1 What To Expect About The Event

Group/Solo Play And Rotations

Can be soloed: Yes
Can be farmed: No

In the world of Warframe, Anticipation for Corruption Alerts runs high among players due to their unique rewards that are seldom accessible through usual play. The challenge lies in battling swarms of Infested Enemies across multiple mission cycles over weeks, with successful completion of each event yielding Mods, Credits, and other valuable prizes.

Enemies swarming with pests can be quite bothersome, but teaming up with fellow Tenno, either from your Clan or through Matchmaking, makes it easier to tackle them. Plus, you can reap the rich rewards they offer. Notably, several of these missions can also be accomplished solo if you have the right game setup.

2 Corruption Alert Event Schedule

When To Play To Earn All Rewards

Difficulty mission level: Medium
Type Of Enemies: Infested

The Event spans across every weekend in September, so make sure to check the specific dates listed on this page to not miss out on acquiring useful add-ons and materials. Additionally, remember that all notifications start on Fridays at 11 a.m. Eastern Time and conclude on Sundays at the same time.

Essentially, players are given approximately three days to finish each mission task, as the notification disappears from the Mission Menu after nearly three full days. The initial week offers a Hive mission, followed by a Survival mission lasting 10 minutes, then a Mobile Defense mission, and finally, a Disruption mission in the fourth week. This provides ample time for players to strategize their approach and secure all rewards.

3 These Events Are The Best Way To Get Rare Mods

Acquiring Corrupted Mods Is A Must-Do For Every Tenno

Current Mods on Rotation: Heavy Caliber, Depleted Reload, Tainted Shell, Mangum Force
Other Rewards: Stratus Emblem

Despite common player perception, acquiring Rare Mods isn’t straightforward due to the game’s unforgiving Random Number Generator (RNG), which often prevents players from getting the specific ones they desire. As a result, Corruption Alerts offer an excellent avenue for obtaining Corrupted Mods such as Heavy Caliber, Magnum Force, Tainted Shell, and the elusive Catalyzing Shields.

Furthermore, such events offer an excellent opportunity to acquire exceptionally scarce Emblems, like the Stratos Emblem in this instance. This unique “stacking cosmetic” item accumulates each time a player earns it, incrementing a counter and altering its design, making it highly sought-after by collectors.

4 Best Warframes To Bring To Battle

The Ones That Pack A Real Punch, And Are Ideal For These Alerts

Best Options: AoE, Damage Control, Heavy Damage
Not Recommended: Squishy Situational Warframes, like Volt

For upcoming Corruption Alerts where players must combat swarms of Infested, several Warframes are particularly effective against their group tactics. One such Warframe is Ember, whose potent abilities inflict heavy Fire Damage over a broad area, as well as continuous DoT (Damage Over Time), making her an excellent choice due to the Infested’s weakness to fire. Players may also opt for Nova with the Slow Nova build, utilizing her ultimate Molecular Prime to slow enemies in a wide area. This trait can be particularly beneficial for Survival and Defense missions.

Another great option is Excalibur, its Exalted Blade ultimate, equipped with mods to cause Slash damage is ideal, but using Chromatic Blade and Red energy will turn all its damage into Fire Damage, which is also a great way to boost its effectiveness against Infested. Finally, Styanax is one of the latest additions to the Warframe roster, and his abilities carry great utility and power. Its Final Stand ability brings down a heavy rain of exploding javelins in a wide area, which are ideal for dealing with hordes of angry Infested.

5 Best Weapons For Corrupted Alerts

Never Go On A Mission Against Infested Without These

Ideal melee weapons: Scythes, Greatswords, Nikanas
Ideal secondary: Pyrana Prime, Laetum
Ideal primary: Soma/Soma Prime, Phenmor

Due to Infested creatures being susceptible to Slash and Fire damage, yet difficult to handle, weapons such as Soma Prime – known for its large ammo capacity and critical slash damage – are effective against them. Additionally, obtaining the Incarnon Genesis version of this weapon amplifies this effectiveness. For close combat, Nikanas, Greatswords, or even daggers can be used effectively. A popular choice among players is the Guandao, boasting a high critical rate and compatible with excellent combo mods to execute wide-area attacks capable of eliminating numerous Infested simultaneously.

If you’re seeking a solid backup weapon to fend off a heavy Infested attack, the Laetum could be an excellent choice. When you engage Incarnon mode, it fires rapid bursts of radiation particles at enemies. However, for those preferring alternative options, the Corinth and its prime variant are also effective against zerg enemies, and the current meta’s Phenmor is one of the top weapons available.
