[PS4] Warframe [79] The Steel Path Update! || Stronger Foes!

[WHAT IS THE STEEL PATH?]
=The Steel Path is a difficulty modifier for the Origin System hosted by Teshin, testing the Tenno's perseverance against significantly durable enemies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[MECHANICS]
=In order to access The Steel Path, players must have completed all nodes on the connected Star Chart, including Dark Sectors, Lua and the Kuva Fortress, as well as the lone nodes of the Orokin Derelict. The only exceptions are the disconnected Assassination nodes of Mutalist Alad V and the Jordas Golem on Eris.
=Note that this also entails completing the Ropalolyst node, which requires players to have completed the Chimera Prologue and all the story quests leading up to it.
=Once the player meets these requirements, Teshin will invite the player to challenge The Steel Path; they must meet him on any Relay and ask him about "Steel Path?" to unlock the mode. Once players have The Steel Path unlocked, it will be displayed as a toggle on the right side of the Star Chart screen. The Steel Path also adds a 6th tier field Bounty.
=The Steel Path only affects normal missions, Dark Sectors, Junctions, and Mission Locators. It does not apply to Nightmare Mode, Void Fissures, Syndicates, or Invasions. The Empyrean Star Chart is also not included.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[RULES]
=Players must re-unlock Star Chart nodes on The Steel Path starting from E Prime, Earth, as if starting the Origin System from a fresh state.
=Dakata, Kuva Fortress, the individual Orokin Derelict nodes, the individual Jordas Golem and Mutalist Alad V Assassinate Eris nodes, and Bounties from Cetus and Fortuna are also immediately available from the start.
=Completing the 6th tier Bounty is required in order to mark the node as completed. Doing so will also unlock their adjacent nodes.
=Steel Path Eidolons can only be fought at nighttime during the 6th tier Cetus Bounty.
=Junctions on The Steel Path do not have any associated tasks and can be entered as soon as the adjacent node is cleared.
=All enemies have their level increased by 100, and gain an additional +150% (to a total of 250%, or 2.5x) bonus to health, armor, and shields.
=Bounties have a starting level of 100 with the aforementioned modifiers. Players must be Mastery Rank 10 to access these bounties.
=Enemies in Archwing have their level increased by 50.
=Enemies in Grineer Sealab underwater Archwing still have their levels increased by 100.
=The Eidolon Teralyst's level is increased to 110, the Eidolon Gantulyst to 120 and Eidolon Hydrolyst to 130.
=Team Bonus Consumables have a one minute cooldown.
=Enemy spawn rates during Endless missions are increased in solo matchmaking, as if playing in a full squad in normal mode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
