Nightwave is the free reward track. Daily, weekly and elite weekly acts pay 1,000, 4,500 and 7,000 standing, every 10,000 standing is a rank, and the current series, Nightwave Mix: Amir’s Shockwave, has 30 ranks ending in the Kaneshell Atomicycle Regalia. This week’s acts are below, live.
Reviewed October 17, 2026. The live block comes straight from the game's world state every few minutes; the tables below have two sources each and are re-checked when the series or the reward pool changes.

How Nightwave works
- Unlock it by finishing The Teacher. Nightwave then sits in the top bar of Navigation.
- Acts: dailies pay 1,000 standing, weeklies 4,500, elite weeklies 7,000. New weekly acts arrive each week; the countdowns above show what is left on each.
- Every 10,000 standing is a rank, and the 30 ranks above pay out in order. Past rank 30, each prestige rank pays 15 Cred.
- Cred buys from the Cred Offerings in the Nightwave menu: Nitain Extract, Orokin Catalysts and Reactors, mods and cosmetics. The offerings rotate weekly.
- Cred only spends during its own series, so use it before the series ends.
Tips that save runs
- Do the two elite weeklies first; together they are more than a rank.
- Nitain Extract, Orokin Catalysts and Orokin Reactors are the Cred buys that save you platinum; cosmetics can wait.
- Standing past rank 30 is not wasted. Prestige ranks keep paying Cred.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Hoarding Cred into the end of a series; it cannot be spent once the series is over.
- Skipping the weeklies because the dailies look easier. A weekly pays 4.5 dailies.
