What happened
Digital Extremes announced Operation Plague Star on September 2, and the event is now inside its published September 9–23 live window.
Konzu in Cetus starts the bounty. The three tiers use different prerequisites and Standing awards, so players should select the tier from the live requirement list rather than an older guide.
The practical change: Start with Konzu in Cetus, confirm the tier ingredients before matchmaking, and use Nakak's live inventory for the final reward costs.
What is confirmed
- The event runs September 9 through September 23 on all platforms.
- Tier 1 has no prerequisite.
- Tier 2 requires one Eidolon Phylaxis and one Infested Catalyst.
- Tier 3 adds Steel Path eligibility and the reward list includes a built Umbra Forma as a one-time purchase.
What this means for players
Players can enter the event now and earn Operational Supply Standing across the shared all-platform window.
Higher tiers carry explicit prerequisites and different Standing awards, so the correct bounty choice matters before matchmaking.
What is still unconfirmed
The announcement does not guarantee additional extensions or a later return date.
What to do next
- 01Speak to Konzu in Cetus and open the Plague Star Bounty.
- 02Confirm the selected tier's ingredients and Steel Path requirement before matchmaking.
- 03Use Nakak's live inventory for final purchase costs and the one-time Umbra Forma limit.
