CODEX

Monster of the Vallis and protector of Enrichment Labs, this massive Orb appears to be invulnerable.

I am patient,
I am still.
When I descend,

it's you I'll kill.

—Profit-Taker's introduction

Profit-Taker Orb is a large Raknoid creature found atop the Enrichment Labs in the Orb Vallis, acting as one of the Grand Bosses of the landscape. The gargantuan creature can only be engaged during the Heist with Vox Solaris, requiring the rank of Old Mate within Solaris United.

The orb incorporates Sentient technology within its shields that are put into overcharge by satellites and is protected by an extremely durable carapace reserved for Corpus Ships, making it seemingly invulnerable.

Behavior

Archgun Damage Resistance

Profit-Taker Orb possesses a flat 50% damage resistance towards most Archguns. Archguns with AoE damage effects like  Kuva Grattler,  Grattler,  Mausolon and  Kuva Ayanga have their own unique damage resistance applied when used against the boss, but they are adjusted to keep their damage output still roughly ~50% of their full potential.

 Corvas Prime does not currently possess any damage reduction against the boss.

In the Enrichment Labs

If a Heist against it is not currently in progress, Profit-Taker can be found idling on top of the entrance to the Enrichment Labs, overlooking the courtyard. It will remain passive until the third alarm level, at which point the Orb begins firing mortar projectiles at nearby Tenno. However, the Profit-Taker Orb will not move to engage the Tenno in any other ways and will remain on top of the Enrichment Labs.

In the Profit-Taker Heist

Main article: Profit-Taker Heist

Profit-Taker possesses her own line of Heist Bounties relating to all the steps taken to bring the Mother Orb down. Although the theme implies otherwise, the Profit-Taker can only be fought when the player had reached the third and the fourth stage of the Heist, and they will engage approaching Tenno with its wide arsenal of attacks.

• Mounted Turret: An invulnerable Turret attached under the Orb's main body continuously fires at nearby Tenno. The Turret has high accuracy and acts independently of the Orb's other attacks.
• Leg Discharge: The Orb channels electricity into one of its legs and unleashes it at nearby Tenno, with a high chance of inflicting  Electricity status in the process. Profit-Taker only uses this attack if a Tenno runs in front of one of its legs and cannot use it on any of its destroyed legs. This move can be used independently of the Orb's other attacks.
• Rocket Barrage: The Orb fires a volley of rockets from the top of its head, that automatically home in on the Tenno, dealing high damage as they explode.
• Repelling Shields: The Orb summons giant rectangular energy shields all around itself, then pushes them outwards. Any Tenno in the shields' path will be pushed back and knocked down, and will also take a moderate amount of damage. The shields spawn depending on how high above ground the target is: if the target is 50 meters above ground, the Orb will summon the shields 50 meters above itself. Later in the fight, Profit-Taker can use an advanced version of this attack, where it becomes capable of summoning an additional shield barrier on top of the other.
• Laser Sweep: The Orb fires four laser beams at the ground, which progressively travel further, in a sweeping motion, until they reach the Tenno. While powerful, this move is slow, travels in a single direction, and thus can be easily dodged by running away from the beams' path.
• EMP Slam: The Orb slams the ground with its main body; the impact creates three radial shockwaves, dealing high  Magnetic damage and status to any Tenno in the way. Profit-Taker tends to use this move only when a Tenno passes under its main body. Additionally, this attack is briefly telegraphed, and the shockwaves can be dodged by ducking under or jumping over them.
• Mortar Cannon: The Orb opens the top of its head to reveal a massive cannon, firing a single, powerful mortar shot, similar to the one it uses when encountered in the Enrichment Labs. Upon touching the ground or a target, the mortar explodes in a large area of effect, outlined in red at the point of impact, dealing a high amount of damage and is guaranteed to knock down any Tenno caught in the blast. Profit-Taker can use this move in two different ways:
  1. If shield pylons are active: the Orb fires the mortar in the same manner as when encountered in the Enrichment Labs.
  2. If shield pylons are inactive: the Orb fires the mortar directly at the target. This has its pros and cons, as while this version of the attack is very dangerous, Profit-Taker can also be tricked into firing the mortar so that it doesn't explode nearby (for example, staying airborne as the Orb fires the mortar, so that instead of exploding on the ground, the mortar continues its course and explodes far away from the battlefield).
• Shield Pylons: Each time the Orb recovers its adaptive shielding, it launches 4 to 6 pylons in the sky, which then land all around the battlefield. As long as the pylons are active, Profit-Taker will stop moving, but is invulnerable to all damage. The pylons themselves are protected by a small forcefield that blocks incoming gunfire, but can be passed through. Profit-Taker only uses this move twice in the entire fight; when used for the second time, the pylons also possess the Orb's Repelling Shields attack.

Strategy

Profit-Taker Orb can only be engaged in its own Heist bounties, specifically in Phase 3 to Phase 4.

Profit-Taker Heist: Phase 3

After disabling the satellite charger in the bounty, The Business will bombard the Profit-Taker with mortars forcing her off the roof. Enraged, Profit-Taker engages the Tenno and a Data Gathered percentage meter will appear as an objective.

To gather data, its impenetrable shield must be assaulted. Each attack, regardless of their effectiveness, will contribute to the objective meter (including attacks that do not affect her shield at all).

Once the data meter reaches 66.66%, the data meter will only increase when the shield itself is properly damaged, meaning the player must adapt to Profit-Taker's weaknesses. A damage type will be displayed on its forehead, which means that the shield is only vulnerable to that damage, while every other damage type will be rendered useless. The Orb's weakness can change through various means:

• When the adaptation remains unchanged for 25 seconds, the shield will naturally cycle to another element.
• If the Orb takes damage from its current element, up to 20% of her total shields, the shield will quickly cycle to another element as a countermeasure.
• If the Orb is struck with the Operator's Void Beam or  Paracesis at Rank 40, the shield will adopt another weakness. Note that when the shield changes weaknesses, it cannot change again for another five seconds.

Regardless of how much damage was dealt to the Orb, it is not possible to completely strip Profit-Taker's shield. Thankfully, the meter will be filled long before this becomes a problem. Once the meter is filled the Tenno are free to retreat to Fortuna.

Profit-Taker Heist: Phase 4

Before going into the details about the fight, this section assumes that the player possesses an Archgun installed with both Orokin Catalyst and Gravimag, and has an Archgun Deployer equipped in their gear, as the fight requires the use of said weapon.

Note that an Archgun Deployer accumulates cooldown the more ammo the Archgun is using, up to 5 minutes. However, Terra Manker may spawn throughout the fight which will drop a Heavy Ammo Pickup which will instantly restore all Archgun ammo, hence refreshing the gear's cooldown.  Protea's  Dispensary can prevent the deployment cooldown from occurring by refreshing the ammo while the player has the Archgun equipped, but unlike the Heavy Ammo Pickup, it cannot reset the cooldown.

Alternatively, a Necramech Summon can be deployed to bring down a Necramech, which can use Archguns with regenerative ammo while still allowing the player to use their Warframe's weapons.

Phase 1

The Profit-Taker Orb will be found wandering around three possible locations in the Vallis until it is engaged, with massive Corpus reinforcements at the ready, occasionally deploying an alert beacon to call in stronger Vallis units. A level 60 specter of Little Duck also appears in some location, assisting the Tenno.

The player must first take down her Sentient shield, which behaves the same way as seen in the Heist's third phase. Damage and swap her weakness as necessary until her shield is completely down.

Once her shield is down, her main body can only be damaged using a Gravimag-enhanced Archgun. Call down the weapon with an Archgun Deployer and shoot down her legs, and work up to her main body. The fight will transition to the next phase when her hit points are down to 75%.

Phase 2

Profit-Taker Orb will recover and deploy 4 Pylons, which will turn the Orb invulnerable until all Pylons are destroyed. They are protected by a spherical barrier that nullifies gunfire, but can be physically passed through. The Pylon itself has Object-based health, meaning neither Critical Hits nor Status Effects will have any effect on it.

Once the Pylons are destroyed, her main body will be vulnerable to Archgun fire again. Like in the first phase of the fight, fire down her legs again and then damage her main body. The phase will transition to the next when her hit points are down to 50%.

Phase 3

This phase is mostly a repeat of the first and second phase of the fight. The Orb Mother's shielding will restore itself to full upon entering the phase, requiring the players to take down its shield again with the corresponding damage type. After her shield is stripped, take down the main body with Archgun fire down to 25% of her health. She will then deploy 6 Pylons around the area which must be destroyed to transition to the final phase.

Phase 4

As soon as the players enter the fourth phase, they will be given a timer of 5 minutes to complete the fight before her satellite shielding realigns and render her unkillable, thus failing the bounty. She will restore her shield for the final time to full, which must be taken down with the appropriate damage type. And then she must be damaged with more Archgun fire until she is defeated.

Upon defeat, the Orb will collapse to the ground and clear the bounty, yielding a sizable amount of loot: 1  Crisma Toroid, 3  Medical Debt-Bonds, 2  Advances Debt-Bond, and 1  Familial Debt-Bond. Retrieve the loot and vacate the vicinity as soon as possible, as the Orb will then initiate a self-destruct protocol which will obliterate all Tenno and the loot in question within 300 meters.

Summary

• Phase 1: Take down the Profit-Taker's shield with the corresponding damage type. Then damage its legs working up to her main body with an Archgun summoned down with Archgun Deployer.
• Phase 2: The Profit-Taker deploys 4 Object-based Pylons which must be destroyed. Then, damage its legs and main body again with an Archgun.
• Phase 3: The Orb Mother will restore its shield. Take the shield down, destroy the Orb's legs and damage its main body with an Archgun, and then destroy the 6 deployed Pylons she deploys afterwards.
• Phase 4: A fail timer of 5 minutes will start ticking down and the Orb Mother will restore its shield. Take its shield down, destroy its legs and damage its main body with an Archgun until it is defeated. Retrieve the loot and escape the vicinity as soon as possible as it will self-destruct with a lethal range of 300m, annihilating any Tenno in the radius as well as the loot it dropped.

Tips

• Players can avoid staggers and knockdown in the fight by using a combination of knockdown immunity mods such as  Sure Footed ( Primed),  Power Drift or the Motus set mods. Alternatively,  Spellbind or  Fire Walker can be infused to provide knockdown and stagger resistance.
  • Both  Spellbind and  Fire Walker also provide status immunity, useful to counteract the magnetic proc from Profit-Taker's EMP Slam attack.
  • While  Fire Walker has a higher duration than  Spellbind, it is less reliable as the player has to be on the fire trail for the immunity to take effect.
• Profit-Taker's attacks deal a lot of damage, so the player is advised to build around that.
  • To survive the attacks at all, most frames will require a combination of ( Umbral)  Vitality,  Aerodynamic,  Adaptation, ( Umbral)  Fiber,  Arcane Guardian and/or  Arcane Tanker.
    • Even with a tanky setup, the players should avoid the laser sweep attack at all costs, as this attack can deal 6k effective health in 50 milliseconds. Avoiding the attack is as simple as making sure that you are not directly in front of the Profit-Taker.
  • If you can survive the attacks, some form of healing is still advised.  Magus Elevate and  Magus Repair are perfect tools for the job as they do not restrict the player to certain frames or weapons.
• When modding weapons for multiple elements, it is advised to mod for one dual-stat and one single-stat element, where the single-stat element corresponds with the Primed elemental mod for that weapon such as  Primed Cryo Rounds for primaries. Doing so balances out the elemental damage and leaves a mod slot to be used to buff the overall damage, instead of investing it in an elemental mod to create a dual stat element.
• If a player is consistently facing cooldowns on their Archgun, they should consider using  Ammo Chain as modding for max ammo will lower the cooldown.
• Necramechs can provide quick access to a player's Archgun which can be modded to clear multiple elements on the shield phases. Since the Necramech Archgun can be modded independently of the ground Archgun, players can still use mod setups optimized for the armor phase on their ground Archgun.
  • The  Arquebex cannot deal damage against Profit-Taker during the armor phase, but can damage the shields as normal and will easily oneshot the elements that it has covered on a full build.
  • It is not recommended to use the Necramech's Archgun for the armor phase as you cannot make use of most buffing abilities and arcanes.
    • The exceptions to this are the  Velocitus and  Corvas as they are able to consistently take out the legs and body during the armor phase with a single charged shot for each part, without need for external buffs or Riven Mods.
• Note that the Profit-Taker's mobs can be equally annoying and dangerous in the fight, so consider some form of crowd control to reduce their threat.
  • Taking out the Reinforcement Beacons prevents stronger mobs from showing up that could otherwise be overwhelming.
  • On Call Crew can be used to clear the mobs that spawn and even contribute a bit towards taking out Profit-Taker's shields.
  •  Khora's  Ensnare,  Titania's  Lantern and  Sevagoth's  Gloom are useful at managing the swarm of Corpus mobs to allow focus on fighting the Orb Mother.

Notes

• Profit-Taker's drops are affected by Resource Boosters and Smeeta Kavat's  Charm.
• The Profit-Taker Orb is immune to the effects of  Shield Disruption, and any armor-reducing effect (e.g.  Corrosive Projection,  Shattering Impact and  Seeking Shuriken).
•  Zenith in its semi-auto mode has infinite punch-through, allowing it to destroy pylons from any point as it can pierce terrain and shield bubbles (but not the Repelling Shields), while additionally having good enough stats to damage the Profit-Taker's shield.
  •  Fluctus also has infinite punch-through, but only has a range of 54 meters in the atmosphere, whereas pylons often land 150 meters away from the player. To make the weapon a decent alternative to the Zenith, it can be paired with  Zephyr's  Jet Stream augment for  Turbulence and sufficient Power Strength as this can increase the range of the projectile to from 54 meters to a comfortable 160+ meters. Unfortunately, there is a bug which makes it difficult to use in the armor phase. For this reason, it is better to use a Necramech paired with the  Velocitus to clear the armor phase as explained in one of the notes below.
  •  Opticor ( Vandal) will also pierce the shield bubbles, but not the terrain.
•  Battacor is useful, as it can be modded to deal up to 4 different elemental damage types combined from its primary fire ( Magnetic) and alternate fire modes ( Radiation).
•  Kuva Nukor/ Tenet Detron can also cover 4 elemental damage types: their innate  Radiation damage, a  Magnetic progenitor bonus, and 2 modded elements of the player's choosing.
•  Exodia Contagion makes any Zaw very suitable for the fight as it has high damage, a perfect balance between the physical elements and will innately cover  Blast.
  • Throwing the projectile at the rear end of Profit-Taker may clear  Viral as Viral damage is only dealt when its head is in the explosion radius and the head is coded to be near its rear.
• The  Redeemer ( Prime) is a popular and cheaper alternative to  Exodia Contagion.
• Currently, the strongest Archguns for the fight are the  Mausolon for Warframes and the  Velocitus for Necramechs. The Mausolon features the highest DPS of rifle-like Archguns and has the best ammo economy, meaning that  Ammo Chain is not necessary if paired with adequate builds and frame buffs. The Velocitus, when fully charged and built for consistent damage output rather than average damage output, is able to consistently one-shot the legs and body in the armor phase without external buffs or Riven Mods. This means that it can be put on a Necramech to bypass the Warframe's lengthy Archgun deployment animation and clear the armor phase faster than a Warframe could.
  • The  Imperator Vandal and  Corvas ( Prime) are also viable choices.
•  Chroma's  Effigy and its credit doubling aura can double the Credits reward when Profit Taker finally collapses, once the bounty reward has been given, as long as both her drops' location and any players are within the Effigy's radius (10m). Additionally, due to how  Vex Armor works, Chroma allows the player to free one of the mod slots for their weapon (taken by mods like  Serration) and put in an additional elemental mod instead.
•  Saryn's  Toxic Lash provides  Toxin damage to all her weapons, allowing her to cover all 4 single-stat elements using Primary, Secondary and Melee weapons only. Additionally, the augment  Venom Dose allows her to cover  Corrosive damage with all weapons.
  • Infusing  Eclipse allows her to deal enough damage with each element to make her viable for quick runs.
  • Similar to  Saryn,  Volt can give  Electricity to all his weapons using  Electric Shield.
• Profit-Taker Orb will randomly spawn in one of three separate locations: far southwest of the Orb Vallis, south of Asta Crater; near the lake to the northwest of Enrichment Labs and southwest of Coolant Reservoir; and the forked road to the east of Transit Depot and west of Spaceport.
• As Profit-Taker is a Corpus unit, it is affected by all Corpus Faction Mods such as  Bane of Corpus ( Primed) and  Smite Corpus ( Primed).
• The  Hystrix's switching elemental-damage Secondary Fire mechanic does not work on the Profit-Taker Orb. This is because unless modded for, the Hystrix quills do not deal elemental damage, only status procs, which the Orb is immune to.
• The  Paracesis at Rank 40 can cycle the Profit-Taker's shield damage just as the Operator Amps do.
• The Profit-Taker's shield can take a fifth of its total Shield Value before automatically switching to another elemental weakness. At its default level of 60, one-fifth of the shield value is equal to ~162,645 shield points.
• As all heist phases reward the  Gyromag Systems,  Atmo Systems, and  Repeller Systems with the same rarity, completing phase 2 repeatedly is the quickest way to farm these items. With proper gear and the use of an Archwing with  Hyperion Thrusters to get to Enrichment Labs and back, the phase can be completed in as little as 2 minutes.
  • If players additionally need Credits or  Crisma Toroids for Vox Solaris (Syndicate) standing, they could instead repeatedly complete phase 4, which can reasonably be completed in under 4 minutes.

Bugs

• Profit Taker in Phase 3 and Phase 4 is immune to the AoE damage on weapons with two instances of damage, unless the head of Profit-Taker is within the AoE damage radius. When damage is dealt this way, Damage Falloff is applied to the attack. The falloff distance is determined as the distance between the impact of the damage instance and the head. Until patched, using the following weapons is ill-advised as they lose substantial amounts of damage and damage diversity (many lose forms of secondary elemental damage).
  •  Acceltra ~55% damage reduction, only deals  Impact.
  •  Akarius ~86% damage reduction, only deals  Impact.
  •  Angstrum ~55% damage reduction.
  •  Basmu (primary fire) ~32% damage reduction, only deals Electricity.
  •  Exodia Contagion ?% damage reduction, loses  Viral.
  •  Grattler ~67% damage reduction, loses  Blast.
  •  Komorex (on 3.5x zoom) ~27% damage reduction, loses  Viral.
  •  Kulstar ~72% damage reduction, only deals  Impact.
  •  Kuva Ayanga ~68% damage reduction, only deals  Impact.
  •  Kuva Bramma ~91% damage reduction, only deals  Impact.
  •  Kuva Chakkhurr ~28% damage reduction, only deals  Impact.
  •  Kuva Ogris ~96% damage reduction, only deals  Impact and  Puncture.
  •  Kuva Seer ~34% damage reduction, loses  Corrosive.
  •  Kuva Tonkor ~91% damage reduction, only deals  Puncture.
  •  Larkspur (charged shot) ~65% damage reduction.
  •  Opticor ~28% damage reduction, loses  Magnetic.
  •  Opticor Vandal ~33% damage reduction, loses  Magnetic.
  •  Penta ~82% damage reduction, only deals  Impact.
  •  Prisma Angstrum ~55% damage reduction.
  •  Sancti Castanas 100% damage reduction.
  •  Secura Penta ~80% damage reduction, only deals  Impact.
  •  Shedu ~55% damage reduction, only deals  Heat.
  •  Stahlta (charged shot) ~66% damage reduction, loses  Radiation.
  •  Talons 100% damage reduction.
  • Tombfinger (secondary) ~49% damage reduction.
  • Tombfinger (primary, charged shot) ~80-90% damage reduction.
  •  Zarr (cannon mode) ~95% damage reduction, only deals  Impact.
  •  Zhuge Prime ~44% damage reduction.
• At the start of the second shield phase, Profit-Taker will regenerate its shields beyond 100%, meaning that damage dealt in the first 2 seconds is wasted effort.
• Hitting one body part of the Profit-Taker with a projectile will make that projectile deal 0 damage to subsequent body parts, even if the initial body part didn't take damage.  Fluctus, for example, has a hard time hitting legs in the back despite its infinite Punch Through: hitting the legs in front will prevent the legs in the back being from being hit by the same projectile, even if the front legs have no health left.

Trivia

• Profit Taker's head design appears to be similar if not identical to Zanuka, Zanuka Hunter, and Lockjaw's head.
• Profit Taker is voiced by Tamara Fritz, who also voices Eudico.
• The first glitchless Profit-Taker Phase 4 solo runs under 100 seconds, with and without Rivens, were performed by Aziimuth and CreepingChamp.
  • Both runs were completed with a  Saryn who had  Miasma replaced with  Eclipse.
•  Shedu is the first weapon to come with two separate single-stat elements,  Electricity and  Heat, making it the first weapon to allow all 4 single-stat elements to be covered on a Primary, Secondary and Melee.
  • Since the weapon's initial release, a bug has been introduced which makes AoE damage not apply to the Profit-Taker, meaning that  Electricity can no longer be covered with this weapon.

• Fixed Profit Takers Stage 4 cinematic not playing and leading to loss of function in the Steel Path fight.

Update 35.0 (2023-12-13)
Archgun Damage Resistance
Before we get into the stats, we have added a 50% Archgun Damage Resistance to the Profit Taker. Since these weapons have had their damage buffed, this resistance keeps these fights to the same difficulty as before.

• Exceptions: The Kuva Grattler, Grattler, Mausolon and Kuva Ayanga have unique Damage Resistance values when used against the Profit Taker. These are adjusted to keep their damage output the same against these foes -- as these weapons did not have their damage doubled, the amount of damage resistance is balanced to account for their buffs.
• Corvas Prime’s damage stats were untouched so we did not implement Damage Resistance for this weapon.
