
4,5004,500
Requires presence at completion of all stages of a Bounty to count, so if one loads in after the first stage has already been completed the challenge will not count it.
All bounties must be different. Repeating a bounty, even after completing a different one in-between, will not count.
The same tier of bounty in a different rotation will count.
Players who haven't completed the quest can still complete the challenge by having other players use their Apothics on the shrine (consider the Recruitment Chat channel to find a group).
An Apothic must be placed at the Silver Grove shrine, as in the Silver Grove quest. The shrine can be found in any mission (except Defense) that has the Grineer Forest tileset. Each player can use up to 2 Apothics of one type.
Lotus will tell players carrying an Apothic when the Silver Grove is nearby. The entrance is very small and narrow, so players must search carefully.
Player must be within the grove when the specter is killed for it to count towards completion of the challenge.
Hold Your Breath Survive over 30 minutes in Kuva Survival
Apart from the ranking rewards, Nightwave also features a Cred Offering store, where players can purchase various items such as Aura Mods and Cosmetics.
During each series of Nightwave, players can earn an exclusive special Cred currency by ranking up, which are then used to purchase the aforementioned Nightwave offerings. Note that after the end of the particular series, this currency will expire and the next Nightwave series will introduce a new currency to spend. Any unspent Cred after a particular series can be sold from your inventory for 50005000 each.
During the downtime between Nightwave series (including Intermissions), the store will be inaccessible until the next series begins.
These items can be purchased using Nightwave's current CredCred. Note that these items are on 7-day rotation, so not all of them will be offered at any given point.
Series 3 introduces a mysterious Cephalon known as the "Glassmaker", named for crystallizing its victims into glass, a form of punishment used in the old Orokin era.
This series introduces a new interactive mechanic where players must perform detective work on the Glassmaker's victims to uncover the mystery behind the murderer.

Glassmaker Introduction
Nora Night: "Heard of those cubes? You know - "Cephalons" right? Probably got one a bit-cracked kissin' up to you all the time? See, in the old days, crime and punishment was all in the hands of those Orokin judges, the Seven. Mercy was a quick flash of the Jade light... But - if they wanted to make an example, they'd suck up your soul and make you a prisoner of the glass, forever. Seems like magic to us nowadays, but dreamers... someone's got it puzzled out again. Waves are buzzing, new glass is showing up. Souls getting snapped up and trapped up. All we've got to go on is this crime-simula I pulled from the weave. No sign of our killer and not a soul to tell us where they went..."
"Well, take a look around. See if you can suss out any clues about whoever this... 'Glassmaker' might be."

"Used to be a middle-aged Ostron, but he's been... degraded. From the inside out. Glassed... but not all the way. You seeing that left hand? Burned. Weirdest of the weird? What's left of him is... resonating. Like... singing some weird-assed song. Not diggin' this. Not. At. All."
Inspecting Ayatan Eye
The eye projects a flickering symbol from its faintingly glowing gem.
"Folklore has it these Ayatans used to hold memories. Nowadays, some Ostrons survive peddling Old War trinkets like this, harvested from the Tower."
The symbol depicts either an eye, a dagger, or a pentagram.
Inspecting Ostron Weapon
No signs of significant wear.
"Not the tools of someone who works the Tower scaffolds. Was he expecting trouble?"
The weapon can be a dagger, a sword, or a spear.

You remind me of this Venusian kid I knew, pitched me a big score reselling K-charges on the low market. Look at all those munitions, he said, like a threshcone harvest!
Kid was talking about those lanes of unexploded Grineer field ordnance. Just drift up and pluck those detonators off, real gentle. Easy money! You heard of him? See?
Easy money packs hard truth.
"Community, sharing, it's ingrained in Ostron culture. Unusual that one would be looking to make a score of their own outside their commune markets."

"Fine. You talk to daffy old Shigg. If you favor the opinions of the low."
"Of criminals. The depraved."
"Do you know what he did, old Shigg? Set out a selfish play against his clade. Willing and able to draw blood for it, too."
"A foul necrocapitalist, a clear violator of the 401st and 632nd legem!"
"To your association I am now witness."
A demon, self-made
Lived too long in the shadow of the Tower, I had allowed myself the belief that all things Orokin were good, as the Unum is good. Not so. The past is no tree of plenty, not all of its fruits sweet.
Ah, that this should be the last thing I learn: 'not so.' 'Not so,' learned at the hand of a demon self-made...

Nora Night: "Glass is still turning up, Dreamer. But you already knew that, didn't you? Probably ran into a few 'Cephalites' yourself? Partial glass, like a Cephalon interrupted. Well, it seems they're on the move now, changing course. Why? Here's the only lead we have. A new crime scene I managed to grab before the Taxmen moved in. Solo gig on a Corpus A-train. You know what to do. Work the evidence. Piece it together. See how it connects. It's the only way back to that twisted weave. It's the only way to find out who's behind this and put a stop to it."

The Glassmaker: "Oh dear. We meet again. I really am in the middle of something."
"I find chaos... unsettling."
"Corpus dogma demands self-interest."
"Look at the chaos that spewed from that."
"Broken laws, black marketeering, a broken-hearted mother and a collapsed family empire."
"Everyone is guilty of the good they did not do - if one only looks."
"And I see everything. What to do. What to do..."
An ancient doom
With one mistake, the spreadsheet of my life tallies to a net ill. I have loosed a whirlwind upon the System - all life exposed beneath its mad and furious gaze.
A dead thing furious at death. A lost thing that would steal meaning from all life. An ancient doom, and I have welcomed it in.

Nora Night: "Been nagging at me. The word 'legem', that Orokin word for law. I put the feelers out. My network, Little Duck's, the Quills. Dreamer, I think I know who the Glassmaker is... or... who he was... Nihil. Every Ceph you ever met was once a person, before they met him. He made them all. For them. For the Orokin. As a punishment that would never end. Now that Vondu's built him that broadcaster? He's lookin' to graduate from murder to mass murder. Nihil's gonna go wide."

Introduction
Nora Night: "Nihil. Worse than an executioner, worse even than an Excruciator. When my tired ol' grandma didn't have time for nonsense Nihil was the bogeyman she said was gonna come put naughty Nora in a bottle. But Nihil was real. He's still here, somehow, after all this time... and still passing judgment. We've got another victim, crystallized in exile. This one feels different. Can't put my finger on why. Get on up now. Determine his pattern. Gather the clues and get back into Nihil's Weave. We can't find him and there ain't no lockin' him back in whatever bottle he came from."

Atomos
This particle cannon generates a condensed beam of super-heated plasma designed to melt rock to ore, and enemies to molten slag.
Kraken
The Kraken is a heavy pistol of Grineer design that fires two quick shots with a single pull of the trigger. Skilled marksmen will appreciate the value in this deadly accurate weapon.
Viper
A full-auto pistol known as the most compact and lightweight weapon of the Grineer arsenal. Though it has a small Magazine Capacity, the Viper has a very high Fire Rate and ultra-fast reload times thanks to a simplified magazine design.

Introduction
Nora Night: "Dreamer, meet Cutter. This is the guy our Grineer victim was trying to contact. If Gral was part of a Solaris United whisper network then Cutter must have been his handler. So this was his bolthole. Look around, let's see what we can learn."

Inspecting Standard Data Tablet
A standard data tablet containing a personnel file for Gral/Shigg/Vondu and several other victims of the Glassmaker.
"Files on Shigg, Vondu and Gral - the other 3 victims. Cutter made a case for them being... used. Shigg was to invent some kind of device. Vondu built it. Gral... had the encrypted access so the device could broadcast wide. But broadcast what?"
Inspecting Encrypted Data Tablet
A data tablet containing several encrypted dossiers.
"Dossiers on those Cutter suspected of being Solaris United, and closed dossiers on... the ones he confirmed. Some repoed, others used in Nef Anyo's Tribute experiments. Cutter wasn't SU - the opposite. He was being paid to identify and round up SU operatives."
Inspecting Transmitter Component
Part of an unknown communications device intended for transmissions in the 11/33/88 mGal range.
"Looks like Cutter delivered the transmitter Shigg designed and Vondu built to... dammit. Somewhere. It's built to clone some kind of signal - holopresence maybe? - to multiple locations at once. Powerful, powerful signal. I do not like this."

The Digi-Drive is colored red, blue, or yellow.
In the Memory Weave
The Glassmaker:"You want to know why I'm doing this. Your friend - Nora - wants to know. Naughty little Nora. Afraid I would find her all alone and put her in a bottle. Yes. Cutter and his friends have been quite helpful in opening my eyes and ears to the modern System."
"Why oppose me? We both prize Justice, defend it. What justice do you imagine enacting if I have to put you in a bottle?"
"Do you know mercy, Tenno? I almost spared Cutter. He was a traitor, but to betray one must belong. Cutter never did. He was a nation of one, and to that he was truly loyal."
"But traitor he was and for all his proud words he begged at the end. And I... killed him, I suppose. Killed what he was. But you kill, too, constantly. Doesn't put you in much of a position to judge."
"I have all that I need. Order will no longer be upheld one miscreant at a time. I am amplified. Soon I shall be everywhere and with it... order."
"What a fine example each and every Tenno shall make, you killers of foes, friends and family. And naughty Nora. Her role won't change terribly much, but her agenda... very different. A voice of truth and order, sermonizing tirelessly, forever. Fully aware of what she has become. Goodbye, Tenno. Our next meeting will be our last."
Cutter's final note 'To whoever finds this'
I'm not proud. Never have been. Just angry. It's all I ever had, and now I can let it go, knowing I made this happen. The System took it all from me so the balance is squared. Let Nihil do what he will. His version of order can't be any worse than debt or war.
The traitors, the deceivers, will all get their time before him. Myself included - the Solaris turncoat.
I've played my part. Everything is in place. I know what awaits me. And I don't care. I was worth it.
Maybe the terror will keep people honest. Maybe that'll be a better life. Better than the one Vox took from me.
Every 24 ± 2 minutes server time a glowing orb will spawn while in mission and "glass" an enemy near it, similar to Void Fissures. The glass fissure is not static: after glassing one enemy it might disappear and then reappear near another group of enemies, seemingly following the movements of the player so that the glassification always happens near them. This process repeats until 5 enemies have been glassed, after which it will disappear until the next 24 ± 2 minutes.
These glassed enemies are invulnerable and can only be killed by attacking the armor's weakpoint, identified by its slightly different coloration and spiky crystals protruding from it. Each glassed enemy killed gives 3030 standing and has a chance to drop 1 Cephalite Resonance, up to a maximum of 150150 standing per appearance.
Glassed enemies can (and most often do) explode on death, dealing damage to units in their range (both Tenno and enemies).
The Cephalites can spawn on any ground or Railjack mission that isn't a Void Fissure.
The player cannot carry more than 20 Cephalite Resonances.
With each new episode of the Series being released, a new Crime-simula scene can accessed from the Nightwave menu.
In this simulation, players can search and examine evidence pieces.
The text and symbols on these pieces are randomized per player, so the evidence you have will be different from the evidence another player has. It can be helpful to collate a screenshot of all evidence frames for easy reference during the Memory Weave.
Once the key evidence pieces have been found, players are given the choice to enter a Memory Weave at the cost of 5 Cephalite Resonance.
In the Weave, the player is presented with a series of choices of three platforms, one of which corresponds to each piece of evidence. Choosing the correct platform/evidence unlocks the next choice until all evidence pieces are exhausted. Choosing the incorrect platform/evidence will cause the platform to break and the player to fall out of bounds, ejecting them from the Weave. Falling off the edge or missing any platform will teleport the player back onto the main platform.
The order of the questions given is always random.
The player has 60 seconds to choose and select all correct answers in sequence.
Abilities and aim gliding cannot be used in the weave.
Failing the weave requires the player to repay the "fee" of 5 Cephalite Resonance to retry again.
After reaching the final platform, the player is rewarded with a "conclusion" piece of evidence and 7,0007,000 standing for completing the Episode's Crime-simula.
Reattempting an already cleared Crime-simula will not yield additional awards, and will still consume Cephalite.
"Hey there, Dreamers. You hearing me? Looks like things are kicking off. Mark the frequency. The time has come to act together. Acts of defiance. Acts of generosity. Acts of sacrifice. This is how we turn the system round. Nora sleeps better knowing her dreamers are out there, workin' to lift us up."

Introduction to The Wolf of Saturn Six
"It's a bad moon, Dreamers. Can you feel it? Hm. From my perch, at Nightwave, I listen at the windows of the wealthy and well-to-do. Ever heard of Saturn Six? News to me too. Turns out the Grineer have a Max-Pen floating some six leagues deep in the gas. No one knew about it... 'cause no one ever busted out. Until now, right? Some Grineer meathead they started calling 'The Wolf'. On account of him taking up howlin' at night. Decrypts say he was a model prisoner, doing the time. Fabbin' bombs with the rest of his con brothers. Apple of the Warden's eye even. But something cracked, and now he's out there on the loose... the so called Wolf of Saturn Six."
"Greed. Brutality. Oppression. True stories, all, and the System is full of them. Dreamers? You listening? The System needs you performing your good deeds for the day. Nora needs it. Needs you to act. To change things. Hear the news, Dreamers. Hear it, or be it. Your call. Because in Nora's System, no good act goes unrewarded. This is Nora Night. You're listening to Nightwave."
Nightwave Second Diorama
"It's late. You still with me, Dreamers? Soon we'll see the sun curve over the Venusian sky. A hot blue taste. What's keeping you up? For me, it's the gap-waves, all abuzz with the doings of a certain big, bad, Wolf. Why didn't he run? Why didn't he hit that Solar Rail as far as it would take him? Instead, he's stalking those soul-bare, money-huggers 'round Jupiter. My birds are sayin' the Corpus net got flipped. A system-wide message from the Wolf. DELIVER GHARN. Where'd a meathead learn a trick like that? And who's Gharn? Baby, you can guess... he's the Warden of Saturn Six! A big man, too well dressed for his station, too well fed for his rank. And he's in the solar wind too... think he knows how the Wolf came to howlin'?"
Nightwave Third Diorama
"An ice-night in Neptune, Dreamers. Hmm. Hold yours close and true, and hey... if you're between stops... Nora knows that mood. But our Wolf... he's not alone tonight. Add this with me: the howler breaks out of Saturn Six. But get this... the howling doesn't stop... someone else takes to singing that cruel song. The Wolf knows why, and it called him back to the scene of the crime. Warden Gharn's little side business. Mmm. Sellin' Grineer lemons for a Corpus squeeze. So freedom's got no hold on the Wolf, does it? No. It's the sisters and brothers from the joint that matter to him.. The pack. We both know what happens next... when a Wolf finds its pack... they hunt."
Nightwave Fourth Diorama
"The message read: GHARN IS YOURS. An anonymous gift. I know what this looks like. But the Wolf's too cold for revenge. The Grineer appoint Wardens for life. The Wolf had no choice but to shorten the term. Not payback, just 'never again'. But it was too easy. Days like these, an easy meal means you're taking someone's bait. Alad V's. The devil in a Corpus cloak. Got the Wolf in an all-new prison, baby. Only this one's not made of bars, it's made of chemicals... hmmm...guess we all know someone like that. The whole lot has been transformed into these 'Amalgam Dogs'... his words. Hybridized, juiced on some Sentient strain. No nice way to put it. I think the pack is coming after you, Dreamers."
Nightwave Fifth Diorama
"Passing by that MercuryJunction... shimmering hot, tonight. Word on the grid is the devil's got his due... hmm. Should have known. We saw the signs, didn't we? Sure. The Wolf got tough... tougher. But more than that, the Wolf got smart. Got a pack together. Worked the Corpus crypto. He's his own man now. Leavin' no more tracks. Is this the end? Dreamers, I hope so... but if I were you, I'd keep an ear out... 'cause one of these days you just might hear that howl come round your shoulder. This is Nora Night, signing off. Stay deadly, Dreamers."

In addition to Acts, reputation can also be earned by finding and capturing three Saturn Six Fugitives that spawn randomly in missions, granting 5050 per Capture. If the player waits too long before capturing them, they will die and no reputation will be given but it will still count as them being eliminated. A secondary objective labeled "Fugitives Eliminated" will appear when they spawn in a mission. Fugitive groups can spawn multiple times in a single mission. These enemies appear in the "unaffiliated" category in the codex, as despite being Grineer biologically, they are fugitives.
The Wolf of Saturn Six can randomly spawn in most missions similar to Assassins, acting as a field boss. He has a 4% chance to spawn in missions below level 20, and 6% for missions level 20 and above.[1] Defeating him has a chance to reward a component for his signature hammer, the Wolf Sledge.
Intermission began on June 12th, 2019 and lasted until July 5th, 2019.
This mini-series lacks an involved story, serving as an interim gap between Series 1 and 2 for rank rewards. It has 15 Ranks using Nora CredNora Cred as currency, and cannot prestige after max rank for additional Creds. Due to the reduced ranks in this Intermission, Weekly Acts are worth 6,0006,000 and Elite Weekly Acts 9,0009,000.
Within our darkest recesses, there lives a beacon of hope.
Some call him a gift. Others a miracle. He emerged from that vile plague of horrors not just unsullied, but immaculate. In his blood, he bears the power to heal the sick, to revive the fallen, to cure the Grineer of their rot and disease.
Series 2 introduced Arlo, an Infested survivor with a mysterious power to heal others of various sicknesses.

The Emissary Introduction
"Dreamers, you know 'bout the Infestation, right? Spreads like a month-old salad with genocidal intent. Swallows everything it touches... makin' monsters from meat, or metal, or both. Well, these days it's mostly contained. Spores as old as stone. Derelicts drifting in forgotten orbits. So it was with old Kenga. Somehow exposed and promptly cast out. Woke up on a blessed cage-drop down to Eris. But, should some sad soul catch the grey-vein, well... every culture has its plague dogma. But maybe there's something more to this 'Infestation', something we all missed. Turns out... Kenga didn't find Void in that hell-nest, no. He found a survivor! Little boy. Arlo. Died three years ago, yet there he was. Lost his voice but gained his life... and somehow... saved old Kenga with the slightest touch of his slender hand."
The Emissary Second Diorama
"My mother was a cynical woman. Smart as she was cruel. Nora, she said, no disease spreads faster or further than the ones in our head. She was talkin' about ideas. Mine was that old Kenga and his wonder boy would've been splayed out in some bio-trader's lab by now. Or blood-studies for the Grineer command. Dreamers, I was wrong. Kenga's grey-vein was just the beginning. White lung, parasitic liver, clone rot, even bone spurs. Turns out this kid, Arlo, is a healer. So many questions... an idea like that is like a flare dropped in vol-gas. Now the sick and curious are flocking the Rails to see this 'Emissary of Eris'. And who speaks for Arlo the mute? Why old Kenga, of course. No more the outcast, it is he who is spreading the word of Arlo's gift. Even you, Dreamers, may soon hear it."
The Emissary Third Diorama
"Whether you're 'bad news first', or 'bad news last', tonight I got you covered 'cuz bad news is all we got. This Emissary's word is spreading fast. A hot fever. Some are going to extremes to prove their devotion. Trying the spores for themselves. And they're finding it too. Some lunatic spikers jacked the Solar-Nav and flagged the Derelict zones for all to see. Old haulers and new hopefuls out there are proving just how smart most people aren't. Yet Kenga's ranks are growing. Arming themselves for the safety and security of our Emissary. Setting the stage for a great assembly to come. Buzz is... buzz is... Arlo will break his silence. 'Til then, Dreamers, check under the bed. A fresh brood is sprouting up along the Rails. And it seems they have the scent of those blessed by the Emissary's touch..."
The Emissary Fourth Diorama
"Y'all did see this coming, right, Dreamers? Surely did... but not like this. A grand gathering before the Emissary and his speaker. Standing room only. Bodies pressed to bodies, a great, overheated mass breathing as one. Waiting for their beloved healer-mute to speak. Kenga hushed the crowd. He shed his mask and... there he was. Laughing at them. Sick as the day he was banished. More. His retribution was at hand, born of a virus spreading further and faster than spore and space ever could have. Arlo. And in that stunned silence, Arlo himself made a sound! Not a word, but a stifled gag. A swollen choke, as he opened his mouth. And there it was. Pointed. Black. A tongue... but not. Snaking and bulging and splitting him apart. I looked away then. I had to. But that sound stays with me. Not the sound of human terror, bad as it was, but what came after. The grinding wet, the rattling flutter... the congregation converted in the truest sense. I... Dreamers, you all got your work cut out for you. Though this 'movement' has lost its head, the body still lingers."
The Emissary Fifth Diorama
"It's a bad cycle, Dreamers. Arlo's devoted had a party, and you're on cleanup detail. Derelicts are threatening every settlement from Mercury to Eris, and my sources say you're uniquely qualified to contain them. Meanwhile, I've been thinking. Not about Kenga, but about what he actually found down there. Arlo, whatever he was. Some kind of lure? An evolution to bait us in? Is there more to this Infestation than fangs and acid? I know what my mother would say. The people saw what they wanted, heard what they had hoped... and human nature did the rest. Still, I'm hearing rumors. The mass on Eris is in turmoil, and nobody, but nobody wants to check it out. It's seething. And if it's not thinking about this whole ordeal, baby, it's feeling it. This is Nora Night, saying for now... Dreamers... so long and hold on! And listen... Should you happen upon some vacant-eyed little kid someday... whatever you do, don't take 'em home."

Devotees can randomly spawn in missions after a Tenno is downed. Functioning as allies, they will appear next to the downed player and revive them. They will remain until they die, providing firing support and continue to revive any downed player and even their Companions.
Bleedout will always trigger should the Devotee spawn.
Following Episode 3, enemy units called Zealot Heralds and Zealot Proselytizer can spawn randomly in missions or Landscapes. They appear in pairs, and can revive each other when downed. Once both zealots are downed, they disappear and award 5050 standing.
Following Episode 4, the Zealots are accompanied by a Zealot Baptizer and award 200200 standing.
Following Episode 4, Infestation Outbreaks are accompanied by Emissary Derelicts. Completing three outbreak missions on a planet rewards one Zealot Derelict Code, which is needed to enter the Derelict. These missions house two new Infested enemies, the Undying Flyer and Leaping Thrasher, and completing the mission awards 1,5001,500 standing.
The code can only be obtained once per planet. There are always two Infestation Outbreaks active per day, meaning the two codes can be obtained per day.
Following Episode 5, Assassination missions can appear as potential Emissary Derelict missions. The boss of the assassination missions is the Zealoid Prelate, which can drop components for the Pathocyst glaive.
