The Granum Void is a set of challenges present on the Corpus Ship tileset, where players fight off Errant Specters in Parvos Granum's pocket of the Void to reap rewards. These challenges can only be accessed after completing The Deadlock Protocol.

Mechanics[]

On the Corpus Ship tileset, a Treasurer will appear within 2 - 5 minutes in a non-endless mission, and between 3 - 8 minutes in an endless mission. Killing the Treasurer will reward a Granum Crown, but if the Tenno takes too long he will escape and vanish. The type of crown the Treasurer drops is based on the mission's level;

Name	Level Range	Planet and Mission
Granum Crown	0-15	Venus/Fossa (Assassination) Venus/Ishtar (Sabotage) Phobos/Iliad (Assassination) Phobos/Roche (Exterminate) Phobos/Skyresh (Capture)
Exemplar Granum Crown	16-30	Jupiter/Adrastea (Sabotage) Neptune/Laomedeia (Disruption) Neptune/Triton (Rescue)
Zenith Granum Crown	30+	Neptune/Psamathe (Assassination) Pluto/Acheron (Exterminate) Pluto/Cypress (Sabotage) Pluto/Hydra (Capture) Any Sisters of Parvos mission Any Steel Path mission

From there players must locate a Golden Hand Tribute and interact with it, spending one Crown to access the Granum Void. These Tributes are scattered around the map, with some tiles having more than one Tribute available. Once a Crown is spent, Lotus will inform the squad that the Granum Void has been opened and urge other players to enter the portal before it closes after 30 seconds. Only the player that opened the Void will have their Crown consumed. There are 3 tiers of Granum Void missions based on what Token was spent, regardless of what planet the Crown was used in:

• Granum Void via Granum Crown
• Extended Granum Void via Exemplar Granum Crown
• Nightmare Granum Void via Zenith Granum Crown

In the Granum Void, players must kill as many Errant Specters as possible within 60 seconds. The timer can be replenished in two ways:

• Collecting particles (yellow triangles) either dropped by the Specters or occasionally found as is in the Void will add 5 seconds to the timer.
• Freeing Solaris captives (floating in the air, with a yellow mission marker) by killing the specters with  Xoris to stack charges and using its Charged Throw and detonating with Alternate Fire near a trapped Solaris will add 20 seconds to the timer. There are always 3 Solaris on the map, giving players an additional 60 seconds in total.

The Errant Specters become Specter Particles when "killed" and while harmless in this state, the Particles can be absorbed by any Errant Specters, increasing their level in the process. When fully charged, the Charged Throw of the Xoris can be used to instantly kill Errant Specters regardless of their level, breaking them down into Specter Particles which can be used to charge the Xoris once more.

Once the time is up or players have reached the highest reward Rank, all players in the Granum Void are teleported back to the standard map, and all Golden Hand Tributes will turn away from the player, preventing further access to the Granum Void for the rest of the mission.

Rewards[]

The reward table is based on how many Errant Specters players manage to kill before they leave the Granum Void;

• Rank 1: 25 Kills (+25 per additional squad member, 150 max)
• Rank 2: 50 Kills (+25 per additional squad member, 150 max)
• Rank 3: 75 Kills (+25 per additional squad member, 150 max)

Players are awarded for each Rank they qualify for, so qualifying for Rank 3 will additionally roll rewards from Ranks 1 and 2. In other words, players will get a reward from A, B, AND C reward tables upon qualifying for Rank 3.

• Normal
• Extended (Exemplar)
• Nightmare (Zenith)

A		B		C
x2000 Credit Cache	50%	x3000 Credit Cache	50%	Stahlta Receiver	22.22%
Void Traces x5	33.33%	Endo x200	33.33%	Stropha Barrel	22.22%
Granum Crown Decoration	16.67%	Corpus Ship Bridge Scene	16.67%	Stropha Blade	22.22%
				Velox Barrel	22.22%
				Protea Neuroptics Blueprint	11.11%

Drop tables outdated? Readers can update Module:DropTables/data and cross reference with official drop tables on https://www.warframe.com/droptables.

Freeing captured Solaris will award Solaris United standing:

• Normal: 100  100 per captive, 300  300 total
• Extended: 200  200 per captive, 600  600 total
• Nightmare: 300  300 per captive, 900  900 total

If the player(s) qualify for at least Nightmare Rank 1 rewards, and have completed both The War Within and Call of the Tempestarii beforehand, a Candidate will spawn back on the Corpus Ship. The player that dealt the final hit to her will be allowed to Mercy her, generating a Sister of Parvos for that player.

Notes[]

• Players cannot interact with the Golden Hand Tribute if there are enemies nearby.
• Errant Specters do not drop pickups.
  • However, abilities and augments that increase drop rate, such as  Energy Generator,  Exothermic,  Reaping Chakram,  Spectrosiphon, and  Synth Deconstruct, will cause Specters to have a chance to drop orbs.
• Errant Specters do not contribute to Exterminate objectives.
• The Zanuka Hunter, Stalker, and Void Fissure Corrupted can appear inside the Void. They will be shunted out of the Void when the timer ends.
• During Survival missions, life support still runs out within the Void, so plan accordingly.
  • Errant Specters do however, drop life support

Tips[]

• Due to lack of pickups, players should bring Team Bonus Consumables and weapons with high reserve ammo, modded with ammo efficiency or with infinite self-regenerating ammo to help alleviate the lack of drops.
•  Xoris is the best weapon for this game mode, due to its ability to instantly kill specters and free captured Solaris, particularly when paired with a full-auto, one-handed secondary.
•  Mesa's  Peacemaker can be used to quickly kill enemies within range as long as energy is kept up. (Note: After Jade's Shadow the Peacemaker is unable to target specters)
•  Vauban's Tether in  Minelayer will not be able to grab and pull specters, however it will constantly attempt to do so dealing constant link damage and eventually killing specters and particles.
•  Volt's  Discharge can be used to soften up groups of enemies or outright kill them, and regenerate shields for defensive purposes with  Capacitance
•  Octavia's  Mallet can be used to passively damage specters as they attack, as long as they are within range and line of sight of the Mallet.
•  Revenant's  Danse Macabre can be used to quickly kill specters from a decent range. Stand on a rock as the beams damage things below the level of Revenant's outstretched arm, but not above it.
•  Mirage's  Prism with max range can make easy work of specters. Use  Natural Talent to speed up the casting time.
•  Wukong's  Celestial Twin should make this mission more bearable, particularly when attempting it solo.

Trivia[]

• The Lotus serves as mission control for the Granum Void, despite her complete lack of involvement in The Deadlock Protocol.

Bugs[]

• Freeing captive Solaris before accessing the Granum Void may disable all abilities when accessing the Void and even after it, so either refrain from freeing Solaris before accessing the Void or avoid them altogether.
•  Wisp's  Reservoirs placed outside the Void will allow her to teleport to them through  Breach Surge. She cannot reenter if the Void gate is closed, and is barred from collecting rewards if she remains outside.
• If the Zanuka Hunter enters the mission before the player accesses the Granum Void, and is not defeated, the Zanuka Hunter may teleport the player back outside of the void. The player cannot reenter if the Void gate is closed, and is barred from collecting rewards if they remain outside.
• Using Transference immediately after returning from Granum Void can cause the animation to replay on the Operator.
