How to unlock the Without a Hitch achievement in Warframe - Definitive Guide

UPDATE 12/20/2014 - Apparently Update 15.6, which should be the next patch, will introduce a level 23 - 25 Hijack mission on Europa. This should be MUCH easier to win than the ones on Ceres.

UPDATE 2/15/2015 - The newest update has brought the lower level mission on Europa and this is a much easier mission than the Ceres ones as expected.

I don't have this achievement because I keep getting stuck with randoms who are terrible at life. However I have managed to almost solo this mission a few times so I figured I'd share some tips for it.

Firstly Hijack only appears on Ceres as of this writing (update 14.7). That's way at the end of the game so you're going to either have to work hard for this one or get someone to bring you there.

Secondly the way this mode operates is somewhat odd:
- First you must hunt down a Fomorian Power Core through the stage. Once you do so you'll activate a console to get it moving along the tracks.
- To get it moving people must stay close by to allow it to drain your shields as an energy source. Thus prepare to have low or no shields. However don't bring a low shield warframe or you risk it running dry completely at a really bad time.
- While you're escorting the core it will generally outpace the Grineer. Unfortunately it stops at checkpoints along the way which allow them to catch up and spawn on the other side of said checkpoint door. If it gets damaged too much it will be destroyed so you must kill them quickly. Your shield will recharge while you wait.

Even if someone brought you here as a low level Warframe you can still help out. The following are just some tips for newbie types:
- Mag is a great help here since Shield Polarize keeps your health up while charging the core continuously. Spec for high range and efficiency so you catch more people and it's cheaper.
- If you didn't choose Mag, Excalibur and Volt can be tweaked to have fairly high shields especially with a decent level Redirection.
- Another great suggestion is a Loki specced for very high power efficiency and then run around spamming Radial Disarm. Enemies can't shoot the thing if they don't have their weapons so you can leap around, disarming people as you go and not necessarily worry about having to kill them all.

For higher level characters you have a few more options:
- Raksa Kubrow can recharge your shields with their Protect ability. They'll also distract the Grineer troops but run the risk of getting downed in the middle of a group, forcing you to either ditch the core or the kubrow.
- On the same token a Sentinel mod called Guardian will allow your shields to be recharged when they empty. Note that the the boost is only really useful if you can get it to level 2 or more.
- Shield Restore or Team Shield Restore consumables are an obvious boon.

Hope this helps and if you have any questions or comments just post and I'll do what I can to help clear it up.

Thanks for the tip ShadowKnight, I'll add that to the solution when I next update it (have a few changes I want to make once I test them). I've never used Limbo or Mesa so I don't know how useful they would be so I appreciate the input.

You unlock planets by playing the game, it's not rocket science to just play the game and unlock planets. Or if you're that desperate ask someone to take you there.

At some point, Ludi, the Ceres Hijack mission, was reset to level 15-17 so the Grineer are not tough. I managed to get this solo on my first attempt with a rank 30 Rhino and +200% Redirection mod. To start I ran around to have my Taxon max out shields using Molecular Conversion so they were at 1500 when I began the run. Even so I was stuck in place at the very end because I ran out of shields and the tram sucked it all up almost immediately upon regeneration just to move forward a few feet but I got to the destination using Squad Shield Restores.
Later I did the Sorath hijack on Europa at MR 7 with a random MR 4 player and it was smooth sailing the whole way so I recommend partnering up on this mission type.

Just an additional tip if you have the Limbo frame you can banish yourself to the rift. This allows your shield to feed the core without you taking damage from enemies. This leaves your friends free to deal with the mobs. Just be sure to give your shield a chance to recharge a bit when it gets low so that the core doesn't go backwards. Just remember you can't damage enemies while you are banished so drop out of it as the situation dictates.

This can be done on Sorath, Europa. A Shield Osprey Specter is most helpful, you can get them from Cephalon Suda for 2,500 reputation points. The mission is pretty straightforward, just deploy the shield specter, stay close to the rover and shoot the attacking enemies. I've completed this solo with my level 30 MAG. Here's the video:

This works really well. Managed to do get the achievement first try using this method. I had to use 3 of the shield osprey specters because the first 2 only followed me very briefly. I was using Saryn though, so I wasn't able to pull all the enemies in, which may be why the specters were not following me due to all the fire they were taking.

For anyone that does not know about syndicates - you get to them by 'start --> profile --> syndicates. After joining one you equip the sigil by going to 'appearance --> regalia --> sigil' in your tenno loadout.

As of October 2016, with the Silver Grove update, this can be done on the Mars hijack mission - Tharsis. I easily soloed the mission using a max rank Excalibur with a rank 10 Dethcube companion. Enemy levels are 8-10 and once you reach the rover there are really only two groups of enemies to deal with. The first group of enemies will be the most numerous and give you the most problems. You do not have to clear them all. Kill the enemies that you can while trying to keep some shields. Concentrate on staying alive and moving the rover forward as often as possible. Be aware that the rover can never leave your control. The achievement is voided if the rover turns red, rolls backwards, or Lotus tells you that you have lost control. When your shield drains run away from the rover a short distance to recharge. You will not have enough time to completely recharge your shields. Once shield reaches 200 jump back to the rover to continue forward. Half way to the extraction will be a second group of enemies. Most of them are shielded and I basically ignored them as I focused on advancing the rover. If the rover takes to much damage you will fail the mission. However in my play through I never noticed the rover taking any significant damage. After that it is just a slow advance to the extraction. Lotus will continue to give you warnings which you can ignore so long as she does not tell you that you have lost control. Achievement toast should pop as soon as the mission ends.

Just rolled this one solo with level 24 Excalibur (my only frame so far) and a level 29 Vectis. A Fast Deflection mod card with 90% shield recharge really knocked it out. The Vectis can cut through entire crowds.

You can do this on any Hijack mission just make sure you have high enough shield, or play as Trinity/Trinity Prime jump up on it and use Blessing then you get your shield back, if you get low, use Energy Vampire and kill the target.

The last option is to send me an message on Xbox Live and i run the mission with you

This is super easy if you have decent Inaros. The mission decays health instead of shields (that Inaros does not have).

If anyone needs help with this achievement, message me on XBL and I will carry you through the mission in no time. :)

Hijack is a mission type where players must take control of a large, mobile objective and safely lead it to extraction. There are 5 of these missions with the first appearing on Ceres. While moving the objective it will slowly drain your shield. You need to move it to extraction without having the opposition move it backwards. They will move it only when you haven’t been able to move it forward in the past 5 seconds. The easiest way to do this is to use mods that increase your shield capacity with the shield recharge rate mod also. Rhino’s Iron Skin ability will allow you to take damage that doesn’t lower your current shield capacity and makes the mission easier to do.

On the Warframe wiki it is written that these missions are only available on Cerrera on the planets: Cerium and Gefion.

The point of the mission is to escort a car or something else using your shield charge. If the shield runs out, it’s better to run away and charge (the car will stand for a few more seconds), but if the car goes back, you won’t get the achievement.

initially you will not have the planet Ceres, to open it you need to kill bosses on three planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, all these planets will open gradually
