Directive: Dissipate Distortions

Location: Oizys (X:8.5, Y:7.1)
Duration: 10 min

Patch: 7.41

“

A large-scale fluctuation has manifested spherical distortions in the vicinity of the Long-lost Carrot. Left unchecked, the effectsion on the revion could be disastrous. Pilot the repurposed warmachina provided by our Garlean associate, and dissipate these anomalies directly.

— In-game description

Directive: Dissipate Distortions is a Mech Op spawned in Oizys.

Steps

Mech Pilots

Use the Plasmic Disruptor and Nova Grenade to destroy gravity spheres.
Use the Nova Grenade to destroy large gravity spheres.
Use the Plasmic Disruptor and Nova Grenade to dissipate the massive gravity sphere.
Contribution per gravity sphere: 10
Contribution per large gravity sphere: 200
Contribution per massive gravity sphere dissipation (with Plasmic Disrupter): 10
Contribution per massive gravity sphere dissipation (with Nova Grenade): 50

Note: Unlike other mech ops, normal and large gravity spheres are instanced per pilot; thus gathering these materials do not affect other pilots.

Action	Cast Time	Recast Time	Range	Radius	Tooltip	Notes
Ionic Turboblaster	Instant	3s	0y	20y	Dissipates gravity spheres in a cone before you. Has no effect on larger spheres, but will reduce the integrity of massive targets by a small amount.
Nova Grenade	1.5s	15s	0	8y	Dissipates both large and small gravity spheres within a set radius around the mech. Will also reduce the integrity of massive targets.

Ground Supporters

Use the Grav Rammer to dissipate the subterranean gravity spheres.
Use the Grav Rammer to dissipate the massive gravity sphere.
Contribution per object: 10
Contribution per massive gravity sphere dissipation: 10
Items required for Gold Star: 26

Grav Rammer	Instant	3s	0y	3y	Dissipates subterranean gravity spheres. Will reduce the integrity of massive targets by a small amount.

Timeline

While the Mech Op is less than 70% complete, subterranean gravity spheres will spawn for ground support personnel, while normal and large gravity spheres will spawn for pilots.
When the Mech Op reaches 70% completion, the aforementioned gravity spheres will disappear and a single massive gravity sphere will spawn in the center of the operation area.
- Using the special Mech Op actions will reduce the massive gravity sphere's integrity. When its integrity reaches zero, it will dissipate and the Mech Op will finish.
- The massive gravity sphere will spawn telegraphed ground AOEs where players are standing. Players who are standing when this AOE resolves will be afflicted with Down for the Count for 5 seconds and Slow for 15 seconds.
