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.
Mechanics[]
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 during Intermission I), with each level requiring 10,000 to level up. Every level attained grants unique rewards, with rarer rewards being available at higher levels, while duplicate Nightwave-exclusive rewards are converted to
50 . 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 will automatically prestige, "resetting" their rank to 0. Each subsequent rank-up will then only unlock 15 Cred, a special currency to be spent in Cred Offerings. The amount of additional ranks varies between Series. If the rank cap is reached, any additional Standing earned will be stockpiled until the cap is raised, which will then be distributed to new ranks.

Upon reaching Rank 30, players start gaining standing in "prestige" ranks.
Series[]
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 contains five Episodes narrated by Nora Night which gradually unlock over time. 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.
Each Series and Intermissions have varying lengths that can last up to several months.
Acts[]
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 1,000, Weeklies reward
4,500 and Elite Weeklies reward
7,000.
Any Weekly and Elite Weekly Acts that have not been completed before the next week's rotation will be put on reserve. Once the player has fewer 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.
Possible known challenges for an Act are:

Cred Offerings[]
Apart from the ranking rewards, Nightwave also features a Cred Offering store, where players can purchase various items such as Vauban components, Orokin Catalyst, Orokin Reactor, Nitain Extract, Aura and Conclave Mods, weapon blueprints and skins, Warframe Cosmetics, and Orbiter Decorations.
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 the inventory for 5000 each.
During the downtime between Nightwave series (including Intermissions), the store will be inaccessible until the next series begins.
Note that the shop's items are on 7-day rotation, so not all of them will be offered at any given point.

Mechanics[]
- In addition to Acts, reputation can also be earned by finding and capturing three Saturn Six Fugitives that spawn randomly in missions, granting
50 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.
- Following Episode 4, the Wolf became Sentient-turned, and has a chance to drop the Saturn Six Mask.
- Toward the end of this series, a Tactical Alert was issued which features an Assassination mission for the Wolf.

- 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
50 standing.

200 standing.
