Changes to Grineer Manics

[Cheeto_Beacon15]

Did they change the spawn rate or the time manics spawn? I remember them spawning right after 14 mins are up. Do they spawn more then 14 mins or when life the support is low cause I remember when I did 2 survival runs on Saturn, Cassini and they spawned around 16 mins with low life support.

Go kill Tyl'Regor, he spawns around 4 Manics during his encounter.

iirc Drekar maniacs don't give ash parts. LoR is the best place to get ash parts, OR Phobos exterminate is also a good grind for em.

Well it was dropping last time i went there. Dont know if they changed it.

Grineer Manics should be made as common as Bursas IMO.

If they were easier to lock down and kill then yes but I'd rather not deal with several manics all trying to sneak up on my witn enemy reinforcements incoming.

They're already easy to deal with.

At least they give you a good laugh when they appear. 

TBH, Ash should've been moved into the lab research, manic farming is really inconsistent.

I thought the same but turns out they also do. Just low drop chance xD

usually I get them at the start of a Survival (they can appear before you trigger the alarms), and they can sometimes appear randomly: I do the occasional Syndicate Survival and the Manics appear at different times.

the trick is to turn your back on them, then 180 and shoot them in the face. they will mostly attack when you aren't facing them, so turn the camera so that you can see the front of your Warframe, then when they appear behind you, quickly turn and shoot. I've killed a ton of Manics this way, it's very effective.

No,  they don't (check their codex). But after triggering the alarm Uranus tileset spawns regular manics by some reason.
