While players only fight it on Venus, the Jackal is perhaps the most ubiquitous boss in the game.The Jackal is the first Corpus boss (excluding Orb-Mothers in Orb Vallis), and the first non- quest boss that players will encounter.The model itself has not changed (though has been slightly upscaled) but received several new skeletal animations. The Jackal's outer texture was changed from yellow to dark blue with white stripes. The Jackal boss fight was completely reworked in Update 28.0 ().Phase 2: Repeat above three more times until it is defeated.Phase 1: Destroy one leg, survive Grid Wall and Massive Shockwave, then stab with Parazon.The process simply needs to be repeated three more times on the Jackal's remaining legs. Approaching the Jackal in this downed state will prompt a Mercy stab with the Parazon, interrupting its auto-repair and preventing the damaged leg from being restored.Īfter being stabbed once, a cinematic shows the Jackal retreating to an adjacent, identical room, followed by the Tenno's Parazon lasso. Afterward, it will attempt to auto-repair its damaged leg. Destroying one of the legs will force it to engage its Grid Wall and Massive Shockwave. The Jackal's main body is protected by invulnerable shielding, but its four legs are vulnerable. Shortly after, the real Jackal drops in from the ceiling, crushing the MOA under its massive frame. Electric Field: An environmental hazard created by the four pillars in the room of Phase 2 when destroyed by the Jackal's attacks, dealing high Electricity damage.Īfter activating the terminal to "Deploy Jackal", the platform in the middle will rise to reveal a rather small MOA, much to the Lotus's surprise who expected it to be bigger. Massive Shockwave: Following the Grid Wall, the Jackal drops down onto the ground, creating a large shockwave, but is left vulnerable to the Parazon.The wall can be bullet jumped over, and the Tenno can wall jump and wall latch on the walls at the edge of the room to stay above it. In subsequent phases, the grid wall will pause to rotate in the opposite direction. They start off blue, but begin to do damage after turning red. Grid Wall: After one of its legs is shot, the Jackal floats into the air and deploys a large grid wall in an X shape, which sweeps around the room.Plasma Grenade Cluster: Deposits a volley of plasma grenades that shortly explode after sticking to the ground.Rippling Shockwave: Stomps the ground with its massive legs, producing a shockwave that knocks Tenno off their feet and disables Warframe Abilities.Turret: Two cheek-mounted turrets fire volleys of machine gunfire.The Jackal can stomp around with its massive legs and uses various gunfire and grenade weaponry. It has four three-jointed mechanical legs connecting in a hinge-jointed manner with three-fingered mechanical fingers on its end, much of it composed of machinery ball-socket-jointed to the chassis. It mounts a pair of heavy turrets hidden inside its ear shutters along with a pair of presumably ammunition boxes. Its head is composed of an ocular piece attached to its chassis in a ball-socket joint manner, of which it has two yellow mechanical-eyes with two short antennae strewn forward abductively along with a long downward "jaw" attached, much like an osprey's ocular piece. The Jackal is a blue and white, quadruped mechanical proxy of the Corpus, modeled similarly to the real Jackal anatomy-wise. A Corrupted variant appears in The Circuit Assassination as a boss with some alteration to its mechanics. After defeating it and finishing the mission, the player will receive Rhino component blueprints, as well as a chance to get a Stahlta or Stropha blueprint.Ī Terra variant may spawn in Orb Vallis during high alert state, which is considered a common enemy and will neither drop blueprints nor anger the Stalker. Dissected models of the Jackal can be found in some Grineer tilesets, either showing that the Grineer have an interest in utilizing Corpus tech, or that they have simply purchased merchandise.The Jackal is fought on the mission Fossa, Venus. Although a more bulky and old model compared to more recent Corpus robotics, the Jackal possesses invulnerable shields, a giant shockwave ability to knock players down, and one of the most powerful Corpus weapons, the Plasma Grenade Cluster. Jackal is the Corpus boss of the Venus system.
