Survival Oxygen Bug (Or Common Sense Failure)

[SilentCynic]

Once your O2 levels hit 0% in Survival, activating an O2 canister spawns its visual/audio effects, has Lotus speak her lines, but does not actually add to your O2 levels, and you proceed to choke to death.

 

I can't tell if this is intended design, but it definitely doesn't make sense from a logical perspective.

If it hit's 0 and no one is at extraction, you lose. I'm pretty sure this is intentional.

[MrGrae]

I think it's intended to make the end of the mission definitive, you've lost, go to extraction. But logically yes, it is a bit weird.

[Cryp2Nite]

Yeah, I also noticed that. The game triggers alot of wrong Lotus sounds past U10 generally.

If it hit's 0 and no one is at extraction, you lose. I'm pretty sure this is intentional.

No, if it hits zero, your life gets drained till 5 hp. If your team dies and don't get to extraction, the mission will fail.

the mission wont fail if the o2 reaches 0, your hp just drains out. 

it fails if you all died.

Rhino's Iron Skin usually saves the day in these situations. As it stops the hp drain (and makes you invulnerable as usual).

 

I managed to save the mission a couple times by running around resurrecting teammates while they were running for their lives to extraction after oxygen reached 0 (while I was taking potshots at the odd mob in the way).

 

 

On a slightly less relevant note, I thought the "common sense failure" mentioned in the title was that Warframes seem to be perfectly able to survive in a vacuum (i.e. without air and oxygen). So the whole "they are depleting the oxygen, RUN!" is a bit nonsense.

 

I mean, at extraction they climb on the exterior of a spacecraft and stay there while it goes away. While you hear the wooosh of the air rushing out of the Corpus/Grineer vessel/asteroid.

 

Although I do like the mechanic of Survival missions.
