Nightwave banner - Series 3
View Acts Currently Available List


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.

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 in the Intermission I), with each level requiring ReputationLarge 10,000 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).

NightwavePrestige

Upon reaching Rank 30, players can reset their rank by earning additional standing

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 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

Acts are challenges that players can complete to earn Script error: The function "Syndicate" does not exist.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 ReputationLarge 1,000, Weeklies reward ReputationLarge 4,500 and Elite Weeklies reward ReputationLarge 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 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.

During the downtime between Nightwave series (including Intermissions), the store will be inaccessible until the next series begins.

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..."  (download, history)
  • "Well, take a look around. See if you can suss out any clues about whoever this... 'Glassmaker' might be."  (download, history)

In the Memory Weave

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...

  • "'Legem'? That's an Orokin word, means law. Ain't nobody usin' that word these days. He sounds friendly enough, but listen to that anger. Anger like that only builds. The soul he took held a clue. My gut says the only way you're trackin' the Glassmaker is from inside that maze. Bad news is the trail's gone cold. But the bad vibes snakin' up my spine says it won't be for long. Stay in touch, Dreamer. The Glassmaker's just gettin' started. I can feel it."  (download, history)

Introduction
  • 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."  (download, history)

Running this wheel... it is (pointless/futile/a joke).

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."  (download, history)

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."  (download, history)

  • Nora Night: "That's the pattern. Nihil's a judge, working to a long dead playbook, without a shred of mercy. Almost like he's a precept, instead of a person. Every society has its misfits - you and me included - but a guilty Grineer with a moral compass. Next level. Some go their whole lives and never do nothin' like that. Respect. You're close. Each time Nihil glasses, he reveals. We just gotta get ahead of him."  (download, history)

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.

Mechanics

  • Every 24 ± 2 minutes server time a glowing orb spawned while in missions and "glassed" an enemy near it, similar to Void Fissures. The glass fissure was not static: after glassing one enemy it might have disappeared and then reappeared near another group of enemies, seemingly following the movements of the player so that the glassification always happened near them. This process repeated until 5 enemies had been glassed, after which it disappeared until the next 24 ± 2 minutes.
    • Glassing could occur on any ground or Railjack mission that isn't a Void Fissure.
    • These glassed enemies were invulnerable until the spiky crystals protruding from it were destroyed. Each glassed enemy killed gave ReputationLarge 30 standing and had a chance to drop 1 Cephalite Resonance, up to a maximum of ReputationLarge 150 standing per appearance.
  • With each new episode of the Series being released, a new Crime-simula scene could be accessed from the Nightwave menu.
    • In this simulation, players could search and examine evidence pieces.
    • The text and symbols on these pieces as well as their locations were randomized per player, so the evidence one had differed from the evidence another player had. Each piece of evidence had three variations. It was helpful to collate a screenshot of all evidence frames for easy reference during the Memory Weave.
    • Once the key evidence pieces had been found, players were given the choice to enter a Memory Weave at the cost of 5 Cephalite Resonance.
      • In the Weave, the player was presented with a series of choices of three platforms, one of which corresponded to each piece of evidence. Choosing the correct platform/evidence unlocked the next choice until all evidence pieces were exhausted. Choosing the incorrect platform/evidence caused 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 teleported the player back onto the main platform.
      • The order of the questions given was always random.
      • The player had 60 seconds to choose and select all correct answers in sequence.
      • Abilities and aim gliding could not be used in the weave.
      • Failing the weave required the player to repay the "fee" of 5 Cephalite Resonance to retry again.
      • After reaching the final platform, the player was rewarded with a "conclusion" piece of evidence and ReputationLarge 7,000 standing for completing the Episode's Crime-simula.
        • Reattempting an already cleared Crime-simula did not yield additional awards, and still consumed Cephalite.
  • Completion of Episode 5's Crime-simula and memory weave transitioned the player into a boss fight with Nihil.
    • After completing the memory weave, a crystal appeared in the Crime-simula that lead directly to the Nihil fight. Reattempting the boss fight did not require Cephalite Resonance.
    • Completion of other episode's crime-simulas were not required to enter the Nihil fight.
    • Defeating Nihil awarded an inbox message containing the Vitrica Vitrica Blueprint and Nihil's Oubliette Orbiter Decoration.

Mechanics

  • In addition to Acts, reputation can also be earned by finding and capturing three Saturn Six Fugitives that spawn randomly in missions, granting ReputationLarge 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.[2] Defeating him has a chance to reward a component for his signature hammer, the WolfSledge Wolf Sledge.
  • Toward the end of this series, a Tactical Alert was issued which features an Assassination mission for the Wolf.

Mechanics

  • 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 ReputationLarge 50 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 ReputationLarge 1,500 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 Pathocyst glaive.
