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

DEVS see this.

Like they care.

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

Anyone marked is up for some hunt? I'm in game now.

[Felandi]

Spawn rate has to go up to what it previously was, this is ridiculous. It is not like even the stalker was a constant presence. There was no need to reduce the spawn chance of either enemy.

 

(Been doing nothing but grineer invasions when available to try and get a mark, still no harvester.)

[Brynslustafir]

Yeah, still haven't gotten an encounter since the update. 

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

Yeah, still haven't gotten an encounter since the update. 

You got the message? Or you had a mark before?

[Brynslustafir]

You got the message? Or you had a mark before?

Still haven't gotten an encounter or a message. 

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

Still haven't gotten an encounter or a message. 

Ok then you have to wait for an encounter before getting a message, as me; I had an encounter, now I'll check as soon as I'm able to do an invasion...

[bear38122]

I got the email last night....now just waiting....got the bp 2 weeks ago and nothing since

[SALE94]

Like they care.

 

I think they still care but for some weird reason, they like too play with us, like cat and mouse.

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

Hope the next invasion is not US only...

[General_Krull]

Hope the next invasion is not US only...

You mean the well thought out and balanced and fair rewards like corpus offering catalyst and grineer offering 50k credits? 

[Storchenbein]

You mean the well thought out and balanced and fair rewards like corpus offering catalyst and grineer offering 50k credits? 

 

Now you said it, next is going to be Catalyst vs. 3 Gallium.

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

Yeah, with those rewards invasions last for only a few hours...

Also, if siding with the corpus gives a Harvester mark as well, why so unbalanced rewards??

[SALE94]

You are legend general krull :)

So sarcastic.

[Alspect]

Just wild idea that cross my mind today.

 

How about suporting the Grineer while you have a dragon key on you. maybe you are "week" and the hardvester comes

or they want to take the key from you. just a wild idea XD.

[DeltaF0rce]

Something which i do not understand yet is the mark trigger:

 

Do only Grineer Invasions where you decide to support them trigger a Harvester mark? Or is it also possible to receive that mark by killing Corpus bosses?

 

Cause waiting for Grineer Invasions to show up feels a bit meh.

[Dead_Rabbits]

I've done almost every invasion mission so far since it's introduction, supporting grineer as well.

 

And I have yet to see the harvester once, he hasn't even come after a squad member much less me.

No, every single boss triggers the stalker, so if you want the Harvester to spawn do not kill bosses.

playing cat and mouse for 150h?

Pro tip 53:

Just stop trying.

[SALE94]

Pro tip 53:

Just stop trying.

 

But i did so many runs from time too time i need to try :(

[Virtus_Dei_Est]

why the invasions stopped?

 

i hope DE is fixing something...

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

Stopped? Another invasion was started at the same time of the last one, meaning it's again US only??

[Virtus_Dei_Est]

i dont have any grineer / corpus invasion in my chart right now, no idea why then...

 

i am in south america.
