Nightmare mode:

Earlier you probably noticed me mentioning nightmare mods and telling you not to do them untill you are ready. Nightmare missions will appear once you complete all the missions on a planet. The nodes that have nightmare mode will be marked as a skull.

As you can see Vesper and Ishtar have nightmare modes at the moment.

First thing to bare in mind is that the rewards for doing nightmare mode are random so you may not get the mod you want. Secondly each time you enter a nightmare mode there will be up to three different conditions imposed on you. Here's a list of them:

1. All enemies will do around triple their normal damage on you
2. Reloading time is increased
3. Storage lockers no longer drop ammo
4. Low gravity so that its harder to jump and loots fly about
5. Enemies are at a higher level than normal
6. Those explosive barrels now cause 1000 damage.
7. Mission might have a timer. Every kill will add 5 seconds
8. Energy drained constantly. It drains pretty fast so don't wait too long to use your skills.
9. Hp might drain constantly. Killing enemies will recover hp though.
10. Saving the best till last.... NO SHIELDS!

Also lets not forget that all enemies in nightmare mode will be the upgraded versions of the normal ones hence being harder to kill.
If you get the last condition I would recommend leaving and restarting the mission. Unless you're rhino with ironskin it really is too difficult and would take forever as people would have to take cover. However if you are looking for a challenge then by all means go ahead but it will be difficult to find people who will not quit this mode. Without shields and enemies having damage buffs you would probably die in three four shots. Actually even Rhino can't save you for long if there's no energy :p. Before doing a nightmare mode have at least one good weapon fully modded up and make sure your frame is also fully modded. Consider adding vitality and shield mods.
