Supernumerary Blitz, also known as Vex Strike Force, is a Public Event added with Lightfall. It is exclusive to Neomuna.

Locations

Neomuna

Occurrence

The Vex Strike Force event can only take place in the current Vex Incursion Zone sector. The Vex Incursion Zone rotates weekly between Ahimsa Park, Límíng Harbor, and Zephyr Concourse, in that order. If Terminal Overload is currently active in the Vex Incursion Zone, then it will not be possible for Vex Strike Force to occur until Terminal Overload rotates out of that sector on the following day.

Vex Strike Force events are rare and occur somewhat randomly, usually once every hour or two. Like other public events, it will be marked on the Neomuna map a few minutes before it happens. Before the event starts, a standard public event banner will appear, restoring players' ammo and ability energy.

In order to find these events, players can either wait in the Vex Incursion Zone itself, or check the Neomuna map occasionally while doing activities in the patrol zone. Another method is to use a bot that will notify when an event is taking place, such as the Vex Network Discord server.

Overview

The event will spawn six Minotaurs Supernumeros, giant Vex Minotaur minibosses that are protected by immunity shields. They will be spread out across the area, in groups of one, two, and three. Other Vex enemies, including Goblins, Hobgoblins, Cyclopes, and Wyverns, will also spawn continuously throughout the event. There is a time limit of about 11 minutes. If time runs out, the event will be failed.

There will be normal-sized Minotaurs, glowing white, that will drop Vex Craniums on death. The Cranium lasers can damage the giant Minotaurs' shields, allowing them to be made vulnerable. Once their shields are down, keep damaging them or their shields will return. Killing all six Minotaurs Supernumeros will complete the event successfully.

It is a good idea to stick close to other players, taking down the Minotaurs one by one. Vex Craniums do decent damage to the bosses, and can also be useful for clearing out stronger enemies, such as the Cyclopes and Wyverns, or killing the smaller Minotaurs to spawn more Craniums. Make sure that the giant Minotaurs are constantly taking damage when their shields are down. Aside from using Heavy icon.png Heavy ammo to deal damage, shooting them with Primary icon.png Primary weapons every few seconds can ensure that their shields do not regenerate.

Rewards

Completing a Vex Strike Force event successfully by killing all six Minotaurs Supernumeros will spawn a reward chest nearby. Players will also earn 500 Neomuna Rank with Nimbus. Terminal Overload Key icon.jpg Terminal Overload Keys can also drop from this event.

Completing the event successfully will drop a guaranteed Exotic armor item for the player's class. Similar to Legend and Master Lost Sectors, it seems to prioritize items that have not yet been acquired in Collections. Items that are normally exclusive to Legend and Master Lost Sectors can drop from this event, even if the player has not acquired them yet. However, players must own an item's associated expansion for it to be able to drop.

If the event is failed by running out of time, players will only earn 250 Neomuna Rank and Glimmer1.png Glimmer.
