Arbitrations is an alert-style game mode, featuring elite versions of endless missions with various modifiers. It was introduced in Update 23.10 (2018-10-12).

All Star Chart nodes must be completed before participating in Arbitrations. 

Mechanics

There is only one Arbitration up at any given point on the Star Chart. The Arbitration alert will change every hour. 

  • The mission type will always be endless (Survival, Interception, Defense, Excavation, Defection, or Infested Salvage). Enemy level starts around Lv.60-80 and increases from there.
  • Players cannot revive themselves or other players. Once a player loses all their HP, they do not enter Bleedout phase: they die immediately.
  • Rewards are on a ABCC~C rotation. After the first two rotations, the Arbitration will continue on the C rotation endlessly.
    • Rewards will be earned at half the rate as normal missions (e.g. Survival gives one reward every 10 minutes, Defense gives one reward every 10 waves).
  • Failing the mission keeps any rewards earned at the end of a rotation but not the resources or credits the enemies dropped.
  • To encourage gameplay diversity, players are given a +300% Ability Strength bonus and a +300% Damage bonus to a random Warframe and Weapon for each alert. The affected Warframe and weapon change from one player to another: for example, one player will be given bonuses for playing with Excalibur and/or a Skana while another player will be given bonuses for playing with Mag and/or a Braton.
  • Arbitration Shield Drones will spawn among the enemy ranks. They work like upgraded Shield Ospreys in that they grant complete damage and ability immunity to nearby enemies (except other Arbitration Drones).
  • Each endless mission type will have added difficulty:
    • Survival: Life Support Capsules are worth 75% of usual.
    • Interception: Enemy towers will fill 2x faster.
    • Defense: Roaming defense NPC and there will be much less downtime in-between waves.
    • Excavation: Defense time is increased from 100 seconds to 180 seconds.
    • Defection: Rescue targets cannot be revived.
    • Infested Salvage: Consoles have half their normal health.

Rewards

Rewards are given out at half the rate as normal missions and are on a ABCCCCC rotation, C continuing endlessly.

Upon extraction, players will obtain a single sample of Vitus Essence for every rotation they have completed. This essence can be traded for cosmetic items, Power Donation and Cautious Shot from the Arbiter of Hexis NPC in the Relays.

Tips

  • The Arbitration Shield Drones are immune to all Warframe abilities and can share this trait with enemies around them on top of the damage immunity. On the other hand, destroying the drones causes a powerful explosion that deals massive Blast damage to enemies in the area of the explosion. Deal with the drones as quickly as possible. Projectile launchers or weapons with large projectile hitboxes such as Arca Plasmor are ideal for this task, as the drones are fairly small and move around quickly.
    • The ability immunity extends to Limbo's Rift Plane, in that they are unable to enter it and therefore cannot be killed by someone inside the Rift even while inside a Cataclysm. You can still switch to your Operator to damage the drones as it cannot enter the Rift Plane either. Enemies protected by the drones will not damage players inside the rift.
  • In most cases, it is recommended to play as the Warframe suggested by the Arbitration because of the great Ability Strength bonus given to that specific Warframe for the alert. Additionally, the bonus allows the player to remove Ability Strength mods in favor of something else should they choose to do so.
  • Play it safe. Remember that you cannot revive yourself or your teammates: death is instant and permanent. Stay close to your teammates and proceed with extreme caution, especially in later rotations where every hazard can potentially cost your squad the mission.
