The downside is that these Alerts always have the “No Shields” modifier, plus up to one more. Which makes them a good way to get any such Mods you’re missing.
These Alerts tell you which Nightmare Mod you’ll earn for completing the mission. The one exception is the slightly rare occurrence of Nightmare Mode Alerts - even more time-limited events that pop up on the star map from time to time. You won’t know what you worked so hard to earn until you’ve finished it. Unfortunately, the Nightmare Mods you earn are usually random. So it’s usually best to play with other human beings to increase your odds of success. These can include taking away your Warframe’s shields, constantly leeching your health, and a whole lot more. Then, every eight hours, a mission will be randomly selected for Nightmare Mode.īesides just being harder, Nightmare missions come with modifiers that make them even trickier. To unlock that you first need to beat every single mission on said planet. To earn them, you need to play on “Nightmare Mode” - a higher-than-normal difficulty setting that’s available for one mission on each planet. This makes them incredibly useful and efficient since all equipment can only hold so many Mods at one time.
Whereas most Mods only provide one bonus - like fire or toxic damage - Nightmare Mods offer two.
