The Corrupted consist of Corpus, Grineer, and Infested creatures implanted with a control device that hijacks their psyche, allowing the Neural Sentry of the Orokin Towers to manipulate them. They are the primary enemy of the Void, the Undercroft of Duviri, as well as Lua's Conjunction Survival (Yuvarium and Circulus). They also appear in Derelict Orokin Towers upon breaching their Orokin Vaults.
Their Faction is listed as Orokin in the Codex, who, regardless of their former faction, take increased damage from
Puncture and
Viral, but resist
Radiation.
Most Corrupted appear shining white, with golden hues pulsating through their bodies. Their bodies are "perfected" in a way that mirrors the Orokin aesthetic taste: this is especially evident of Corrupted Grineer units, whose crude armor is replaced by golden, symmetrical plates and bionics.
The Neural Sentry also provides the Corrupted with Orokin weapons and defenses to aid in the protection of the tower. The tower is not without its own defense and utilizes flying sentries similar to Shield Ospreys that provide shields to the Corrupted. Orokin towers also sport defense turrets, elemental dangers, and cleverly hidden traps.
An Orokin-controlled Grineer Lancer. In comparison to normal Lancers, Corrupted Lancers have lower HP pools and doubled armor values. They wield
Grakatas and throw grenades in a manner similar to regular Lancers.
Grineer Butchers enslaved by Orokin Neural Sentries to defend the Orokin Void, Corrupted Butchers are slightly tougher than their normal counterparts. Aside from that, they are identical to their normal counterparts.
Grineer Drahk Masters enslaved by Orokin Neural Sentries after exploring Lua for treasure, Corrupted Drahk Masters are slightly tougher than their normal counterparts. Aside from that, they are identical to their normal counterparts.
Grineer Drahks, like their masters, became enslaved by the Neural Sentry and are slightly toughter than their normal counterparts.
An Orokin-controlled Corpus Crewman. Like regular Crewmen, Corrupted Crewmen are protected by shielding, and have heavily armored heads. They differ from Corpus crewmen, as they wield
Arca Plasmor shotguns instead of
Dera plasma repeaters.
Corpus Nullifier Crewmen enslaved by the Orokin Void Tower's Neural Sentry, featuring their nullification fields capable of neutralizing Warframe powers as well as absorbing ranged attacks.
Orokin drones that behave in a similar manner to Shield Ospreys, projecting shields to nearby Corrupted allies. The energy shields created by Corrupted drones recharge instantly, and their charging rate is rapid.
Orokin-controlled Grineer Heavy Gunners. They share the same abilities and traits as regular Heavy Gunners, but have twice as much HP as the regular Grineer units.
Orokin-controlled Bombards. The Corrupted Bombards are identical to their normal counterparts, with the exception of having golden rockets that curve at a faster rate.
These Corrupted Fusion MOAs behave in a similar manner to their Corpus brethren.
Deployed by Corrupted MOAs, Corrupted Drones behave like and look like Drones.
An Orokin-controlled Infested Ancient Healer. Corrupted Ancients behave just like normal Ancient Healers, regularly healing all other Corrupted units nearby while granting them Overguard.
Corrupted Vor is Captain Vor after becoming corrupted and the boss of the Orokin Void, found as an encounter in the high-level Void missions (Level ≥40) or The Circuit Exterminate. After being revived by his own Void Key sometime after his defeat at the hands of the Tenno, Vor has abandoned his ties to the Grineer and since turned into the guardian of the Void. Vor will make his presence known via a taunting transmission, after which he will appear near players to engage them in battle.
Upon defeat in the Orokin Void, he is guaranteed to drop one of the four status/elemental
Toxin Mods:
Malignant Force,
Virulent Scourge,
Pistol Pestilence and
Toxic Barrage, along with either an
Orokin Cell or
Argon Crystal. In The Circuit, he is guaranteed to drop a
Rune Marrow.
The Corrupted Jackal is a Corrupted variant of the Jackal that appears exclusively in The Circuit Assassination. It is an ordinary Jackal proxy that was sent into the Void by the Corpus to explore Duviri in their stead and got lost in the Undercroft.
Upon its defeat it is guaranteed to drop a
Rune Marrow.
