– In-game description
Mars is a planet where the Corpus and the Grineer are both controlling factions.
The Mars Nav Segment can be obtained, along with the Venus Nav Segment, by defeating Captain Vor during the Vor's Prize quest.
The vital target of the planet is Sergeant Nef Anyo, who is located in the mission War and where the blueprints for the parts of the Mag Warframe can be obtained. He also has a higher than average chance to drop Gallium and Morphics.
Mars does not currently have a Tenno Relay player hub.
Enemies[]
Infested can appear during Invasion missions. The lists do not apply to Survival missions.
During Spy 2.0 missions, special enemy variants may have a chance to spawn.
Due to the dual Corpus/Grineer ownership of Mars, faction incursions have a higher chance of occurring, including on missions that normally do not feature said incursions such as Mobile Defense.
Tips[]
Sgt. Nef Anyo can drop Gallium in quantities up to 4.
Trivia[]
Mars is named after the Roman God of war; both the god and planet are associated with war and death.
Most of Mars' mission names are all named after geographical locations on Mars.
Ultor is an exception; it is instead named after one of Mars' epithets, Mars Ultor ("Mars the Avenger" in Latin).
Kadesh is also an exception, named after a battle between Egypt's Ramses II and the Hittite empire.
The fact that both the Corpus and the Grineer are present on Mars is a nod to The Gradivus Dilemma, which ended with the Grineer taking over several nodes originally controlled by the Corpus. This makes Mars the only planet where all three major enemy factions are present.
Mars used to be a purely Corpus-controlled planet from Update 14 to Update 15.13, where several nodes were given to the Grineer.
Bugs[]
The Tharsis node is listed as being a Corpus Sabotage node, despite it being a Grineer Sabotage node.
This bug is also true for Syndicate Alerts of the same type.
