How Do The Beacons Work?

[TheSteelRat]

So the void trader allows us to buy beacons.

 

Before I waste my ducats.. how dose it work?  I am already marked by all 3 (G3, Stalker, Zanuka) so is the Beacon a Gear item, or a way to gain the mark without doing anything for it?

 

if it is to get marked, there is no reason why I would ever buy it

You use the beacon, they spawn. Simple as that.

 

Single use, doesn't matter if you're marked or not.

Buy, equip them. Used G3 beacon in Grineer missions, Z-Hunter use it in courpus missions and stalker, use it when you feel like

It's a great idea, but should be a blueprint with high material costs; nitain, argon (stalker), oxium, tellurium, forma, fieldron (zanuka), detonite injectors (G3), etc.

 

I don't think that the ducats are worth a single-use beacon to spawn the assassin for an RNG chance for a piece of a weapon that you may or may not need. Although it would be a great thing to add to the login bonuses!

 

I would also say that wearing their sigils should increase the chance of them spawning in a mission.

Agreed on all three points.

I dont think they drop pigments or they do?

You buy the beacon, and equip it into your gear slot (like a codex scanner or energy restore or whatever). Then you go into a mission and use the beacon. The chosen assassin will then spawn. That's about it.
