Nightmare Missions are versions of standard missions with enhanced difficulty and modifiers. Players can complete them to earn special Nightmare Mods, which are dual stat mods that can be quite powerful in the correct builds. Nightmare Missions will rotate between nodes, and will only become available on planets where every node has been completed.
How to play Nightmare Mode missions
When all nodes on a planet have been unlocked, a randomly selected node will offer a Nightmare Mission. The symbol for the Nightmare Mission will appear as a white swirl on a red background, as shown in the image above. If you hover over the node, you will get a description of the missions type, Nightmare modifiers, and level of the mission.
Clicking on the node will give you the option to play either the Nightmare Mission, the standard mission, or any other variant mission that is active on the node, such as Invasions.
Enemies in Nightmare missions will have increased health, damage output, and levels. You will not be able to use Ciphers to hack, although Parazon hacking mods can still work.
