dumb question

[Marss]

would limbos' rift ability, i think its called, work for spy missions, and yes i know forget everything and use ivara. But thats literally the reason WHY im doing spy missions in the first place, and dont have alot of options to do them efficiently. Which comes back to my question

[DYSEQTA]

Limbo is effectively broken by the changes made to Eximus units. Eximus units are more powerful than Limbo as they can currently control the rift better than he can apparently.

However that is not directly related to your question as such. The rift does not break visibility so enemies will still see you. However, putting yourself in the rift allows you to walk through lasers and not be detected by the camera-like sensors. So if you couple Limbo with a pet that can stealth you then, "Yeah", I could see Limbo being pretty great for spy.

Enemies will still spot you while you're in the rift, so, generally speaking no.

But, it works for lua spy missions where all the laser beams that set off the traps won't hit limbo since he's in the void, and... there's no enemies who set off the alarms.

So basically an overall win, thanks guys

What companion would you recommend to turn me invisible?

[Pharaoh]

Just use Shade sentinel along with any warframe of your choice. Just don't shoot or do anything and simply run through and past all the enemies. easy peezy

[Emperor Palpoutine]

ash or loki are also good choices to be perma-invisible.

Your options are :

- Huras Kubrow, with mod "stalk"
- Shade, Sentinel, with mod "ghost"

Both turns you invisible IF there's an enemy within 24m, with direct line of sight from the kubrow or sentinel. Attacking will end the invisibility.

They are a bit... unreliable. But they're ok-ish if you're cautious and not looking for perma-invisibility (which they can achieve in Steel Path because there are more enemies, always, everywhere at all time).

You could use the "Skiajati" nikana (requires you to have completed "The Sacrifice" main quest) : this weapon turns you invisible for 5s when you perform finishers and allows you to chain back stabs to refresh the invisibility.

i also recommend crafting a bunch of ciphers if you haven't already, makes them a lot faster, and there's a '100x cipher' blueprint on the market too btw

personally the warframe does not matter so much, as you can just speedrun + dodge through any lasers and finish the hack way faster than they can delete (i dont remember but i don't think it matters if they spot you or not, as long as you get the hack then you get the same reward pool)
i think the only map where you could possibly be too slow is lua, the rest are all pretty straightforward
i like using wisp for her invisibility passive + her lightning buff destroys cameras lol, and her teleportation sometimes, but you obviously already got someone that works

limbo imune to door barrier and lazers in the rift but cameras and enimys can still phisicaly see you so hes good for lua as cameras are not a thing there

Oh thats cool didnt know that! So far ive probably done aound 50 runs in total and only got the systems, thought it might've been because of alarms at the time. Thanks for the info!

[lowgrav]

also just so you know if you deploy air support charges (gear wheel item) which can be built at foundry if you have the landing craft segment from dojo tenno lab ordis can help if you trip an alarm

if you trip an alarm you call ordis and after a few second delay he will pause the data destruction timer for a few seconds it has a 5 min cooldown but those few seconds can help with a run to the consol (also works for rescue missions to temporary halt the exicution timer)

[Marss]

I will never get over how helpful and informative this community is, thank you all

Cameras still see you if you're in the rift.
