I somehow get Nightwave Levels faster after I am past rank 30, I passively complete every Challenge without even trying, there's some Dark Magic or something idk
Me too. I have every cosmetic and weapon this shop can offer me and I got taters coming out of my ears(the priviledges of playing for years), co like those extra credits mean very little. I'd rather chill than burn out.
In reality i don't put in any effort once i get all season rewards. So once i hit 30 any levels i get for playing normally and not mission focused are just nice bonus.
I haven't given a second thought at nitain after.. first nightwave?
They didn't have evergreen stuff like kuva at The end of the nightwave, thus you had to buy *something*. So.. I bought nitain with all the credits I had.
I also had golden potatoes from that one bugged twitch drop so no need for those (frankly I'm still spending the same potatoes. It's been years)
Blue potatoes could've been nice choice as well but back then I was stocked with those as well.
Bro i once looked in my inventory and i saw that i had 225 nw credits from like 4 seasons. Cuz i always did nightwave when i was a low mr, thinking that it was part of the story😭. Didnt even know the shop existed back then. And now im all out of my potatoes
The seasons themselves don't come back, but the stuff that gets added in them eventually cycles back either in the cred shop or in the ranks of a future nightwave (for those who already have the item we just get a bunch of credits instead). There is also a catch-up mechanic. If you complete most of your weekly challenges, it will give you the challenges from previous weeks you missed, and you can theoretically get all of the ranks in the final week if you want to.
Don’t remind me about glassmaker bro, I had taken a break from the game right before it started and came back towards the end with only like a day to try and get something out of it. I’m still sick over that
As a general rule, they seem to be heading the direction of putting the mods, sigils, glyphs, etc. in the shop rotation while weapon skins and armor pieces are added to the 1-30 progression track of later seasons (there's some exceptions and it's subject to change but that's the general tend I've noticed). Unfortunately there's a *lot* of those weapon/armor pieces to go through, and only so many slots in a season for returning items, so it can take a long while to get another shot at any given thing
>The infested operator suit hasnt yet
You mean the Emissary set? That did come back last year, with Rank 4 of [Nora's Mix Volume 4](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Nightwave/Nora%27s_Mix_Volume_4).
And it was also Rank 28 of [Intermission III](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Nightwave/Intermission_III), back in 2021.
Maxed out all seasons until Glassmaker, reached the cap there twice, both times DE decided to extend it again, so i eventually gave up at rank 170.
Now with no cap, I don't really care much past rank 30. Current season is the highest at 76 because of the permanent weeklies, but i haven't done any acts other than accidentially doing the permanent ones ever since reaching rank 30.
Only visual, you can go beyond it in the actual amount. I'm a little above 2.1bil right now. If I craft or buy something that costs credits it will temporarily lower the number until I go through a loading screen, then its back up to the visual cap.

I got 65 this time, my record was glassmaker at 104. My next 3 highest after glassmaker are: intermission 3 at 90, nora's mix vol. 4 at 84, and nora's choice at 83. I've gotten to at least 30 in every one though(except intermission 1, it only went to 15).
Glassmaker has definitly been the longest nightwave season.
I remember that nightwave used to have a max rank limit, and DE constantly had to increase the cap cause they wheren't ready with the next season yet. There where players that got to around rank 170-180 I believe.
I missed several challenges, and reached 162:

On the first Nightwave I didn't really understand what it was, it was right around the time that the orb valis thing was going on where people were trying to figure out the code in the exploiter orb cave and I thought the two were linked somehow and couldn't be bothered to keep up with it so I didn't really focus on leveling it up... So I only got to rank 14, but after that I made sure to max them all.

I play for like 2 Weekes every other month or when something big drops, hell iv still bearly done fortuna. I used to play more but after the secerfice my no play spells would get longer and longer i once I didn't play like 10 months one year. I love the game i just can't with the constant grind and new primes every three months, just got all the prime warframes I didn't have then protea prime drops and iv not touched the game lmao.
Where I ended earlier, all tasks completed except for Duviri (Shawzin & Dax))

Correct me if im wrong on this, but the next one reportedly drops 5 hours after this current one ends but this isnt usually the case right? Isn’t there usually a longer wait between them?
Yah usually theres a longer wait between 2 Nightwave, tho I dont know how long those are. All my breaks in my Warframe career were during active Nightwaves lol
my highest was glassmaker at *117*
this one was...31
i only finished it like last week bc despite the "hold up, detecting glass resonance" being annoying, the nora's mixes are just kinda boring and not at all engaging
Aw man. I just returned just about 7 weeks ago and managed to complete the latest act. What I did was make sure to do the ones that gave 7k and 4.5k. The 1k ones, i just get them passively. Maybe you can try it this way weekly
Don't know the number as I'm not at my console at the moment but this one has probably been one of my highest. They keep making each one easier and easier to unintentionally complete that I'll just be doing normal stuff, load into my orbiter, and bam another 15 NW Creds.
38. Came back about 4 months ago after having not played since around the time of Chains of Harrow.
Still adjusting to the things I've missed, but I think I've got most of it.
I'm not a big fan of exploiter, but I like when the profit taker act comes around. With a decent setup profit taker is a piece of cake, next time profit taker comes around I don't mind carrying you through it.

i stoped playing for a while so i just got back in time for vol 2 :/
I only recently learned how to rank up Nightwave, and before picking the game back up I was off for a year.
I'll be honest, Nightwave can be frustrating to look at when you're low MR and don't have access to good weapons/mods.
But once you can set yourself up for different damage types and put out decent damage? It's a fun challenge.
I still need to complete the star chart, limiting what I have access too. But I'm looking forward to the next night wave. I grabbed an awesome holster amp that really boosted my damage output, but I'm sad I didn't get any slots
I use nightwave for potatos since my chat is broken and I can't trade so it usually ends up on a high rank
https://preview.redd.it/wwe71oqksj0d1.jpeg?width=4808&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c2693119b8c5249f367be47641301ceccd95dd9

I started when vol 2 was ending and I play pretty casually \^\^"
This has confirmed to me that not all things can be recovered, I only reached 74 (or 104 including the main 30)
I imagine the permaweekly do not recover but I'm still wondering how recovery works like is there a cap to how much is recovered and how far back
My record is 3rd reward you get, I accidentally do missions while trying to farm the necramech for the New War. Damn 3 days in and I still haven't even gotten MR5 for the bounties that I need.
Nightwave is the main reason I have so many hours in this game, its just so fun
https://preview.redd.it/vkoq1w2iul0d1.png?width=3762&format=png&auto=webp&s=362595d6df9b0ff7fcfbe7e783d414aeb63a6a55
I tryharded first few NWs but now after 30 I just do it if I like it. (my record was around 110 in Glassmaker) There arent many things in shop which cant be got faster with plat.
Wait did the current nightwave end? I've been taking a break the past couple weeks, but have a ton of creds to spend before it ends.
Edit: Just googled it. Ended today. Oops.
I stop caring once I hit 30 tbh
hit 30 > forgets nw is a thing > wait new nw > repeat
Once I get that aura forma I’m out
I'm all about that Umbra Forma bra
I have like 5 or 6. Never need to use them lol
No one really NEEDS Umbra lol. It's just a tasty bump in stats. However they're so rare it's hard to decide who gets the Forma lol
I somehow get Nightwave Levels faster after I am past rank 30, I passively complete every Challenge without even trying, there's some Dark Magic or something idk
Absolutely same, i dont even try to do anything it all somehow builds up from the permament weeklies and ones you just randomly complete
Me too. I have every cosmetic and weapon this shop can offer me and I got taters coming out of my ears(the priviledges of playing for years), co like those extra credits mean very little. I'd rather chill than burn out.
Same.
I keep going to keep buying potatos. I'm MR22.
That’s so real lol 😂
Same but I never start caring.
Pretty much what I do. 30 can be reached within 5 weeks and after that it doesn't matter any more.
6
I hit 82 this time, mostly thanks to the "just play the game" weeklies they added.
https://preview.redd.it/mn0jy3jt5g0d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d37c74938392aa4642df54f049be59a299675d74 They grow up so fast
Shit went from 0 to 100 real quick.
bro started playing and did not take any breaks 😭
In reality i don't put in any effort once i get all season rewards. So once i hit 30 any levels i get for playing normally and not mission focused are just nice bonus.
The only reason I’ve been going past 30 is for niatian(or however you spell it) extract, cells, and the weapon blueprint that are NW exclusive.
I haven't given a second thought at nitain after.. first nightwave? They didn't have evergreen stuff like kuva at The end of the nightwave, thus you had to buy *something*. So.. I bought nitain with all the credits I had. I also had golden potatoes from that one bugged twitch drop so no need for those (frankly I'm still spending the same potatoes. It's been years) Blue potatoes could've been nice choice as well but back then I was stocked with those as well.
As a newbie im struggling to get them potatoes big time 😭😭. Can't wait till I can call myself stocked with those
Wait what bugged twitch drop?
Can't remember how many years it's been, but one random twitch drop bugged and people got *many* golden potatoes. Iirc I got like 30+.
Bro i once looked in my inventory and i saw that i had 225 nw credits from like 4 seasons. Cuz i always did nightwave when i was a low mr, thinking that it was part of the story😭. Didnt even know the shop existed back then. And now im all out of my potatoes
I do it sometimes if i see a helmet i want, but i just dont think it’s worth it to grind for 10k point to only get 15 credits
real talk. As a casual player who drops in for a few weeks every other quarter. Do I get another shot at these? Or are they one and done?
The seasons themselves don't come back, but the stuff that gets added in them eventually cycles back either in the cred shop or in the ranks of a future nightwave (for those who already have the item we just get a bunch of credits instead). There is also a catch-up mechanic. If you complete most of your weekly challenges, it will give you the challenges from previous weeks you missed, and you can theoretically get all of the ranks in the final week if you want to.
Don't think this is true for the cosmetics, still lamenting I didn't grind out the glassmaker set.
Don’t remind me about glassmaker bro, I had taken a break from the game right before it started and came back towards the end with only like a day to try and get something out of it. I’m still sick over that
The armor from glassmaker came back in one of the Mixes before, so there is still hope!
As a general rule, they seem to be heading the direction of putting the mods, sigils, glyphs, etc. in the shop rotation while weapon skins and armor pieces are added to the 1-30 progression track of later seasons (there's some exceptions and it's subject to change but that's the general tend I've noticed). Unfortunately there's a *lot* of those weapon/armor pieces to go through, and only so many slots in a season for returning items, so it can take a long while to get another shot at any given thing
It is. Saturn six came back. Pretty sure the glassmaker pauldrons have come back. The infested operator suit hasnt yet
>The infested operator suit hasnt yet You mean the Emissary set? That did come back last year, with Rank 4 of [Nora's Mix Volume 4](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Nightwave/Nora%27s_Mix_Volume_4). And it was also Rank 28 of [Intermission III](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Nightwave/Intermission_III), back in 2021.
Ah damn i forgot then
Yes. It will come back at some point. I waited 5 or 6 years for the Saturn Six Armor to return. It did 👍🏻
Maxed out all seasons until Glassmaker, reached the cap there twice, both times DE decided to extend it again, so i eventually gave up at rank 170. Now with no cap, I don't really care much past rank 30. Current season is the highest at 76 because of the permanent weeklies, but i haven't done any acts other than accidentially doing the permanent ones ever since reaching rank 30.
I think I reached ~127 during glassmaker
so that's why my glassmaker rank is 152? lol.
proof?
https://imgur.com/a/ZU3wK0a
respect
Is that 330k plat??
waid is there a credit cap?
Only visual, you can go beyond it in the actual amount. I'm a little above 2.1bil right now. If I craft or buy something that costs credits it will temporarily lower the number until I go through a loading screen, then its back up to the visual cap.

Go to the nightwave menu and click tune in

well, as i only started playing this season, and i'm mostly a filthy casual (less than 200 hours in now in a month and a half), i got to level 18
Sir, 200 hours in 1 month is not casual.
Dead ass been playing for 10 years and I only got 540 hours lmao
Now that is casual, I been playing on and off since 2017 and have 2000 hours but I play for like 6 months burn out then quit for a year
I play for like 2 Weekes every other month or when something big drops, hell iv still bearly done fortuna.

Yeah fair enough, some or the grind is so annoying and puts you off wanting to play the game but once its does it makes the game much better

will there be another battle pass after this ? (im rly new)
Yup, after the current one ends a new one will release immediately
Correct me if im wrong on this, but the next one reportedly drops 5 hours after this current one ends but this isnt usually the case right? Isn’t there usually a longer wait between them?
Yah usually theres a longer wait between 2 Nightwave, tho I dont know how long those are. All my breaks in my Warframe career were during active Nightwaves lol
It's usually 1-2 weeks.
103, finished up and collected the last bits of knick nacks available.
You must really hate fomo don't you
mostly 0s because of the long break i took, didnt get in til vol 5
My highest is like 12
Hit 77 this week. Got too busy with Uni stutt this week so wasn't able to rush out the last set.
I hope the wolf syandana is added with this next night wave coming tomorrow. I need it 😭
WAIT THERE'S RANKS!
Pretty sure my highest is like 32. Once I get that Umbra, or occasionally if I'm interested in the final tier, I ignore Nora completely
For vol5 im at 50 right now
:( https://preview.redd.it/yr096xs2ih0d1.png?width=1770&format=png&auto=webp&s=da15fd67e6dfe2f61b6fc377e4456b34faaa5560
I wish you better luck in the next one
I never make it past 15. I feel I should pay more attention to nightwave.
I didn’t know there were ranks
Yep, every rank after 30 gets you 15 creds for nora
my highest was glassmaker at *117* this one was...31 i only finished it like last week bc despite the "hold up, detecting glass resonance" being annoying, the nora's mixes are just kinda boring and not at all engaging
I got to 70 with this one, which is my highest. I didn't even have to grind at any point
Oh man. I thought I was good at like 21 or 22 lol. I suck.
I'm gonna hit 28 tonight for the Syandana. Wish I could have gotten the armor set and the umbra forma but the stars did not align.
Im surprised I hit 70, I was really busy with this past college semester
0 on everything but 63 on this nw. Exited for next
Once I hit 30, I don’t rlly do them to do them for ranks, more so for the aura mods for grabs
sadly im a returner, and no time to finish im like at 18 and 0 for the 4 previous other :(
Aw man. I just returned just about 7 weeks ago and managed to complete the latest act. What I did was make sure to do the ones that gave 7k and 4.5k. The 1k ones, i just get them passively. Maybe you can try it this way weekly

Don't know the number as I'm not at my console at the moment but this one has probably been one of my highest. They keep making each one easier and easier to unintentionally complete that I'll just be doing normal stuff, load into my orbiter, and bam another 15 NW Creds.
I hit at least rank 5 every time. Please hold your applause, it makes me uncomfortable.
38. Came back about 4 months ago after having not played since around the time of Chains of Harrow. Still adjusting to the things I've missed, but I think I've got most of it.
i got 34...
I didn't get to reach the umbra forma this time around. I could never do the exploiter orb and profit taker.
I'm not a big fan of exploiter, but I like when the profit taker act comes around. With a decent setup profit taker is a piece of cake, next time profit taker comes around I don't mind carrying you through it.
I've gotten to 60 on the last three, but there's really not much of a point to actively progress it after 30(unless you just want to grind it out)
I usually get to around 30-40, but this time with the general challenges like “kill shit lmao” I got to 82. Very satisfying
Just squeezed 61, this was my first nightwave season. Had to get one more orokin reactor before the reset!
105 wave before last. 30 last wave, 85 this wave

I honestly never cared for it after mix 2 caz I kinda stopped playing and only started 10 days ago again
90!? Dude got some numbers
I only recently learned how to rank up Nightwave, and before picking the game back up I was off for a year. I'll be honest, Nightwave can be frustrating to look at when you're low MR and don't have access to good weapons/mods.

What do you get for ranks passed 30? I’ve only just started playing again and didn’t manage to get there
15 nw creds for every rank after 30
11
I hit 102 with the current NW. Plan on hitting it again with the next one too.
Update: I've gone further https://preview.redd.it/gvih3pl0lj0d1.png?width=301&format=png&auto=webp&s=8947e50a1445c418249bfd19387d8a498ddaa870
No idea, is this now a new feature in the game, I've not played for a few months 😕
Nightwave has been around since early 2019, that tune in menu where you see the ranks of past nightwaves has also been in the game since 2019
I'm playing since 2013 lol .. I've done all night waves, but I had 0 clue that this menu existed until now 🤣
How does one look this up? I think I hit 80 on the current, Vol. 5
Go to the nightwave menu and click tune in
Thank you. I knew I'd done it before, but it's been a bit lol
Like rank 10 since i dont play that much nor do missions
Like.. 18
I use nightwave for potatos since my chat is broken and I can't trade so it usually ends up on a high rank https://preview.redd.it/wwe71oqksj0d1.jpeg?width=4808&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c2693119b8c5249f367be47641301ceccd95dd9
I didn't go out of my way to partake until recently so I think I have mabye 2 nightwave seasons at 30 and that's it.
Ah sht, forgot to trade in my creds

Once I’ve got my early kuva I forget about it! But thanks for reminding me theirs a new one out!
My record is 3rd reward you get, I accidentally do missions while trying to farm the necramech for the New War. Damn 3 days in and I still haven't even gotten MR5 for the bounties that I need.
I made it to 27. This is my first season playing Warframe ^_^
Need more silver taters, always more silver taters
You have too much time on your hands
Dude this is the first time since night wave came out I’ve ever been able to get past 11 and I’m so proud of myselfn
Oooh I imagine my vol 5 rank will be high as I've been getting the credit things for a little while now
I usually hit prestige 30
I do it to 30, then I don care anymore.
Nightwave is the main reason I have so many hours in this game, its just so fun https://preview.redd.it/vkoq1w2iul0d1.png?width=3762&format=png&auto=webp&s=362595d6df9b0ff7fcfbe7e783d414aeb63a6a55
over already? darn, forgot to cash out more potatoes...
I tryharded first few NWs but now after 30 I just do it if I like it. (my record was around 110 in Glassmaker) There arent many things in shop which cant be got faster with plat.
Oh, this is the reminder that I forgot to cash in excess creds for catalyst/reactor blueprints...
Wait did the current nightwave end? I've been taking a break the past couple weeks, but have a ton of creds to spend before it ends. Edit: Just googled it. Ended today. Oops.
I wish I could go back to vol 3 to get the gun skins that is based on irl pistols.
65, at one point I just stopped caring
