Regulators are floating Grineer support drones found in Grineer Settlements. They can be deployed by any Grineer units and their propaganda broadcasts provide allies around them with increased damage and movement speed along with disrupting the player's mini-map.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • Grineer units within 26m of a Regulator gain the following buffs:
  • Multiple regulator buffs stack additively.
  • Players within 26m of a Regulator will have their mini-map disrupted.
  • Regulator does not count towards the tally numbers during Exterminate missions.
  • Players who use headphones or headsets can take advantage of searching Regulators through their voices.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • They are first introduced as a "reward" of the Operation: Arid Fear.
  • Regulators look and function similar to the Grineer Informers but do not disappear on the first shot that does not kill them.
  • They function as a kind of announcer for the Grineer, as a female voice can be heard announcing messages in Grineer language.
  • It seems the Regulators were mentioned in the Arid Fear victory lore. Captain Vor mentions in his message to the Twin Queens that he will "bring their messages of encouragement to rile up the troops". Judging by the female voice of the Regulator's broadcast, it is possible that the messages being broadcast are those of the Queens.
  • After the Informer project failed, the Grineer removed the Orokin cloaking device and replaced it with a radio transmitter that transmitted propaganda to the frontlines.
  • The word "Gaser" is written all over it in Grineer language.
  • They can be  Mind Controlled by  Nyx, however, they do not provide any buffs to the player faction.
    • Even whilst Mind-Controlled, they will still scramble the Tenno's map, and continue to buff enemy Grineer.

Bugs[edit | edit source]

  • Regulators spawned in Void Capture Grineer themed missions cannot become  Mind Controlled, however Regulators that are found elsewhere can.
  • After the Frontier Regulator was added into the game, the name of the gray Regulators from Phobos in the codex was incorrectly changed to Frontier Regulator as well.
