Abyssal filaments: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 18:05, 30 January 2022

A filament is a kind of "key" that unlocks entry into Abyssal Deadspace. Filaments can be found in some Data Sites and also inside of some abyssal deadspace pockets. Within an abyssal deadspace pocket, there are five possible weather effects that affect both the player and NPCs. There are also seven possible difficulty levels, with increasing penalties applied in each tier. The type of weather effect is identified on the info of the filament, as is the tier/difficulty level of the filament. The level of the filament can also be identified by the number of glowing stripes on the icon. The bonus modifier of the weather is always 50% but the strength of the penalty varies by the level of the instance.

The seven levels of the abyss which dictate the strength of the penalty are outlined in this table below:

Level	Name	Penalty Strength
0	Tranquil	-30% or -50%, random per site
1	Calm
2	Agitated
3	Fierce
4	Raging	-50% or -70%, random per site
5	Chaotic
6	Cataclysmic

The bonus and penalty effects found in each of the five weathers are as follows:

Weather	Penalty	Bonus
Electrical	-30/50/70% EM Resist	-50% Capacitor Recharge Time
Dark	-30/50/70% Turret Optimal and Falloff Range	+50% Maximum Velocity
Exotic	-30/50/70% Kinetic Resist	+50% Scan Resolution
Firestorm	-30/50/70% Thermal Resist	+50% Armor HP
Gamma	-30/50/70% Explosive Resist	+50% Shield HP

For further information on the details of the site, see the Abyssal Deadspace entry.

-For example, a Raging Exotic Filament means that it is a Class 4 site with Exotic Particle Storm effect that provides the 50% bonus to scan resolution and -50% penalty to kinetic resists. A Fierce Dark Filament is a Class 3 site with Dark Matter Field effect that provides 50% bonus to maximum velocity and -30% penalty to turret optimal and falloff range.
