The Infested Mesa is the  Mesa Warframe experimented on by Alad V, controlled by his mutalist Infestation. She appears as a miniboss only on the final mission in the quest Patient Zero, once the ship reactor is destroyed. She is the second Warframe-based weapon created by Alad V, the first being Zanuka.

Tactics

• She always has Peacemaker active, and will continuously shoot at the closest target with her Regulator Pistols. Occasionally, she will pause to reload or recast her  Shatter Shield.
• She also wields a  Plasma Sword with  Electricity damage.
• Her AI is identical to Tenno Specters, and will often not take cover or attempt to maneuver around enemy cover to get a clear shot.
•  Rhino's Stomp will effectively put her in stasis, similar to its effect on the Grustrag Three.
•  Excalibur's Radial Blind will stun her and expose her for finishers.
•  Inaros'  Desiccation will also stun her and expose her for a finisher for an easy kill.

Notes

• She possesses very high shields and health, and has her Shatter Shield active at all times, deflecting bullets and potentially harming allies.
• Moving into melee range will make her only use melee, often blocking or attempting to use charge attacks.
  • While blocking, damage can be reflected back, which can prove deadly when equipped with powerful weapons.
  • She is capable of using finisher attacks on knocked-down or crouching Tenno, which is often fatal.

Trivia

• If the objective is changed, she no longer needs to be faced.
• The collar around Infested Mesa's neck is similar to the one Alad V wears when controlling Zanuka in his regular boss fight, indicating he may be controlling her in the same manner.
