Finding Out How To Spawn The Harvester

[Zulaica]

So we've nailed down a few things about him but there is still much to know, if you have any sort of substantial evidence please post so.

 

Primes increase chances of finding Harvester

Being involved in the Gradivus Dillema increases the chances of spawning it (This should be self explanatory players that registered after the event are having as much luck as those who supported the Grineer or Corpus full and through during it)

Specific weapons increase chances of spawning Harvester

Planets have higher chances of spawning Harvester (As long as its a Corpus mission he can spawn)

Being in a mission from the start of it increases the chances of spawning Harvester

Low level weapons/frames increase chances of spawning Harvester (Likely has nothing to do with loadouts)

Corpus defense has highest chances of spawning Harvester (Apparently not true, he spawns on any Corpus mission after 240 seconds after spawning it seems)

Having both a Stalker mark and Harvester mark spawns the Harvester ???

Killing Alad V gives death mark to spawn Harvester ???

Other Corpus bosses besides Alad V give a death mark to spawn the Harvester ???

Nef.Anyo is a Harvester mark trigger ???

Highest chances of finding Harvester are on invasions against Corpus ✓(Confirmed on Livestream 20 that it is triggered by supporting Grineer)

You get a email in your inbox when you have a mark ✓

If you have anything you would like to add or confirm/deconfirm please feel free to post it.

TL:DR Support grineer until you get a email but be aware that the probabilities are butchered for the Harvester to appear according to the people on the Livestream

[Splatter_Puppet]

 

I just got contacted . . .

[ensignvidiot]

nice, well. we now have a definite way to tell we are being hunted.

 

slightly off topic, but has anyone gotten the Stalker's message yet?

[Valiant]

I'm wondering what this harvested thing is o_O and slightly concerned. 

[tigrex]

so  what did you done for this? 

[Raze4573]

Its a bit creepy...but at least we know they care about us <3

[Dataz]

How you get contact? kill boss? or ramdomly?

I just did my first run of Setebos invasion against Corpus. I didn't have this message before it. Let's see what will happen next. Will post here my results of hunting!

Just did a Saturn Invasion mission on Setebos with the new notification patch active (sided with Grineer, 1/5), and got a notification from Salad saying I've, ah, "volunteered" to be part of the Zanuka project as well.

 

Here's to hoping one copydog starts appearing on my Corpus runs. ^^

yep same here just started on first setebos invasion and got the message aswell

[Azure_Kytia]

This is a good step in the right direction.

Why's your message different than everyone elses?

[Trowicia]

This is a good step in the right direction.

 

Indeed.

[DarknightK]

Try losing to the Harvester in solo mode.

It's pretty...interesting.

I think it's just random and the rest of us just happened to get the same message. I don't think there's any actual difference.

[AllenJayVash]

Yea, just doing 1 Grineer sided invasion mission gave me the Alad V message. Which is &#036;&amp;*&amp;*#(%&amp; because from the Update notes, it shouldn't have come until I met the harvester and it had a chance to reset the mark.  So either I didn't have a mark until that 1 mission... with my 7 battle pays and 0 spawns... or the notes are wrong.  I would believe either.

[Azure_Kytia]

Considering a lot of people here (Including myself) after getting these messages after 1 mission, I'd say it's likely the latter. Wouldn't be the first time the Patch Notes aren't entirely truthful.

That being said, this is a good kind of mistake xD

lol i just found out that.. 

so far 3 run defense still not showing the harvester after that message.. i think alad v got wrong number to send message on me,.

[egregiousRac]

The new ability the Harvester has is that it can now teleport its target to it. If you take the elevator on Io to get away from it so you can invite other people it teleports you back.

Check DarknightK's topic on it. It's surprisingly awesome and makes me take back anything bad I ever said about the Detron or Harvester.

[Kato-san]

So He msg me and now I playing games vs corpus and he still not showing, how this any different from what it used to be?

So after the latest update, I logged in, did one Grineer invasion, then killed Nef Anyo, then got a mail from Alad V right after that.
