Levels

[Once_Upon_A_Time]

On some mission it says that the level of the mission is 30-35 (basically 30+), and I'm confused because isn't the level cap 30? Can anyone explain to me how this works?

Enemies don't have a level cap like players do.

Enemy levels function differently from our own. So you cant really compare them.

so the "level" thing is the enemy level?

Yep. Enemy level is how dangerous the enemy is.

Player gear level is just an indicator of hoe much mod capacity you have. As your actual stats depend on your mods, its not a good indicator of your 'level'.

Enemies' health/armor/shields/damage scale based on their level all the way to 9999, relative to the base level for the specific enemy.

Warframe/weapon level purely determines mod capacity, without mods it does nothing.

Mastery level (rank) gives access to weapons/loadout slots/syndicate rep cap/base mod capacity/void trace cap/bunch of other stuff.
