[2019] TennoGen & Nightwave Episode 5: Hotfix 25.7.7

TennoGen & Nightwave Episode 5: Hotfix 25.7.7

 

Developer Note:

Tenno! We have intentionally left September as a bit of a ‘light’ month for releases. We wanted to give ourselves time internally to focus the whole team on finishing that infamous Whiteboard. However, our amazing and dedicated TennoGen community generate their success on our Updates! So you’ll find the headline of this week is dedicated to TennoGen Round 17. 

Regarding our recent Arbitration reward changes: the team is viewing not only feedback, but also statistics. Currently, our statistics are looking at the effects of adding Vitus to Drones, reward balance between different mission types, and the overall reward output, comparing Arbitrations both before and after changes. Stay tuned for changes coming in the near future.

The final episode of Nightwave: Series 2 is live on all platforms!

We also have an official end date for Nightwave: Series 2! You have until October 13th to rank up and earn rewards, including the Emissary Operator Suit, Nikana Maligna Skin, Spore Ephemera and more! 

A note on Episode 5:
Without spoiling too much on what Episode 5 brings, we wanted to provide a bit of information on ZEALOT CODES. 

Zealot Codes are required to engage in a new encounter brought in Episode 5.

What’s a Zealot Code? If you’ve noticed this, you’ll know completing these gives you access to Zealot missions: 
 

(1 Zealot Code is acquired from completing 3 Infested Outbreak missions on a planet under an Outbreak. 2 planets are always under an Outbreak at all times, meaning you can get 2 Zealot Codes per day.)

If you have Zealot Codes in your Inventory, you can engage that respective amount of times plus with the more Codes you can continually earn. 

Fun fact: this mysterious encounter will return after Nightwave Series 2 ends on October 13th as a permanent new boss fight.

So, the new Nightwave assassination mission has 2 new enemies for codex: 1 mob, 1 boss

However, both of them require *30* (that's right *thirty*) scans to complete their codex entries. I know this game is grindy but 30 scans to complete the codex entry for a boss that only appears when the timed assassination mission is present?

This will be fixed (reduced to 3) next Hotfix!

At Rank 3 2% weapon damage? Too funny. 😝

This is actually a visual bug only, it's still 200% and will be fixed next Hotfix. Under the hood we did some changes to make the string localize properly in other changes, which is causing the error.
