Rerolling Relic Drops..?

[Forra]

So this seems.. exploit-y, but I've not found clear info about it either way. Still..

Entering a void mission, I am warned that if I gain enough void essence to open the relic and extract, I will lose the relic (obviously).

So what happens if I open the relic during an endless mission, only to abort or fail the objective rather than extract? People tell me I get the relic back to prevent frustration, which seems nice, but.. doesn't that mean I could go into a survival mission for instance, play for five minutes to open a relic.. and then bail if the relic doesn't drop what I want and just try again with the same relic?

Pretty sure that you'd lose the relic and the drop if you did that. I've never tested it myself, but DE would have most definitely thought about this.

The game detects when you've opened a relic. If you abort a mission after opening a relic, you won't get the drop and you'll lose the relic. You HAVE to finish the mission and get to extraction to get the reward. It shouldn't matter if you failed the mission either, it's your fault for not extracting after getting the drop you wanted.

As far as I know, you lose the Relic and Ordis sends you an inbox message with the rewards you got in that mission from said Relics

Ah..
Well either way that's a bit of a relief. Maybe I'll try it with something cheap sometime to be sure, but for now, thanks!

I asked the same thing.

I was told by the majority that you lose the relics as soon as you crack them. Period. Like the nstant you get 10 traces the relic disappears from your inventory.

So trying to exploit the relic by dopping out mid-game would only make you lose the rewards the relic gave up.
