THE PYRUS PROJECT is live on Nintendo Switch from August 7th at 11 AM ET to August 21st at 11 AM ET.
Strata Relay has laid in ruin since Councilor Vay Hek's Fomorian fleet launched an assault. Tenno conquered the Grineer assailants then. Now, or the first time, Nintendo Switch players will rebuild and leave their mark on the Star Chart!
Cressa Tal and Steel Meridian are marshaling the reconstruction efforts. Tal is in dire need of valuable resources to rebuild the Strata Relay on Earth. Find them, deliver them, and she will reward you for your efforts. Be warned: Sargas Ruk and the Grineer will not make things easy for you, Tenno. Show them that we will not be intimidated.
You will receive an inbox message when you first log in from Cressa Tal with instructions on how to start!
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
Assist the Steel Meridian with what they’ve called the PYRUS PROJECT as an effort to rebuild the Strata Relay. Complete the 4 construction tasks listed below and donate the required resources by bringing them to Cressa Tal located in the Strata Relay Reconstruction Site located on Earth.
The following tasks can be completed in any order!
CONTRIBUTE PYRUS ESSENCE
- Collect a total of 30 Pyrus Essences and contribute it at the Relay Reconstruction site.
- Pyrus Essence is collected from Essence Carriers on Earth, Mercury, Saturn, and Ceres.
- You will receive a transmission from Cressa when an Essence Carrier is located in your mission
- Essence Carriers look like Eximus enemies, and they have a special icon identifying their location within the mission, similar to Synthesis targets.
CONTRIBUTE RELAY STRUT COMPONENTS
- Craft a total of 5 Relay Strut Components and contribute them to the Relay Reconstruction site.
- A reusable “Relay Strut Component” blueprint has been delivered to your Inbox so that you can craft the required Components!
- Relay Strut Components require Trembera Essence, which is acquired the same way as Pyrus Essence.
COMPLETE A SIMARIS DAILY LIBRARY TASK
-
Speak with Cephalon Simaris in one of the current standing Relays. Begin the daily library task by selecting “Do you have any targets?” and accepting the option to perform Synthesis.
- To perform Synthesis, you must own and have Synthesis Scanners equipped. You can purchase 25 from Cephalon Simaris in the Relay for 5,000 credits. Kinetic Siphon Traps can also be purchased from Cephalon Simaris to help make scanning Synthesis targets a breeze.
DEFEAT THE GRUSTRAG THREE
- The Grustrag Three are disrupting the construction process. Lure them out and eliminate them!
- You can spawn the Grustrag Three by completing 5 consecutive Invasion missions against the Grineer. Access Invasion missions by visiting the world state window.
- During The Pyrus Project, the Grustrag Three have a chance to spawn in any regular mission (with enemies that are higher than level 3) on Earth, Mercury, Ceres, and Saturn regardless of whether you are marked by them.
REWARDS
The following rewards are given throughout the reconstruction effort as tasks are completed!
- NEW Zylok Pistol
- Pistol Riven Mod
- Ember Reprise Noggle
- Liset Athari Skin
UNLOCK THE NEW STRATA RELAY!
By working with Cressa Tal, we shall rebuild the Strata Relay. It will stand as a shrine to those who fell in battle and as a reminder to the Grineer that our will cannot be crushed.
Completing the reconstruction tasks will grant you access to the new Relay.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
You can track your task progress by hovering over the Strata Relay Reconstruction Site node on Earth to bring up the task list. This list is also available in the Reconstruction Site hanger next to Cressa Tal.
You can contribute Pyrus Essence and crafted Relay Strut Components by speaking with Cressa Tal located in the Strata Relay Reconstruction Site Hangar.

FAQ:
How do I participate in The Pyrus Project?
You will receive an inbox message from Cressa Tal when you log in. She will explain what you need to do to rebuild the Strata Relay. Start with any of the listed tasks and work your way to completing them all.
Do I need to be in a Clan to participate in The Pyrus Project?
The Pyrus Project is a community-led effort, so there are no Clan or competitive components. We're excited that Tenno are coming together to leave their mark on the Origin System by rebuilding one of our lost Relays!
Where do I find Pyrus and Trembera Essence?
Pyrus and Trembera Essence can be found by hunting down Essence Carriers in any mission on Earth, Mercury, Ceres, and Saturn.
Where do I contribute my Pyrus Essence and Relay Strut Components?
Speak with Cressa Tal in the Relay Reconstruction Site located on Earth to contribute!
What happens to the Pyrus and Trembera Essence I’ve collected after the Operation is over?
It will remain in your inventory unless you decide to sell it for 10 credits a piece.
Do the Grustrag Three spawned in Earth, Mercury, Ceres, and Saturn missions for The Pyrus Project have the same drop chances as they do in non-Pyrus Project missions?
Since the Grustrag Three spawn at a higher rate in these missions during The Pyrus Project, they do not drop any of the items you would normally expect from the trio. However, if a Grustrag Three Beacon is used for a mission, they will spawn with their regular drops.
Do Resource Boosters apply to Pyrus and Trembera Essence?
Resource Boosters apply to Trembera Essence drops but not to Pyrus, as Pyrus is not dropped from enemies but collected from captured Essence Carriers.
The reconstruction effort runs until August 21st at 11 AM ET and is available to Tenno of all Mastery Ranks. Together, we’ll show the Grineer that our will cannot be crushed.
Good luck, Tenno!
