Series 3: GLASSMAKER
Teasers Teaser trailer of the series. Nightwave: Series 3 Teaser Trailer "Dreamers, someone's got it puzzled out again. Waves are buzzin'. New Glass is showing up. Souls getting' snapped up and up and [distorted] trapped up. No sign of our killer and not a soul... to tell us where he..."
Episodes Glassmaker Introduction "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." Inspecting Ayatan Eye The eye projects a flickering symbol from its faintingly glowing gem. —Description "Folklore has it these Ayatans used to hold memories. Nowadays, some Ostrons survive peddling Old War trinkets like this, harvested from the Tower." Inspecting Ostron Weapon No signs of significant wear. —Description "Not the tools of someone who works the Tower scaffolds. Was he expecting trouble?" Inspecting Dead Ostron Man "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 1st Corpus Data Log Transaction Declined 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." Inspecting Burned Ostron Note Shigg- Have you dropped your mind? We've chipped on those scaffolds together since we were kids. Filled your empty bowl with half of mine. Every time. That is our way, our law. I'm giving you until moonfall before Elder Konzu hears you've been skimming. —Kaleet Inspecting 2nd Corpus Data Log Decrypted Message 'By the Unum' nothing! I am connected, you understand? I am told your client can only be one person. How you found them I do not know but by the Void we will all pay for your ignorance. And now you've dragged me into this? That they even know my name is a gun to may head! Now: either you get me an Orokin-era Tubular Array or this broadcast unit is as good as dead. And so are we. —BV "That's it, I guess. Hmm. That energy resonance... You see it change? Looking for custom tech, but it sounds like our guy didn't have the means."

Mechanics

• During missions, a glowing orb may rarely spawn that "glasses" the enemies around it, similar to Void Fissures. 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 protuding from it.
  • Each glassed enemy killed awards 1 Cephalite Resonance and 30 Standing 30 standing.
• With each new episode of the Season being released, a new Simulacrum crime scene can accessed from the Nightwave menu.
  • In this simulation Tenno can search and examine evidence pieces.
  • These pieces are randomized per player, so the evidence you have will be different from the evidence another player has
  • Once the key evidence pieces have been found they are given the choice to enter a Memory Weave at the cost of 10 Cephalite Resonance.
  • In the Weave you are presented with a series of choices of three platforms, one of which corresponds to each piece of evidence you had previously uncovered (Unique to you - A walkthrough will not help here). Choosing the correct platform/evidence unlocks the next choice until all evidence pieces are exhausted.
    • You only have a total of 60 seconds to choose and select all correct answers in sequence, should you run out you have to repay the "fee" of 10 Cephalite Resonance to try another time.
  • After reaching the final platform you are giving a "conclusion" piece of evidence and 7,000 Standing 7,000 for completing the Episode's Simulacrum.
