Spy missions suck

♥♥♥♥ spy missions

Might have to agree with this even with 3k hours and legendary 3.
Too many times public lobby spy mission ended with mission failed XD.
As result now I only do spy missions solo with a wukong and perspicacity, breeze through it quickly but still kinda tedious to do at least for me.

Easy and fast, but boring at the same time.

[Error3000]

personally I enjoy most of the spy vaults layouts, some grineer ones are atrocious but there are frames that just bypass every mechanic in the vaults anyway so eh

wukong

[bobes sponja]

whatever you think about spy we can all agree that its still infinitely better than defense

[Basan™]

To be rather blunt about it, it's all a matter of preferences for most and subjective to say the least.

Imho, I heavilly prefer Spy missions over Hijack or Defense missions.
Heck, there are times in which I even do Spy missions with my Wisp considering that mine has a configuration with the Aero Vantage's Exilus mod that enables her to maintain her innate passive's air invisibility for quite a bit.

I think they're nicely chill for the most part since they harken back a bit to the older days - assuming you don't hard-cheese them with Wukong.
Obviously doing them in public is out of the question and would ruin the vibe anyway.

Like so many things, they're worse in the new Corpus tiles with too much focus on gimmicks and zero ways to recover if something goes wrong. Lua sticks out in that regard as well.

Oh and Narmer Spy with a controller? Hah, no.
Perspicacity or a quick swap to M/KB.

They're hard work until you get Ivara, her Prowl augment, and a Protea helminth power. Then they become an easy weapon MR farm you can do while watching a video.

[Mr_Barry]

To follow up on my previous post, I completed the spy mission anyway, so it really isn't an issue now

[Wiergate]

just use limbo, the rift and untraceable mod on your parazon (invis after hack) will let you bypass anything
also using wukong is a sign of skill issue (seriously unless you like being bored for whatever reason, don't bother with using him for spy)

[Kalenath]

Wukong and Ivara make almost all spy missions a joke.

Only the one on Lua gives me any trouble at all.

[tv]

only the lua ones

[Basan™]

@ Mr_Barry: Btw, if you're using Ivara it's highly adviseable to get her Augment mod' too, which is Infiltrate (and I believe to have gotten mine out of NightWaves's rewards. That mod enables you to bypass grids without being detected and something else useful along those line that evades my mind atm.

You don't need a dedicated frame for Spy missions.
Your Operator works just fine by having Void Mode invisibility and Void Sling to get around rooms.
