Operation Variant at the Brutus node on Uranus

An operation variant of the new Ascenion mode can be found at the Brutus node on Uranus. Play Ascension as you know it to earn those all-important Vestigial Motes, but with the added threat of Jade Light Eximus. These guys will spawn damaging beams of energy directly on top of you, so be careful. On top of the regular Ascension rewards, each Operation mission will award players with 4-6 Volatile Motes or 8-10 on Steel Path, which can be traded for rewards via Ordis in the Larunda Relay.

Summoning a Sister of Parvos by finding all three Sister Beacons hidden randomly through the level will also earn players an extra 1-3 Volatile Motes or 2-4 on Steel Path, as well as her usual drops.

Operation Alerts

Timed Operation Alerts will also appear across the solar system, and these reward players with 10 Volatile Motes or 15 on Steel Path. These non-Ascension missions will have normal gameplay based on their mission type but will feature increased Eximus Spawns, and those Eximus units will only spawn as Jade versions. They will rotate every 30 minutes, giving you a way to earn Volatile Motes by doing something a little different.

Stalker Joins the Fray

Finally, visiting Ordis in the Larunda Relay lets you do the thing you have always wanted to do, and play at the Stalker. Selecting the “A Shared Purpose?” option will allow you to join another Squad’s mission as the vicious Stalker, using his skills to aid them in their efforts. Doing so will reward you with the usual mission rewards, but you lose them all if you are downed.
