It's not your fault

I think Cavalero tried to warn us about the fact that, once aware of this challenge, it will hunt you forever.








DENY: it is not possible
You played Warframe more than 3000h, constantly farming for anything.
You played efficiently, cooperating with other Tenno to make the galaxy safer.
You just passed Grand Master (max rank), using benediction on the futur generation of Tenno.
You teach them how to be the greatest version of themselfves. You consider them as your own children.
You feel complete, enjoying every part of this journey on this amazing game.
This game is great. DE is amazing. Community is awesome.

But you only have only 10% of this achievement?!

How is it even possible. It has to be a joke right?!

Eventually, you released it is not, your world crashed and you started to feel depressed.
Sadly, you're no longer capable of sharing happiness in the Tenno's Community...

ANGER: how could DE did that to us
It is perfectly fine to feel anger against such a stupid achievement. Don't worry, you did everythings right. It's not your fault.
Here are some reasons why:
  • K-Drive is useless on large area -> we use Archwings for more efficiency.
  • K-Drive's mods are cool, but not required -> so we skip this part.
  • K-Drive is boring to play: you can't do anything but fall on the ground because you hit a small rock on the road.
  • The only reason to use K-Drive is because it is fun. But it is not (for now at least).

NEGOCIATION: how could you do it without suffering
I'm sorry Tenno, you can't. This is part of the process. But don't worry, you will see in this guide that we can modify our internal quest to finally enjoy this challenge. This will require patience and liability (but you already have those if you're here).
So you tried to ask the community about how to cheat. But eventually, every methods gets fixed by DE and your pain go stronger at every tries.

At this point, you can no longer believe that a developper missed an input and accidentaly put six "0" instead of 5 on this achievement. It was premeditated. Your second dream was a warm up.

DEPRESSION: why everything has to be so hard
The world seems to mock you. You put so much effort into this for pretty much nothing...
Without this achievement, your life is meaningless.

I've been depressed in my life, a lot. And what I've learned is that your mindset makes you believed you can't do anything about it.
Here is the truth: you can do everything. You're in charge in you life, and that means it is up to you to stay depressed, or to move forward!

ACCEPTATION: open you mind and move forward
Congratulation. You've passed the real Grand Master challenge.
Yes, the Mastery Rank 30 was a bait. The real challenge was in real life: keep calm and relax when seeing this challenge not even progressing through hours, days or weeks.







Concrete possibilities before going mad

You have now evolved, many choices are offered to you.

Have an hypnosis session to forget
Don't do that. You will eventually have to go over the whole depression again. This would only spoil your adaptation process.
Forget is not a solution. Even the Lotus tried, and failed.

Ignore this achievement
It is up to you. But I don't recommend it. You get depressed because of that, remember?
Ignoring problems only make them stronger over time. No. Fixed them as soon as you encounter them.

Stop playing Warframe
It is a possibility. But this is a great game, with many updates over years. You may want to play again, and finally get depressed again. I suggest you try other method.

Pay your brother/sister/children to let them do it for you
This migth be temping, but I will assume if you live with him/her/them, you actually love him/her/them.
This challenge is going to crush their integrities, making them mad and crazy for the rest of their lifes. We don't want that.







Legal way to do it

Indeed, this is our responsibility. So, what are our possibilties?

Do it legally
You jump on your K-Drive on the Orbis Valley and drove forward, in solo mode. You raced for 10 minutes non-stop. You checked your scores. You did only +3000 m.
Before you get depressed again, remember you already overcross this. Move forward.
So, how to improve you efficiency?


Farm Ventkids Syndic
This syndicat is hidden in Fortuna. Level it up is actually pretty easy.
The quickest way is to do some races in the Orbis valley every day. Pick the easiest one (it's important as the difficult one are way longer to do), and loop it. By easiest, I mean one race with simple curves and low chances to fall due to a bad boy rock.
Don't try to do some tricks, only rush the objectives on K-Drive. When you hit the final point, drive you archwing and go back to the starting point. Do it again.
This results on an average 1000-3000 points every 1-2 minutes, making the whole daily farming in 10-15 minutes.

Buy Ventkids K-Drive Speed Mods
With your syndic points, buy mods related to speed. This will allow you to complete the daily farm even quicker. And the 1.000.000 meters challenge to.



Buy the Perfect Balance mod
This mod allow you to resist 60% of the little plants and rocks on the rock that can make you fall from your K-Drive. A must have. Because a lot of rocks want to see you down.


Try some race paterns on the Orbis Valley
This challenge is out of the ordinary, so I suggest to simply not bother with it. Use your K-Drive only if you want to, if it's sounds fun to you, or seems useful (it won't happend). Don't force yourself to use K-Drive.
It takes an average of 1 minute to drive 1.000 meters.
So, you need grossly 1000 minutes = 16.6 hours of driving non-stop, without falling (it won't happen neither).

Congratulations, you did every fun parts of it
You tried everything, you can be proud of it. It is now time to consider less legal ways to complete the remaining 80% of this dumb challenge.







Legal way to NOT do it
You jump on your K-Drive, AGAIN, on the Orbis Valley and drove forward, in solo mode. You raced for 10 minutes non-stop. You checked your scores. You did only +3001 m.
You're not supprised anymore. You move forward by your own like the New Loka teach you.

So, if we can't do it without going mad, how about enjoying searching for an easy way to do it.
Searching a way to legally cheat this challenge is actually way more fun than doing it properly.


Search a funny way to do it
Because gaming time should be fun and captivating and NOT a painful road of K-Drive runs, here are some ways to speed up the process.
I'll assume DE will add cool K-Drive races in the futur, or opened areas with no archwings, forcing us to use hoverboards. But right now, we have to cure our madness and get this challenge.


Fall in the Void
The quickest way to achieve 1.000.000 meters is actually to fall in the void riding your K-Drive. DE put a lot of effort to fix that bug-use. Hopefully, we still can use it somehow.
So we have to find our own way to glitch out the map. It is simple in theory:
  • Find a spot and reset your spawnpoint using your operator mode, looking at the direction to sprint at (this will spawn in the correct orientation, allowing you to play one handed)
  • Use sprint on a K-Drive to max your speed
  • Hit a wall that will eject you in the Void
  • Fall in the void and wait your warframe to get back on his/her feet
  • Equip K-Drive again and fall for approx 4.500 meters in 32 seconds
  • Repeat
4.500 meters in 32 seconds means 8400 meters/minutes, resulting on a 2 hours falling to complete the challenge. Plus, it's one handed gameplay: you need "forward", "sprint" and the shortcut for K-Drive.

Other way to speed up the process soon...
Please comment below to share your own tips about farming this challenge!







Make K-Drive great again (suggestions for DE)
Complaining is great. Act is better.
Of course, reducing by 10 times this achievement is the quickest way to fix this madness, but DE won't do that. So, here are some ideas I found, to make K-Drive great again! If you have any idea about it, please, comment below!

Create a sport for K-Drive
Like the Lunaro sport (wich is really cool if you really try it), K-Drive need a competitive/cooperative sport. Obviously, we think about racing stuff.

The Daily Racing Quest
A simple way to add interest in K-Drive could be to add daily quest, such as the Sortie or the Syndic Quests. It is important that the quest is visible on the Naviguation menu.
This race is simple: you drive your equipped K-Drive and you try your best on a race (with speed booster, jumps, timer reduction on tricks, shortcuts...), with an average of 1-3 minutes to complete. This may result on a 3.000 meters accomplished per day.
This quest could be solo, or better, multiplayer (4-8 players) with bots, allowing players to beat some of the competitors. K-Drive speed mods are available, making them required to perform, but useless to have fun. You earn points whatever your ranking is.

The K-Drive Syndic
A championship, organised by Anio and the Corpus investors. You know what this means... Yeah, CREDITS! But first, you will have to earn your trophies (syndic points) by racing every day. The daily quest was actually a warm up. Here are the real competitors.
Races are always the same, allowing players to learn them. Leaderboards are available and reset over weeks.
With syndic points, you can buy mods for K-Drive, K-Drive parts, credits, emotes, glyphs and social stuff.

The K-Drive Hub
Like any Relay, this area is opened to any Tenno. But this one is dedicated to K-Drive runs. The naviguation area is, in fact, a place to join K-Drive race missions. No other syndic, just a social place to chat and show of your K-Drive skills!


Make K-Drive usefull

Create an open area without archwings
Eidolon Plains, Orbis Valley and Cambion Drift are all opened to archwings.
Imagine the next area, restricted to K-Drive. Due to some anti-aircraft guns, archwings are not allowed. Of course, the terrain have to be adapted with a low details ground. May be some "modern city skycraper" area? Anyway, the K-Drive will be the fastest way to move, resulting on frequent uses.

В прошлом году решил заняться этой ачивкой. После того как поездил 20 минут просто по карте и увидев мизерное пополнение расстояния я решил придумать как сделать это проще. Додумался до этого абуза с падением в пустоту, вставил вилку в клавиатуру чтобы она давила всегда на клавишу W и ушел по делам на пару часов, придя домой увидел что ачивка выполнена :lunar2019grinningpig:
