CommodoX Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'm doing a T1 Capture mission and in the room with the 2 golden balls in the ceiling one has loot in it (loot radar shows it). But they don't open when firing at them. I stepped on the platform in the middle for activating. Is there a time limit for shooting them? Do they only open short after stepping on the button and after that it's impossible to loot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 TheArcSet Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) You can break the containers whether or not the orbs are open, with with melee heavy slams, AoE or punch-through. Then you can vacuum with proximity, or open the orbs, with the trap pressure plates, to drop stars. The intended way was to open the orbs and quickly shoot the crates, but Warframe moved past that route very quickly. I'd suggest just jumping up and slamming on them.

Years ago, void traps in general used to not always trigger all (or any of) their linked hidden walls, orbs, etc. Then at some point they changed/fixed it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pressure plate can be triggered only once and the treasure vaults close after a moment. The best tactic is to break containers with [spoiler] mode or Heavy attack slams first, then trigger the plate. Some resources can be looted through the surface when jumping against the vaults(after containers within have been broken). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Lutesque Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Oh that... Yeah You have to Step on The Plate in the centre of them room... this will cause no both Spheres to Roll open.... But then will Slam Shut again very Quickly.... If I remember correctly I used The Astilla to Smash open Those Crates causing The Mods to fall.... Conversely if you have Limbo... His Cataclysm can smash them open without the need to Open the Spheres...because he is GOD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked too. They asked a question that no one answered, (apparently there were answers but the forums didn't show them to me until just now when I came to check a reply to my comment. They're displayed out of chronological order too.) and then 7 years after they asked and 5 years after they stopped even coming to the forums someone finally answers. I wonder if they still play and just don't come to the forums, or if they haven't seen the game in all this time.

X3Evanescence Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Not all Death Orbs can be activated through buttons. Some I think can't be activated once you have activated a certain switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpongyPenguin Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Here is your answer: In that large room, there is a circular panel in the very center of the room (down in the 'valley' area) that when stepped on for the first time will open only one of the two golden balls for a few seconds. Shoot the containers during this short time windows and the loot will fall to the floor below. Warning! Stepping on the panel also activates the void traps in the area. This includes some void lasers and knockdown traps. Be sure to watch out for them when going to get the loot that dropped from the ceiling! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherIcarus Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 A trick is if you have punch through on your weapons you can break the loot crates before the orbs open, thus if you do this you don't need to worry about only having a very small amount of time for them to open as they will fall out instantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
CommodoX
I'm doing a T1 Capture mission and in the room with the 2 golden balls in the ceiling one has loot in it (loot radar shows it).
But they don't open when firing at them. I stepped on the platform in the middle for activating.
Is there a time limit for shooting them? Do they only open short after stepping on the button and after that it's impossible to loot?
