Warframe – Ver. 38.5.11

• Release date: April 17th/18th 2025
• Patch notes:

Technocyte Coda Changes & Fixes:

• Hex Bounties with missions that have a Technocyte Coda Duet Chance will now be marked with a Technocyte Coda icon in the Bounties screen. 
  • Players can also see their current Duet Chance by hovering over eligible Bounties.
• Acolytes (and similar foes, like Stalker) will now wait for a Technocyte Coda Duet to be defeated before spawning in.
  • This addresses an issue where Acolytes and Technocyte Coda health bars would messily combine if they were in-mission at the same time.
• Fixes towards edge-cases of players being unable to stab their Technocyte Coda during a showdown.
• Fixed Technocyte Coda Showdown missions being included in the mission pool for the “Join Any Crew” button in the Railjack Starchart.
• Fixed loss of function if you’re in Necramech when a squadmate fully dies during the fight with their Technocyte Coda in a Showdown.
• Fixed the Technocyte Coda Showdown using the Infested icon in the Navigation Screen (instead of the custom Technocyte Coda icon). 

Changes:

• After a back-and-forth review, we have re-enabled the ability to dodge during Qorvex’s Fused Crucible Augment, but with a 40% reduced dodge speed as per its “mobility reduced” description. 
  • This also fixes Parkour velocity Mods not affecting the movement. Rock and Dodge, baby. 
• Clients joining in-progress Höllvania missions will now spawn near the Host instead of entering via the tunnel and running to catch up with their squad.
• The Temple defense target in Stage Defense now has a 90% damage reduction against Blitz Eximus attacks.
  • While Blitz Eximus would not target Temple, they could get caught in the crossfire and take enormous amounts of damage, especially in Temporal Archimedea missions.
• Mods incorrectly placed in Arcane and Exilus slots are now removed.
  • These Mods could be put into the incorrect slots when duplicating a Config on Exalted Weapons. We fixed this in 38.5.10 but the Mods were not removed in that patch.
• Improved the accuracy of Ballistas, especially at long range.
  • Also fixed the Tusk Ballista missing their laser sight.

Top Fixes:

• Fixed Legacytes having double their intended health in Temporal Archimedea missions.
  • Also fixed the second Legacyte spawned from the Mitosis Mission Deviation not having Overguard. Since their health is now halved, they should be significantly easier to take down regardless.
• Fixed owned Prime Weapons not being accounted for in Deep and Temporal Achimedea Loadout Parameter generation.
• Fixed Impact status effects not affecting the Mercy threshold on Scaldra Dedicants.
• Fixed the following Augments and Abilities not applying their elemental bonuses to status effect damage:
  • Lavos’ Valence Formation
  • Temple’s Ripper’s Wail
  • Gauss’ Thermal Transfer
  • Known Issue: Gyre’s Conductive Sphere Augment is also affected by this issue, but will require a code fix to address.
• Fixed Scaldra Harbingers detaching from their turrets if affected by an Ability that forces Ragdoll (ex: Yareli’s Riptide), causing the enemy to become unkillable.
  • This could result in Stage Defense missions being progression stopped, for example.
• Fixed Malice being able to teleport players out of the map in Stage Defense, causing them to become stuck.
• Fixed the Wolf Sledge’s explosion being inconsistent for Clients.
• Fixed large hitches (including possible crashes) caused by the Purgator 1 when used with the Cordon Precept.
• Fixed Ember’s Immolated Radiance Augment Mod not being acquirable or upgradable.
• Fixed staggers and knockdowns causing temporary function loss for Yareli while on Merulina.
• Fixed the “Wrecking Crew” objective not counting decorations destroyed by Clients in Cavia bounties.
• Fixed Host Migrations causing the “Captured Legacytes” objective to reset in Hex Bounties, possibly causing players to be unable to extract.
• Fixed cases of players becoming Besties instead of Loved with their Protoframe after agreeing to date.

Fixes:

• Fixed the Hold Your Breath Mission Deviation not working when there are no active Hell-Scrubbers in Temporal Archimedea.
• Fixed Auto-Install not equipping Mods in slots with Omni polarities.
• Fixed loss of function when attempting to duplicate a Mod config if players own many different versions of that weapon.
• Fixed the fur on Minerva’s Gemini Skin having a permanent blue tint.
• Fixed cloth stretching on Chroma, Wukong, and Rhino.
• Fixed the Coda Cyst causing Equinox Prime’s head to become detached for Clients.
• Fixed Antivirus Mods not appearing in the Reward Pop-Up at the end of Antivirus Bounty missions.
• Fixed cases of being able to leave the map with the Atomicycle.
• Fixed missing Hex Bounty objectives and Hex members if the Host joins the mission from their Orbiter.
• Fixed players getting stuck out of bounds if spamming the interact button when Archwing Slingshotting to the Technocyte Coda Stadium.
• Fixed Octavia’s Metronome cancelling out the Stadium music in the Technocyte Coda showdown.
• Fixed Archwing Slingshot not functioning correctly for Hosts if a squadmate has used up all of their revives in a Railjack mission.
• Fixed an issue when using Auto-Install on “indirect” Exalted weapons (ex: Venari’s Claws).
  • This also fixes a soft-lock when Auto-Installing Mods on the Necramech.
• Fixed missing HUD elements during a section of The Hex Finale quest.
• Fixed Drifter HUD elements remaining on the screen at the end of The Hex Finale.
• Fixed a certain cinematic after completing a replay of The Hex Quest if players have already completed The Hex Finale.
• This cinematic indicates a player’s progress in unlocking The Hex Finale, so it’s not necessary to watch it after replays if they have already completed it.
• Fixed not all enemies being alert in the Eleanor and Lettie segment of The Hex Quest.
• Fixed the Dual Coda Torxica and Coda Bassocyst’s reticles not scaling with HUD scale.
• Fixed the Antivirus Mods category being the default view in the Parazon upgrade screen.
  • It will continue to be the default view when upgrading your Parazon from the Technocyte Coda screen, but viewing your Parazon from the Arsenal should now properly default to the “All Mods” view.
• Fixed text in the insufficient Riven Slots pop-up exceeding the textbox for Cyrillic languages.
• Fixed cases of being trapped in a black void with Fibonacci when ranking up in the Cavia Syndicate.
• Fixed the “Feed” button lingering on the screen when feeding resources to the Helminth and swapping to the Archon Shard screen before cancelling the feed.
• Fixed swapping between keyboard and controller while mid-KIM conversation causing the Profile icon to break.
• Fixed an edge case of The Hex chat in KIM repeating introductory conversations for the new Protoframes.
• Fixes towards the Codex preview clipping through the table at the Codex Station in the Orbiter.
• Fixed a rare case of Domestik Drones causing menus to automatically close in the Backroom.
• Fixed a script error caused by Ember’s Fire Blast if every squad member was playing Ember.
• Fixed a script error when hitting an enemy with a spear gun’s alt-fire.

• Additional notes: none.

Warframe – Ver. 38.5.10

• Release date: April 9th/10th 2025
• Patch notes:

Technocyte Coda Changes & Fixes:

• Technocyte Coda Duets spawned behind the tunnel doors in Höllvania missions will now be teleported out of the inaccessible tile. 
  • Coda Duets were spawning in the tunnel if the respective player became AFK as soon as they exited the tunnel. This change should now place the Duet spawn in a playable space near the player instead of picking the tunnel. Please let us know if this issue persists! 
• The “Malware Found!” pop-up in the NavNow screen in the Pom-2 will now say “Malware Isolated!” once your Technocyte Coda is at 100% Virality.
• Fixed Technocyte Codas being permanently ragdolled by the Crescent Charge precept, resulting in players being unable to stab their Codas during the Showdown.

• Fixed both a Host and Client with high latency sometimes causing the Technocyte Coda Showdown to not progress.
• Fixed the cutscene not playing properly for clients when entering the Stadium in the Technocyte Coda Showdown.

Changes:

• The “Mission Tutorial Transmissions” toggle now applies to Excavation, Survival, Hijack, Sabotage, Defense, and Rescue missions.
• Mods equipped in an Omni Polarity slot will now display an Omni Polarity indicator in the Upgrade Menu to help easily identify where Omni Forma have been installed.
• Made general improvements to the Auto Install system:
  • Having duplicate copies of one Mod will no longer skew its weighting compared to similar Mods.
  • Mods with specific weapon buffs will no longer be prioritized on weapons that don’t benefit from that buff.
  • Weapons that don’t benefit from Attack Speed will now heavily deprioritize attack speed mods.
  • Fixed Mods with a negative priority becoming accidentally super prioritized if they’re deprioritized further.
  • Fixed Auto Install not putting Mods in slots with an Omni Polarity.
• Added Protea, Gyre, and Nidus Community Customizations from Prime Time 431.

Other Top Fixes:

• Fixed the seeking projectiles from Dante’s Noctua not dealing damage to enemies outside of the Simulacrum.
• Fixed the Quick Select tool in the Mod Menu not respecting the “Keep Extra Unranked Copies” value if the number is typed (instead of using the up/down arrows to change the value).
  • Also fixed using the Quick Select tool twice in a row without exiting the Mod screen resulting in the second “Keep Extra Unranked Copies” value not being respected.
• Fixed duplicating a Mod config on an Exalted Weapon putting Mods into the Arcane or Exilus slot (where they clearly don’t belong!).
• Fixed the EFV-8 Mars being able to equip the Semi-Pistol Cannonade mod.
  • This weapon has a charged alt-fire, meaning it doesn’t fit the Semi-Auto Trigger requirement.
• Fixed being unable to interact with the Lizzie Shawzin Decoration once placed.
  • If you’re wondering “What Lizzie Shawzin?” we suggest completing the Flare x Lizzie KIM conversation ;) 
• Fixed loss of function when evolving an Incarnon Weapon at Cavalero after viewing the same weapon in your Arsenal first while in the Chyrsalith.
• Fixed cases of sending Kaya a birthday message before completing her story arc resulting in her Chemistry Rank changing to “Associates”, causing players to think they may have earned a different ending.

Performance Fixes:

• Fixed a hitch when swapping to Dante and modding other equipment in Simulacrum.
• Fixed performance issues caused by the Riot-848 pistol.
• Fixed performance issues caused by the cutscene at the end of the H-09 Efervon Tank fight.

Fixes:

• Fixed scans of the Saturn Six Fugitives not counting towards their Codex entry.
• Fixed Amir’s headset floating in cutscenes at the end of The Hex Finale.
• Fixed missing transmissions during the Defense mission in the Once Awake quest.
• Fixed a texture issue on the EFV-8 Mars.
• Fixed Harrow’s Condemn missing its chain textures.
• Fixed cloth issues on Khora Prime’s and Nova Aozakura’s skirts.
• Fixed cases of some Mods not being copied over when duplicating a Mod Config on Exalted weapons.
• Fixed ranking up a Mod in the Upgrade Screen causing your search bar to clear (oftentimes resulting in you losing visibility on the Mod you were ranking up).
• Fixed the Strun Wraith missing its recoil stat for its Incarnon Form (when it has an Incarnon Adapter installed).
  • Also fixed it using the default Strun Wraith icon if it had an Incarnon Adapter installed.
• Fixed various Syndicate, Coda, and Gemini Emotes causing Drifter faces to be distorted when used in Duviri.
• Fixed a small tint issue on the neck of the Amir Gemini Skin.
• Fixed debug VFX appearing on tentacles spawned in Legacyte Harvest missions.
• Fixed the Coda Bassocyst and Dual Coda Torxica reticles persisting in Captura.

• Additional notes: none.

Warframe – Ver. 38.5.9

• Release date: April 7th/8th 2025
• Patch notes:

Changes:

• Reduced Primed Steady Hands’ capacity cost from 16 to 12 at max rank, making it in line with other Primed Reload Speed Mods.
• Players no longer need to complete Solstice Square on the Normal Path before they can unlock completion progress for the Steel Path in Höllvania. 
  • As a refresher, players must play all Normal Path nodes in Höllvania before completion of Steel Path nodes can be registered. Since Solstice Square requires players to reach Rank 4 in the Hex Syndicate, this meant they were haunted by “!” on their Steel Path nodes until they unlocked that mission. Now, completing Solstice Square on the Normal Path is no longer required to earn Steel Path progress. 
  • Solstice Square completion on the Steel Path is still required to earn 1999 Steel Path Trophies.
  • This change was patched live on Friday last week, but we’re calling out here for visibility!
• Polished cloth physics on the TennoCon Riftguard Syandana.

Fixes:

• Fixed Techrot pieces of Minvera’s Gemini Skin being untintable.
• Fixed a squad member running out of revives in a Technocyte Coda Showdown resulting in the rest of the team being progression stopped if the dead player has not yet taken down their Coda. 
  • Now their Coda will be properly skipped if they are in this state.
  • Also fixed players in this state being unable to return to the Railjack, resulting in a progression stop.
  • Also fixed the incorrect objective being shown for squadmates if a player has run out of revives prior to the Stadium segment of this fight. 
• Fixed the ability to bypass the dodge/roll restriction during Qorvex’s Fused Crucible by swapping weapons.
  • The noted mobility restrictions are there as a balance measure to what is a very powerful Augment.  
• More fixes towards cases of Technocyte Coda Duets spawning in the loading tunnel in Höllvania missions.
• Fixed Saturn Six Fugitives having unintentionally valuable drop tables. 
  • We’ve confiscated the extra goodies from their drop tables, and now they should simply drop ammo, health, and energy pickups.
  • The Wolf’s droptables have been untouched!
• Fixed cases of enemies being able to spawn behind a locked door in Wolf Hunt missions.
  • Also fixed cases of enemies being stuck in a broken state in Wolf Hunt missions, possibly resulting in a progression stop.
• Fixed Packet’s Blink Slam ability being able to teleport him out of bounds in the Technocyte Coda Showdown mission, possibly resulting in a progression stop.
• Fixed specific terminals in the Höllvania tileset having offset hacking screens, meaning they were unable to be used to revive enemies in Temporal Archimedea.
• Fixed using Coda Bassocyst’s alt-fire while on a zipline leaving the player with broken zipline animations and the target enemy unaffected.
• Fixed players incorrectly having the “Associates” rank with Flare in KIM after reaching a certain milestone.
• If you were in this state prior to the hotfix, you should be able to fix your Rank by talking to Flare once more (if you haven’t already).
• Fixed Gyre Vortengeist Skin’s VFX elements not appearing in missions in the Origin System.
• Fixed various UI polish issues in Eleanor’s Coda Weapon screen, including an empty “missing requirements” UI element appearing on purchased Coda Weapons.
• Fixed an additional confirmation dialogue being applied to (non-Platinum) “bundle” purchases at various Vendors. 
  • Ex: purchasing Debt-Bonds from Ticker.
  • Now the purchase flow should require one click only.
• Fixed a duplicate list of Arcanes appearing in Arcane Collections in Loid’s Arcane Dissolution screen, resulting in the on-hover description of the Arcane Collection running off the screen.

• Additional notes: none.
• Source: Digital Extremes

Warframe – Ver. 38.5.8

• Release date: April 4th/5th 2025
• Patch notes:

• Fixed Technocyte Coda Duets consistently not spawning despite being at 100% Spawn Chance. 
• Fixed Scourge’s Alt Fire not proc’ing for Clients. 
• Fixed Minerva Gemini Skin’s legs being unlit.
  • Also polished cloth physics on Minerva’s skirts.
• Fixed Modular Companions (and K-Drives) missing their preview in Vendor screens.
• Fixed missing dialogue choice in Kaya’s KIM conversation.
• Fixed a script error caused by the Techrot Matmas.
• Fixed the TennoCon Riftguard Syandana blocking player views while on the Atomicycle. Now it should dissolve from the screen until you get off your bike!
• Fixed Nova’s Molecular Prime waves only lasting 10s instead of the modded duration.

• Additional notes: none.
• Source: Digital Extremes

Warframe – Ver. 38.5.7

• Release date: April 2nd/3rd 2025
• Patch notes:

Changes:

• Warframes now have an equal chance to roll an Invigoration in the Helminth.  
  • Previously their chance was individually weighted, but we’ve made it the same across all Warframes.
  • Since Invigorations have already been generated this week, players will see this change apply to Invigoration generations on Monday, April 7 at 0:00 UTC. 
• Removed the “feet planted” requirement for the High Ground Bounty Objective, meaning players can accomplish it mid-air. 
  • Also greatly reduced the distance required for kills to count.
• Updated Eleanor’s fast travel description to include Coda Weapons.

Technocyte Coda Changes & Fixes:

• Multiplayer Technocyte Coda Showdown missions will now reward 1 extra Live Heartcell per defeated Technocyte Coda. 
  • This means a squad of 4 players will earn 3 extra Live Heartcells if each member successfully defeats their Coda.
  • These bonus Live Heartcells are rewarded regardless if you Conquered or Vanquished your Coda.
• Improved performance issues caused by Drillbit’s Magnetic Manipulation ability.
• Fixed all equipped Antivirus Mods losing a charge when reaching 100% Virality on Technocyte Coda.
  • Now only the correct Antivirus Mod will lose its charge.
• Fixed Technocyte Coda Duets being able to spawn in the loading tunnel in Höllvania missions.
  • We tried to address this in an earlier hotfix, but this should cover additional cases of this happening. Once more with feeling!
• Fixed Sevagoth’s Shadow not being able to move after entering the Stadium in the Technocyte Coda Showdown.
• Fixed being on Merulina when triggering the cinematic upon entering the Stadium in the Technocyte Coda Showdown causing Yareli to spawn outside of the arena.
• Fixed cases of Technocyte Coda Duets dropping Kuva when stabbed with the Parazon.
• Fixed a rare case of double Host Migrations in a Technocyte Coda Showdown mission causing multiple boybands to spawn.

• Fixed Vauban’s Tesla Nervos not being affected by the “Pause AI” toggle in the Simulacrum.

Warframe – Ver. 38.5.6

• Release date: April 2nd/3rd 2025
• Patch notes:

TennoCon Riftguard Syandana Changes & Fixes:

• Based on Community feedback, a Void-Swept version of the TennoCon Riftguard Syandana has been added as its own equippable cosmetic! The TennoCon Riftguard Emote will transform it back to the base version should you choose to do so.
  • Players who already own the Digital Pack will receive the Void-Swept version upon downloading the Hotfix. Moving forward, all Digital Pack purchases will also include the item. 
• Various polish tweaks on VFX for the Riftguard Emote.

• Fixed the TennoCon Riftguard Emote SFX not stopping when the emote is cancelled.

  • The Mission Tutorial Transmissions toggle now applies to transmissions in Excavation missions.
  • The Mission Tutorial Transmissions toggle will now completely remove Teshin’s transmissions in the Undercroft when toggled off.
    • This is an experimental change that we’re applying to popular content (ie. The Circuit) to gauge player reactions. 
• Wisp’s Cataclysmic Gate Augment now scales with Range!
• The Vamp Rock Modifier for Stage Defense missions in Temporal Archimedea will now scale based on the number of players near Temple. 
  • This change should also make the mechanic more clear to players overall.
• Re-enabled the Slippery Customer Peely Pix — players can now earn and use this Peely Pix in Temporal Archimedea missions.
  • We initially removed this sticker from Peely Pax droptables in 38.5.1 as it a) did not offer sufficient indicators of why players were warped and b) could possibly warp players into objects, causing a progstop. 
  • These issues have now been addressed and Slippery Customer is ready to be in player hands once more. We’ll be keeping a close eye on reports in case further issues appear.
• Reduced SFX of Stage Defense speaker mission hazards when you’re not nearby.
• Made various polish tweaks to Velimir and Minerva’s animations.
• Updated the Teleport Rush Augment’s description to clarify that Teleport Mercy Kills fully refresh the duration.
  • Previously it said “Mercy Kills fully refresh the duration” which led to some confusion amongst Ash players.
• Changed resource requirements for Port Nacelle and Starboard Nacelle blueprints from 5 Control Modules to 500 Polymer Bundles in the Rising Tide Quest. 
  • We made adjustments to these costs with Techrot Encore’s launch to remove resources that were not easily obtained on the main path through the Star Chart. This is an additional tweak with that goal in mind.
• The Coda Pox can now equip Synth Charge.
• Removed an unintended dialog line from Arthur in Höllvania Central Mall.
• Added a marker to the Anti-Matter Orb spawned by the It Sees You Peely Pix in Temporal Archimedea.

• Fixed cases of Companions permanently dying in Technocyte Coda Showdowns.

• Fixed a rare case of double Host Migrations in a Technocyte Coda Showdown causing the new host to fall through the floor.
• Fixed a rare case of Techrot Invaders having a large delay between spawns in Technocyte Coda Showdown missions.

• Fixed Potency Mods not being searchable by the “potency” search term.
• Fixed Technocyte Coda Crew using default tints in-mission (ex: when summoned via On-Call Crew, etc.).

• Fixed a script error when a second Technocyte Coda Duet spawned soon after the first one was defeated in Höllvania missions.
• Fixed a script error that could occur in Hard Drive’s charge attack.

  • Dex Dakra Anniversary Alert
  • “Defense” Elite Weekly Nightwave Act
  • Steel Path Incursions
• Fixed Techrot Galliflex’s hitboxes not including large portions of its body. For once, your missed shots might not actually be a case of bad aim!
• Fixed Temple’s Exalted Guitar allowing equipped Primary Weapons to bypass their ammo capacity when it is Channelled.
• Fixed the Hide Equipped Mods toggle hiding all like Mods in the Trading Menu instead of just the one equipped.
  • Ex: if you had one full charge Drive-Duster Antivirus Mod equipped, and 3 extras, this toggle would hide all Drive-Duster Mods in the Trading Menu.
• Fixed the Vintage Tech Peely Pix not scaling cooldown duration per upgrade rank. The new cooldowns per rank are as follows:
  • 180s (Normal)
  • 120s (Sparkly)
  • 60s (Chromatic)
  • Known Issue: The cooldown for the first cast is only 10s, but subsequent summons use the correct duration. 
• Fixed broken waypoint pathing towards the first objective in the H-09 Efervon Tank Assassinate mission.
• Fixed broken waypoint pathing in the Munio Mirror Defense node on Deimos.
• Fixed The Great Kim Somachord mistakenly being removed from Aoi’s wares.

Performance & Optimization:

• Refactored and optimized the in-game logic of Nova’s Molecular Prime to address performance issues. This Ability should work exactly as before, with a few exceptions:
  • When Nova dies (not when she enters Bleedout) or disconnects, the enemies she Primed will no longer be Primed.
  • We have capped the number of active Molecular Prime “waves” to 5. Casting additional Molecular Primes will cause the oldest one to disappear.
• Fixed a noticeable hitch when using the Riftguard Emote with the TennoCon Riftguard Syandana equipped.

Fixes:

• Fixed being able to play Stage Defense Bounties if you were not Rank 4 in the Hex Syndicate.
• Also fixed Clients being able to extract from Stage Defense Bounties if the Bounty Objective has not been completed.
• Fixed the Breathless Peely Pix’s timer starting while players are in the loading tunnel. Now, the Gas/Toxin resistance timer will start once players have properly loaded into the Temporal Archimedea mission.
• Fixed EFV-5 Jupiter missing its pre-made build in Teshin’s Cave.
• Fixed Scaldra Flayers having an unintentionally high spawn chance in Techrot missions. 
  • There are a few Scaldra units who have a very low chance of showing up to take on the Techrot. The Flayer’s spawn chance has been fixed to match the others.
• Fixed Aoi’s hair (and her matching Operator/Drifter Haircut) having weirdly bent bangs.
• Fixed stretched textures on the cloth around Amir’s waist.
• Fixed various offsets for Temple.
• Fixed offset issues for the Brazontik Armor Set on the Gyre Vortengeist Skin.
• Fixed the Coda Pathocyst using the incorrect model when thrown.

• Fixed equipped Incarnon weapons not holstering correctly when swapping between other weapons in the Arsenal.
• Fixed being unable to chat link the Dex Laurus Ephemera.
• Fixed Resetting Decorations in the Obstacle Course Architect room causing placed Polychrome Decorations to also be removed, which led to players being unable to re-place a Polychrome Decoration.
  • Now Polychrome Decorations are not removed using the “Reset Decorations” option in the Dojo since they are not a traditional decoration.
  • If your Dojo was affected by this bug, you should be able to place a Polychrome Decoration once more in the affected room.
• Fixed a crash when selecting Unresearched Polychrome Colors in the Polychrome Decoration menu if the Clan has no Polychrome researched.
• Fixed players losing functionality upon death in Wyrmius.
• Fixed loss of function that could occur if an Xtra Cheese event starts while in the NavNow menu in the Pom-2.

  • We disabled this mechanic in the last Hotfix as it was causing players to get stuck on the End of Mission screen and have to forcibly exit the game. Our hope is that this issue was fixed. We’ll be closely monitoring reports and will disable this mechanic again if it is causing further issues.
  • Also fixed Archon Hunt squads being disbanded after each mission, instead of staying together until the third mission is complete as intended.
• Pheroglands now have a unique waypoint in Legacyte Harvest missions.
  • These waypoints will appear for players within 25m as a way of highlighting this speed-up mechanic for Kalymos.
• Updated Coda Bassocyst’s unique trait description to explain the buff earned from Mercy Kills.
  • Now reads: “Alternate Fire swarms enemies with mites, inflicting them with Impact and Magnetic Status Effects. If the targeted enemy is open to Mercy Kills perform a ranged finisher instead. Perform a Mercy Kill to gain +100% Damage and +100% Multishot.”
  • Also fixed Coda Bassocyst’s Mercy Kill buff missing an icon and description in-mission.
• Disabled Ability use in the Legendary Rank 5 test as you don’t need Abilities to hack.
  • This addresses players being able to use Perspicacity to auto-hack these consoles, which goes against the spirit of this test.
• Replaced a few more words in the Technocyte Coda name generator and made further refinements to the name generation system to avoid unfortunate name combinations.
• Increased the grace window of Temple’s metronome SFX from 4 to 7 Backbeat beats. 
  • Also slightly increased the volume of the metronome SFX.

  • Also slightly increased the radius at which they can be heard.
• Various Technocyte Coda animation fixes and polish.

• Fixed Necramechs not spawning in Temporal Archimedea for Clients who equipped the Vintage Tech Peely Pix.

Baruuk Reactive Storm Fixes & Changes:

• Removed a feature of Baruuk’s Reactive Storm Augment that tried to build towards the enemy faction weakness that you modded for.
  • The enemy weakness targeted will now be consistent regardless of Mods, prioritizing Combined Elemental Damage types, and never choosing a Physical Damage type.
  • This also fixes an issue where Impact Damage was always prioritized instead of Corrosive Damage when fighting Grineer and Scaldra.
• Fixed Baruuk’s Reactive Storm Augment combining base Elemental weaknesses with modded base Elements.

Fixes:

• Fixed cases of Teshin’s element switching mechanic not having a tutorial pop-up in The New War if the player used the mechanic before they get to the relevant section in the mission.
• Fixed being able to get out of bounds in a certain part of Teshin’s section in The New War quest.
• Fixed Gara’s Shattered Lash showing incorrect original Critical Multiplier when equipped with Arcane Melee Doughty.

Warframe – Ver. 38.5.4

• Release date: March 26th/27th 2025
• Patch notes:

Changes:

• Temporarily removed the “Auto-Disband Public Matchmade Squads” feature as it was causing players to lose function when leaving missions.
  • More specifically this fixes players who returned from missions (Hollvania, Orbiter, etc) and experienced a loss of function, resulting in having to reboot the game.
  • We’ll revisit re-adding this feature in our next Cert build to ensure its return is stable. 
• The Hell-Scrubber speed-up mechanic in Temporal Archimedea now only requires players to kill the marked Techrot Babau to decrease the mission timer.
  • Previously, these Techrot Babau would drop a “Hell-Scrubber Detonator” that players would need to bring to a Hell-Scrubber tower. This mechanic wasn’t entirely clear to players, so we’ve simplified it to mirror the Rogue Necramech Eximus mechanic in Deep Archimedea.
• Increased the number of Backbeat beats that Temple’s Metronome SFX will play for from 3 to 4.
  • This gives players a little more wiggle room to continue triggering the Metronome SFX when they’re consistently casting Temple’s abilities. 
    • As a refresher, the SFX will play on the first successful Backbeat hit, and will continue to play until they have not cast an Ability on the Backbeat for 4 beats. 
  • Our original patch note indicated it persisted for 5 beats — this was incorrect, oops!
• Further SFX polish for Temple’s Abilities.
• Increased the volume on Temple’s Metronome.

Top Fixes:

• Fixed Temple’s passive not functioning correctly in Höllvania missions.
• Fixed host migration after 3 waves of Stage Defense causing the ground to not break properly, resulting in returning players possibly being progression stopped.
  • This fix also addressed similar issues with the Stöfler defense mission on Lua.
• Fixed a crash when attempting to remove an Incarnon Genesis at Cavalero.
• Fixed the Antivirus Bounty missing an Extraction Waypoint if it was an Exterminate mission with the Volatile Techrot bounty modifier.

Performance & Optimization:

• Fixed using a Gemini Emote with many appearance configs but none of them containing a Gemini Skin causing performance issues for Clients.
• Fixed a small memory leak caused by the Leaping Thrasher’s VFX.

Fixes:

• Fixed various Syandana offsets on the Chymerist Suit.
• Fixed Technocyte Coda Duets being able to spawn behind the doors in the Höllvania loading tunnel.
• Fixed Legacyte having difficulty getting off the subway tracks in a new Höllvania tile. Nothing wrong with asking for uppies.
• Fixed being able to trade the Coda Bassocyst.
• Fixed being unable to purchase a pro-rated bundle if the player has placed all owned decorations available in that bundle.
• Fixed Mesa’s Peacemakers not always being visible on her model in-mission.
• Fixed being unable to Chat Link the Lovestruck Ephemera.
• Fixed a script error related to Ash’s Blade Storm.
• Fixed a script error when using Ash’s Blade Storm in an Archimedea mission with the Fortified Foes Risk Variable.

• Additional notes: none.

Warframe – Ver. 38.5.3

• Release date: March 25th/26th 2025
• Patch notes:

Nintendo Switch Exclusive Fixes:

• Fixes towards crashes on the Nintendo Switch when loading in or out of missions.
  • We are hoping to nail down further causes of Switch-specific crashing, but our hope is that this will reduce the number of crashes players experience.

Temporal Archimedea Omni Forma Script:
With 38.5.2 we removed Omni Forma Blueprints from the Gold and Diamond Reward Pools in Temporal Achimedea. For players who received Omni Forma Blueprints from these reward pools prior to that hotfix, we’ve run a script to replace them with a fully built Omni Forma. This script was run earlier today (at around 10:30am ET), so you should see the proper item in your account!

Changes:

• Steel Path and Arbitrations now only require players to have completed the Star Chart up until The New War to unlock these mission types. As a result, we have removed the requirement to complete the following nodes:
  • Zariman Ten Zero missions (those unlocked by the Angels of the Zariman Quest)
  • Albrecht’s Laboratories missions (those unlocked by the Whispers in the Walls Quest)
  • Höllvania missions (those unlocked by The Hex Quest)
• After a heart-to-heart with Kaya, her unintentional curse has been reinstituted with a Nova-minded version.
  • If we ever decide to drop an F-bomb in Warframe, it won’t be by accident (unlike on our Devstreams). 
• The Mission Tutorial Transmissions toggle now applies to transmissions in Deep Archimedea and Temporal Archimedea missions.
• Stage Defense Bounties will now indicate that Extraction is blocked if the bounty objective has not been met on the Leave/Continue screen.
  • Previously, Extraction was unavailable, but this restriction was not communicated to players, resulting in possible confusion as to why the Extract option was not working.
• Improved enemy pathing in the lower stage of Stage Defense missions.
  • Also updated the minimap in this lower stage to more accurately display the area accessible to the player.
• Increased Coda Sporothix’s magazine size from 9 to 11.
• Refined Temple’s Ability SFX for allies to reduce audio fatigue.
• Added metronome SFX to help players time their casts to Temple’s Backbeat. 
  • You can turn this off via the “Metronome Audio” setting in Temple’s Abilities Menu.
• Improved SFX on Techrot Cache keys to make them easier to find.
• Crossfire missions now display the actual mission time in the Navigation screen.
  • Previously, the mission type was only revealed once selecting the node/Alert itself.

Exalted Weapon Changes & Fixes:

• Rauta’s unique trait now gives combo to your Exalted Melee if it’s your Active Melee Weapon.
• Melee Crescendo specific changes:
  • Ash’s Bladestorm now benefits from Melee Crescendo!
  • Removed the ability to equip Melee Crescendo on Whipclaw, Shattered Lash, and Landslide Fists as they cannot perform Finishers.
  • Melee Crescendo now only increases the initial Combo of a weapon on Finishers performed with the weapon to which Crescendo is applied.
    • The only exception to this rule is Parazon Finishers which will count towards all weapons on which Melee Crescendo equipped.
  • Channelled Exalted Melee Weapons (ex: Exalted Blade) will still only be able to stack up Melee Crescendo while they are active. Melee Crescendo stacks will persist while the Exalted Weapon is inactive but new stacks can’t be gained until it is Channelled once more.
• Ash’s Blade Storm:
  • Fixed Ash’s Blade Storm sometimes not properly tracking already-dead enemies, resulting in function loss.
  • Fixed killing targets Marked by Ash’s Blade Storm not properly refunding Energy.
  • Fixed Combat Discipline not triggering from Ash’s Blade Storm kills.
  • Fixed Blade Storm’s Ability Combo Counter not always appearing for Clients.
  • Fixed broken enemy perception if players used Transference while Ash’s Teleport and Blade Storm are being cast.
• Baruuk’s Serene Storm:
  • Baruuk’s Reactive Storm Augment will now prioritize Desert Wind’s dominant damage type if it matches an enemy’s weakness. 
    • If there are no matches, it will now prioritize the Combined Elemental damage type (Viral, Corrosive, etc.)
  • Fixed Baruuk’s Serene Storm waves not triggering Melee Influence.
• Mesa’s Peacemaker:
  • Fixed a very short delay after deactivating Mesa’s Peacemaker that prevented player input.
  • Fixed Mesa not equipping your last-equipped weapon after disabling Peacemaker.
• Titania’s Diwata and Dex Pixia:
  • Re-enabled Exilus Slot on Titania’s Diwata to allow players to use Parry or Block Mods.
  • Fixed Ratka Dark Dagger’s unique trait triggering when swapping between Titania’s Dex Pixia and Diwata while in Razonwing.
• Gara’s Shattered Lash:
  • Fixed Melee Doughty not applying to Shattered Lash in-mission.
  • Fixed Melee Doughty applying to the Arc version of the attack in the Simulacrum, despite it having no Puncture status.
    • Now this Arcane works as one would expect, only applying the increased Critical Damage when using the pure Puncture version of the attack.
    • Also fixed Melee Doughty appearing to affect the Critical Multiplier of the Arcing Damage in the Update Screen. 
      • This was mostly UI only, as it only applied in Simualcrum missions.
  • Added safeguards to prevent the ability erroneously doing negative damage.

Technocyte Coda Changes & Fixes:

• Adjusted Potency Mod drop rate to provide a more consistent drop rate in missions.
• Removed more words from Technocyte Coda name generation to avoid unfortunate word combinations.
• Polished various Technocyte Coda animations.
• Polished various SFX in the Technocyte Coda Showdown mission.

• The Antivirus Bounty now appears at the top of the Bounty list to ensure players don’t miss it.

Warframe – Ver. 38.5.2

• Release date: March 20th/21st 2025
• Patch notes:

Technocyte Coda Trading:
We have temporarily removed the ability to trade your Technocyte Coda since traded Coda were not functioning properly, possibly resulting in players being unable to progress with their Coda at all. We are working to fix the core issue, but want to prevent players from obtaining a Coda in this broken state until we can do so.

For those with a traded Coda experiencing this issue, an unverified workaround is to play with another Tenno with a newly created Coda to force yours to show up and progress.

Changes:

• Omni Forma in the Gold and Arcane reward tiers have changed from BLUEPRINT to BUILT. 
  • In conjunction with that change, Omni Forma in the Silver reward tier remains a Blueprint, and its rarity has been adjusted to match the Tauforged rewards.
• Arcane Hotshot and Arcane Universal Fallout now apply to Exalted Weapon status effects —  notably Mesa’s Peacemaker.
• Removed various words from Technocyte Coda name generation to avoid some unfortunately named Codas.
• Removed numerous waypoints spawning when players have picked up a Mixtape. 
  • Now only the nearest hacking terminal will be waypointed to reduce visual clutter.
• Added a clarification to the pop-up that appears when players have an unopened Peely Pak, directing them to visit Kaya.
• Various SFX adjustments for the Technocyte Coda.
• Slightly increased the guitar riff in Temple’s Exalted Guitar SFX.
• Made slight audio mix adjustments on the Riot-848 pistol.
• Reduced the brightness on various lights in the Stage Defense tile.
• Polished Zeke’s dialog when attacked.
• Temporarily removed the ability to Sell/Dissolve Potency Mods due to them giving more Endo than intended. 
  • We’ll re-add this functionality once those values are corrected in a future hotfix.

Legendary Rank 5 Slate Script:

Those who completed their Legendary Rank 5 test between the launch of Techrot Encore and Hotfix #1 were missing their Legendary Rank 5 Slate. We have run a script returning this decoration to you, which you should find in your inventory!

Top Fixes:

• Fixed enemies failing to spawn in lower section of the Stage Defense mission, significantly slowing down or stopping wave progress.
• Fixed Quick Correct having a 25% drop chance for additional Live Heartcells instead of the intended 10%.
• Fixed “It Sees You”, “Old Pizza”, and “Optimism” Peely Pix giving additional Pix Chips on re-runs of Temporal Archimedea. Now they will give 1 Pix Chip per Round per week.

• Fixed Gemini skin heads becoming distorted when using new Coda emotes.
• Fixed Palladino missing Riven Mods for purchase in the Iron Wake.
• Fixed players being able to swap the Stance Polarity of their Exalted Melee Weapon.
  • Pre-Techrot Encore, Stances did not give Capacity to Exalted Melee weapons, meaning some players may have swapped its Polarity to another slot. Now that Stances do offer Capacity, we are removing this Ability since the Polarity is designed to match the associated Stance. 
  • Those who had swapped their Polarity before this hotfix should now see it returned, and have the Stance properly give Capacity to their Exalted Melee.
• Fixed Technocyte Coda having quirks, which unintentionally causing various issues depending on what quirk your Coda rolled, including:
  • Being able to infinitely stab Technocyte Coda Duets.
  • Not progressing to Showdown missions on 100% Virality Stabs.
    • If you are in this state, you’ll have to stab your Coda one more time and you should properly progress to Showdown.
• Fixed Clients dying in the Technocyte Coda Showdown causing lasers and music to break.
• Fixed Clients sometimes getting stuck waiting for the Technocyte Coda to return to the stage in the final Showdown.
• Fixed issue where it was possible to exceed Temple’s heat damage buff cap.
• Fixed Optimism Peely Pix effect not working after being revived.
• Fixed “Vamp Rock” Stage Defense mission variation in Temporal Archimedea not properly disabling Abilities and draining energy.

  • Players who attained Legendary Rank 5 between Techrot Encore’s launch and this hotfix will receive their Slate via a script in a future hotfix.
• Fixed rare cases of certain player accounts being unable to login.

HÖLLVANIA CENTRAL MALL UPDATES

 

THE ROUND TABLE (NEW PROTOFRAMES) 

It would seem Albrecht Entrati’s shadow over Höllvania extends further than previously thought – four brand-new Protoframes are here!  Flare, Minerva, Velimir and Kaya have moved into The Round Table pub in the Höllvania Central Mall and have much to offer visiting Drifters. 

 

After reaching Rank 4 (Hot and Fresh) with The Hex Syndicate and finishing The Hex Quest Finale, head to the The Round Table pub behind the stage in the Höllvania Central Mall to find these new Protoframes. 

While they all arrive at the Mall at Rank 4 (Hot and Fresh), you will need to reach Rank 5 (Pizza Party) to interact with Minerva, Velimir, and Kaya. 

Fast travel to these new Vendors is available from the pause menu and from the new “Protoframes” Quick Access Wheel option, with Flare becoming available at Rank 4 (Hot and Fresh) and Minerva & Velimir and Kaya becoming available at Rank 5 (Pizza Party). 

 

Each of these new Protoframes also have their own Gemini Skins and Emotes available for purchase in the in-game Market! Learn more about them in the Market Changes & Additions section of the patch notes.

You can also learn more about them with new conversations available in the Pom-2 KIM chat system! All details on that are in the KIM Updates section. 

 

Flare Varleon

Flare has transcended merely creating art, and thanks to Albrecht Entrati and the Technocyte Virus, they have become the art. The Protoframe of Temple is a spectacle that has to be seen to be believed. Learn more about the new Warframe Temple further down in the notes! 

Located on the stage at the back of the pub, Flare and their trusted guitar Lizzie are offering Memorabilia in exchange for Beating Heartstrings. You can obtain Beating Heartstrings from the NEW GAME MODE: STAGE DEFENSE. In exchange for Beating Heartstrings, Flare and Lizzie offer:

• Temple’s Main Blueprint and Component Blueprints 
• Riot 848’s Main Blueprint and Component Blueprints
• Stage Equipment Decorations:

Minerva Hendricks 

A former military agent from Libertatia, Minerva is used to her orders being followed… immediately. With cunning and beauty in equal measure, the Protoframe of Saryn has arrived in Höllvania and can be found sitting at the bar of The Round Table with Velimir. 

Minerva’s Covert Arms offers the following at Rank 5 (Pizza Party) with The Hex Syndicate: 

• Purgator 1’s Main Blueprint and Component Blueprints
• EFV-5 Jupiter’s Main Blueprint and Component Blueprints 
• EFV-8 Mars’ Main Blueprint and Component Blueprints
• Dual Viciss’ Main Blueprint and Component Blueprints

Velimir Volkov II

Kaya Velasco

Capable and cocky, Kaya is an engineering genius, despite being the youngest of the group. The Protoframe of Nova is eager to put her newfound powers of matter manipulation into practice. Kaya has stationed herself just outside The Round Table pub’s entrance, in the small alcove behind the stage. 

Tenno who are Rank 5 (Pizza Party) with The Hex will be able to start Temporal Archimedea missions through Kaya (learn more in its dedicated section). She also offers the following supplies in exchange for Pix Chips, a resource found during Temporal Archimedea: 

• NEW Warframe Arcanes (stats show at Max Rank): 
  • Arcane Hot Shot: Gain 6% weapon Critical Chance for 10s, when using abilities to inflict Heat Status on Enemies. Maximum 50x stacks.

  • Rotten Lives

 

• The Quick Access wheel now has all Protoframes grouped into the “Protoframe” category.

KIM UPDATES 

 

New KIM Conversations: Kaya, Minerva & Velimir, Flare 

There are some new faces around town! The latest Protoframe arrivals not only have The Hex chatting but also… you! Visit the Pom-2 PC in your Base of Operations and hop into the KIM messaging system to start chatting with Flare, Minerva & Velimir (together in a group chat), and Kaya. 

Discover what is haunting Flare and their sorrowful past. Learn more about the tumultuous history between Minerva and Velimir in their group chat as well as their relation to Major Neci Rusalka. Uncover why Kaya is desperate to escape and start fresh far far away from 1999. 

Prerequisites: 

• Access to the Pom-2 PC by completing The Hex Quest 
• Conversations with Flare are available at Rank 4 (Hot & Fresh) with The Hex Syndicate
• Conversations with Kaya and the group chat with Minerva and Velimir are available at Rank 5 (Pizza Party) with the Hex Syndicate 

New The Hex group chat conversations will also be available after the first time you speak to each of the new Protoframes. 

Chatting & Rapport

Like The Hex, you can chat with each of the new Protoframes once per day (resetting at 0:00 UTC).

However, unlike The Hex, they are not romanceable. The conversations will have you learning about these characters through the difficult and complex situations they have found themselves in. The narrative goal for you as the Drifter is to help them navigate these trials and mend what’s been broken (if you so chose to go that route!). But it won’t be easy and will require you to choose your words carefully in order for them to gain trust with you. With that said, discussions may veer into sensitive topics like mental health, loss, grief, and more. 

Since the goal is not to romance, the Chemistry you earn is more about building rapport with these new Protoframes. If your answers bode well, the messages will have the same gold shimmery text to indicate that you are on the right path. Gifting items from the DirectGiftz Shop to these Protoframes will not increase your Chemistry Rank, as that is tied specifically to the romance system. But who doesn’t love a good Scooticle, right? For that same reason, these Protoframes will also not appear in Bounties. 

As you progress through the conversations and gain rapport, their status with you will change. Unlike The Hex, these conversations occur in a set order, and your Rank will change as you progress through their story. Neutral 

• Friendly
• Liked
• Trusted
• Close 
• Associate (if you didn’t succeed at helping them overcome their issue)
• Best Friends (if you succeed at helping them overcome their issue)

You can view your rank with them in their KIM Profiles. Their profiles will also update with notes as you continue to chat with them to help guide you on what the “correct” replies may be. 

There will be a point in these conversations, where it’ll be clear you have either succeeded or failed in helping to resolve their issues. If you have made all the right choices to help them with their problems there will be certain “events” that occur to indicate that you have been successful in your endeavors. But there’s no fun in spoiling those surprises, so you’ll just have to play through to experience the fruits of your comradery and consulting!  

Birthday Messages

Additional conversations are available by connecting with the new Protoframes on their birthdays! Their dates will appear in the 1999 Calendar at Rank 5 (Pizza Party) with The Hex Syndicate. While there is no need to gain Chemistry with these Protoframes, these messages serve as an additional way to connect with —  or antagonize —  these new characters. 

NOTE: With the way 1999 Calendar Seasons are generated, new Protoframe birthdays will not appear on the Calendar until the New Year on April 7 at 0:00 UTC.

Starting Over

When the 1999 Calendar resets every month, choosing to forget or remember will also apply to the conversations you have with Kaya, Minerva & Velimir and Flare. For those interested in experiencing all of the possibilities in these new chats, choosing to Forget will reset all conversations (Hex included) back to square one. On that note, we’ve also added a new setting that allows all KIM conversations to play, learn more in General KIM Improvements (read on for details). 

General KIM Improvements: 

• The Pom-2 now has the following settings that you can access by selecting the gear icon next to the power button in the bottom right:

 

• Play All KIM Conversations Toggle: All available conversations will play in random order within each rank before moving on to the next rank. Reaching higher chemistry will take more time with this toggled on. 
  • Once the toggle is enabled, all conversation will play within your current Rank. So for example, if you are in the Close with Arthur and enable this toggle, all of the conversations in Close (and beyond while enabled) will play. If you wish to play ALL the conversations across all ranks, you will need to forget memories at the 1999 year reset. 
• Jump to Next Player Interaction Point Toggle: Disables the typing animation of Protoframes within the KIM system, automatically jumping ahead to the next player interaction point in all dialogues. 
• Background Selection: Choose from a variety of exciting background images! 
• The Reset or Remember pop-up at 1999 year-end will now only appear when visiting the KIM section of the Pom-2. 
  • In Hotfix 38.0.8, we added the ability to back out of the reset popup if you weren’t ready to make a decision, but it continued to appear each time you opened up the Pom-2 which could be intrusive to players who were not looking to interact with the KIM system every time. So we changed it to only appear when you select the KIM icon!
• Adjusted some of the Drifter responses in Eleanor conversations to help avoid confusion that may have driven players to become locked out of dating her too early. 

 

NEW HÖLLVANIA MISSION: STAGE DEFENSE

Flare managed to survive a terrible event at the hands of the Scaldra. Now they’re out to give Höllvania what Viktor was desperate to try to prevent — the sound of resistance resonating through the streets! Ride up and rock out to Flare and Lizzie’s performance at Solstice Square providing security to keep the Scaldra off their back during their spectacular set and ultimate act of defiance. 

How To Access

After reaching Rank 4 (Hot and Fresh) with The Hex Syndicate, interact with the Pom-2 PC in the Orbiter or the Höllvania Central Mall’s garage and select the “NavNow” button to bring up the map. Select Solstice Square to play Stage Defense. Additionally, Stage Defense can now appear as a Höllvania Bounty!

How To Play

Stage Defense works similar to regular Defense, in that you have to protect a target from being destroyed — but in this case, that target is Flare and Lizzie! While rocking out, they’ll blow the sound right out of the speakers scattered around the arena, stunning any enemies in their quake. Cut down any Scaldra who manage to stay standing so the concert never has to stop. Stage Defense lasts for 3 waves of enemies, with the final wave being emboldened with increased Eximus and a Scaldra Screamer! 

Scaldra Screamers are overzealous Scaldra units that are willing to blow themselves up to stop Flare and Lizzie from rocking on. Stop them before they can detonate, but beware of their nullifying pulses. Tenno experienced with the Disruption game mode will be familiar with similar enemies, Demolishers — except you’ve probably never had a Demolisher scream in your face, and it’s almost an inevitability with Scaldra Screamers.

After three waves, Tenno will be presented with the option to extract or continue fighting. If they choose to continue the show, the stage will collapse into the underground for the encore performance. 

Rewards

Stage Defense is the go-to mission for obtaining Temple Warframe Blueprints, as well as Beating Heartstrings, which can be used to make purchases at Flare’s Memorabilia. In addition to normal mission rewards, Tenno will receive 1 Beating Heartstring per 3 waves (or 2 Beating Heartstrings on Steel Path). Since this is an endless mission mode, rewards follow an AABCAABC rotation. Stage Defense follows a similar reward structure to Legacyte Harvest, with each tier of reward (A, B, & C) all having a chance to reward any Blueprint, with later rotations providing a higher chance of receiving a Blueprint.

All Rotations:

• Temple Blueprint & Component Blueprints
• Riot-848 Component Blueprints

In addition to rewards found in all rotations, each rotation also has their own relics and amount of Endo.

Rotation A:

• 600 Endo
• Meso Relics

Rotation B:

• 900 Endo
• Neo Relics

Rotation C:

• 1,200 Endo
• Axi Relics

Scaldra Screamers:

Scaldra Screamers also have a few Arcanes stuffed in their pockets — you’ll find when you stop their shrieking that they end up dropping one! Each Scaldra Screamer will drop one of the following Arcanes:

• Arcane Bellicose
• Arcane Crepuscular
• Arcane Camisado
• Arcane Impetus
• Arcane Truculence
• Melee Doughty
• Primary Crux
• Secondary Enervate

For a full list of drop rates, visit the official Warframe drop tables.

NEW ADVERSARY: TECHNOCYTE CODA

The Techrot has found a new way to grow and fester into every corner of Höllvania through the heartthrob sensation On-lyne! It has its grubby tentacles all over their beloved mixtapes and has mutated the band’s data and image into grotesque Techrot copies. Thwart its takeover by chasing down these phony-baloney On-lyne wannabees and be rewarded for doing so! Arthur Nightingale has kindly offered his guidance to you via transmissions to see that you are successful in eradicating the infection.  

Technocyte Coda Prerequisites 

• Completed all main Quests up to and including The Hex Quest 
  • You need access to the Höllvania missions in order to participate in the Technocyte Coda system. 
• No active Kuva Lich or Sister of Parvos 
  • Only 1 Adversary can be active at a time. If you have an active Adversary, you will not see Mixtapes in Höllvania missions that are the key to generating your Technocyte Coda. This however will not impact your squadmates ability to spawn their own if they do not have an active Adversary. 

How To Get A Technocyte Coda

First and foremost its important to note that all stages on the path to clearing your Technocyte Coda (aside from the final showdown in Earth Proxima) will specifically occur on the following Höllvania missions and Bounties:  

• Exterminate (Rhu Manor & Mausoleum East)
• Hell-Scrub (Old Konderuk and Mischta Rampart) 
• Legacyte Harvest (Köbinn West)

These missions will appear surrounded by green Techrot infection in the Pom-2 NavNow map screen. Technocyte Coda activity will never occur in the H-09 Efervon Tank Assassination, Solstice Square Defense and Faceoff (both Squad vs. Squad and Single Squad) missions to avoid disrupting mission objectives.

 

1. Upload Mixtape 

Kill Techrot enemies to acquire a dropped Mixtape in Exterminate, Hell-Scrub and Legacyte Harvest Höllvania missions and Bounties – they’ll be marked with a unique waypoint. Picking up the Mixtape will mark the terminals where you can upload it and complete the hack. 

 

You will generate a Technocyte Coda regardless of if you fail or succeed the hack, but additional events will occur based on how you perform: 

• Fail: Generate Technocyte Coda, but Techrot enemies are notified of your attempt and will spawn in to confront you. 
• Succeed: Generate Technocyte Coda and there’s a small chance to be rewarded with a Potency Mod (learn more in the Malware Disinfection section). 

Like any good band, they’ve got plenty of mixtapes to go around so each time you go to spawn a Technocyte Coda the Mixtape title will be randomized. Who wouldn’t want to jam out to “ButteryPenguine” and  “BizkitBounce”? Just to name a few! 

Upon returning from the mission, your Technocyte Coda will introduce themselves. Each band has a randomly generated band name and color scheme, as well as a dedicated Frontman (more on them in the Technocyte Coda Concert section). Any of the Technocyte copies of On-lyne members are eligible to be the Frontman, and you’ll know who has taken up the mantle as their name will be prefixed in the band title. 

• HARDDRIVE_ 
• ZEKE_
• DRILLBIT_
• PACKET_
• DJROM_

 

They’ll also be front and center in the Technocyte Coda screen! This screen will also indicate their weaknesses, resistances and immunities, rewards for defeating them, Malware Disinfection progress and Antivirus attempts – all of which we’ll cover in the following sections! You can access this screen at any time by selecting the Technocyte Coda button in the pause menu or by selecting the “Repair” button in the POM-2’s MALWARE FOUND popup. 

 

Unlike Kuva Liches and Sisters of Parvos, the progenitor Warframe (the Warframe you have equipped at the time of Adversary generation) does not have an impact on your Technocyte Coda. With Kuva Liches and Sisters of Parvos, this would determine the Valence Bonus of the Kuva/Tenet weapon you earn from Vanquishing them. But with the Technocyte Coda system, Coda Weapons are not directly acquired from the Coda themselves, but rather from Eleanor for a new special currency called Live Heartcells, rewarded from Vanquishing Technocyte Codas. More on that in the Technocyte Coda Rewards section. 

Technocyte Coda Debuff: The Coda Cyst! 

Your Technocyte Coda will make sure you don’t forget that you are both in an endless chase! Unlike Kuva Liches and Sisters of Parvos that have Reward Tax, a Technocyte Cyst will appear on all your Warframes until your Coda is defeated. 

 

This juicy green boil protruding from the neck will grow bigger with each Höllvania mission completed while you have a Technocyte Coda active. Only defeating them will Disinfect your Warframes and rid them of that atrocious fashion killer! 

It is possible to have both a Helminth and a Technocyte Cyst at the same time. You can still drain the Helminth Cyst in the Helminth chair as usual to remove it, but the Technocyte Cyst will remain until you defeat your Technocyte Coda. 

2. Malware Disinfection 

The journey to defeating your Technocyte Coda involves Malware Disinfection and, like any smart web surfer, you start by finding the best Antivirus software you can find! 

The goal is to bring your Technocyte Coda’s Malware Disinfection to 100%. This will prompt them to flee to Earth Proxima for their final performance and your final dance with them (more on that in the Technocyte Coda Concert section). 

How to Increase Malware Disinfection: 

• Malware Disinfection increases by 5% after completing Exterminate, Hell-Scrub and Legacyte Harvest Höllvania missions/Bounties OR after injecting your Technocyte Coda with the correct Antivirus Mod during a Duet. 
• You can increase the amount of Malware Disinfection earned from correctly injecting your Coda with the use of Potency Mods. 

You can view your Malware Disinfection progress in the Technocyte Coda screen. 

 

Antivirus & Potency Parazon Mods

There are two types of Parazon Mods that are used to increase Malware Disinfection: Antivirus and Potency! 

 

Antivirus Mods 

Before taking on your Technocyte Coda in a Duet, you’ll first want to equip your Parazon with Antivirus Mods! 

These are the 1999 equivalent of Requiem Mods for Kuva Liches and Sisters of Parvos. Except, instead of needing to stab your Adversary with the correct Requiem mods in the correct order, you only need 1 of the Antivirus Mods to be correct to increase Malware Disinfection. Meaning, regardless of where you have placed the correct Antivirus Mod in your Parazon you will gain Malware Disinfection upon injecting the Duet. 

Unlike Kuva Liches/Sisters of Parvos, failing to have the correct Antivirus Mod will not increase the strength of your Technocyte Coda. The only consequence for failing is not gaining Malware Disinfection. 

Antivirus attempts are tracked in the Technocyte Coda screen, as well as in your Parazon upgrade screen to inform you of which of the Antivirus Mods has successfully increased Malware Disinfection and which have not. From there you can equip/unequip mods until you find the correct Antivirus Mod! 

 

There are a total of 8 Antivirus Mods, each a brand of 1999 Antivirus software: 

• ByteRyte: Keeps your bytes tight and your bits fit
• Worm Away: Get rid of malware, spyware, wetware and worms
• Trojan Tracker: Eliminating sneaky viruses since 1989
• Keep-Clean: There’s no Clean like Keep-Clean
• Drive-Duster: Your digital virus buster
• Soft Safe: Keeping software safe by ALWAYS WATCHING
• Anti-V: Digital extremists stand no chance when you have Anti-V on your side 
• Computer Cop: Stopping cyber-crime in its tracks 

 

Potency Mods 

These are used to, you guessed it, increase the Potency of the Malware Disinfection injected into your Technocyte Coda when the correct Antivirus Mod is equipped. They are completely optional and are not required to successfully defeat your Technocyte Coda, but they sure will make the process faster! They also each come with a special secondary effect. 

There are a total of 5 Potency Mods: 

• Immuno Shield: Gain 15% Disinfection and gain 5000 Affinity 
• Instant Secure: Gain 15% Disinfection and gain 10,000 Höllars 
• Quick Correct: Gain 10% Disinfection and 10% chance to drop a Live Heartcell 
• Threat Blocker: Gain 10% Disinfection and 25% chance to drop a Potency Mod 
• Turbo Protect: Gain 10% Disinfection and 25% chance to drop an Antivirus Mod

To get you started, we suggest equipping Antivirus Mods into all three of the Parazon slots for higher chance of finding the correct one in Duet encounters. Once you have found it, you can swap out the two incorrect Antivirus Mods for whichever Potency Mods you like! 

 

Antivirus/Potency Mod Charges: 

Each of the Antivirus and Potency Mods have three charges. Once all three charges have been consumed, the mod becomes corrupted and will no longer provide its listed effects. 

• Antivirus charges are only consumed once you have made the final injection to a Duet to bring Malware Disinfection to 100%. 
• Potency charges are consumed when the correct Antivirus Mod is injected. 

Similar to Requiem Mods, 4 corrupted Antivirus OR Potency Mods can be transmuted into a single fully charged Antivirus OR Potency Mod. 

How to Acquire Antivirus & Potency Mods:  

• Antivirus Mods:
  • A dedicated Antivirus Techrot Bounty has been added to the Höllvania Bounty Board that exclusively rewards Antivirus Mods.
    • Note: This Bounty is not led by a Hex member, and will therefore not provide any Chemistry gains. 
  • Purchase the Coda Antivirus Mod Pack (contains one of each Antivirus Mod) from the in-game Market for Platinum. It will be available in the Market after you have completed The Hex Quest. 
• Potency Mods:
  • Dropped from Techrot enemies in Höllvania missions. 
  • Purchase the Coda Potency Mod Pack (contains one of each Potency Mod) from the in-game Market for Platinum. It will be available in the Market after you have completed The Hex Quest. 
• You can get all the Antivirus Mods AND Potency Mods in the Complete Protection Antivirus Pack (contains one of each Potency and Antivirus Mod), available for Platinum in the in-game Market. It will be available in the Market after you have completed The Hex Quest. 

Once you have equipped your Parazon with Antivirus and Potency Mods you’ll be ready to take on a Technocyte Coda Duet to gain Malware Disinfection progress. 

Technocyte Coda Duet 

Once you have procured your Technocyte Coda, Höllvania will be under threat of two of the band members (that are not the Frontman) spawning together to try to take you down —  we call this a Duet! 

The POM-2 NavNow map will mark which nodes a Duet could occur in with green Techrot infection. As a reminder, these missions will always be Exterminate, Hell-Scrub and Legacyte Harvest. They can also spawn in Bounties with those mission types. Duets only appear once per mission if they spawn and when they do it’ll be towards the end of the mission. 

Duet Probability 

Hovering over any of the infected nodes will show the probability of a Duet appearing. 

 

This probability applies to all infected nodes and changes depending on the following conditions: 

• Upon freshly acquiring a Technocyte Coda, all eligible nodes have a 25% chance for a Duet to spawn. 
• Every successful mission where they fail to spawn, the chance across all infected nodes increases by another 25%. 
• The spawn chance resets back to 25% across all infected nodes after a Duet spawns, regardless of whether you fail or succeed with the Antivirus injection. It will also reset if you fail the mission that the Duet spawns in. If they do not spawn after 3 missions, the 4th mission will have a 100% guaranteed Duet appearance. 
  • Mission 1 – 25% 
  • Mission 2 – 50% 
  • Mission 3 – 75% 
  • Mission 4 – 100%

Once you have completed a mission, the node will clear of the Technocyte Coda infection (it will no longer be marked by green tendrils), meaning a Duet will not spawn there. Continue to clear the remaining infected nodes until a Duet spawns. Eligible nodes will all be re-infected if either a Duet spawns and you successfully inject them with the correct Antivirus OR you clear all of the remaining eligible nodes.

How to Fight Coda Duets

As you can expect with a boyband, each member has a special set of skills that make them stand out from each other (and so that you can choose your bias of course)! You’ll have to endure each member’s unique set of attacks and abilities when encountered in a Duet. 

Be sure to take stock of their weaknesses, resistances and immunities in the Technocyte Coda screen in order to prepare your Loadout for Duets! 

 

Once a Duet spawns, get ready for the dance off of your life! Damage the boyband members until you have independently drained both their health and downed each. Both members must be downed at the same time in order to stick ‘em with the Antivirus. You’ll have to be quick on your feet because once both have been taken down they won’t stay there forever and will recover after 30 seconds. Approach either one of the members once both downed and use the “Run Antivirus” context action to see if you have the correct Antivirus Mod equipped. 

Upon running the Antivirus, the Duet will boogie on out of the mission and a popup will occur informing you whether or not you had the correct one equipped. As a reminder, you can track your Antivirus attempts from the Technocyte Coda screen to help guide you to make changes to your Parazon. 

In addition to gaining Malware Disinfection for injecting the correct Antivirus, you will also be rewarded with a random Hex Treasure. 

Unlike Kuva Liches/Sisters of Parvos, you will not gain Disinfection from your squad members injecting their Technocyte Coda in a Duet. You will however still receive the 5% for completing the mission or from injecting your own Duet. 

Similar to other Adversaries, if both members in the Duet are downed three times without attempting to run the Antivirus, or all players are in bleedout or dead, they will leave the mission. 

 

3. Technocyte Coda Concert (Final Showdown) 

Once 100% Malware Disinfection has been achieved, your Technocyte Coda will flee to Earth Proxima. You’ll finally come face to face with the Technocyte Coda and put an end to their tour of torment. So fire up your Railjack, pursue them and be ready to have the party of your lifetime! 

Go to Navigation in your Base of Operations and select the Railjack icon in the top right to swap to the Proxima regions. Select the Technocyte Coda Concert node on Earth to start the final showdown. 

 

What To Expect – Steps to Defeat Technocyte Coda

1. Destroy Speakers 

The Technocyte Coda aren’t going to make it easy for you to reach their big stage performance. Two gargantuan speakers sit outside of the stadium acting as the stadium’s security system. You’ll need to take them out in order to enter. However, approaching them will send the soundwaves through your Railjack that mucks up its instruments. You’ll be brought to a screeching halt, making you the perfect target for a Techrot onboarding. Defeat the invading enemies and find and destroy the Hive Infestation they’ve left blistering inside your ship to regain control. 

Clearing the enemies and Hives will restore Pilot controls, enabling you to destroy the speaker with your Railjack Armaments and move onto the second speaker to repeat the same steps. 

2. Breach the Stadium 

Once both speakers have been taken care of, you’ll be able to breach the stadium. You can either fly up to the stadium with your Archwing and use the context action to enter OR use the Railjack’s Archwing Slingshot and aim at the stadium for a big flashy rockstar entrance. 

Proceed to the lobby where the Technocyte Coda will take note of your arrival and take the opportunity to taunt you. Once all your teammates have a meetup in the lobby, you’ll need to show the Technocyte Coda how you really feel about their insult lobbing by destroying the screens with the faces of On-lyne plastered on them. Doing so will grant you access to gather at the stadium doors and enter the arena. If playing in a squad, all players must meet up at the doors in order for the doors to open. 

3. Enter the Arena and Fight! 

Entering the arena and reaching the stage will kickoff the performance! The fight has four stages:

Stage 1: 

Dodge pyrotechnic, lightshow and speaker wave attacks while your Technocyte Coda performs. You’ll not only need to survive through their dazzling showmanship but also the onslaught of Techrot enemies entering the arena. 

Getting hit by any of the stage attacks will inflict you with the Stage Fright debuff – which doubles the damage you’ll take in Stage 2 if you get hit 3 times. A HUD buff icon and white flood lights will turn on during Stage 2 to indicate the affliction. The Technocyte Coda will also grow in strength each time you are hit 3 times with one of the following buffs (after 9 hits, all of the buffs are applied): 

• Increased Health
• Increased Attack
• Increased Casting Speed 

Note: During Stage 1 and Stage 3, Transference is disabled. Gotta keep your Warframe moving and grooving through that lightshow! 

Stage 2: 

After surviving the light show, three bandmembers will step down from the stage to take you head on! Attack them until each member is downed. Every boyband needs an intermission, so they’ll take that opportunity to step back on stage to reset for Stage 3. 

Stage 3: 

Once reset, you’ll need to survive another round of stage attacks (same process as in Stage 1). 

Stage 4: 

Afterwards all members, including your frontman, will jump down off the stage to face the music one last time. You’ll have to defeat each member other than the frontman first before you can make the final blow. The frontman will be vulnerable to damage but will continue to regenerate as long as the other bandmembers are alive. 

Once you have successfully downed the backup crew you can then take down the frontman and use the “Purge Technocyte Coda” context action. From here you will decide the fate of your Technocyte Coda’s career: Vanquish OR Convert!  

Vanquish OR Convert 

Similar to Kuva Lich/Sisters of Parvos, upon defeating your Technocyte Coda, you will be presented with the option to either Vanquish or Convert. Depending on what you chose, the rewards and outcomes will differ! 

You can view what you’ll be rewarded depending on if you Vanquish and Convert from the Technocyte Coda screen at any time before the final showdown. We go into more details on the specifics of those rewards in the Technocyte Coda Rewards section. 

Vanquish: 

Your Technocyte Coda will perish, their tour is canceled indefinitely! You will receive the Vanquish rewards listed, including Live Heartcells, which are a guaranteed reward specifically for Vanquishing and are used to purchase Coda Weapons from Eleanor. More on that in the Coda Weapons section. 

Convert: 

The frontman of your Technocyte Coda becomes your ally! They operate the same as Converted Kuva Lich and Sisters of Parvos – Your frontman can be hired on as Railjack Crew, may spawn in to assist after being revived once in mission and can be called in via the On Call Crew Gear item to deploy them outside of Railjack missions. Converted Technocyte Coda frontmen can also be traded with other players – the receiving player will acquire their cosmetic rewards (i.e. the new Ephemeras or Dance Emotes). 

(Multiplayer) Encore! 

If you are playing in a squad, you will be able to take down each of your Technocyte Codas one by one together. You’ll know whose Technocyte Coda you are fighting by their name, which is indicated in the Health bar and during the intro cutscene upon entering the arena. To defeat all squadmembers Codas, complete Stages 1 – 4 together until the player tied to that particular Technocyte Coda has Vanquished or Converted their frontman. After doing so, an “Encore!” context action at the front of the stage will appear for anyone in the squad to use to bring out the next player’s Technocyte Coda. Repeat until all squadmembers Codas have been defeated.  

After doing so, exit the stadium using the Esophage on stage and return to the Railjack. Use the Navigation to return to the Dry Dock. Once you have extracted from the mission, an inbox message will be waiting for you with your Technocyte Coda’s Rewards!

Coda Weapons 

Wield the Technocyte virus! Vanquish Technocyte Coda to earn Live Heartcells and trade them at Eleanor in the Höllvania Central Mall for Coda Weapons. 

Similar to Kuva and Tenet Weapons, each weapon has a Valence Bonus, but they are randomly generated each time they rotate into Eleanor’s store instead of being impacted by the progenitor Warframe. Each time Eleanor’s Store rotates, these bonuses roll again to offer new possibilities!  

Coda Weapons also have a Max Rank of 40 with Overleveling (increase max rank by +2 with Forma up to 5 times). Mastery points are earned for each additional rank until 40 for a total of 4,000 Mastery.

They are also eligible for Valence Fusion! Fuse two of the same Coda Weapons for a higher Valence Bonus. 

Eleanor’s Coda Weapon Store Rotation: 

Similar to Ergo Glast’s Tenet Weapon store, Eleanor’s rotates between the batches rotate every 4 days at 0:00 UTC and only one of each weapon can be bought per rotation. Since there are an uneven number of weapons (13) they are split up with Batch A offering 7 and B with 6. 

With launch, Batch A is the current list of Coda Weapon offerings. Batch B will rotate on Sunday, March 23 at 0:00 UTC. 

• Batch A: 
  • Coda Catabolyst 
  • Coda Hema
  • Coda Motovore 
  • Coda Mire 
  • Coda Pox 
  • Coda Sporothrix 
  • Dual Coda Torxica 
• Batch B: 
  • Coda Bassocyst 
  • Coda Caustacyst 
  • Coda Hirudo 
  • Coda Pathocyst 
  • Coda Synapse 
  • Coda Tysis 

Coda Bassocyst

Amplify shockwaves of devastating sound with this Technocyte Coda infested shotgun that hungers for blood, and desires nothing more than to feed upon its enemies. Alternative fire  at enemies not vulnerable to Mercy Kills to swarm them with infested mites, while firing at vulnerable ones will perform a ranged execution. 

Coda Catabolyst

When the magazine reaches empty and is manually reloaded, the Coda Catabolyst launches not one but three powerful grenades. Also has a higher Status Chance, Damage and Magazine Size. 

Coda Caustacyst

The Coda Caustacyst scythe is a force to be reckoned with, the Technocyte virus honing it with improved Damage, Status Chance, and Critical Damage, as well as larger acid pools with longer duration.

Dual Coda Torxica

Get the job done right with a pair of spore flinging terror tools. Inflicts a spore that spreads to nearby enemies on death causing Cold Status Effect and increased vulnerability to damage, especially from the Torxica.

Coda Hema 

The Technocyte virus did nothing but increase the Hema’s thirst for blood. With increased Fire Rate, Magazine Size, Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, Status Chance, and  Damage.

Coda Hirudo

Rip and shred your enemies to pieces with the Technocyte Coda Hirudo. With improved Damage, Status Chance, and Critical Chance and Critical Multiplier.

Coda Pathocyst

Enhanced by Technocyte mutations, the Coda Pathocyst comes with increased Damage, Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier and Status Chance. While in-flight or on contact with the enemy, it will occasionally spawn enhanced, enemy-seeking miasmites.

Coda Mire

The Plague Year of 1999 will never be the same. With improved Critical Multiplier, Critical Chance and Status Chance, the Technocyte virus has turned the Coda Mire into a truly horrifying blade.

Coda Motovore

Drive home the pain with this hammer evolved from a scooter assembly. The wheel shapeshifts and gains a unique buff to match whatever type of physical damage it has been modded for.

Coda Pox

These festering, writhing, throwable projectiles of pus and gas have been improved with a greater Magazine Size, Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier, Status Chance, and Damage.

Coda Synapse 

Firing a nonstop stream of vile corrosive gastric juice, the Coda Synapse comes with increased Magazine size, Beam Length, Status Chance, Punch Through, and Damage. 

Coda Sporothrix

Delivers a virus-laden barb to its victim that continues to damage it before exploding. With increased Damage, Reload Speed, Magazine Size, Status Chance, and explosion radius. 

Coda Tysis

The Technocyte virus has contorted this Tysis into a more lethal weapon. With increased Damage, Critical Chance, Critical Multiplier and Magazine Capacity.

 

Elemental Vice (Valence Override) 

Elemental Vice is a new permanent upgrade item for your Rank 40 Adversary Weapons (Kuva, Tenet, and Coda) that unlocks Valence Override which allows you to freely swap the damage type of a weapon’s Valance Bonus all the time any time! 

Since the Coda Weapon rotation schedule is set up the same as Ergo Glast, we wanted to address the concerns about limited access to desired Valence Bonuses per rotation that we’ve seen with Ergo. So we’ve introduced the Elemental Vice to give players the freedom to swap their Valence Bonus Damage Type without having to wait for the rotation that may or may not have what they are looking for.

The Damage Types that you can swap to are the same ones that your Adversary Weapon’s can generate: 

• Impact
• Electricity 
• Heat 
• Cold
• Toxin
• Magnetic 
• Radiation

Note: Only the Damage Type can be swapped, the buff percentage will remain the same. For example, if you have a weapon with a 48% Radiation Damage Valence Bonus and swap the damage type to Heat with Valence Override, the bonus will now be 48% Heat. 

How to Acquire Elemental Vice: 

• For Standing at Rank 5 (Pizza Party) with The Hex Syndicate from Eleanor’s wares in the Höllvania Central Mall. 
• After completing The Hex Quest you can purchase from the in-game Market for Platinum. 

How to Use Elemental Vice: 

1. Go to your Arsenal and select the Adversary Weapon you’d wish to upgrade with an Elemental Vice
   • Reminder: Only Rank 40 Adversary Weapons are eligible to be upgraded with Elemental Vice
2. Go the that weapon’s upgrade screen 
3. Select the Actions button 
4. Select the new Valence Override option 
5. Hit Ok to install an Elemental Vice and unlock Valence Override for that weapon
   • If you don’t have an Elemental Vice, you will be given the option to purchase one for Platinum via this screen. 

How to Use Valence Override: 

1. Select the Actions button in your weapon’s Upgrade screen 
2. Select the Valence Override button 
   • The icon will also show the current Elemental Damage Type selected!
3. Select the Damage Type you’d like to swap to
4. Rinse and repeat as desired!

TEMPORAL ARCHIMEDEA 

Return to the Archimedea once more, Tenno. Embarking upon the streets of Höllvania, you’ll engage with this weekly challenge re-imagined —  featuring new mechanics, 1999 mission types, and a new power fantasy reward set.

Just like Deep Archimedea, players must complete three missions in a row being able to change their loadouts. Rewards are based on the modifiers the player thrusts upon themselves, with riskier runs giving tubular rewards! 

Please use our dedicated Bug and Feedback Subforums now that this mode is live!

Requirements

• Completed The Hex Quest
• Rank 5 (Pizza Party) with The Hex Syndicate

Difficulty Level

Like Deep Archimedea, Temporal Archimedea will feature the most challenging, ferocious foes the Scaldra and Techrot have to throw at you.

Temporal Archimedea: 350 – 375

Elite Temporal Archimedea: 475 – 500

Players will not have an opportunity to change Loadouts in between missions! In other words, the Loadout you bring is the one you’ll use through all three missions. Prep carefully!

How to Access & Begin

How to Access

Find Kaya Velasco, by the entrance of The Round Table just behind the concert stage in Höllvania Mall.

Just like Necraloid, she’ll serve as the starting point for choosing your modifiers and equipment. 

 

An important note: Temporal Archimedea requires 2 Search Pulses to unlock —  these are pulled from the same pool used by Netracells and Deep Archimedea! To ensure all Tenno can experience Temporal Archimedea on release, an extra 5 Search Pulses were added with the release of Techrot Encore, which expire with the weekly reset on Monday, March 24 @ 0:00 UTC. This means, however, that you can choose to run any variation of game mode sequence, such as Temporal Archimedea, Deep Archimedea, and one Netracell – or 1 Temporal Archimedea and 3 Netracells.

Once all your equipment is selected, Kaya will open a portal to the garage.

Due to Temporal Archimedea being in Höllvania, the 1999 Calendar Overrides apply to this game mode as well! 

How to Begin

1.  Interact with Kaya to pull up the Temporal Archimedea menu and redeem 2 of your Search Pulses

Here, unlock access to Temporal Archimedea, choose your Individual Parameters, inspect the necessary gear and choose your Peely Pix!

 

2. Select Individual Parameters

To increase your reward pool and alter the difficulty of Temporal Archimedea, players can enable Individual Parameters and equip any of the items listed in the Loadout Parameters at the top. 

Doing so will increase the Research Points earned from completing missions, which can unlock different Reward Pools. For a better understanding of all the rewards Temporal Archimedea has in store for you, read up on the “Research Points & Rewards” section!

3. Select the “BEGIN RESEARCH” button

This’ll begin your venture into Temporal Archimedea as Kaya opens a portal to the garage. Good luck, Tenno…

Temporal Archimedea, and all the Loadout Parameters, Rewards, and Missions reset weekly on Mondays at 0:00 UTC.

Peely Pix

Introducing: Peely Pix! The best way to take your Temporal Archimedea attempts to the next level for the sweet, juicy rewards beckoning at the finish line.

Peely Pix are the new sticker rewards Tenno can earn from successfully completing Temporal Archimedea missions, providing unique synergetic game mode modifiers. Each sticker provides a specific buff, altering how you might approach an encounter, how you build your loadout, or anything else.

 

Peely Pix features art from the following community artists! 

• Nelosart
• bugbreach
• Darika
• Freyaloi
• DasterCreations

How do Peely Pix work?

Peely Pix are unique buffs you can attach to each individual Temporal Archimedea mission. Only one Peely Pix can be applied to a mission, so you can select three stickers for the three different Temporal Archimedea missions. Additionally, Peely Pix are individually applied, meaning your stickers affect you alone.

Stickers are not consumed on use, and can only be used once per Temporal Archimedea Loadout! So, you can use them forever, but you can’t apply the same sticker on all three missions – they all have to be different from one another! 

Additionally, loaner weapons granted by Peely Pix have unique Mod setups per Peely Pix upgrade level.

Obtaining Peely Pix

Peely Pix are obtained from Peely Pax, offering 5 random stickers per pack! You can obtain Peely Paks from Temporal Archimedia rewards, and from Kaya’s wares.

Earning 15 Research Points in Temporal Archimedea (see: Research Points and Rewards) will grant the player a Peely Pak to open up.

Each Peely Pak contains 5 Peely Pix.

• Each Peely Pak will contain a random set of Peely Pix, with protections in place to ensure each Peely Pix is different in every pack!
• Receiving duplicates once a Peely Pix is Chromatic will instead net you an extra Pix Chip.
• When you first activate Temporal Archimedea, you’ll receive one free Peely Pak to provide a few Peely Pix for your first run!

Pop open a Peely Pak to receive your goodies, presented in a style similar to Relic packs!

 

At 28 and 37 Research Points, players will earn “Pix Chips,” a currency redeemable with Kaya. You can use Pix Chips to purchase Peely Paks and any of the following rewards she’s got stashed away:  

• Peely Pak
• Vosfor Cache
• Arcane Hotshot
• Arcane Universal Fallout
• Arcane Escapist
• Display – Peely Pix
• From The Stars Somachord Tone

 

Each Peely Pix has three upgrade levels, which will upgrade every time you acquire a duplicate of a Peely Pix sticker. All Peely Pix start at Normal effectiveness (50%), but can be increased to Sparkly (75%) and then Chromatic (100%) with the more duplicate Peely Pix you earn. 

• Players will need 4 duplicate Peely Pix to upgrade from Normal to Sparkly, and 5 more to upgrade from Sparkly to Chromatic, totalling 10 Peely Pix to max out a sticker.
  • Each Peely Pak will not contain duplicate stickers and receiving extra Peely Pix on already-Chromatic stickers will instead net you an extra Pix Chip.

Upgrading Peely Pix

Each Peely Pix has three upgrade levels, which will upgrade every time you acquire a duplicate of a Peely Pix sticker. All Peely Pix start at Normal effectiveness (50%), but can be increased to Sparkly (75%) and then Chromatic (100%) with the more duplicate Peely Pix you earn. 

• Players will need 4 duplicate Peely Pix to upgrade from Normal to Sparkly, and 5 more to upgrade from Sparkly to Chromatic, totalling 10 Peely Pix to max out a sticker.
  • Each Peely Pak will not contain duplicate stickers and receiving extra Peely Pix on already-Chromatic stickers will instead net you an extra Pix Chip.

Mission Restrictions & Additions

Empowered Enemies:

• Enemies feature their Health and Shields increased by 100% with an additional 50% per Squad member, up to 300%.
• Eximus galore! Expect to see more Eximus units.

Respawn Restrictions:

• No Self Revive: Just like Deep Archimedea, self-reviving is disabled. Instead, a Tenno that dies in Temporal Archimedea must be revived with 5 Resurgence Tokens, similar to Arbitrations. When a player dies, enemies will begin to occasionally drop Resurgence Tokens. Players can pick up Resurgence Tokens, and once 5 total tokens (marked by 5 Resurgence Burdens in your buff bar), have been accumulated, a console will activate for a player to hack. Successful hacking of the terminal will revive the fallen player nearby.
  • The console cannot be autohacked with a Cypher or the Auto Breach Parazon Mod.
• Last Gasp Penalty: Activating Last Gasp Focus Ability reduces the timer by 2 seconds.
• Bleedout Shortens: Following each revive, your bleedout timer shortens, down to a 5-second minimum.
• Mortis Strikes: If a Tenno is dead for over three minutes, they’ll receive a Mortis Strike. After 3 Mortis Strikes, that player won’t be able to earn anymore rewards. 
  • All mission rewards earned before receiving 3 Mortis Strikes will be retained, including mission completion rewards.
  • Ex: if you received your 3rd strike in Mission 3, you would still retain earned rewards from Mission 1 and 2. 
  • The Mortis Strike timer only begins once a player’s bleed out timer expires and they have fully died. 
  • The Mortis Strike timer accumulates while a player is dead, awaiting revival. The counter is cumulative and does not reset upon revives, so try to stay alive, Tenno!

Consumable Restrictions:

• Cooldown Increase: Each Restore item has a 3-minute cooldown timer attached, regardless of Restore item size.

Protoframe Support:

Just like how The Hex join for Bounties, Velimir (the Frost Protoframe) and Minerva (the Saryn Protoframe) will join your Temporal Archimedea missions!

• Mission 1: Velimir is present.
• Mission 2: Minerva is present.
• Mission 3: Both Velimir and Minerva are present.

Mission-Specific Mechanics:

• Hell-Scrub: 
  • Timer Reduction: An unusual Babau periodically appears. If killed, it drops a Scaldra device to use on a Hell-Scrubber, awarding no life support but reducing the mission timer.

Individual Parameters

Detriments for you, and you alone. Like Deep Archimedea, these parameters are debuffs hindering your Ability to overpower the game mode. Additionally, the new Personal Modifiers have also found their way into Deep Archimedea!

These individual parameters encompass your Warframe, Weapons and Personal Modifiers. Loadouts are not identical between Deep Archimedea and Temporal Archimedea.

Returning Personal Modifiers:

• Gear Embargo: Gear cannot be used.
• Powerless: All Abilities are disabled until you kill 50 enemies. 
• Secondary Wounds: Gain 1 Puncture Status Effect every time you take damage.
• Lethargic Shields: Shield recharge delay increased 500%
• Ammo Deficit: Ammo restored by drops and gear is reduced 75%
• Abbreviated Abilities: Ability durations reduced by 50%.
• Transference Distortion: Transference into Operator and Drifter is blocked.
• Framecurse Syndrome: Activating an Ability inflicts 50 damage upon you.
• Knifestep Syndrome:  Lose 2 Health when moving. Jumping pauses the effect.
• Energy Exhaustion: Lose 2 Energy per second for each enemy within 10 meters of you.
• Exposed: Your armor is reduced to 0.
• Untreatable: Pickups do not heal, and Health Orbs cannot be picked up.

• Undersupplied: Max Ammo on all weapons is reduced by -75%.
• Constricted:  Max Energy is reduced by 75%.

• Dropped Guard: Warframe and ally Overguard gain reduced by 75%.

Mission Deviations

Exterminate Escalation

• Cache Crash: Consequences of opening a Supply Cache are active from the start and will intensify if the Supply Cache is opened. Failure to open a Supply Cache doubles the kill count required to finish the mission.
• Sealed Armor: Enemies take 90% less damage from non-weak point hits.

Hellscrub

Hellscrub demands players survive for 10 minutes in the streets of 1999.

• Hold Your Breath: The entire region deals Toxin damage over time, increasing the longer players remain, except in the vicinity of Hell-Scrubbers. Some enemies may drop filters that create additional, static temporary safe zones.
• Pile-On: Techrot enemies attempt to melee attack Hell-Scrubbers, bursting on contact and increasing scrubber contamination by 25%.
• Sporogenesis: Techrot Tumors appear near Hell-Scrubbers, increasing the rate of life support decay with each active tumor.

• Timer Reduction: An unusual Babau periodically appears. If killed, it drops a Scaldra device which destroys a Hell-Scrubber, awarding no life support but reducing the mission timer.

Legacyte Harvest

Capture 3 Legacytes, Tenno. Just like how it can appear in variations of the Bounty, you’ll be unable to extract until all three Legacytes are caught and consumed.

• Mitosis: Two Legacytes spawn each round and twice as many captures are needed for success.
• Growth Hormones: Legacytes are more powerful with each generation but take longer to escape.
• Parallel Evolution: As the Legacyte evolves other enemies present also gain new abilities.

Assassination

• Reinforcements: Reinforcements will arrive during the fight; first Scaldra, then Techrot.
• Toxic Tank: The tank has a Toxin aura, leaves Toxin trails, and its attacks all deal Toxin damage.
• Thermian Plating: Only Thermian RPGs can damage the tank. Reinforcements that carry Thermian RPGs will arrive during the fight.

Defense

Players must defend Temple and their concert for 6 waves.

• Noise Suppression: Drones fly above Flare, spraying them with Efervon gas.
• Miasmite Mash: Enemies drop Miasmites on death that immediately rush Flare.
• Vamp Rock: Flare creates a field that disrupts player abilities while draining energy to boost Flare’s health. Flare slowly loses health when no players are in range.

Risk Variables

Returning Risk Variables:

• Hostile Regeneration: Enemy health slowly regenerates.
• Vampyric Liminus: Slow moving, immortal, Duviri Liminus drain health and energy from allies who get too close.
• Bolstered Belligerents: All enemies have Overguard equal to 50% of their max health.

• Devil’s Bargain: Allies within 4m of slain enemies gain +25% Fire Rate at the cost of -50% Ammo Efficiency.

New Risk Variables:

• Balloonfest: Scaldra Harbinger balloons are more numerous, and attack and move more quickly.

• Competition Streak: Random negative effects from Amir and Aoi’s “Faceoff” mode will be applied throughout the mission.
• Miasmite Swarm: Techrot Miasmites swarm out of the shadows throughout the mission.
• Dense Fog: Efervon gas blankets the level. Enemies may drop filters that can provide a temporary reprieve.
• It’s Alive: Within the underground, hostile overgrowths will attack if players stop moving.
• Techrot Speed Run: All enemies are replaced with Techrot and move much faster.
• Scaldra Speed Run: All enemies are replaced with Scaldra and move much faster.
• Heavy Warfare: Enemies take 90% less damage from non-heavy weapons. Enemies will drop heavy ammo packs and heavy weapon recall time reduced to 5 sec.
• Arcade Automata: Enemy guns launch large, slow moving orbs instead of their usual ordnance. 
• Beyond The Wall: Murmur enemies join ranks with Scaldra and the Techrot.

SEASONAL EXCLUSIVE RISK VARIABLES

• Winter
  • Thick Ice: Arctic Eximus bubbles have 10x their normal durability.
• Spring
  • Jade Spirits: Jade Wisps haunt the region. If approached, they chase down the player responsible and transform into Jade Light beams.
• Summer
  • Excessive Explosives: All supply crates are replaced with explosive barrels.

  • Foggy Fall: A fog limits vision across the mission zone.

Elite Temporal Archimidea

Tempting time itself, Tenno? 

Like Elite Deep Archimedea, Elite Temporal Archimedea rewards courageous Tenno to earn even greater rewards as they take on the game mode at its most brutal state: increased enemy levels and an additional Risk Variable per level.

How to unlock and enable Elite Temporal Archimedea:

First, complete Temporal Archimedea with 25 (or more) Research Points to unlock Elite Temporal Archimedea permanently. After that, you can toggle “Elite Temporal Archimedea” at the top centre of your screen.

 

Research Points & Rewards

Players can earn three rewards and a Peely Pak per Temporal Archimedea run. With Elite Temporal Archimedea, players can earn up to five rewards, 2 Pix Chip packs and 1 Peely Pak.

Just like Deep Archimedea, each Reward Pool only gives one reward upon completion each week, so the only way to increase your rewards is by increasing the Research Points. As a refresher, you can increase your earned Research Points by enabling additional Individual Parameters or Elite Archimedea (or by completing additional missions, if you were unable to make it through all 3 in your first go). 

Research Points

Research Points dictate the number of Reward Pools the player can pull from, depending on the player’s Individual Parameters and Loadout. 

Research Points do not stack, meaning each run has an individualized set of Research Points. Run all the Individual Parameters and win? You’re good for the week. Take off a few Parameters and only earn up to 25 Research Points? You’ll have to return later and amp up your modifiers for further rewards.

• Completing all 3 missions of a Temporal Archimedea awards 3 Research Points, 1 per mission.
• Completing all 3 missions of an Elite Temporal Archimedea awards 10 additional Research Points, for a total of 13.
  • Elite Temporal Archimedea is unlocked after completing a Temporal Archimedea with at least 25 Research Points, which requires players to complete Temporal Archimedea with all Individual Parameters enabled.
• Each Research Modifier adds an additional 1 Research Point per mission, for a maximum of 24 bonus Research Points earned by completing all 3 missions with every Individual Parameter enabled. 
• The maximum number of Research Points possible is 37 (13 from Elite Temporal Archimedea, 24 from Individual Parameters).

Reward Pool

As stated earlier, the maximum amount of points players can earn is 37 Research Points for unlocking rewards. For a closer look at the drop rate of each reward pool and item, please consult the official Warframe drop table!

2x Silver Rewards

The Silver Rewards share their Reward Pool with the Netracells pool, so receiving Silver Packs is equivalent to finishing two Netracell runs!

The Reward Pool for the Silver rewards is:

• Arcane Escapist
• Arcane Hot Shot
• Arcane Universal Fallout
• Elemental Vice
• Omni Forma Blueprint
• Crimson Archon Shard
• Azure Archon Shard
• Amber Archon Shard
• Tauforged Crimson Archon Shard
• Tauforged Azure Archon Shard
• Tauforged Amber Archon Shard

Players will earn two Silver Reward pools at 5 and 10 Research Points! Therefore, the minimum to receive them is:

• 5 Research Points: Finish 3 Temporal Archimedea missions with 1 Individual Parameter on.
• 10 Research Points: Finish 3 Temporal Archimedea missions with 3 Individual Parameters or activate Elite Temporal Archimedea.

1x Peely Pix Pack

Completing up to 15 Research Points in your Temporal Archimedea run rewards a Peely Pix pack, granting you three Peely Pix stickers then and there!

• 15 Research Points: Completing a Temporal Archimedea run with at least 4 Individual Parameters

2x Gold Rewards

Gold rewards share the same pool as Silver rewards, but with an increased chance of earning the rarest rewards, now including Emerald, Topaz and Violet Archon Shards!

• Arcane Escapist
• Arcane Hot Shot
• Arcane Universal Fallout
• Elemental Vice
• Omni Forma Blueprint
• Crimson Archon Shard
• Azure Archon Shard
• Amber Archon Shard
• Tauforged Crimson Archon Shard
• Tauforged Azure Archon Shard
• Tauforged Amber Archon Shard
• Emerald Archon Shard
• Topaz Archon Shard
• Violet Archon Shard
• Tauforged Emerald Archon Shard
• Tauforged Topaz Archon Shard
• Tauforged Violet Archon Shard

Gold rewards are available at 20 and 31 Research Points. The minimum, therefore, looks like:

• 20 Research Points: Complete Temporal Archimedea with at least 6 Individual Parameters or Elite Temporal Archimedea with 2 Individual Parameters.
• 31 Research Points: Complete Elite Temporal Archimedea with at least 6 Individual Parameters Active

2x Pix Chips Pack – Exclusive to Temporal Archimedea

At 28 and 37 Research Points, players can earn Pix Chip packs, granting 6 and 9 Pix Chips, respectively which players can turn into Peely Paks or other rewards in Kaya’s Wares.

• 28 Research Points: Complete Elite Temporal Archimedea with at least 5 Individual Parameters active.
• 37 Research Points: Complete Elite Temporal Archimedea with every single Individual Parameter active.

1x Diamond Rewards

Last, but certainly not least, Diamond rewards are earned when you achieve 34 Research Points!

• 34 Research Points: Complete Elite Temporal Archimedea with 7 Individual Parameters active. Good luck, Tenno!

Diamond Rewards are a guaranteed Tauforged Archon Shard or Arcane:

• Arcane Escapist
• Arcane Hot Shot
• Arcane Universal Fallout
• Omni Forma Blueprint
• Tauforged Crimson Archon Shard
• Tauforged Azure Archon Shard
• Tauforged Amber Archon Shard
• Tauforged Emerald Archon Shard
• Tauforged Topaz Archon Shard
• Tauforged Violet Archon Shard

We’re looking forward to you getting your hands on Temporal Archimedea! Again, please use our Bug and Feedback forums for any and all appropriate comments.

 

NEW ARCADE GAME: OLLIE’S CRASH COURSE

A new arcade machine has been installed at the Höllvania Central Mall! Unleash your Atomicycle through an epic, pinball themed race through space. Outsmart and outrace the mischievous Ollie, voiced by James Conlin!

How To Access Ollie’s Crash Course 

Located in between Amir and Quincy’s stations are a colorful set of arcade bikes used to play Ollie’s Crash Course!

 

Interact with the game station to launch Ollie’s Crash Course and proceed with the next steps: 

• Hit the Start option
• Get ready to ride! 

How To Play & Gameplay Mechanics

Ollie’s Crash Course is a two-lap, multi-route racetrack featuring Atomicycle gameplay. Crash through speed boosters and avoid pinball obstacles to complete the race in as little time as possible, and beat Ollie at his own game! 

 

Controls:

• Accelerate Forward: Move Forward binding
  • Releasing the binding decelerates the speed. 
• Move Left/Right: Move camera/reticle while accelerating
• Bank Left/Right: “Move Left/Right” binding
• Speed Boost: Sprint binding
• Drift: Hold to Crouch binding + bank left/right
  • Atomicycle will accelerate upon exiting a Drift. 
• Bullet Jump: Jump binding while accelerating
• Aim Glide: Hold Aim Weapon binding while mid-air 

Atomicycle Abilities, as well as Mount & Dismount actions are not available within Ollie’s Crash Course. 

Power-Ups

Drive into boosts on the track to help get a better time!

• Hot Sauce: Driving through hot sauce icons across the track will provide a temporary speed boost. Can you handle the heat? 
• Time Bonus: Driving through stopwatch icons across the track will shave 2 seconds off your overall race completion time. Be careful: Ollie has placed the stopwatches in dangerous locations such as sharp bends on the course in order to trick you into falling off the track. 

Obstacles

• Bumpers: These round obstacles will send you flying left or right, depending on your angle of approach. Avoid them if you can! Falling off the track will send you back to your last checkpoint. 
• Slingshot: These triangular corner shapes will bounce you forward. They are not inherently good or bad, and can help or hinder you, depending on your approach and strategy!
• Drop Targets: Crashing into these rectangular blockers add 3 seconds to your overall time. Bullet Jump over these obstacles, or Drift to slide underneath them to keep your race completion time down! 

Falling off the racetrack will reset you at your last checkpoint. If you’re unhappy with a run and wish to restart, you can do so by pausing and selecting “Race Again” in the Options Menu. 

Rewards 

• Completing Ollie’s Crash Course for the first time will reward you with the Ollie Floof and Wheelie To The Stars Poster in your Inbox. 
• Completing Ollie’s Crash Course in 1:30 or less will reward you with the Ollie’s Rocket Livery, an Atomicycle in the style of Ollie’s Crash Course.

MARKET CHANGES & ADDITIONS

Prorated Bundles 

Players can now purchase Market bundles for a discounted price if they already own some of the content within it. This change only applies to bundles that are purchased with Platinum.

 

• Consumables (Forma, Boosters, etc.) and tradeable content (Mods) are not counted in the bundle discount calculation, nor are bundle-exclusive Decorations.
• Not all bundles are eligible for discounts depending on their content. 
  • For example, the 3 Forma bundle is ineligible due to it containing only consumable items.
  • Additionally, decoration-only bundles are not discountable through this system. Our reasoning is that many players purchase decoration-only bundles to get decorations in bulk, and we don’t want to inhibit that behaviour.
• The cost reduction per owned item is in proportion to its value within the bundle.
• Prorated pricing does not apply to Gifted bundles, but we will be exploring that option in a future iteration of this system. 

One Page Two Purchase Options (Experimental) 

With this update, we are experimenting with the new Temple and Gemini Skins Bundles having both their Platinum AND Premium (for real world currency) options on one page instead of two independent pages. As this is experimental, only a portion of players will see this one page two option setup for testing purposes. Selecting either one of the options will work exactly the same as if you were to purchase them on their separate pages. Prorated pricing will still apply to the Platinum Bundles in this one page setup.

EXALTED WEAPON CHANGES & ASH RETOUCH

History lesson time! In Update 23 we introduced moddable Exalted weapons for six Warframes. Exalted Weapons are unique weapons summoned by a Warframe’s ability —  giving them access to an additional separately moddable weapon in the Arsenal. Exalted Weapons benefit both from its own equipped Mods and the Mods on the Warframe itself! 

In addition to Exalted Weapons, certain Warframes Abilities summoned weapons that did not have the Exalted treatment (i.e. be separately moddable in the Arsenal), but received bonuses from other moddable sources: your equipped Melee weapon! These are what we call “Pseudo-Exalted” weapons.

With these changes, we want to officially make “Pseudo-Exalted” weapons into Exalted Weapons! This ensures parity with how players interact with summoned weapons on Warframes. For fans of affected Warframes (Ash, Atlas, Khora, and Gara), your Arsenal may look a little different to accommodate these new Exalted Weapons, but our hope is to keep the end-result relatively unchanged on the battlefield. 

Changes to Current Exalted Weapons:

Before we go over what is happening to “Pseudo-Exalted” weapons, Exalted Weapons as a whole are getting some changes —  let’s dive into the three major adjustments shipping with Techrot Encore: 

1. Arcane slots on Exalted Weapons.
2. Exilus Mod Slot on Primary & Secondary Exalted weapons.
3. Acolyte, Amalgam, and Melee Combo Counter Mods enabled for Exalted Weapons.

Arcane Slots on Exalted Weapons

Ourfirst major change is the addition of Arcane slots to all Exalted weapons! 

*While Garuda’s Talons are part of her passive ability, and therefore not an Exalted Weapon, we are adding an Arcane slot to them nonetheless!

“Pseudo-Exalted” could achieve the effects of certain Arcanes on Exalted weapons by equipping them on corresponding regular weapons. With the changes above, these interactions have been removed.

• Specific Warframes that benefitted from these effects will be receiving a new Exalted Weapon, which is outlined in the “New Exalted Weapons” section below!

Exilus Mod Slot on Primary & Secondary Exalted Weapons

Additionally, we have introduced Exilus slots to all Primary and Secondary Exalted weapons. This now matches functionality with existing melee Exalted weapons.

Acolyte, Amalgam, and Melee Combo Counter Mods Enabled for Exalted Weapons

Next, we are re-enabling mods that were previously disabled for Exalted Weapons. This means Acolyte, Amalgam and Melee Combo Counter mods can now be equipped on all Exalted weapons:

• Primary:
  • Amalgam Serration
  • Argon Scope (Galvanized Scope)
  • Bladed Rounds
  • Catalyzer Link
• Secondary:
  • Amalgam Barrel Diffusion
  • Embedded Catalyzer
  • Hydraulic Crosshairs
  • Pressurized Magazine
  • Sharpened Bullets
  • Targeting Subsystem
• Melee:
  • Amalgam Organ Shatter
  • Blood Rush
  • Body Count
  • Dispatch Overdrive
  • Gladiator Rush
  • Maiming Strike
  • Weeping Wounds

Note: If the Exalted weapon is unable to trigger the requirements for the mod, such as “when aiming”, “for Slide Attack” etc, you will not be able to equip that mod for that specific Exalted weapon. Example: Hydraulic Crosshairs on Mesa’s Regulators.

Other changes to Exalted Weapons include:

• All Exalted Stances now grant Mod Capacity just like regular Stances. Additionally, we have applied the Zenurik Polarity to all Exalted Stances and their corresponding Melee Stance slots, providing a +10 capacity boost. 
• Removed the restriction preventing Set Mods equipped on Exalted weapons from contributing to or benefiting from Set Bonuses.
  • With this change, Set Bonuses are now calculated based on the Active Weapon. This means that if you have three Set Mods equipped on your Warframe, three on your Melee weapon, and none on your Exalted Melee, then you will only benefit from the three Set mods on your Warframe while your Exalted Melee weapon is active.
• Removed the interaction that caused the Combo Counter to reset when using the Xoris, Tenet Livia, or Tenet Grigori alongside an Exalted weapon.
  • This interaction was added in Update 28.1.0 due to it being an overly dominant mechanic that offered infinite Combo on Exalted Weapons when used with Gladiator Mods. Now that Set Mods only apply to the current Active Weapon, this restriction is no longer needed. 
• Excalibur’s Exalted Blade and Baruuk’s Serene Storm abilities can now gain Melee Combo Counter and trigger Tennokai from their Exalted weapon’s wind/energy waves, instead of only from direct hits.
  • For balance reasons, Desert Wind’s Critical Chance has been reduced from 50% to 35% to accommodate the above buff. In testing, Serene Storm was overperforming when used with Blood Rush.
  • Tennokai will only count one hit per wave, regardless if multiple enemies were struck. 
• Fixed Baruuk’s Serene Storm wind waves not benefiting from Condition Overload.
• Increased the projectile speed of Excalibur’s Exalted Blade energy waves. 
• Excalibur’s Slash Dash now scales with Mods equipped on his Exalted Blade instead of Mods equipped on his regular melee weapon.
• Excalibur’s Heavy Attacks with Exalted Blade now release a cross-shaped projectile, dealing Heavy Attack Damage.
  • Also fixed Exalted Blade Heavy Attacks not applying Lifted status. 
• Removed the interaction of Razorflies scaling with Melee Mods equipped on Diwata. This interaction was never intended, alongside only a few mods working with it.
  • To balance this change, we’ve increased Razorflies flight speed, made them invulnerable, and added Damage Vulnerability to their attacks, reinforcing their Support role rather than their damage potential. 
  • We’ve also increased the flight speed of her Razorflies so they should be around 2x faster when chasing her foes.
• Removed the ability to equip Tennokai and Finisher Mods on Diwata since it is unable to use either of those mechanics. 
  • Since the Diwata has no usable Exilus Mods, we’ll be removing its Exilus Slot and refunding any used Exilus Adapters in a future hotfix.
• Increased the Follow Through on Diwata from 70% to 100% to match other Exalted Melee Weapons
• Enabled Harkonar Scope on Cyte-09’s Neutralizer.

New Exalted Weapons:

As mentioned above, we are adding new Exalted Weapons to the following Warframes:

• Atlas
• Gara
• Khora
• Ash (more details in the Ash Changes section!)

If you own a max rank version of any of these four Warframes when the update is released, a max rank version of the corresponding Exalted weapon will be added to your account.

With their new Exalted status, these weapons are now separately Moddable and will benefit from Mods that were unavailable to them previously (namely Condition Overload, Melee Elementalist, and Smite Faction Mods). These new Exalted weapons will receive the same treatment as the changes mentioned above, and should function like all other Exalted Weapons — with a few exceptions we’ll go over below. 

• Note: these new Exalted Weapons will not include an Exilus slot, as the relevant abilities can not perform Heavy Attacks,Tennokai, Parry or Block.

Atlas:

Atlas now wields a Moddable Exalted weapon —  Landslide Fists. 

• Landslide Fists have a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst, along with two Madurai polarities.
• Landslide Fists’ Critical Chance has increased from 5% to 35%, and its Status Chance from 5% to 15%.
• Landslide retains its unique Combo Counter mechanic instead of using traditional Melee Combo —  learn more about this in the Ability Combo Counter Changes section.
• Increased the attack radius of Landslides three-punch Combo to 4m, 6m, 8m, this can also be enhanced with Melee mods like Reach.  
• The Boulder attack from Atlas’ Rumbled Augment now scales with mods equipped on Landslide Fists. 
• Updated Landslide’s description to clarify its effects. Now reads: “Bash enemies with an explosive sliding punch, repeat up to three times for a combo attack. Each hit in the three-punch combo increases the radius of the attack. Energy cost is reduced with each hit of Landslide. Install mods on the Landslide Fists to boost stats.”

Gara:

Gara has received an upgradeable Exalted weapon called Shattered Lash. 

• Shattered Lash has a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst, along with one Madurai and one Naramon polarity. 
• Shattered Lash now has a Critical Chance of 20%, a Critical Multiplier of 2x and a status chance of 30%, while its base damage was reduced from 800 to 400 damage.* 
• Increased Shattered Lash’s range from 10m to 12m, this can also be enhanced with Melee mods like Reach.
• Increased its sweep radius from 0.75m to 1.75m to better target enemies when there is a small elevation difference between Gara and them. This range does not scale with Mods.
• Unlike traditional Exalted Melee Weapons, Shattered Lash uses the same Combo Counter mechanic as Landslide. Learn more about this in the Ability Combo Counter Changes section below. 

*These are balancing adjustments for added strength with new Combo changes. More about this in the Ability Combo Counter Changes section below.

Khora:

Khora’s new Exalted weapon is aptly named Whipclaw!

• Whipclaw comes with a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst, along with one Madurai and one Vazarin polarity.
• Whipclaw’s base damage has been reduced from from 300 to 150 damage.*
• Whipclaws’ attack radius can also be enhanced with Melee mods like Reach.
• Unlike traditional Exalted Melee Weapons, Whipclaw uses the same Combo Counter mechanic as Landslide. Learn more about this in the Ability Combo Counter Changes section below. 

*These are balancing adjustments for added strength with new Combo changes. More about this in the Ability Combo Counter Changes section below.

Ability Combo Counter Changes:

Since Blade Storm, Landslide, Shattered Lash, and Whipclaw are not channelled Exalted Melee Weapons, we have devised a new Ability Combo System specific to these weapons, based off of Altas’ existing Combo mechanic. Recasting their respective Abilities within 5 seconds of the previous cast will grant you 20 combo points which will increase the Combo Multiplier by 1x. 

We’ve also increased the Ability Combo Counter cap from 4x to 12x to align with the Melee Combo Counter — meaning subsequent casts can be buffed up to 12x the damage! By increasing your Ability Combo Counter, your Exalted Weapon will receive increased Damage based on the Ability Combo Multiplier.

Ability Damage now scales 1:1 with this new Ability Combo Counter, instead of 0.25x the Melee Combo Multiplier with “Pseudo-exalted” weapons. As a result, we have reduced the base damage of Shatter Lash and Whipclaw to balance with the ability to scale higher with the new Combo system. These balance adjustments increase the overall damage output when combined with the new Combo changes.

Mods like Blood Rush, Weeping Wounds, and Body Count as well as Focus abilities like Naramon’s Power Spike now work with this new system. 

Ash Changes:

We felt Ash needed a boost to compete with stronger choices. Below are changes that retain the core theme of Ash, but should help to bring him up to speed.

To start, there are no changes to Ash’s Passive ability. 

Ability 1: Shuriken:

• Base damage increased from 500 to 750.
• The number of thrown projectiles increased from 2 to 5 Shurikens, whichrelease in an arc in front of Ash, and home toward enemies.
• Enemies hit with Shuriken now contribute towards the Melee Combo Counter.

Ability 2: Smoke Screen:

• Increased the base duration from 8s to 12s.

We’ve also increased the max base duration of the “Smoke Shadow” Augment from 8s to 12s.

Ability 3: Teleport:

• The ‘Fatal Teleport’ Augment is now a part of Teleport, and automatically performs finisher on cast with a 200% finisher bonus.

The “Fatal Teleport: Augment has now changed to “Quickend Teleport”:

• Executing a target with Teleport increases Parkour Velocity by 30% for 12s. The duration is doubled with a Mercy Kill.
• Finisher kills performed by Ash will extend Smoke Screens duration. Mercy kills will reset Smoke Screen duration.

Ability 4: Blade Storm:

Blade Storm now scales off an Exalted Weapon called Shadow Clones. 

• It comes with a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst, along with two Madurai polarities.
• Shadow Clones is considered a Dagger, allowing you to equip weapon-specific mods like Covert Lethality.
• Shadow Clones has a Critical Chance of 5%, a Critical Multiplier of 1.2x and a Status Chance of 5%
  • Before Blade Storm could neither crit nor apply statuses (outside of the forced slash proc), since finisher damage is already very strong, Blade Storm received a nominal increase for balance.
• Shadow Clones base damage has been reduced from 2000 to 1500 Finisher damage.
• Shadow Clones has an Attack Speed of 1, increasing your Attack Speed increases your Shadow Clones attack animation

Additional Blade Storm changes include:

• Ash can mark targets with an increased radius around the reticle.
• Blade Storm now marks each target only once. Clones will no longer perform three Finisher attacks on enemies; instead, they will execute a single attack, allowing the ability to resolve faster.
  • As a result of the updated attack behavior, each attack will now grant 3 combo points — we also update the Rising Storm Augment to work with the new Ability Combo Counter system instead of the Melee Combo Counter.
• If Ash joins Blade Storm through Teleport, you can now cancel it by jumping.

NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE IMPROVEMENTS

• Reworked the Earth, Venus and Mars Star Chart node paths to help players reach The Second Dream Quest faster! 
  • Cetus, Earth is no longer required to travel through in order to reach the Mars Junction. 
  • The path from Earth to Mercury through Venus has been reduced from 4 nodes to 3 nodes.
    • Kiliken and Aphrodite were moved off the main path while Fossa was added into the main path.
  • Fossa, Venus (Assassination) has been moved into the required path for the Mercury Junction.
  • The path from Earth to Deimos through Mars has been reduced from 6 nodes to 3 nodes.
    • Hellas, Spear, Martialias, and Kadesh are no longer in the path, while Augustus has been added to the path.
  • The following Quest changes have also been made with the above goal in mind!
    • Moved The Archwing Quest Junction requirement from Mars Junction to Saturn Junction. 
    • Removed Ceres and Europa Junctions from the Natah Quest requirements. 
    • Saya’s Vigil Quest has been changed from a Main Quest to a Side Quest since players no longer need to travel through Cetus to reach Mars Junction. 
• Removed the requirement of owning a Necramech in order to start The New War Quest. Now, players who do not have their own will be lent a Voidrig Necramech for the duration of the Quest. 
  • Previously, players would need to divert their attention away from Quests in order to farm and craft a Necramech. So we removed this requirement as it was disruptive to main story questline progression. Players can still work towards their own Necramech before or after The New War Quest at their discretion. 
• Changed the stats of early Junction bosses to make them more difficult.
  • Earth to Mars Junction boss (Loki) has had its base health doubled. 
  • Venus to Mercury Junction boss (Rhino) has had its armor increased, ranged damage increased, melee damage increased, and will be more accurate when firing.
  • Mars to Phobos Junction boss (Mag) now fires Kunai faster.
  • Mars to Ceres Junction boss (Trinity) base health has been increased.
• Reduced Rhino’s crafting time from 72 hours to 24 hours.
  • Since Rhino is one of the first Warframes players can earn in the Star Chart, he is getting a similar treatment to Koumei —  a reduced crafting time so that new players can familiarize themselves with the Foundry and enjoy their newly earned Warframe faster.
• The Codex panel will now show an image of the next Quest available to the player. 
  • If there are no Quests remaining, it will default to Leverian Prex Cards.  
• Added an on-hover tooltip for Capacity Sources in the Upgrade screen as a way to teach players about Capacity and ways to increase it. 

 

• Additionally, a pop-up will now appear when attempting to equip a Mod above the item’s capacity. Depending on their level of investment with said item, this pop-up will explain Aura Mod, Stance Mod, Orokin Catalysts/Reactors, Ranks and Forma as a means to get the most out of your item’s Mod Capacity.  

 

• Increased base Capacity on Unranked items from 0 to 15. 
  • This ensures that early-game Tenno are able to Mod their equipment without having ranked it up yet. 
  • Capacity earned from Mastery Rank is now distributed every 2 Mastery Ranks, and is added to the new base Capacity.
    • Example: an MR 4 player will now have 17 Capacity on a Rank 0 item (15 from base Capacity, and +2 from Mastery Rank). 
• Added an icon in your Arsenal that directs players to new items, as a way of teaching players where to find their new gear. 

 

• Awakening Quest Changes: 
  • When acquiring the Bo or Skana during Awakening, it will now come with a Stance Mod pre-installed. This will also apply when purchasing these weapons from the Market or claiming them from your Foundry.
    • Bo and MK1-Bo: Flailing Branch
    • Skana: Swooping Falcon
    • Players who already own the Bo, MK1-Bo, and Skana will receive the associated unranked Stance Mod in their inventories upon login after downloading Techrot Encore. This also applies to those who earned Affinity on those weapons and later sold them (regardless of whether they were Mastered or not).
  • Improved the lighting in the Awakening Quest.

 

• Converted GI volume lighting and volumetric fog. 
• Remade the color palette and applied new color grading to the Quest and its cinematics. 
• Relit each level with GI volumes. 
• Relit all the cutscenes, and the Warframe and Quest dioramas for a seamless transition into the Awakening Quest. 
• Made several updates and fixes to the environment throughout the Awakening Quest (material improvements/PBR, added destructible plants, and more!) 
• Grineer Forest nodes now use the day/night Plains of Eidolon/Cetus cycle. In other words, when it is day in the Plains, it is now day in the Grineer Forest. 
  • Previously, these nodes had their own day/night cycle, which would change every 4 hours. This caused confusion with the Plains also being on earth but having a different cycle, especially for new players playing through Quests like The Silver Grove, which requires you to access plants that only appear in the day/night. 
  • Now, day in these nodes will last 100 minutes and night will last 50 minutes and rotate in line with the Plains of Eidolon.
  • Reworded the Time of Day indicator in the Star Chart for Plains of Eidolon to make it clearer if it’s Day or Night.
    • Now reads: “[Current Time of Day] Ends in [Time]”
    • This change also applies to the on-hover node description for the Cambion Drift and Orb Vallis. 
• Updated Railjack component crafting costs in The Rising Tide Quest to remove components that are not easily found on the main path through the Star Chart:
  • Railjack Cephalon Blueprint:
    • Removed Orokin Cell
  • Railjack Fuselage:
    • Removed Cubic Diodes
  • Railjack Propulsion Systems:
    • Removed Carbides
  • Railjack Port Nacelle:
    • Removed Carbides
  • Railjack Tail Section:
    • Removed Carbides
    • Removed Argon Crystal
    • Added 250 Cryotic
  • Railjack Engine Cowling:
    • Removed Cubic Diodes 
• Players will no longer be able to load into Junction missions until they’ve completed the full list of tasks to prevent confusion. 

FACEOFF CHANGES

Faceoff Balance Changes 

Come-backs are coming back, Tenno! We’re implementing a few balance changes to create a fairer, less defeating experience in Faceoff.

Boosts and Hindrances will now spawn more (or less) frequently depending on the state of the match. This is to help serve as both an escalation and catch-up mechanic.

• The losing team, scaled by the difference between them and the winning team, will see more Boosts/Hindrances spawn near them.
  • By contrast, the winning team will see fewer pick-ups spawn near them.

New Boosts & Hindrances

• Teleport Taxi: Teleports you and nearby squad members to the objective.
• Waypoint Overload: Sow confusion with 5 randomly placed objective markers for the opposing squad.

General Faceoff Changes & Fixes

• Introducing: Xtra Cheese! Xtra Cheese, periodically, will reward 2x Vosfor and 2x Conclave Standing in Faceoff: Squad VS. Squad!
  • A timer in the NavNow screen will indicate when Xtra Cheese will activate and when it is active when hovering over the Squad VS. Squad node. An icon will also appear on the node itself to let you know its live! 

 

• The losing team is now awarded partial Conclave standing based on the percentage of the final objective being complete.
• If a player leaves too many Squad VS Squad Matches, they’ll have to play against Squad VS AI to re-unlock VS Player again.
• Bolstered Badguys gives 75% less Overguard to Techrot Babaus.
• Ally Specters will activate Boosts and Hindrances on their own.
  • Specters will activate pick-ups on both a timer and at random.
    • This does not consume pick-ups available for the player.
  • Specters will avoid certain Boosts that could potentially be frustrating for the players.
  • Losing teams will see Specters more frequently activate pickups.
• Improvements towards Host Migration issues.
• Fixed the player’s UI vanishing when swapping from Player vs. Player to Player vs. AI.
• Added a new prompt to signify if a player has bestowed a Boost or inflicted a Hindrance.
• Added a new prompt to signify if a player’s Boosts or Hindrance slot is full. 
• Added a new prompt to indicate which player on your team has activated certain Boosts/Hindrances.
• Added a new prompt to remind the player to bind the Boost/Hindrance activate button.UI improvements towards transmissions from Aoi or Amir and certain messages.
• Made improvements to matchmaking to lower wait times.

ADDITIONS

Mod Quick Select Tool

A Quick Select tool has been added to the Mod Menu that allows players to mass select unranked Mods in their inventory based on the parameters set. In other words, your new favorite duplicate Mod cleanup tool! 

How to use Quick Select: 

1. Select the Quick Select button in the bottom right of the Mod Menu.
2. Adjust the Quick Select settings to the desired parameters:
3. Mod Rarity: Select the mod rarity of the mods you’d like to mass select:
   1. Common
   2. Uncommon or Below
   3. Rare or Below  
4. Keep Extra Unranked Copies: Fill in the field with the number of unranked copies you’d like to keep in your inventory that match the mod rarity perimeter you have set. 
5. Select Mods to Skip: Manually select the Mods (max of 10) you’d like to keep that match the mod rarity perimeter you have set.
   1. You can edit the list of selected mods as many times as needed by selecting the Edit Skip Mods button. 
6. Hit the Select X Mods button
   1. The total number of mods selected based on the above perimeters will be shown here. 
   2. After doing so, you’ll be able to see which mods in your list have been selected and how many. From here you can decide what you’d like to do next with the mods, whether that’s selling them for Credits or Dissolving them for Endo. 
7. Type “Fusion” to confirm your Sell or Dissolve decision.
   1. This confirmation dialogue only appears if you are Selling/Dissolving Mods selected via the “Quick Select” screen. 

There are protections enabled to prevent any mishaps with selecting Mods you’d really not want to accidentally part with. The Quick Select tool will never select Ranked, Legendary, and Riven Mods and it will always ensure that you have at least 1 copy of any given Mod in your inventory. 

General Additions: 

• The Legendary 5 Mastery Rank Test is now available to those eligible! This test has a focus on hacking, but Ciphers are disabled. A true test of skill, the manual hack!
• Techrot Encore adds 18 new tiles for the Höllvania tileset! From new areas nestled in the underground up to streets you’ve never been down before, there are plenty of new corners to explore. 
• Added 153 new Höllvania themed Dojo Decorations! These range from traffic cones, neon signs, bus stops and so much more to bring a little bit of Höllvania home. 
  • The glass windows, Scaldra tubes and electrical towers shown on Devstream 184 will be coming in a future update. Apologies Tenno, but we hope you enjoy all of the decorations in this update! 

 

• Added a custom Saryn Molt effect for Gemini Skins. 
  • The default subsummable Molt effect was not working great on the Gemini Skins, so we gave it a totally new look when used with them! 

 

• Added Cloaked Appearance options in the Accessibility settings. This modifies how yourself and Allies appear while cloaked. This does not affect enemy perception, or the appearance of cloaked foes. 
  • You can choose from the following options:
    • Standard
    • Semi-Cloak 
    • Glow-Cloak 
  • Warframes with cloaking Abilities (ex: Ivara) originally had these options available as Auxiliary attachments, which have now been removed. Since players can receive Invisibility from a variety of sources, we’ve decoupled this setting from the individual Auxiliary attachments and moved this to Accessibility settings to ensure it applies to all sources of Cloaking —  regardless of the Warframe used.  
• Added a tooltip for Dual Toxocyst, Lesion, and Violet Archon Shards indicating that the added element will combine with Mods.
• Added a pop-up when gifting TennoGen items to a Cross Platform Save account to indicate that it can only be used on eligible Console or Mobile platforms. 
  • If a player has a Cross Platform Save account usable on both PC and a Console/Mobile platform, they can be gifted TennoGen from Console players, but cannot use it on PC due to our TennoGen Cross Platform Save policy. This wasn’t clear when Gifting them a TennoGen item, so this pop-up should make this restriction clear before the Gifter moves forward with the purchase. 
  • Also added a message at the bottom of the Gift Inbox Message to indicate possible platform restrictions, so that these restrictions are also clear to the recipient. 
    • Below the item itself, the message now reads “Your TennoGen gift is now available while playing on Consoles or Mobile!”.
• Added a coffee mug decoration on the desk of Mynki’s Tribute in the Höllvania Central Mall.
  • Many of the creations from our beloved Art Director, Michael “Mynki” Brennan, were fueled by a cup of coffee. Thank you for continuing to celebrate his legacy with us, and may your coffees always be warm.<3 
• Added a toggle to hide equipped Mods while trading with another player.
• Added Scaldra and Techrot Kills to Player Profile Combat Stats. 
• Added a SpecialEffect Glyph in honor of all their wonderful contributions to the gaming community and to you Tenno for raising money to support their work! 
  • Use the code “SPECIALEFFECT” in the in-game Market or at warframe.com/promocode to claim. 

 

• Added a fancy FX to Mod slots when a Polarization has occurred. 
• Added Community Customizations for Styanax, Ember, Lavos, Ash, Mesa, and Nekros from Prime Time 419 and 428.

CHANGES 

Top Changes

• Atomicycle customizations will now appear in missions outside of Höllvania.  
  • Previously, customizations were causing performance issues and for that reason only the default Atomicycle could be used in these missions. As we’ve resolved those issues, your custom Atomicycle will now appear when summoning it outside of Höllvania!  
• Random Squads will now be disbanded after missions, and only pre-made squads will remain intact after mission completion. 
  • This’ll save those public matchmaking Tenno a couple of extra steps to leave a random squad before hopping into the next mission.
  • If you wish to continue with the players from public squads , you can always find them in your Recent Players list in the Friends screen. Reinvite them into your squad to continue lifting together without disbandment.  
  • This does not apply to Sorties and Archon Hunts so that squads can remain together for all 3 missions.
• Reduced the number of Defense waves in a Rotation from 5 to 3 across all Defense mission types.
  • This applies to everything, including Quest missions, Void Fissures, etc. with the exception of the following special 10 wave Defense missions which have been reduced to 6:
    • Grendel Chassis Locator (Icefields of Riddah node)  
    • Faction Syndicate Defense missions 
    • Baro Void-Signal (Void Raider node) 
    • Nightmare Mode Defense missions 
    • Archon Hunt Defense missions 
    • Alerts
  • Increased enemy spawns and added Eximus units to defeat at the end of the mission.
• Increased Riven Slot cap by 30 —  it is now 180 for players below MR 30, and 210 for those MR 30 and above.
• Aura Forma are now compatible for all Mod slots, instead of just Aura. We’ve renamed this Forma to be called Omni Forma to reflect this change.
  • Installing an Omni Forma will apply a Universal Polarity to the selected Mod Slot, which will halve the capacity of any Mod equipped in it (excluding Umbra Polarities). 
  • Enabled the ability to move the Polarity of the Aura Slot using the “Swap Polarities” action. This allows players who installed Aura Forma in this slot to make use of this Universal Polarity elsewhere, should they wish. 
  • With Aura Forma being reworked to become Omni Forma, a significantly more useful item than its predecessor, we have rebalanced the 1999 Calendar reward pool as follows:
    • Changed reward to Omni Forma Blueprint.
    • Increased drop pool rarity from Common to Rare.
• The Duviri Paradox and The Hex Quests are now replayable! 
  • To replay, go to your Codex > Quest > The Duviri Paradox/The Hex > Select the “Replay Quest” button at the bottom of the screen. 
    • Note for The Hex Quest: Replaying from the Codex will have you playing through to the first ending. To access the alternate ending, go to your Backroom and interact with Kalymos. Keep in mind that like the first time you played through The Hex Quest and the alternate ending, you will not be able to participate in other Warframe content until you complete it. 
  • Whatever options you chose in the first playthrough of these Quests will remain intact during the replays.
• The green hue of the mosaic material on Styanax Tonatiuh Helmet and Skin and Huitzilin Syandana can now be customized using the Emissive color channel.
  • Previously, this green hue would linger on the mosaic when changing the Primary color, which affected the accuracy of the selected color. Now, as you can see in the screenshot above, Emissive color will now override the green hue on the mosaic. The “after” screenshot also showcases the PBR and material updates we’ve made in this update to add more depth to materials across the game! 
  • With this change you may have to revisit your Styanax fashion to adjust to your liking! 
• Converted many legacy assets/materials to use PBR and added roughness textures. These materials will now more realistically interact with lighting sources across the game. This also applies to skins, so you may want to adjust your fashion to your liking with these new improvements!
• Reduced the duration of Overguard provided by Ancient Protectors from 20s to 15s. This Overguard will now also decay 3s after the Ancient has died, if the remaining duration is longer than 3s.
  • Also prevented all Ancients from receiving Overguard from Ancient Protectors (including the Ancient Protector themselves).
  • Enemies with innate Overguard can no longer receive Overguard from the Ancient Protector’s ability.
  • Related fixes:
    • Fixed staggers and other animation-breaking states not preventing the Overguard ability from being cast.
    • Fixed Ancient Protectors being able to cast their Overguard ability while in Grendel’s stomach.
• Players will now parry enemy Status Effects when parrying an enemy Melee Attack.
  • This fixes Scaldra Flayers Gas Status Effect damaging players through Melee parries, turning a bug into a feature. Woo!
• Updated Höllvania Bounty UI to indicate if/when Chemistry is available to earn with the Protoframe assigned to it. There are now two markers that will appear to better communicate Chem opportunities: 
  • “Chemistry Available” – Indicating that you can earn Chemistry with the Protoframe by completing the Bounty. 

 

• “Chemistry resets in Xh Xm” – Indicating that you have reached your daily maximum of Chemistry earned and when it’ll be reset. 
  • As a reminder, you can gain Chemistry once per day per Hex member via Bounties, resetting at 0:00 UTC daily. 
• Changed the Raksa Kubrow’s Protect mod to restore it and your Warframe’s shields by 30% of its maximum shields and add its shield regeneration rate to your Warframe for 3 seconds. 
  • Previously, the mod’s description was inaccurate to its real effect. It claimed to restore 300 shields but was actually restoring 300 plus your Warframe’s current shields. So if you had 300/1000 shields, Raksa would restore 600 shields, for a total of 900/1000. In instances where your shields were close to max, the majority of the shield restore ended up being wasted once the cap was hit. So we made the above changes to be more useful and lean more into Raksa’s shield focus. 
• Improved enemy density in Netracells to keep spawn-rates high during the “Reduce Security Level” section.
• Disabled Air Support charges in The Fragmented One and H-09 Apex’s Steel Path fights. 
  • These missions are intended to really challenge players and their loadouts. Calling in aid via Air Support could trivialize these fights (e.g. Kahl Beacon from Skaut drawing all aggro onto Kahl). 
• The Protoframe you’re dating will now lounge in different areas of your Backroom instead of standing in the same corner on the upper floor. 
• Players must now complete the Bounty challenge in H-09 Efervon Tank Assassination Bounty before moving to the fight. This fixes a soft-lock issue occurring when a player triggered the fight before the squad had completed the Bounty, as well as players not being able to properly extract after the fight since the bounty conditions were not met. 
  • A “Complete the Bounty to proceed” pop-up will now occur when approaching the arena to notify players that they need to finish the Bounty challenge to proceed.
• Increased the distance and angle at which players can open Lockers. This should make opening them much easier!
• Multiple Hell-Scrubbers can now be infected at one time in Hell-Scrubber missions. 
• The Venus Corpus Outpost tileset has received an updated Skybox!

 

• This new Skybox features overall improved graphics and increased visual interest via the addition of Corpus architecture, dynamic landscape elements, and energy VFX.
• We’ve also added multiple cloud layers and added a new sky that better fits the mood of this planet. 
• Enemies outside the ring around a purged Exolizer will now be absorbed by the Exolizer provided you kill them when you’re within the ring.
  • This was a change we applied to Netracells and a specific Cambion Drift Bounty, so we’re adding it here too for consistency. 
• Scaldra units can now use terminals in Scaldra Exterminate and Scaldra Hell-Scrub missions to summon a paratrooper squadron, including a guaranteed Eximus enemy that drops a Thermian RPG.Techrot Cache improvements: 
  • Increased Techrot Cache and Biocode spawns in larger tiles in Höllvania missions (most notably Exterminate).
  • Improved spawning logic to prevent Techrot Caches from spawning in inaccessible locations. 
  • Increase the Biocode’s SFX radius and reworked the sample to make it easier to find by listening for it.

• Kuva Liches and Sisters of Parvos will no longer spawn close to/on top of the Extraction area.

Captura Quality Of Life Changes 

Techrot Encore brings a minor update to a few Captura features to provide convenience and accessibility! Our favorite picture-snapping niche is getting many much-desired tweaks between various UI, lighting, and save-setting options!

General Captura Changes: 

• Added the ability to save and load all your current Captura settings into one save file.
  • You can do this by opening the Captura menu with your given binding and scrolling towards the bottom and selecting “Save Current Settings.”
• Scene lighting and lighting rotation on Advanced Cameras (under Advanced Camera Controls) now interpolate between each other while they’re playing out.
  • This means saved Advanced Cameras with different scene lighting sliders will properly fade and transition said lighting settings when moving between each other.
• Added toggles to Show Players, Show Companions, and Show Weapons.
  • Gone are the days of needing to equip a Synthesis Scanner to remove your equipped weapons, or having to change loadouts to avoid your eager Kubrow from getting in your shot! 
• Moved the Lighting settings above the Text settings.
• Fixed camera rotation not previewing properly when the snap function was enabled.

Captura UI Changes: 

• Players can hide all Captura Menus with their default “Close” binding, instead of individually closing each menu.
• The Advance Time input now functions on all Captura screens.
• The Game Speed function is now a slider, moving from 0x to 5x speed
• Players can now disable Depth of Field, Grain, Bloom, and UI in Screenshots directly from the Captura menu, instead of having to go to the video settings menu. Any changed settings will revert once you leave Captura!
• Added a Color Correction toggle to enable Captura filters.
  • Players can preview filters by hovering over them with their cursor/pointer when enabled!

Captura Text Changes: 

• Added a Text Glow toggle to allow the player to decouple text from Captura lighting environments. 
• Added three additional fonts to Captura text functionality:
  • Ailerons
  • Flareserif
  • Roboto
• Re-designed Text controls for easier text manipulation
  • Pressing Reposition Text allows players to move and rotate text from the camera’s perspective instead of needing to keep clicking Reposition Text to move it. 

Audio Options Changes

We have simplified the Audio Options to make them clearer for new players and have also added Advanced Options for players to have greater control over their audio experience. 

You can now hover over any of the sound mixers and open their ADVANCED MIXER settings.

 

• Dialog Volume Advanced Options: 
  • Narrative Dialog Volume: Adjust the volume of transmission, vendor, ambient and cinematic character dialog. 
  • Enemy Dialog Volume: Adjust the volume of enemy gameplay dialog. 
  • Companion Dialog Volume: Adjust the volume of Companion and Railjack crew gameplay dialog. 
  • Gemini Skin Dialog Volume: Adjust the volume of personal and ally Gemini Skin dialog.  
    • We’ve also added subtitles to all Gemini Skin dialogues! 
  • Nora Night Dialog Volume: Adjust the volume of Nora Night transmission dialog. 
  • Ordis Dialog Volume: Adjust the volume of Ordis’ transmission dialog.
• Sound Effects Volume Advanced Options: 
  • Personal Weapons Volume: Adjust the volume of your weapon sound effects.
  • Personal Abilities Volume: Adjust the volume of your Warframe ability sound effects.
  • Personal Vehicles Volume: Adjust the Volume of your vehicle sound effects. 
  • Enemy & Ally Combat Volume: Adjust the volume of enemy/ally weapon, ability and explosion sound effects.
  • Ambience Volume: Adjust the volume of ambient sound effects. 
• Music Volume Advanced Options:
  • Personal Mandachord Volume: Adjust the volume of your Mandachord music. 
  • Ally Mandachord Volume: Adjust the volume of ally Mandachord music. 
  • Personal Shawzin Volume: Adjust the volume of your Shawzin music. 
  • Captura Music Volume: Adjust the volume of Captura background music. 

Inventory Slot Capacity Changes

We have added a cap of 999 each on the number of inventory slots or finished items you can purchase from the Market.

A few of you are so good at collecting things that the Database hamsters are starting to express concern, and we’ve decided to take action sooner rather than later. There are limits on how much Data you can put in before it stops being based and instead starts spilling everywhere in the server room.  

This is only a soft cap for your account, as you will still be able to exceed this by purchasing content like Prime Access and Supporter Packs, where the items specifically come with inventory slots to contain them. Items from Alerts, Quests, and Twitch/Steam Drop campaigns will also ignore the soft cap.

The new cap will apply to each of these categories separately:

• Warframes
• Weapons
• Companions and their equipment
• Vehicles
• Necramechs
• Operator Amps
• Railjack components and armaments

This does not affect the already existing limit of 210 slots for Riven Mods, or the already existing limit of 33 slots for Crew Members.

We want to stress that only a few players are anywhere near this limit, and we believe the cap is high enough that there’s still plenty of room to grow. This is simply a precaution to reduce the likelihood of player accounts getting so large that it creates problems like not being able to login or update your account anymore.

If you run into any issues related to the Slot Capacity, our Support Team is here to assist! Please create a ticket if you require help.

Warframe – Ver. 38.0.12

• Release date: February 20th/21st 2025
• Patch notes:

Changes:

• Improved Void Tear spawn rates in Excavation Void Fissure missions if there is only one dig site active. 
  • Previously, Void Tears (and the Reactant dropped from the enemies they spawned) would increase per number of dig sites. Since only 200 Cryotic (2 complete Digs) is required to open a Relic, this was counterintuitive as Tenno would prioritize one dig site at a time to ensure they received enough Reactant.
  • Now, this Void Tear spawn rate increase applies when there is one dig site active, and we’ve increased the bonus to ensure there are Corrupted foes aplenty. 
• Reduced the speed of the Cedo Prime glaive from 105 m/s down to 75 m/s.
  • We wanted to increase the flight speed of Cedo Prime’s alt fire, enabling it to hit more enemies and return to the gun faster so that it could be fired more often. This made the auto-homing feature have a harder time steering to hit enemies, and despite giving it a sharper turning radius to compensate, it still tended to sometimes bounce out of large groups of enemies.
  • The base Cedo glaive has a projectile speed of 60 m/s. Cedo Prime glaive had a speed of 105 m/s, and this hotfix brings it down to 75 m/s, hopefully striking a balance between the intention of more bounces quickly, and the ability to bounce multiple times the way a Cedo glaive is known to do!
• Reduced the Ducat selling price of Nidus Prime Neuroptics to 65 as it will be available at an uncommon rarity with his upcoming Prime Resurgence Relics. Stay tuned for when you can expect that rotation!

Fixes:

• Fixed cases of Clients seeing black screens and/or crashing after the Host extracts in Zariman Ten Zero missions.
• Fixed items that obstruct player view (ex: large shoulder pieces, etc.) not fading out when aiming down sights in 1999 missions.
• Fixed Acolytes not spawning in Steel Path missions started from the Höllvania Central Mall in 1999.
  • Also fixed Acolytes not spawning in Steel Path bounties on the Zariman Ten-Zero.
• Fixed no longer being able use Transference to your Operator/Drifter for the rest of the mission if you die as Operator/Drifter while you’re mid-Transference to your Warframe.
• Fixed damage absorbed from Chaos’d enemies not affecting the radius of Nyx’s Absorb explosion.
• Fixed Cedo and Cedo Prime’s signature trait not applying to Lavos Prime.
• Fixed Cedo and Cedo Prime’s signature trait converting 100% of secondary ammo instead of the intended 50%.
• Fixed a small speck of untintable gold on Lavos Prime.
• Fixed new Host being stuck on their Atomicycle if a host migration occurred at a precise moment when loading into a 1999 mission from the Höllvania Central Mall.
• Fixed an extra player being able to join a full session if Stalker had invaded the mission.
• Fixed inconsistent reload times for Shotguns with the Hecton Shotgun Skin equipped.
  • Known Issue: the Zobov Shotgun Skin is still affected by this issue!
• Fixed the Necra Prime Drifter Suit clipping into the back of the neck.
• Fixed pop-up that appears when attempting to start The New War Quest without a Necramech incorrectly directing players to Loid instead of Father in the Necralisk.
• Fixed the Warframe: 1999 On-lyne Poster having incorrect aspect ratio.
• Fixed a script error if the Host and Client in a squad extract to separate locations from a 1999 mission, and the Client starts a new mission via their Orbiter Pom-2. 
  • Now Clients will extract to the Mall if the Host started the mission from Höllvania  Central Mall.

• Additional notes: none.

Warframe – Ver. 38.0.11

• Release date: February 14th/15th 2025
• Patch notes:

Changes:

• Techrot Cache and Melica Cache waypoints are now map-wide for Bounties that require players to open them as an objective.
  • We’ve seen quite a few players comment on being unable to find Techrot Caches for these Bounties, especially in endless missions. This map-wide waypoint should help Tenno find them easier. Since Melica Caches are a similar mechanic, we gave them the same treatment!
• Made the following improvements to the Scavenge Precept:
  • Companions will no longer idle in front of lockers before attempting to Scavenge. 
  • Added SFX that indicates whether they successfully opened a locker or not. Kubrows will now bark happily on a success, and whine if they fail.
  • Fixed cases of the Scavenge animation not lining up with the locker in the Kuva Fortress and Grineer Sealab Tilesets.
• Added a new Meso P15 Relic to address Gauss Prime Chassis and Gunsen Prime Handle accidentally being vaulted.
• Reduced Gauss Prime Blueprint’s Ducat value from 45 to 25 since it is available as a common drop from the Axi Z2 Relic.

Fixes:

• Fixed incomplete 1999 Calendar Tasks resetting on the first attempt if players returned to Höllvania Central Mall from their mission.
• Fixed cases of Venari not acting on commands after spending some time in a Höllvania mission.
• Fixed cutscenes not playing when ranking up in the Cavia Syndicate.

• Fixed animation popping on Lavos Prime’s snakes when cycling through idle animations.
• Fixed Lavos Prime not appearing in Teshin’s Cave in Duviri.
• Fixed offset issues with the Nimandi Prime Armor set (notably on Dante).
• Fixed various armor offset issues on the Rhino Heirloom Skin.
• Fixed the Despot Syandana clipping into the Rhino Heirloom Skin’s hip.
• Fixed a hitch when previewing the Rhino Deathwatch Skin in the Arsenal.
• Fixed being able to send Protoframes 2 gifts a day if one of those gifts was sent before or during a conversation in KIM.
  • Also fixed Protoframes appearing to go offline after sending a gift, even if they had a conversation available.
• Fixed the Dual Zoren Prime being available in Conclave.
• Fixed a script error that could occur when changing loadouts while in the Navigation menu, resulting in the loadout selector becoming unresponsive.

• Additional notes: none.

Warframe – Ver. 38.0.10 (Lavos Prime Access)

• Release date: February 12th/13th 2025
• Patch notes:

Lavos Prime Access

Lavos Prime
Some Warframes were Prime from the start. Others ascended. Lavos, the master of transmutation, bowed to no one as he forged his own path to valor.

Arterial Tube Auxiliary Attachment:
Lavos Prime comes with the option to equip or unequip his Lavos Prime Arterial Tubes via Auxiliary Attachments. 

Cedo Prime
A golden shotgun, forged for those who deliver judgment.

Dual Zoren Prime
Axes worthy of an executioner, refined to Orokin perfection.

Lavos Prime Glyphs
Glyphs depicting Lavos Prime on a dark and bright background. 

 

Lavos Prime Accessories

Nimandi Prime Armor
Command fear and respect as you safeguard what matters most, clad in this indomitable Orokin armor.

Vitam Prime Syandana
Transmute the chaos of battle into golden triumph.

Transmutation Probe Prime
Bring a touch of Lavos Prime’s transformative power to the Orbiter with this decorative replica. 
 

Items Moved To Prime Vault:
Now that Lavos Prime Access is available, the following items have been added to the Prime Vault for a future Prime Resurgence rotation. If you have Relics that contain these items they will remain in your Inventory.

• Hildryn Prime
• Larkspur Prime

Riven Disposition Changes:
As with each round of Prime Access come updated Riven Disposition numbers – check the full details here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1438586-february-2025-riven-dispositions/

 

Changes:

• Removed the ability to roll the Magazine Capacity stat for Grimoire Rivens. 
• Since the Grimoire does not have a Magazine Capacity, this was a useless stat to roll — or a very lucky one to get a negative for. Existing Grimoire Rivens are untouched by this change.
   

Fixes:

• Fixed the Techrot faction buff unintentionally being applied to the second phase of the H-09 Efervon Tank fight.
• Fixed being unable to publicly match make into Free Roam Sorties on the Plains of Eidolon.

• Fixes towards Acrithis offering duplicate wares.
• Fixed Nova’s Wormhole being able to bypass Scaldra blockades in H-09 Efervon Tank Assassination missions.
• Fixed performance issues caused by the Zobov Shotgun Skin’s reload when used by Cyte-09.

• Fixed various armor offset issues for Rhino Heirloom Skin.
• Fixed various offset issues for the Techrot Armor on Warframes and Drifters.
• Fixed Infested Web Dojo Decorations being pink.
• Fixed “Copy Suit Colors” option in the Drifter/Operator Attachments menu opening the Color Palette window if your Drifter/Operator had an Ephemera equipped.
• Fixed Caliber Chicks 2 leaderboards not updating if your current score is lower than your all time high score.
• Fixed missing SFX from the waterfall in the Kronia Relay.
• Fixed various Excalibur helmets and the Ash Inchneumon Helmet not appearing in Conclave missions.

• Additional notes: none.
• Source: Digital Extremes

Warframe – Ver. 38.0.9

• Release date: February 7th/8th 2025
• Patch notes:

Changes:

• Rhino’s Iron Skin once again uses the Iron Skin VFX of his equipped skin, provided there is no Iron Skin Override equipped. 
  • With the Iron Skin Overrides that shipped yesterday, having “None” or a non-Iron Skin Override auxiliary equipped (Deathwatch Wings, etc) resulted in Rhino using the Default Iron Skin VFX regardless of what skin was used. 
• Improved materials on the Boltor Kubrow Armor.

Fixes:

• Fixed the “Ex-Eximus” 1999 Calendar task appearing to reset once completed.
  • This was just a UI bug, but a persistent one at that!
• Fixed Wood Floor tint also applying to the Curtains in the Backroom.
• Fixed cases of Murex gates retaining collision after being unlocked in Teshin’s sequence during The New War quest.
• Fixed the opening cinematic of The New War Quest being set to the wrong time of day.

• File size: 994MB
• Patch notes:

Nintendo Switch Specific Fixes:

• Fixed various freezing/crashing issues (notably summoning K-Drive in Orb Vallis and Veso mission in The New War Quest) on Nintendo Switch. Thank you for your understanding and patience while we worked on a cert build to resolve these issues! 
• Fixed rare crashes when playing Höllvania missions on Nintendo Switch. 
• Fixes towards a crash related to Xaku. 
• Fixed waypointing issues in Grineer and Lua Spy Vaults. 
• Fixed the “Resend Verification Email” option in settings claiming the email was re-sent but one was never received.

RHINO HEIRLOOM 

Immortalize the indestructible. Celebrate your favorite ironclad Warframe — Rhino — with a new commemorative Heirloom Collection.

Just like with Ember Heirloom, there are two slightly different Rhino Heirloom Collections you can purchase in one of two ways: using either Platinum or real-world currency. Players can also purchase any item from the Rhino Heirloom Collection individually for Platinum via the in-game Market.

 

Rhino Heirloom Skin
Heirloom skins signify the passage of time and the dedication of the Tenno. Rhino arises in might, his legacy girded with living iron.

 

Rhino Heirloom Signa
Horns of primordial power crown Rhino with the majesty of the beast.

 

Rhino Heirloom Glyph
A glyph that celebrates Rhino’s legacy.

Rhino Heirloom Sigil
A sigil that celebrates Rhino’s legacy.

Rhino Heirloom Color Palette
A selection of vibrant colors honoring Rhino’s legacy.

Rhino Heirloom Prex
A legacy girded with living iron.

Iron Skin Overrides:

• Rhino players can now apply Iron Skin Overrides via their Auxiliary Attachments. Since many of Rhino’s skins also come with unique Iron Skin VFX, Tenno who have those cosmetics will also gain access to their Overrides: 
  • Invisible Iron Skin Override (available to all Rhino players)
    • With this Override equipped, the Iron Skin VFX will appear briefly upon casting and then disappear. 
  • Deathwatch Iron Skin Override (available regardless if you own the skin)
  • Palatine Iron Skin Override (requires ownership of the Rhino Palatine Skin)
  • Prime Iron Skin Override (requires ownership of Rhino Prime)
  • Heirloom Iron Skin Override (requires ownership of the Rhino Heirloom Skin)

STAR DAYS

 

Love is in the air and the stars are shining brighter this season, as the annual Star Days event returns! 

Visit Ticker on Fortuna to fall head over heels with new and returning items available now (11 a.m. ET on February 6) until March 5 at 11 a.m. ET. Your love may be eternal but these exclusive Star days items aren’t!

New Items:

• New Star Days Glyph, courtesy of community artist 4MORI4N.
  • Star Days Amir Glyph
  • Star Days Aoi Glyph
  • Star Days Arthur Glyph
  • Star Days Lettie Glyph
  • Star Days Quincy Glyph
  • Star Days Eleanor Glyph 
• Kexat Kavat Gene-Masking Kit
• Fabled Gene-Masking Kit (previously available via Nora’s Mix Vol. 4)

Glyph Pricing Changes:
Ticker brings many Glyphs each year, and we understand there may be Tenno trying to catch-up to earn all of her wares. We want Tenno to be able to spread their Star Days affection far and wide, so all Star Days Glyphs now only cost 5 Debt-Bonds each. 

ADDITIONS 

• A new Somachord track titled “The Great KIM” is available to acquire from Aoi’s Offerings in The Höllvania Central Mall. 
  • This is the 8-bit version of On-Lyne’s “The Great Despair” that plays while you are using the POM-2! 
• Added confirmation popups when deleting inbox messages that contain a fullscreen cinematic. 
  • We want to prevent those who want to keep their NYE kiss cinematics from accidentally deleting them. 
• Added a “Players waiting” pop-up when players have approached the boss fight trigger in H-09 Efervon Tank Assassination.
• Added the ability to exit out of the KIM reset at year-end if you’re not quite ready to make a decision. 
  • By delaying the decision you will be able to interact with the Pom-2 normally, but this reset pop-up will continue to appear each time you open the Pom-2 until you choose to Remember or Forget. 

CHANGES

• Reduced Faction-specific kill requirements for 1999 Calendar tasks by ~50% for Scaldra and ~25% for Techrot.
  • Since the Techrot often make an appearance even in Scaldra missions, Tenno come across fewer Scaldra overall — thus their kill requirements have been adjusted accordingly.
• Improved network stability, notably for players using certain network services. 
• The Steel Path Squad Vs. Squad Faceoff node is no longer required to receive the 1999 Steel Path Emote and Trophies. Now, completing the Solo Squad node will register both nodes as cleared. 
  • Completing the Squad Vs. Squad node hinged on matchmaking availability, which could be unreliable at times. So we removed it as a requirement to progressing/completing the 1999 Steel Path. 
• The new Faceoff game mode has received a polish pass, featuring the following changes:
  • Made small improvements to Ally NPC spawning in Faceoff: Single Squad missions.
  • The number of ghostly enemy specters in Faceoff missions will now properly reflect how many enemies are on the other team.
  • Improved cases of the Mobile Voice Pirate Radio jittering when moving around obstacles in Faceoff missions.
  • Faceoff extraction will now become immediately available once one team completes the third objective.
  • Increased the amount of time required for the AI enemy team to complete Data Burn in Steel Path Faceoff: Single Squad.
  • Improved Faceoff Assassination targets spawning logic to help eliminate cases of Assassination Targets either a) not spawning or b) spawning far away, resulting in one team being progression stopped. 
    • Now Assassination Targets should spawn in better locations overall and not clip with the environment.
  • Improved VFX on the Gravity Wells spawned by the Gravity Wells Boost. 
• Reduced the maximum height needed to make progress on the “Kill X enemies while on high ground” Höllvania Bounty challenge. 
  • Players noted that it was rather difficult to make progress on this challenge in the underground portions of the tileset. This was due to the height distance requirement between players and enemies being far too extreme. Now, as long as the enemies’ heads are shin’s length below your feet, killing them will progress the challenge, so it’s much more forgiving! 
  • Also worth noting that players must have some contact with the environment to be considered “high ground” – this means that wall-latching counts! 
• The black portions of the Athletic Shirt and Sleeves can now be color customized! They now use the “Secondary Color” channel. 
• Increased the overall damage and Health of the Techrot faction. 
  • In their previous state, the Techrot was easy to mow down in the Steel Path. So we brought them up closer to the Infested and Scaldra factions for more engaging combat. 
  • We did not however increase the Health of the Techrot Babau. We want to maintain the changes we made in Hotfix 38.0.3 that reduced its Health and Shields. 
• Albrecht Laboratories and Höllvania resources can now be fed to Helminth for the following Secretions: 
  • Oxides: 
    • Entrati Obols
  • Synthetics: 
    • Necracoil 
    • Experimental Arc-Relay 
  • Calx: 
    • Stela 
  • Bile: 
    • Vessel Capillaries 
    • Efervon Sample 
  • Biotics: 
    • Höllvania Pitchweave Fragment 
  • Pheromones: 
    • Techrot Motherboard 
    • Techrot Chitin 
• An exclamation mark will now appear on the POM 2’s monitor when there is a notification available (Calendar Prize to claim, messages in KIM, etc.). 
• Curtains in the Backroom can now be separately color customized. 
  • Access this by opening up the pause menu and going to Equipment > Backroom > Backroom Appearance > Change Curtain color. 
• Made tweaks to the cables in the Backroom ceiling so that they interact with surroundings better. Also adjusted thickness and color variation, optimized them and fixed them clipping into ceiling, beams and pipes. 
• Updated the Backroom Arsenal backdrop and fixed missing details.
• Made improvements to Drifter facial expressions during New Year’s Eve kiss cinematic. 
• Players can now skip the New Year’s Eve kiss cinematic.
• Removed the “Tactician” listing from the Alliance Permissions screen, as being able to deploy and manage Solar Rails was removed many years ago. Better late than never!
• Removed the mention of “Status” in the Static Buildup Override’s description, since it grants Electricity Damage and not Status. 
  • Now reads: Each meter traveled grants Electricity Damage. Attacking consumes 10% of the accumulated charge. 
• Protoframes will now offer unplayed “Close” conversations when players have reached Best Friend or Loved status.
  • This was a highly requested feature, since Protoframes did not have conversations available once you have maxed out their Chemistry. It’s possible that some of these newly-available conversations won’t fully make sense in the context of your relationship status with them, but a chat is still a chat.

SFX Additions & Changes:

• Added SFX to the animations when activating/closing the Foundry, Arcane, and Atomicycle segments in the Backroom. 
• Tweaked the audio of Dante’s abilities to reduce the harshness of some frequencies. 
• Slightly reduced the SFX volume of the Dual Decurions (base and Prisma). 
• Reduced the Techrot Babau’s spawn SFX volume. 
• Adjusted mix for all Melee “whoosh” SFX. 
• Reduced the spamming of creaking SFX on the automobiles in Höllvania.  
• Made the Legacyte’s jumping SFX more audible from farther distances. 
• Updated the SFX of the propeller on the Hell-Scrub towers.

• Fixed the Lone Gun Incarnon Perk not applying to the Vasto if you do not have a Primary weapon equipped.

  • If you’re a player affected by this issue, earning Chemistry via Gifting or Bounties should bring you up to the correct rank!

• Fixed players being able to see friend requests from those on their Ignore lists. 
  • These requests are auto-declined if a player is on your Ignore list, but this didn’t happen until the receiving player logged out — resulting in cases where they could see a request from a player they were ignoring if received whilst online. Now it should properly auto-decline immediately and the recipient is none the wiser. 
• Fixed being able to infuse a second damage-boosting Ability on Warframes via Helminth.
  • Accounts with Warframes in this state have had the unintended Ability Infusion removed.  
• Fixed certain Decorations in Bird 3’s Shiny Treasures offerings not having the same appearance frequency as others. Now, all decorations should have an equal chance of rotating in.

• Fixed various lighting issues in Cambion Drift caves.
• Fixed Adversary transmissions not occurring in the Backroom. 
  • These transmissions are still restricted during The Hex Quest.

• Fixed accessing the Parazon Upgrade screen from the Adversary menu then opening the Archon Shard menu resulting in your Lich/Sister of Parvos overlapping in the Archon Shard menu. They’re just making notes of what to steal for next time.

Warframe – Ver. 38.0.7

• Release date: January 14th/15th 2025
• Patch notes:

Changes:

• The Overpower Hex Override (casting abilities increases Ability Strength by 2% and efficiency by -1% per unit of energy used by the ability for 5s) is now capped at +150% Ability Strength and -75% Efficiency.
  • In addition to reaching unintentionally high damage numbers, without a cap players could crash from the infinite stacking after rapidly recasting abilities. 
• Reduced the distance at which Legacytes can spawn in Legacyte Harvest missions, so players won’t have as far to trek to find them.

Fixes:

• Fixed imposter-looking Drifters appearing in New Year’s Eve kiss cinematics. 
  • If the Drifter in the cinematic looked a little sus, they should more closely resemble your actual Drifter now!

• Fixes towards incorrect camera position for Angels of the Zariman cinematics that take place in the Chamber of the Lotus.

• Patch notes:

Changes:

• Ember and Frost’s passives now apply to their Affinity Range, instead of being a fixed range. 
• Disabled use of the Atomicycle in all Warframe Quests — excluding The Hex Quest, of course!
  • While we are committed to keeping the Atomicycle where we can outside of 1999, it was causing numerous Quest cinematics to break if you were on wheels. It’s important to us to preserve and protect these cinematic Quest experiences — apologies!
• Updated Arcane Camisado’s description to indicate that the buff only applies to the next Ability cast, then resets.

1999 Changes & Fixes:

• Increased the explosion radius of the “Techrot enemies explode on death” modifier in Höllvania Bounties. 
  • The original radius was quite small, making it seem like this Bounty modifier wasn’t working. Now you’ll have to stand a little further away if you want to avoid getting Techrot goo on your face!
• Once you complete all months in a 1999 Calendar Season, the sidebar in the Calendar screen will now indicate how long until the next season. 
• Fixed the Backroom node appearing as incomplete in the Steel Path Höllvania NavNow screen. 
• Fixed agreeing to Date a Protoframe while Best Friends resulting in your Chemistry Rank not changing (and related mechanics not triggering). 
  • Those who were in this state prior to this Hotfix will need to earn Chemistry with said Protoframe (via gifting or Bounties) to get their rank to update.
  • Also fixes the same issue if breaking up with a Protoframe. 
• Fixed Faceoff Assassination targets not being flagged as VIP units, meaning they were able to be trivialized by various Warframe Abilities. 
• Fixed placing Decorations in the Backroom not counting towards The Personal Touch Nightwave Act. 
• Fixed the “Profile” button in the KIM screen not being localized.
• Fixed a player response to Amir not being localized in KIM.
• Fixed loss of function when clicking on the Profile button in KIM on the Turkish client. 
• Fixed an Ordis voice line playing while removing a Helminth Cyst in the Backroom. 
• Fixed 1999 Calendar date change SFX not respecting sound settings.
• Fixed being able to use your Operator in Höllvania Central Mall. 

Fixes:

• Fixed Eximus spawning at an increased rate in the Origin System
  • Missions in Höllvania have these increased Eximus spawns, but it was also unintentionally applied to normal Warframe missions!
• Fixed performance issues related to Arcane Camisado. 
• Fixed Companions not dying after triggering Sacrifice and Martyr Symbiosis if they have Overguard. 
• Fixed Cyte-09’s Neutralizer not being affected by many sources of Ability Strength (i.e. Precision Intensify, Energy Conversion, etc.). 
• Fixed bonus Invisibility duration from Cyte-09’s Evade not properly applying to Clients.
• Fixed bonus Heat Procs from Reconifex and Cyte-09’s Resupply not stacking properly.

Warframe – Ver. 38.0.5

• Release date: December 18th/19th 2024
• Patch notes:

KIM: Romance & Relationship System Changes & Fixes:

As shared in a PSA yesterday, we have added ways to better communicate when you are unable to rank up in Chemistry with a Protoframe due to being an insufficient rank in The Hex Syndicate. We’ve done so in the following ways: 

• Added lock icon and a note in Protoframes’ Profiles in the KIM: Romance & Relationship UI to indicate when you are unable to rank up in Chemistry due to being an insufficient rank in The Hex Syndicate.
  • The note reads: “I need to prove myself as a member of the Hex before I spend more time talking to them one on one”.
  • This note will not prevent players from further messaging the Protoframe while they have remaining conversation options. You will still be able to earn Chemistry while in this state.
• Once a player has exhausted ALL conversation options for their Chemistry Rank with a Protoframe, a lock icon will appear on their KIM chat, indicating what Hex Syndicate rank is needed to continue talking to them.
• Note: We mentioned in the PSA that we’d also be including some kind of indicator in the Höllvania Bounty End of Mission screen. We’ll be adding this in the new year!

General KIM Changes:

• Added a “whoosh” SFX when ranking up with Protoframes. 

KIM Fixes: 

• Fixed instances where Lettie and Amir could get stuck typing forever (oof we all know the anxiety of watching someone type a response).
• Fixed being able to interact with other UI menus while the “Liked” Chemistry rank up cinematic played.  
• Fixed a typo in one of Eleanor’s responses. 
• Fixed a grammatical error in one of Quincy’s responses. 

Changes: 

• Höllvania missions that must be completed to receive the 1999 Steel Path Trophy/Emote are now marked with an “!” icon. 
  • As a refresher, earning the 1999 Steel Path Trophy and Emote requires you to complete all missions on the Normal Path before any Steel Path node completion would count towards the Steel Path Trophy. This set-up is different from other Regions, and has led to a lot of confusion from players who have completed all of the Steel Path nodes but have not received the Trophy/Emote inbox. Changing the logic requires a Code Fix, which we unfortunately could not implement before the holidays, so this is our workaround for the time being. 
  • Now, if you have NOT completed all missions on the Normal Path (and therefore cannot earn Trophy progress for the Steel Path nodes), this “!” icon should help indicate that your Steel Path progress is not being registered. With the aid of our PSA, players hopefully then know they are missing a Normal Path node that they must play for Steel Path progress to be registered. We know this is far from ideal, but we wanted to at least have some visual indication of “completion is not being registered” while we work on a better fix. 
• Temporarily removed the “Destroy X Scaldra Barbican Shields” Höllvania Bounty Challenge. 
  • While we reduced the requirement in yesterday’s Hotfix, we understand that the specificity of the challenge paired with several other factors (like accidentally obliterating the target before their Shield) can make it rather troublesome to complete. So we’ve temporarily removed it and will reassess it in the new year.
• Added a popup upon entering a spoiler area in The Höllvania Central Mall while you have The Angels of the Zariman Quest active that’ll give you the option to either a) Return to Orbiter (to deploy quest missions there) or b) Abort the Quest. 
  • As mentioned in Hotfix 38.0.3, starting Angels of the Zariman from this area was causing a loss of function, so we’ve added this popup in the meantime while we investigate a solution for the new year. 
• Change the name of the “Kinematic Tannoy” in the DIRECTGIFTZ Shop to “Kinematic Announce”. 

Fixes:

• Fixed Hildryn’s Balefire becoming available to use while riding the Atomicycle after she runs out of Shields.  
• Fixed Secondary Enervate (Secondary weapons Arcane) unintentionally working with Amps. 
• Fixed 1999 Calendar no longer displaying the “current” date once all events in the season have been completed. 
  • Now, it will display the last day in the month of the season once you’ve completed it. 
  • Also fixed the wrong date appearing on the desk calendar in a spoiler location. 
• Fixed the ™ tag not properly displaying on The Scooticle in the DIRECTGIFTZ Shop UI. 
• Fixed performance issues caused by the enemy spawns after opening Scaldra Caches in Höllvania Exterminate missions. 
• Fixed UI breaking when using the Arsenal Fast Travel option in the Höllvania Central Mall. 
  • To prevent these issues from occurring, switching to Operator while in the Mall has been disabled. 
• Fixed chat box in Orbiter immediately closing after sending a message. 
• Fixed a checkbox appearing in the objective UI for Höllvania Bounties that have a mission modifier instead of a challenge. 
• Fixed Faceoff music being overheard mixed with the KIM music if players have their volume slider set extremely low. 
• Fixed the Faceoff rewards missing from the Official Warframe Drop Tables site. 
• Fixed Birthday events in the 1999 Calendar not specifying a Protoframe and instead saying “The Hex” when accessing from the Höllvania Mall garage Pom-2. 
• Fixed being able to spawn H-09 Efervon Tank in the Simulacrum. 
• Fixed Koumei’s Omikuji challenge  “Kill Enemies with X Status Effect” appearing as a filepath in the UI popup. 
• Fixed multiple script errors related to entering a certain area in the Höllvania Central Mall while you have an active Quest. 
• Fixed script errors caused by Decrees with “inflict X Status Effect to also inflect another Status Effect” conditions (ex: Baneful Harmony). 
• Fixes towards script error caused by the pools of Efervon released from the tanks in Höllvania. 
• Fixed more script errors caused by Void Angels impaling player during Transference. 
• Fixed script error with Gauss’ Thermal Sunder. 
• Fixed script error with Nekros’ Shadows of the Dead. 
• Fixed script error with Atomicycles. 

• Additional notes: none.

Warframe – Ver. 38.0.4

• Release date: December 17th/18th 2024
• Patch notes:

Changes: 

• Removed Höllars Cache as a reward from all of the Hell-Scrub and Legacyte Harvest mission rotations based on player feedback. 
  • In light of this, we’ve redistributed the drop chances to the Endo and Neo/Meso Relics. For the new drop chance percentages, visit the official Warframe Drop Tables.
• Reduced the requirements of the following Höllvania Bounty challenges based on player feedback that they were tedious to complete: 
  • Kill X enemies with abilities
  • Destroy X Scaldra Barbican Shields
  • Destroy X Vehicles 
    • Also fixed this challenge appearing in Legacyte Harvest instead of Scaldra Hell-Scrub. There is underground parking in Höllvania, but not as many spots as above ground which made this challenge rather difficult to complete in Legacyte Harvest Bounties. 
• Improved the Biocode spawn distances to make them easier to find in relation to the Techrot Safe. 
  • Also increased the VFX on Biocodes to make them easier to see in Höllvania.  
  • Also fixed issues with being unable to interact with the Techrot Safe’s context action. 
• Re-enabled Garuda’s Seeking Talons animation being affected by Casting Speed. 
  • We originally removed this interaction in Warframe: 1999 to fix an issue that caused Garuda to hit a Heavy Landing mid air due to increased Casting Speed. Player feedback requested this be returned, so we have re-enabled it and were able to implement another fix to prevent the Heavy Landing issue from occurring. 
• Techrot enemy “beep” sounds can now be adjusted via the “Sound Effects Volume” slider. 
• Added new custom icons to the “Continue” and “Back” buttons in a selection screen during a certain stage of The Hex Quest. 
• Added a new SFX when picking up Hex Treasures in Höllvania missions.
  • Also increased the volume of the hum to help you locate them. 
• Made dialogue pacing adjustments in the Legacyte Harvest missions.  
• Made several adjustments to the audio in Faceoff missions (including reducing Transmission frequency). 

Fixes:

• Fixed Steel Path difficulty modifiers applying twice on the Faceoff Assassination targets (notably the Techrot Babau). 
  • As a refresher, yesterday’s Hotfix reduced the overall tankiness of both the Techrot Babau and Scaldra Dedicant. Now with this fix, hopefully Babau feel like a more reasonable fight now across the board!
• Fixed Nyx’s Psychic Bolts Max Armor cap not scaling with Ability Strength. 
• Fixed being unable to do anything after successfully completing the Mastery Rank 1 Test. 
• Fixed being able to increase your Chemistry rank with a Protoframe before interacting with The Hex Syndicate, which then caused players to rank back down.
• This was particularly noticeable with Lettie, since her Birthday allowed players to get extra Chemistry with her. 
  • We unfortunately forgot to call out a very important detail about the KIM: Romance & Relationship System in the Update 38 Patchnotes (which have now been updated), that explains that Chemistry Ranks are locked behind Hex Syndicate Ranks. More information on that here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1428487-psa-kim-chemistry-ranks-hex-syndicate-rank-clarification/
• Fixed Eleanor, Lettie and Arthur being dateable at the “Trusted” Chemistry Rank instead of the intended “Close”. 
  • For those of you who rizzed your way up to dating them before the required rank, don’t worry, we aren’t breaking you up. You earned their heart, and you get to keep it!
• Fixed case where the gold sparkling text indicating Chemistry gain with a Protoframe could appear on your own text. Self love is a great thing, but not in this instance. 
• Fixed a case returning to the Höllvania Central Mall after a Star Chart mission instead of to a spoiler location. 
• Fixed the pause menu while playing as Drifter in the final stages of The Hex Quest having the “Abilities” option and a broken diorama. 
• Fixed a clicking sound occurring when Aim Gliding. 
• Fixed Kalymos vanishing after interacting with something in The Hex Quest. 
• Fixed the map in the Chrysalith no longer indicating which enemy Faction is occupying the Zariman. 
• Fixed a certain location in the Höllvania Central Mall having blown out lighting on Nintendo Switch. 
• Fixed changing Amp appearance causing Drifter’s head to snap backwards (horrifying). 
• Fixed “Bounty Board” having a PH tag in the Höllvania Central Mall map Legend. 
• Fixed black square appearing as the “More the Merrier” Hex Override HUD buff icon. 
• Fixed enemies not spawning in Legacyte Harvest missions after Host migration.
  • This was fixed in Hotfix 38.0.1, it just got missed in the patch notes. 
• Fixed DE Credits context action in Höllvania Central Mall not working in seasons other than Summer. 
• Fixed some weapons having misaligned bullet decals.
• Fixed script error with the Summoner’s Wrath Aura Mod.  
• Fixed rare script error caused by exploding propane tanks in Höllvania.

• Made the following changes to the Techrot Babau and Scaldra Dedicant to address player feedback on how difficult they were to defeat (especially on the Steel Path):
  • Reduced the Health of the Scaldra Dedicant by half. 
    • In light of the reduction, we’ve also given the unit some resistances to staggers/stuns so that in its new weaker state it can still fight back. 
  • Reduced the Health and Shields of the Techrot Babau by 25%. 
    • Known issue: Steel Path difficulty modifiers are applying twice on the Techrot Babau in Faceoff missions. We’ll have this fixed in the next Hotfix! 
• In addition to Höllvania and Open Landscape missions, we’ve made the decision to allow Atomicycles to be summoned and used in ALL missions (with the exception of Archwing missions). 
  • As mentioned in our PSA from earlier today, this was a bug that we decided not to fix and instead make a feature. There are a few things to note though: 
    • We have fixed the significant spotloading that would occur when summoning the Atomicycle in regular missions. Please note that the normal mission Atomicycle will be the default bike. 1999 missions will retain any customizations you have equipped.  
    • This leniency does not apply to other traversal vehicles —  Atomicycle only!
    • We have removed the Atomicycle summon from Archwing missions —  they can’t fly, sorry!
    • Any gamebreaking issues that we come across will be addressed as well.
• Added 1 more eligible gift option per Protoframe that’ll increase your Chemistry with them! 
  • If you missed the detail in the Update 38 patch notes, only certain gifts will increase Chemistry for each Protoframe. After being bombarded with a variety of gifts since Warframe: 1999’s release, it appears they’ve all grown fond of an additional item in DIRECTGIFTZ’ offerings. 
  • Previous gifts of these newly-liked items will not increase your Chem retroactively!
• Improved the enemy spawning logic during Exterminate objectives in Faceoff missions.
• Improved Open Landscape public matchmaking, giving players a better chance to find and join other squads. 
• Gemini Skin voice lines can now be adjusted via the “Transmissions Volume” slider in the Audio settings. 
  • We are still looking to add an independent slider for Gemini Skins in a future Cert update, but for now we wanted to give you at least some control over the volume of your own and others Gemini Skins. 
• Turned down the volume on the Techrot enemy death vocals. 
• Made some improvements to Operator/Drifter eye, eyelid, and face animations while customizing them. 
• Also fixed the camera aggressively zooming into the Operator/Drifter’s face when customizing their head. 
• Made a certain truck animation in The Hex Quest (you know the one wink) more obvious to make it clear that you need to interact with it. 
  • Also made fixes towards being auto-vaulted onto the truck upon approaching it. 
• Made updates to the Efervon Tank death VFX. 

Fixes: 

• Fixed Cyte-09’s Resupply Extra Damage bonuses not scaling with Ability Strength. 
  • Also fixed some unexpected issues with certain weapons occurring when spamming the ability. We’ve added a very small (0.35 second) cooldown to help prevent these oddities. 
  • Also fixed its ability preview video showing binding callouts. 
• Fixed Nyx’s Mind Control lasting half the Duration shown in the Arsenal UI. 
  • The UI showed the modded values, but they were not properly applying in-game. 
• Fixed case where the H-09 Efervon Tank fight could not be progressed after dealing damage to its vents. 
• Fixed the Scaldra TI-92 being able to be marked/highlighted by Ash’s Blade Storm while it is moving.
  • This allowed all enemies riding the vehicle to be auto-targeted and damaged. Worth noting that the enemy manning the turret on the top is intended to be immune to abilities (as it causes issues with the AI ceasing to function) and will not be eligible to be marked. 
• Fixed issue where Look-Link could allow you to equip Gemini Skin features (tactical gear and Protoframe voices) onto non-Gemini Skin Warframes. 
  • While we understand this bug resulted in Fashionframe opportunities, it contradicts what the Gemini Skins represent with their unique Voice lines. Additionally, the cascade of work needed to align the tactical gear on every skin variant is not feasible for this feature. Sorry Tenno!
• Fixed Nova dealing self-damage when attempting to extract from Open Landscape while riding Atomicycle while Null Star is active with the Neuron Star Augment. 
• Fixed issue in the first stage of the Duviri Paradox Quest that enabled the Melee attack binding on Drifter, which prevented the Sirocco from being able to shoot (ultimately halting Quest progress). 
• Fixed Rivens that give weapons negative Puncture Damage causing Melee Doughty’s Critical Multiplier to increase beyond intended amounts. 
• Fixed case where Eximus Moas could spawn in a state where they could only be damaged by radial effects. Legends of Invulnerable Moas have spread far and wide, but now they’ve finally been vanquished —  we hope!
• Fixed Emergency Transponders and Thermian RPGs from Phase 1 of the H-09 Efervon Tank Assassination mission lingering after entering the arena. 
• Fixed the Scaldra Eradicators leaving behind permanent Gas Status Effects/clouds in the level, leading to potential performance issues. 
• Fixed being able to complete more than one conversation a day per Protoframe. 
  • We hotdropped this fix yesterday after realizing that the fix that went out in Hotfix 38.0.2 to correct erroneous reset dates/times ended up allowing for more than one conversation after the daily reset on Dec 15th. Moving forward conversations will properly reset at 0:00 UTC. 
• Fixed the Rank 2 to 3 transmission playing after each conversation / Gift sent to Protoframe. 
• Fixed Arthur and Lettie’s profiles incorrectly indicating that you’ve been flirty with them, when you are in fact, not.
• Fixed being able to send a Birthday message to Lettie from the 1999 Calendar more than once, allowing you to earn more than the intended Chemistry per Birthday interaction. 
• Fixed instances where Hex Treasures could spawn inside of the Höllvania tile, making them impossible to collect. 
• Fixed Hex Treasures not counting towards “The Hunt is On” Nightwave Act. 
• Fixed getting stuck on a white screen during The Hex Quest intro if playing on a low spec machine. 
• Fixed Hound Weapons missing their stats in the Arsenal UI. 
• Fixed players who have not completed The Hex Quest being able to enter Squad vs. Squad lobbies from invite. 
• Fixed case where baby Beast Companions could get scaled up to the size of an adult. 
• Fixed the Operator/Drifter Ceno and Zauba Skirts ballooning out awkwardly. 
• Fixed the Liset Landing Craft being angled weirdly in the Junction levels, causing it to clip through the extraction area.
• Fixed collision missing on a map element in the final sequence of The Hex Quest. 
• Fixed the “Change Loadout” screen opening when jumping around certain spots in the Höllvania Central Mall. 
• Fixed squad icon in the Faceoff lobby overlapping with the players platform icon.
• Fixed Scaldra Barbican’s weapon fire VFX being misaligned. 
• Fixed filepath showing up for the Höllvania Bounty Board in the map legend. 
• Fixed a typo in the Neon Nights Livery’s description. 
• Fixed PH tag appearing in Ergo Glast’s Tenet Weapon Merchandise screen. 
• Fixed PH tag appearing in the Broadened Horizons Hex Override description in the HUD buff list.  
• More fixes towards a PH tag in the “Reset Decorations” confirmation pop-up.
• Fixed several holes in the map that players could fall out of during The Hex Quest. 
• Fixed notification/squad overlay UI elements appearing in moments of The Hex Quest where it shouldn’t be.
• Fixed gaps and floating mesh issues in the Höllvania tileset. 
• Fixed broken lighting in the Drifter Camp Captura Scene. 
• Fixed a crash with the Summoner’s Wrath Aura Mod. 
• Fixed crash in certain stages of The Hex Quest related to Protoframe abilities. 
• Fixed script error in Höllvania Exterminate missions. 
• Fixed several script errors with Vulpaphyla’s Viral Quills Precept. 
• Fixed script error with the Techrot Babau. 
• Fixed script error with Nyx’s Mind Control ability. 
• Fixed script error with Excalibur’s Slash Dash and Exalted Blade abilities.
• Fixed multiple script errors in the KIM system.
• Fixed script error when Void Angel impales player while using Transference. 
• Fixed multiple script errors in Faceoff missions. 
• Fixed script error in the Höllvania streaming tunnel. 
• Fixed script error caused by attempting to start the Angels of the Zariman Quest from the Höllvania Central Mall. 
  • Known Issue: A variety of Quests are not able to be started from the Mall due to function loss. The Angels of the Zariman is part of that list. We’re investigating to see if we can add support for these Quests from this area in the future, but on a case-by-case basis.

Changes:

• Made adjustments to the SFX of the Techrot Mutalist’s abilities.
• Tweaked the SFX volume of the Legacyte’s abilities.

Fixes: 

• Fixed KIM Daily Conversation reset being set to midnight EST instead of 0:00 UTC. 
  • For Tenno who chatted up the Hex today prior to this hotfix, this bug will persist until you hit reset again (at the bugged time of 0:00 EST). To clarify:
    • For any Protoframe you have chatted with after 0:00 EST on December 14 (but before today’s hotfix), your next set of conversations with them will become available at 0:00 EST on December 15. Once that reset passes, any further conversations will properly reset at 0:00 UTC.

QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES

New Player Experience Improvements

More Starter Slots! 

Throughout the New Player Experience improvements we’ve made this year, the biggest point of feedback we’ve received is to increase the starting Weapon and Warframe Slots amounts. So we’ve done just that! 

New players will now start with more Slots: 

• Weapon Slots: Increased from 8 to 11
• Warframe Slots: Increased from 2 to 3 

If you’re an existing player, these additional Warframe (1) and Weapon Slots (3) will be delivered to you via inbox message on log in! 

Mercury and Mars Junction Rewards

The Mercury and Mars Junctions will now reward a fully-built Boltor and Fragor respectively, instead of the Blueprints!  

• Players who have completed these Junctions will also receive said items via the Slots inbox message above.   

Mastery Rank Test Changes

Mastery Rank Tests no longer make you wait 24 hours upon failing an attempt – meaning you can continue with Mastery Rank test attempts until you succeed. The cooldown timer remains for successful attempts, but we’ve reduced it from 24 to 23 hours.

We’ve also changed the Mastery Rank test “Practice” prompt in Cephalon Simaris’ Relay Room to “Replay”. 

• Since you can attempt without a time penalty, there is no real need to practice ahead of time. However, tests remain available to replay in case you would like to revisit them for old time sake. 
• Upcoming Mastery Rank tests will now indicate the amount of Mastery XP required to access it. 

Nyx & Trinity Rework Forma Inbox 

Login starting today @ 9:30 PM ET until April 13, 2025 to receive 2 built Forma via inbox message. 

We go into the full details on Nyx & Trinity’s rework in the dedicated section, but this Forma can be used (at your discretion) to experiment with the changes we’ve made! 

Unreal Tournament Weapon Skins Inbox 

From now until December 23rd @ 2 PM ET, login to receive the Drakgoon Flak Cannon Skin, Ogris Rocket Launcher Skin and Stahlta Shock Rifle Skin. 

After December 23rd, you’ll be able to acquire these skins from the in-game Market for 1 Credit. If you do not own the Drakgoon, Ogris and/or Stahlta these skins will still be in your inventory to equip them once you do. 

 

NEW CINEMATIC QUEST: THE HEX

The desperate hunt for Albrecht Entrati has led the Drifter to the city of Höllvania on December 31st, 1999. Despite the Scaldra lockdown in the face of the Techrot menace, the citizens do their best to celebrate. But this has all happened before… and ended in disaster. 

The Hex is a solo quest experience!

Spoiler Courtesy

The quest and the content that follows it has significant Spoilers for Warframe and its future. Please let all Tenno experience it at their own pace, and be kind. Use spoiler tags liberally if you wish to talk about it to avoid ruining the experience for someone else (read more on that here). Content Creators should clearly label spoiler content and use spoiler-free thumbnails.

Quest Duration & Commitment

Once you begin The Hex Quest you will be committed to it and will be unable to play other missions until it is completed. Depending on the player, The Hex Quest can take between an hour to an hour and a half to complete.

There are different ways in which you can still access the 1999 Demo and earn the Protokol Longsword Skin depending on your Quest completion status. 

• Players who have completed Vor’s Prize but not The Hex quest:

Located next to the Bounty board in the garage.

• You can Fast Travel to the Pom-2 via Fast Travel from the pause menu, or via the Gear Wheel.
• Note: The Mall PC does not have access to the Romance & Relationship system, this is so that this area can be used for people looking to join up for missions and bounties. It’s much nicer to chat with your besties in the privacy of your Orbiter anyways! 

2. Orbiter

1999 Calendar

With the Scaldra breathing down your neck, 1999 is panning out to be a busy year. Thankfully, your personal computer is fully equipped with a digital 1999 Calendar to keep you busy!

 

Note: Images of the 1999 Calendar that we’ve provided below are for example purposes! Since the system is randomized, your own experience will likely be different from what you see in these screenshots. 

The 1999 Calendar system has the following events for you to partake in that we’ll cover in detail below!

• Completing To Dos (challenges) 
• Selecting Prizes (rewards) 
• Selecting Hex Overrides (upgrades) 
• Celebrating Hex birthdays

Seasons Cycle

The passing of time in Höllvania is measured by the four seasons. The season indicated in the 1999 Calendar is global for all players, so if it is Winter for you it is Winter for all. You will also experience the season indicated in the 1999 Calendar while exploring Höllvania. 

Each season lasts a week of real-world time (changing on Monday 0:00 UTC), meaning you have 7 days to complete the To Dos, and collect Prizes and Hex Overrides each season. 

The first full season cycle will occur on the following real-world dates: 

• Winter: December 13, 2024 – December 22, 2024
  • Since we’ve launched the update on a Friday, we extended the first 1999 Winter season until December 22 instead of on the upcoming weekly reset. This is so that you have 10 days to interact with the 1999 Winter season instead of only 3! Season changes afterwards will resume on the usual weekly reset on Monday 0:00 UTC. 
• Spring: December 22, 2024 – December 29, 2024
• Summer: December 29, 2024 – January 5, 2025
• Autumn: January 5, 2025 – January 12, 2025

Each season contains 3 months, each with their own To Dos, prizes and Hex Overrides: 

1. Winter: January, February, and March 
2. Spring: April, May, and June
3. Summer: July, August, and September
4. Autumn: October, November, and December

How To Progress In 1999 Calendar

Progressing through each month is simple! Complete the events marked in the 1999 Calendar in the order that they appear. 

Events in the 1999 Calendar reset when the season changes on Monday 0:00 UTC. 

• Reminder that we have extended the first 1999 Winter season to December 22 so that you have 10 real-world days instead of 3 to complete the Winter events in the 1999 Calendar. 

Your progress through the month is marked in grey to indicate completed events. Whatever day is up next for you to complete is highlighted in green. 

 

You can select any day on the 1999 Calendar, regardless of your progress, to read the details of a To Do, Prize, Hex Overrides and Birthdays. You can also view each month in a season by selecting the small calendar icons in the top right. These icons will also have a checkmark once you have completed all the events in that particular month. 

 

There are no restrictions to the number of 1999 Calendar events you can complete in a real-world day. Help is hard to come by in Höllvania, so The Hex will take all they can get! 

To Dos

To Dos in the 1999 Calendar are tasks needing to be completed specifically in Höllvania missions. They are indicated by the clipboard icon. Each month in a season has two To Dos.

 

To Dos change with the season upon weekly reset (Monday at 0:00 UTC). Those you have not completed before then will not have their progress carried over into the next season, as a new season means a new batch of To Dos! 

Since you must complete events in the 1999 Calendar in order, you can only make progress on a To Do if it is highlighted in green. In other words, you can only make progress on one To Do at a time!

If a season change occurs while you are in a mission and you had a To Do active from the previous season it can still be completed within that mission. However, it will only reward you with Affinity and not progress in the 1999 Calendar, as the season it was in has been rotated out. 

While there is a Hex member in the To Do descriptions, completing To Dos will not give Chemistry with the character shown. Learn more about the Romance & Relationship System in its dedicated section. 

You can view your To Do progress in-mission by opening the Pause Menu, selecting “Challenges” and then the “To Do” tab. 

Prizes

Prizes in the 1999 Calendar are well… Rewards! They are indicated by the gift box icon. There are 2 Prizes to select in each month, for a total of 6 per season. 

 

Prizes change with the season on Mondays 0:00 UTC. So be sure to select your Prizes before the reset occurs, as a new season means a new batch of Prizes to claim! 

The Prizes that are available each month are randomly generated! They range from a list of goods including: 

• New Arcanes – With a chance of receiving one (or two depending on the day!) of the following upon selecting:
  • Arcane Bellicose
  • Arcane Truculence

  • These become active immediately when you claim them from the 1999 Calendar.

• Vosfor
• Endo

Hex Overrides

Hex Overrides are upgrades that only apply to you in Höllvania missions. They are indicated by the wrench icon. You can select 1 Hex Override per month, for a total of 3 per season. 

 

Hex Overrides that you select remain in effect for the full duration of the 1999 Calendar. Meaning you will retain their benefits across seasons, until you reach the New Year in 1999. Once Winter 1999 arrives again, you’ll have to select your Overrides anew. 

You can view your active Hex Overrides by selecting the “Upgrades” button at the top far right of the Calendar. 

 

 

There are two types of Hex Overrides: Hex Boosts and Hex Factors! 

Hex Boosts are passive stat buffs. 

• For example: Arthur’s “No Quarter” is a Hex Boost that increases Melee Attack Speed. 
• Certain Hex Boosts can be selected more than once to stack its effects. 

Hex Factors are active effects. 

• For example: Amir’s “Dynamo Jump”  is a Hex Factor that temporarily grants Electricity Damage on performing a bullet jump. 

While Hex Overrides are assigned to specific Hex members, they do not grant you Chemistry with them. Learn more about the Romance & Relationship System in its dedicated section. 

Hex Birthdays

Days marked with a cake icon indicate a Hex member’s birthday! This means you can also find out what their astrological signs are, which actually might explain a lot… 

You can choose to celebrate or not (ouch!), by sending them a message for an additional chance to increase your Chemistry with them. (Note: you can only send them b-day wishes if you’ve chatted with them before, so be sure to hit them up on KIM!).

 

Learn more about Chemistry and the Romance & Relationship system as a whole in the dedicated section. 

KIM: Romance & Relationship System

The folks over at Kinemantik are bringing us innovations worthy of the next millennium: now you can chat with your friends instantly via the Kinemantik Instant Messenger (KIM)! Boot up your Pom-2 and open up KIM to LOL the night away with your homies.   

The raddest part of KIM? It lets you connect with The Hex like never before via the new Romance & Relationship System. Whether you want to delve deeper into the lore of Höllvania, connect with your favourite Protoframe, or maybe find someone to share a kiss with on New Year’s Eve, how you engage with this feature is up to you. 

Note: While romance is completely optional, players will need to be Liked by all Protoframes to unlock Rank 4 of The Hex Syndicate. 

Interacting with the Romance & Relationship System allows you to learn more about each Hex member, and increase your Chemistry. 

Players can increase their Chemistry by chatting, gifting, and running Bounties with each Protoframe. In order to start earning Chemistry, you will need to complete the introductory conversation with the Hex member you are interested in via the Kinetik Messaging System in your Pom-2. You can’t forge a bond if they don’t even know you, y’know? If you don’t know, we recommend asking Loid what “parasocial” means. 

In the meantime, let’s go over how to increase your Chemistry. 

Chatting

Head to the Pom-2 PC in your Orbiter and select the messaging icon to access KIM. Each Hex member has a profile that displays what you know about them, their birthdays, and your current Chemistry rank with them. 

In this state-of-the-art interface, you can chat with each Protoframe once per day (resetting at 0:00 UTC). Look for the KIM notification icon on your Pom-2 PC (when in the Orbiter) to see if you have messages waiting for you! These conversations not only let you learn more about the Hex, but can also increase your Chemistry if you play your cards right. Chemistry increases are often marked by glimmering gold text, but not all Chemistry-increasing messages will be marked this way — sometimes the conversation is a little too serious for sparkles.

 

On the note of serious conversations, discussions with Protoframes may veer into sensitive topics like mental health, loss, war, and more. 

 

Gifting 

KIM’s latest feature, DIRECTGIFTZ, gives you the option to send Hex members gifts! Exchange your Höllars for items you think each Protoframe would like, and they’ll be delivered in a revolutionary 1-2 business days*. Each item has a limited number of stock per Protoframe, so choose your presents wisely. 

 

You can send one gift per day per Hex member, again resetting at 00:00 UTC. If you sent an item that the Hex member likes, the Chemistry gain will be reflected in the “Gift Sent” screen. Each Protoframe likes different things, so pay attention to their Profile and pick your gifts wisely!

*Gifts are delivered instantly, you don’t actually have to wait 1-2 days to see your Chemistry increase. 

 

Bounties

Each Bounty in Höllvania Central Mall has a randomly-assigned Hex member! Play the Bounty to have the selected Protoframe join you in-mission and earn a once-per-day Chemistry gain with that character (provided you have completed their introductory conversation on KIM*). 

 

The amount of Chemistry earned does not scale with Bounty difficulty like Standing —  it’s a flat value that does not change. Like Chatting and Gifting, your ability to earn Chemistry from Bounties resets at 0:00 UTC. 

* If you have not completed this conversation for the Hex member assigned to your Bounty, this will be indicated in the End of Mission screen. 

The assignments change with each Bounty rotation so that you can continue to play with your faves in a variety of game modes —  however, Hex members will never be assigned to a mission if they provide the transmissions for it. 

Chemistry

As you increase your Chemistry with the Hex, you’ll see their Chemistry status change in their KIM Profile. Chemistry ranks are as follows:
 

• Neutral
• Friendly
• Liked
• Trusted
• Close
• Best Friends / Loved (depending on relationship status)

Increasing your Chemistry rank unlocks more personal conversation options and the ability to date the Hex member, should you wish to. Being Liked is required to reach max rank in the Hex Syndicate, but romance is completely optional! 

Maximizing your Daily Chemistry Gains:

To recap the sections above, you have three ways to increase your Chemistry with Protoframes each day. The following options reset at 0:00 UTC daily. 

 

• Gifting: once per day per Hex 
  • Depending on your Gift choice, Chemistry increases are not guaranteed.
• Chatting on KIM: once per day per Hex 
  • Depending on how the conversation goes, Chemistry increases are always not guaranteed.
  • NOTE: Glimmering text can indicate a Chemistry increase, but it is not always indicated in all conversations for the sake of tone. 
• Bounties: once per day per Hex
  • Chemistry gains are guaranteed!

There is no way to lose Chemistry with a Hex member, so if you give them the wrong Gift or get on their bad side when chatting, it won’t reduce your Chemistry rank. 

KIM Profile:

Selecting a Hex member on the KIM screen will show you their actual name, their Birthday, and your current Chemistry rank (listed above). As you continue to chat with Protoframes on KIM, you’ll also see notes added to their profile indicating what you have learned about them thus-far. These will help you with conversation decisions (if you’re looking to find the *perfect* response) and gifting!

Birthday Messages:

As mentioned in the “1999 Calendar” section, players can send Hex a special message on their birthdays! You can see each character’s birthday in their KIM profile, or by scrolling through the months of the current season in the 1999 Calendar screen on your Pom-2. 

 

Dating

After reaching a high enough Chemistry rank* (it varies per Hex member), you’ll be presented with an additional dating dialogue option when visiting them in Höllvania Central Mall. Romantic entanglements are completely optional —  if you prefer to keep things platonic, it will not hinder your Chemistry progress with them!

* If your preferred method of flirting involves being overly antagonistic or dismissive, it is possible that the Hex member will not want to date you. Should this happen, you will not be permanently locked out of dating them (see the “Starting Over” section below), but we recommend re-evaluating your courting methods if you give them another try. 

You can only date one Hex member at a time, so if another Protoframe catches your eye, you will have to break up with your current partner before moving on to someone else. Similar to dating, the Break Up dialogue can be initiated in the Höllvania Central Mall. Upon ending a relationship, you may or may not be able to get back with that person depending on their personality. Breaking hearts is risky business after all. 

It is possible to start or end a relationship via KIM conversations, but romantic whims can be unpredictable, so we recommend visiting the Mall if you’re certain you want to move forward.

Smoochin’

If you’re dating a Protoframe when the 1999 Calendar Year rolls over, then you’ll share a New Year’s Kiss! The kiss occurs on New Years Eve in the 1999 Calendar year —  ie. once the full season cycle has concluded, meaning the first opportunity for a kiss will occur January 12th, 2025 at 0:00 UTC.  For more information on the Calendar system, check out the “1999 Calendar” section. 

 

Starting Over

Warframe is a live-service game, meaning there’s no way to reload a save to retread other response options in your conversations. For those who are invested in exploring all of the dialogue options, we are offering a way to reset your progress once the 1999 Calendar year has rolled over once a month. 

Doing so will completely wipe all conversation history and Chemistry you have with ALL Hex members. 

NOTE: This does not affect your Standing in the Hex Syndicate or your conversations in the Hex group chat. 

 

 

NEW TILESET: HÖLLVANIA

Ravaged by the Techrot crisis, Höllvania has been transformed. The once bustling city streets have been reduced to rubble or overrun by Infested biomass. If you hope to survive in 1999, you must traverse this new environment and discover the secrets buried beneath it.

Seasons

Experience Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn in Höllvania! Witness the city transform from season to season, a repetitive cycle that begins in Winter 1999. Weather the elements and the escalating Techrot threat with the passing of each season. 

You can check which season it is in Höllvania in the 1999 Calendar in the Pom-2 PC. 

Winter

Spring

Summer

Autumn

Techrot Safes 

Techrot Safes are safety deposit boxes from a time before the Techrot took over. They can be found throughout Höllvania and will be marked with a special waypoint if you are nearby, similar to Melica Caches in the Zariman Ten Zero.

 

A Biocode is required to unlock it – find one and bring it to a Techrot Cache to retrieve the contents within it! 

Unlocking one will reward you with the following:

• Höllars (learn more in the next section) 
• One of the new Arcanes (learn more in the dedicated “New Arcanes” section) 
• One Hex Treasure (learn more in the dedicated “Hex Treasures” section)

Höllvania Currency: Höllars

While you are in Höllvania, your Credits are called Höllars. Whatever amount of Credits you have is the amount of Höllars you have in Höllvania! 

Stacks of them can be found throughout the city in storage lockers and can drop from enemies. They can also be rewarded from Techrot Safes, mission completion and anywhere else their Credits counterpart would normally drop. 

Your Höllars can be used to purchase from the DIRECTGIFTZ Shop – learn more about the shop in the dedicated “KIM: Romance & Relationships System” section.

New Resources

The following resources can be dropped from enemies, found throughout Höllvania in resource deposits, rewarded via the Calendar system and more! 

 

Efervon Sample

A sample of the corrosive substance that Scaldra use to purge Techrot. Handle with care.

 

Experimental Arc-Relay

Höllvanian ingenuity knows no bounds, and this unregulated marvel is proof! A cutting-edge device brimming with untamed innovation.

 

Höllvanian Pitchweave Fragment

An Effervon-resistant material used to craft Scaldra uniforms.

 

Techrot Motherboard

This motherboard likely served as a nerve center, facilitating the Techrot’s communication network.

 

Techrot Chitin

This twisted husk barely resembles the electronic device it once was, consumed and reshaped by the Techrot’s relentless spread.

Efervon Hazard

The Scaldra have Efervon containers around Höllvania, stocked up to use against the Techrot. Pop the pipes and nozzles on these bad boys to release their Corrosive contents to use against them. But beware! You and your allies are also vulnerable to this green goo. 

NEW ENEMY FACTIONS

 

SCALDRA

Ruthless aggression was Höllvania’s answer to the Techrot. Wielding highly corrosive Efervon, Scaldra soldiers now patrol the streets to purge any Infestation. With martial law now declared, the Scaldra have total control. Led by Major Neci Rusalka, her command brings the entire military might of Höllvania to bear against you. 

 

Scaldra enemies are vulnerable to Impact and Corrosive Damage and are resistant to Gas Damage.

Scaldra Barbican 

Sporting a ballistic shield, this heavy unit closes the distance while laying down pistol fire. Carries an Efervon gel cannon. 

Scaldra Flayer

Quick and lethal. This Scaldra unit has been trained to rush the target and inflict maximum damage with their curved blades. 

Scaldra Harbinger

This automated aerial unit tracks and triangulates its target with lasers and then fires a high caliber rifle shot. 

Scaldra Jaeger

This rifle unit has been trained to suppress the enemy with volley after volley of machine gun fire. 

Scaldra Dedicant 

This heavily armored, slow moving unit lays down the law with dual Efervon cannons. 

Scaldra Eradicator

This support unit smokes out its target with gas grenades and finishes the job with blows from his massive club. 

 

TECHROT

Take down the Techrot in all its myriad forms. Left to fester in Höllvania’s underground, the rapidly mutating Infested has created all new threat varieties capable of wreaking havoc on the unprepared.

Techrot Enemies are vulnerable to Gas and Magnetic Damage and are resistant to Cold Damage. 

Techrot Galliflex 

This aggressive melee unit dashes at enemies, lashing out with frenzied strikes. 

Techrot Volatile Galliflex 

This self-sacrificing unit ignites its subsumed propane tank and then charges its prey, for the survival of the Hive. 

Techrot Miasmite 

These tiny nodules of Techrot are the diabolic union of an arc welder and a gas can. Usually attacking in groups, they explode as soon as they near their target. 

Techrot Matmas

This tottering, bulbous Techrot creation can inflate bladders to become airborne, raining down destruction on those below. 

Techrot Skuzzi

Once a simple workstation, the servant has turned against its former masters.

Techrot Obsolyte 

Even redundant technology is given new life through the Technocyte Virus. 

Techrot Babau 

The rapid decay of human ingenuity produces daemons. Often found growing on neglected Hell-Scrubbers. 

HÖLLVANIA MISSIONS & NEW GAME MODES 

There are 5 mission types in Höllvania, included in that are 2 NEW game modes: 

• Faceoff (New)
• Legacyte Harvest (New Endless Capture) 
• Hell-Scrub: Scaldra/Techrot (New Endless Survival Variant)
• Assassination: H-09 Efervon Tank 
• Exterminate: Scaldra/Techrot (with a 1999 twist!) 

Steel Path 

If you have The Steel Path unlocked, you can toggle the Steel Path modifiers on/off for all of these missions in the NavNow screen. 

 

Completing all of the Höllvania missions on Steel Path will reward you with the following:  

The Steel Path: 1999 Emote

 

The Steel Path – 1999 Trophy 

 

 

Faceoff 

Warframe’s next gameplay foray – Faceoff, our first PvPvE game mode! Ready to compete for some Big Bytes Pizza?

Another day, another excursion. But this time, Aoi and Amir are facing off in a friendly competitive race to see who can destroy their foes first.

 

How To Access

Interact with the Pom-2 PC in the Orbiter or the Höllvania Garage and select the “NavNow” button to bring up the map.

Select Vehrvod District for Faceoff: Squad VS Squad or Lower Vehrod for Faceoff: Single Squad.

• Faceoff: Squad vs. Squad = Play with and against seven other players 
• Faceoff: Single Squad = Play with and against AI opponents (solo and non-pvp friendly) 

How To Play

Aoi and Amir have recruited two squads for a competitive, yet cordial race, and the loser will don the hat of a Big Bytes Pizza chef! The race goes as such: two synchronized squads strike out onto the streets of Höllvania to accomplish three back-to-back objectives against the Scaldra and the Techrot! You’ll move from each objective, racing to finish them all before your opponent does. The first squad to beat the third objective wins!

To ensure parity, both squads will overcome identical objectives. Additionally, Faceoff has a few restrictions to level the playing field: 

• All Squad Restores (e.g., Energy Restore, Ammo Restore) have a 3-minute cooldown.
• The usage of player-spawned Specters & allies (e.g., Ancient Specters, On Call Crew) is disabled.
• Air Support Charges are disabled for the entirety of the mission.

As both squads fight through their objectives, Tenno can pick up Boosts to power the squad up or Penalties to unleash upon their ‘friendly’ competitor. These pickups sporadically spawn and can be used to gain an edge over your rivals.

Seek and destroy your common foe. But is your foe the Scaldra, or perhaps the opposing squad?

Objectives

Both squads will receive the same three randomized objectives and challenges that they must overcome to finish the mission. These objectives are shared between both teams for total parity.

The possible objectives are:

• Exterminate: Destroy all the enemies in your path. Areas on your minimap will be marked in red to indicate zones of increased spawns, but players don’t need to be within them for kills to count. It’s simple: see an enemy, shoot ‘em dead! Fill the gauge to 100% before the opposing team.
• Data Burn: The Hex found a Scaldra data server equipped with a multi-speed CD burner for efficient data transfer —  score! Deliver Gas Cans to the generator to keep that CD burner going to secure the valuable information stored within. Various units carry gas cans, so look for them on their backs — dropped gas cans emit a small glow and have the tell-tale powercell icon on the minimap!
• Techrot Scan: Keep your Techrot Scanner alive to learn more about what exactly is plaguing Höllvania  Jammers will spawn around the map, which players can destroy to reduce the defense timer. If your scanner falls, the timer stops and the scanner will begin to revive itself.
• Pirate Radio: Ensure the Mobile Voice Pirate Radio keeps its broadcast on-air at all costs. Attached to a balloon, you’ll keep the mobile voice safe as it floats the radio’s signal radio across the street.  Like the Techrot Scan objective, smash signal jammers to increase its broadcasting range, therefore speeding up the Mobile Voice Balloon. If the Pirate Radio falls, the timer halts, and the balloon will begin to revive itself.
• Lockbox:  A mysterious box, multiple keys, and a self-destruct sequence. The Hex have found a lockbox that requires a set of passkeys to unlock. Scour the marked area on the map to find a passkey and deliver it to the lockbox before it explodes —  safety protocols in 1999 were something else, I tell ya. Complete this task 5 times and the treasure is yours! 
• Assassination: Follow your GPS signal towards three big boy Techrots VIPs who are just a bit too dangerous to leave standing. Hardy in nature, all that’s asked of you to ensure these marked targets are lined up and shot down.

Boosts: 

• Protective Shields: Squad receives invulnerability for 5 seconds, 10,000 Shields for 30 seconds.
• Fleet Footed: Squad gains increased Move Speed and Parkour Speed for 30 seconds.
• Situation Critical: Squad inflicts Red Critical hits for 30s. 
• Contents Unknown: Inflict a random Penalty on the opposing squad and bestow a random Boost on yours.
• Elemental Damage: Squad gains random elemental damage for 30s.
• Energy Regeneration: Squad Energy Regeneration, scales with Affinity Link and lasts 30s.
• Melee Lethality: Squad receives Melee Damage increase for 1 minute.
• Summon Kubrow: Summon a friendly Kubrow to assist in combat.
• Protea’s Aid: Summon Protea’s Dispensary. Like Protea’s ability, each player gets an instance of dropped items.
• Pause Enemies: Stops all enemies in their tracks for 20s.
• Gravity Wells: Creates miniature blackholes that pull in enemies.
• Pickup Radar: Mark pickups for 45 seconds.

Penalties: 

• Eximus Influx: Spawns 5 Eximus near a random player
• Danger Zones: Drop damaging zones on your enemy’s position for the rest of the match.

• Disabled Health Orbs: Health Orbs do not work for 60 seconds.

Rewards 

Rewards will generally be matched between those of winsville and of losertown, but rewards are doled out on a per-objective basis, meaning the winner will earn that extra third objective drop. Winners will also earn a little extra Vosfor!

Missions Rewards: Arcane, Vosfor & Steel Path Rewards

In both the Squad vs. Squad and Single Squad modes, Tenno can earn Vosfor, Arcanes, and Steel Essence (on the Steel Path) as the core mission rewards. 

Solo Squad Rewards: 

• Normal Path: 30 Vosfor OR 1 of the new Arcanes
• Steel Path: 1 of the new Arcanes & 2 Steel Essence 

Squad vs. Squad Rewards: 

In Squad vs. Squad, the Vosfor amounts are adjusted whether you win or lose! 

• Winner:
  • Normal Path: 
    • 30 Vosfor OR 1 Arcane
    • 30 Vosfor
  • Steel Path:
    • 50 Vosfor OR 1 Arcane
    • 2 Steel Essence
    • 50 Vosfor 
• Loser: 
  • Normal Path:
    • 30 Vosfor OR 1 Arcane 
  • Steel Path:
    • 50 Vosfor OR 1 Arcane 
    • 2 Steel Essence 

Rotation Rewards

Objective rewards are identical across both Squad VS Squad and Solo Squad!

Tenno can earn rewards for the 1st and 2nd objectives, with the winner of the 3rd objective receiving the extra small reward bump! Be wary, though — Tenno who don’t complete the 1st or 2nd objective won’t receive that specific rotation (which shouldn’t be an issue if you’re keeping up in the match!) You’ll receive the rewards in bulk at the end of the mission!

Squad vs. Squad & Solo Squad Rotation Rewards:

• 1st Objective: 
  • 2100 Endo
  • Meso Relics
  • Neo Relics
• 2nd Objective:
  • 2400 Endo
  • Neo Relics
  • Axi Relics

For a full list of drop chances in Faceoff, check out the official Warframe drop tables. 

Faceoff: Squad vs. Squad will similarly reward Conclave Standing per objective finished, meaning winners will earn objective 3’s Conclave Standing. 

• Normal Path 
  • 500 Conclave Standing for objective 1
  • 500 Conclave Standing for objective 2
  • 1000 Conclave Standing for objective 3
• The Steel Path
  • 750 Conclave Standing for objective 1
  • 750 Conclave Standing for objective 2
  • 1500 Conclave Standing for objective 3

Contingency Specters

If you’re the last one in your Squad in a Faceoff mission, you will be joined by a Specter teammate to help even out the odds —  gotta keep true to the “squad” in the mission name, after all. (This applies to both Single Squad and Squad vs. Squad matches)

Should the opposite team in Squad vs. Squad experience issues causing the entire squad to disconnect, the remaining Squad will be pitted against AI opponents so as to not disrupt their mission. You’ll receive a pop-up in-mission should that occur. 

And remember: the losing team has to make the other team a pizza!

Note for Squad vs. Squad matchmaking on Switch: There is a chance that if the Host is on Nintendo Switch the squad may disband after attempting to match into a lobby that doesn’t have enough slots. Since this fix requires code, we’ll have this resolved in the next Cert update.  
 

Legacyte Harvest (Endless) 

The Techrot hoards resources to grow and evolve its Legacytes, the big shots of the hive. Eleanor wants you to meet with Kalymos so that she can track down these beasts in the underbelly of Höllvania. Legacyte Harvest is an endless mission mode – the more Legacytes harvested, the more you’ll drain the Techrot of its spreading power!

How To Access 

Interact with the Pom-2 PC in the Orbiter or the Höllvania Garage and select the “NavNow” button to bring up the map.

Select Köbinn West to begin a Legacyte Harvest mission. 

How To Play

Meet Kalymos in the Höllvania streets to begin searching for Legacytes. Follow her into the underground and protect her while she sniffs them out. If Kalymos takes damage during her search, she will pause momentarily —  so keep her well-guarded to optimize your progress! Killed Techrot will drop Pheroglands, which can be picked up and brought to Kalymos to speed up the hunt.

Once her target is found, it’s time to hunt! Legacytes spawn with a unique modifier, making it even trickier to deal with. Weaken and harvest the Legacyte before it has a chance to escape using the Techrot Umbilix –destroy it to prevent it from doing so! If the Legacyte manages to escape successfully, Kalymos will lose the scent trail and you’ll be forced to extract. 

Once you have harvested a Legacyte, you can encourage Kalymos to track another one down, or head to extraction to earn your rewards. Beware that each new Legacyte will retain the modifiers of the Legacytes you harvested before it, in addition to its own modifier when it gestates. As you continue your harvest, your targets will become more difficult to take down, so prepare accordingly. 

Rewards

Starve the Techrot of vital nutrients by forcing it to create Legacyte after Legacyte and in doing so you shall be rewarded each time one is captured. Since this is an endless mission mode, rewards follow a AABCAABC rotation, with a chance of the following: 

• Höllars
• Endo
• Meso Relics
• Neo Relics
• Reconifex Component Blueprints
• Vesper 77 Component Blueprints 

For a full list of drop rates per rotation, visit the official Warframe drop tables. 

 

 

Assassination: H-09 Efervon Tank

Lieutenant Viktor Vodyanoi has sent out his tanks to maintain dominance over Höllvania. Find the H-09 Efervon Tank with Arthur’s guidance and take it down, but Viktor has some tricks up his sleeves to make sure it won’t be easy to get to.  

How To Access

Interact with the Pom-2 PC, select the “NavNow” button to bring up the map. Select Victory Plaza as your destination and be prepared to take on this big ol’ hunk of metal! 

How To Play 

Viktor has set up several barriers to keep you from locating the tank and putting it out of commission. In order to blow these blockages to smithereens, you’ll require the necessary firepower. 

Killed enemies drop Emergency Transponders that you’ll load into coda.worm.nomnom<v1.42> consoles* to call in Scaldra reinforcements that’ll have exactly what you need. 

They’ll descend from the sky and you’ll need to take them out to acquire their Thermian RPG. Pick up the RPG and fire it at the barrier! 

Clearing all barriers will bring you to the H-09 Efervon Tank arena where you can stick it to Viktor in a two-phase fight. 

*New Hacking Mini-Game: coda.worm.nomnom<v1.42> 

Worm hungry, worm nom, worm win! 

coda.worm.nomnom<v1.42> consoles are exclusively in the H-09 Efervon Tank Assassination mission. 

Move the coda worm to nomnom the symbols on the screen. Avoid the obstacles or else you’ll fail the game and have to restart! Collect all the symbols and you’ll successfully complete the hack. 

 

Controls: 

• Move: Move the worm with the Forward/Backwards/Left/Right bindings.
• Speed Boost: Hold “Jump” binding. Releasing will return it to the base speed. 

Ciphers can also be used to skip the game and automatically complete it. 

Rewards

• New Arcanes (dropped in-world from the H-09 Efervon Tank, so be sure to scoop them up!) 
• Höllars 
• Endo
• Meso Relics 

For a full list of drop rates, visit the official Warframe drop tables. 

Hell-Scrub: Scaldra/Techrot (Endless) 

Höllvania is being overrun by Techrot and Scaldra, and it’s time to break out the Hell-Scrubbers. 

How To Access

Interact with the Pom-2 PC in the Orbiter or the Höllvania Garage and select the “NavNow” button to bring up the map.

There are two Hell-Scrub mission nodes, one for each enemy faction in Höllvania: 

• Select Old Konderuk for Techrot 
• Select Mischta Ramparts for Scaldra 

How To Play

Hell-Scrub is a form of Survival mission, with a twist. Keep survivability high —  if it runs out the mission is over and it’s time to high-tail it outta there. Pick up SporeX Charges dropped by enemies and found in crates to gain 5% survivability, or activate a Hell-Scrubber for 30%! 

Due to the high levels of contamination, spores can build up on the Hell-Scrubbers. If a tower is at risk, it’ll appear red in your HUD, with a progress bar indicating its contamination level. Let it get to 100% and you’ve got bigger problems on your hands —  literally, a big fearsome Techrot Babau will spawn in its place. If you manage to kill a Babau it will provide a moderate amount of survivability, but not as much as a Hell-Scrubber if you had just managed to keep it clean. 

 

Rewards

While cleaning up the area with Hell-Scrubbers, you’re bound to find something to make it worth your while. Since this is an endless mission mode, rewards follow a AABCAABC rotation, with a chance of the following: 

• Höllars
• Endo 
• Meso Relics 
• Neo Relics
• Reconifex Components (built & blueprints) 
• Vesper 77 Component Blueprints 

Techrot Babaus also drop the following: 

• (New) Magnetized Cycle Mod
• (New) Magnetic Strafe Mod
• (New) Magnetic Core Mod 
• Endo 

For a full list of drop rates, visit the official Warframe drop tables. 

Exterminate: Techrot/Scaldra 

How To Access

Interact with the Pom-2 PC in the Orbiter or the Höllvania Garage and select the “NavNow” button to bring up the map.

Select Rhu Manor to Exterminate Techrot or Mausoleum East to Exterminate Scaldra.

How To Play

Head out into Höllvania, to clear the streets of any threats. While you’re cleaning the streets or the underground, keep an eye out for abandoned Scaldra Supply Caches! Be careful —  getting too close to a Cache begins its lockout sequence, you’ll have to crack it open with some nearby Effervon charges quickly or lose the loot! 

Rewards

As if making Höllvania a safer place isn’t reward enough, these are some of the possible rewards for completing an Exterminate mission: 

• Höllars
• Endo
• Experimental Arc-Relay
• Techrot Chitin
• Meso Relics 

Additionally, cracking open the Scaldra Supply Cache will reward you with one of the new Arcanes: 

• Arcane Bellicose
• Arcane Truculence
• Arcane Impetus
• Arcane Crepuscular
• Arcane Camisado 
• Primary Crux
• Secondary Enervate
• Melee Doughty

HÖLLVANIA BOUNTIES

The Exterminate, Hell-Scrub, Assassinate, and Legacyte Harvest missions are available to play as Bounties! 

How To Access Bounties

The Bounty board is located in the Höllvania Central Mall’s garage and can be interacted with to take you to the bounty select screen. 

 

You can use the “Bounty” Fast Travel option in the pause menu, or select it in the Gear Wheel.

 

What To Expect

Each Bounty is posted by a designated Hex member, who will also accompany you in the mission. As mentioned in the Romance & Relationship system section above, completing Bounties with Hex members will increase your Chemistry with them once per day (provided you have Instant Messaged them previously on KIM). 

Bounties can either have an additional objective (ex: destroy 5 automobiles) OR a difficulty modifier (ex: Techrot enemies exploding on death) assigned by the Hex member.

If you want to turn up the heat, there is a Steel Path toggle to apply its modifiers to and earn bonus Standing from the currently-posted Bounties. 

Rewards 

Successfully completing a Bounty will earn you Standing with The Hex Syndicate, as well as the following possible rewards: 

• Cyte-09 Component Blueprints
• Reconifex Main Blueprint 
• Vesper 77 Main Blueprint
• New Höllvania Resources 
• Hex Treasures 
• Endo 
• Aya
• Greater Focus Lens

NEW WARFRAME: CYTE-09

Move like a shadow, strike with force. The Orokin created a Warframe that marries damage and stealth to eliminate sensitive problems, but he disappeared in the chaos of their demise. All that remains is a batch name: Cyte-09.

Cyte-09’s Abilities

Passive

Each Weak Point Kill permanently increases Cye-09’s Weak Point Critical Chance by 1% up to 300%.

Ability 1: Seek

Plant an antenna that projects a forward wave scan. Detected enemies take increased Weak Point Damage, and become visible through walls. Weapons gain Punchthrough.

Ability 2: Resupply 

Throw two Elemental Ammo Packs that instantly refill the active weapon’s magazine, while granting the weapon an additional instance of the selected Elemental Damage and Status Effect. Reload clears the effect. Sniper Rifles gain extra damage.

Hold the ability to select the Elemental Damage type.

Resupply is Cyte-09’s Railjack Tactical ability. 

Ability 3: Evade

Jump backwards and become invisible for a short duration. Killing enemies extends the duration and heals Cyte-09.

Evada is Cyte-09’s subsummable Helminth ability. It is altered to have a capped maximum duration of 25 seconds. 

Ability 4: Neutralize

Summon the Neutralizer, Cyte-09’s exalted Sniper Rifle. Bullets ricochet off Weak Points to seek out other nearby Weak Points. Alt fire lobs a Cold grenade that completely freezes enemies.

NEW VEHICLE: ATOMICYCLE 

Ride the devil down, Tenno!

How to Acquire

Complete The Hex Quest to receive the Atomicycle Summon, which allows you to spawn it in Höllvania and Open Landscapes. 

How to Summon 

• In Höllvania: The Atomicycle Summon is automatically added to your Gear Wheel upon entering any Höllvania mission. To summon, open your Gear Wheel and select it. 
• In Open Landscapes: Equip the Atomicycle Summon into your Gear Wheel from your Arsenal before setting out to the open road in the Plains of Eidolon, Orb Vallis and the Cambion Drift. Those Grineer, Corpus and Infested won’t know how to process your coolness factor as you rip by them. 

Atomicycle Improvements

We read feedback on the Atomicycle’s controls from players who played through the 1999 Demo and made the following improvements (and then some!) based on those first impressions: 

• Updated the control scheme to be more intuitive to a driving sim.
  • Specific controls and their respective bindings are listed in the “Atomicycle Controls”section below. 
• Made several changes to the Atomicycle abilities (read the “Atomicycle Abilities” section below for full details!): 
  • Atomi-Bomb 
    • Changed from ability 2 to ability 4. 
    • Atomicycle will now target explosive barrels and enemies, and if it doesn’t make contact with anything, it will now explode after a brief moment. 
  • Added two new abilities: 
    • Atomi-Barrage (Ability 2): Atomicycle releases a barrage of target seeking missiles. 
    • Stealth Dismount (Ability 3): Launch off the Atomicycle and gain temporary invisibility. 
• Improved control of drift turns. 
  • We added a dead zone to drifting so that it is only initiated when actively turning in a given direction instead of at random while slightly turning. Previously, drifts would only use your camera so if you were looking slightly right but turning left, you would enter a right-facing drift. Now, it should feel more intentional when committing to drifting around a turn and reduce instances of sliding in random directions. Drifting will also slow down the speed over time and make the drifts feel weightier, so with these two things combined it should feel much easier to control overall! 
• Added a speed boost when exiting a drift turn.
  • When the boost is available you’ll see a VFX pulse at the back of the Atomicycle/wheel during the drift to indicate it is ready to be released. 
• Adjusted turn rate to make the Atomicycle more responsive and easier to control. 
• Improved Atomicycle handling with camera movement.
  • Now, when you are not accelerating, moving your camera will not affect the Atomicycle’s steering so that you can look around without risk of throwing yourself into a completely different direction unintentionally. Combined with the new control scheme, you should feel much more control when making turns. 
• The “Move Backwards” binding now decelerates the Atomicycle’s speed. If you continue to hold it once at a full stop, you will now back it up slowly. 
  • In the Demo, braking would initiate a U-turn instead of decelerating, which was unintuitive and made the Atomicycle difficult to control. 
• Reduced collision “stickiness” when making contact with objects, walls, sidewalk bumps, etc.
  • In the demo the Atomicycle would get stuck on even the smallest/slimmest of things (traffic signs, light poles, etc.), and it would take quite a bit of wiggling around to free you up again. Furthermore, hitting curbs and other movable objects would completely kill your momentum, which was obviously not ideal. Now, you should be able to cruise freely without fear of hitting those pesky curbs and barrels when traveling at a hundred miles an hour! 
• You can now spawn Atomicycle from your Gear Wheel mid-air! 
• You can now “aim glide” with the Atomicycle while mid-air! 
• Improved dismount animations so that the Atomicycle slows down to a realistic speed when dismount is initiated. 
• Improved animation transition blending between upright and banked turns. 
• “Thrill Ride” Nightwave Act now counts kills from Atomicycles. While you can’t whip out your secondary while riding (both hands on the steering, please!), the kills from your bike’s Abilities will contribute towards this Act! 

Atomicycle Controls

• Mount: Approach Atomicycle and use Context Action binding 
• Dismount: “Context Action” or“Melee Attack” binding 
• Accelerate Forward: “Move Forward” binding 
  • Releasing the binding decelerates the speed.
• Decelerate: “Move Backwards” binding
  • At full stop holding the binding will prompt Warframe to slowly back up Atomicycle.
• Move Left/Right: Move camera/reticle while accelerating
• Bank Left/Right: “Move Left/Right” binding
• Drift: “Hold to Crouch” binding + bank left/right
  • Atomicycle accelerates upon exiting the turn. 
  • You can also initiate a drift boost while parked! Simply hold the Drift binding and accelerate using the left/right movement bindings to set yourself zooming in that direction.  
• Speed Boost: “Sprint” binding 
• Bullet Jump: “Jump” binding while accelerating 
• Aim Glide: Hold “Aim Weapon” binding while mid-air

Atomicycle Abilities

Ability 1: Atomi-Boost 

Kick it into overdrive with a massive burst of speed, all while popping a wheelie. Any enemies in your Atomicycle’s path take damage and are knocked back. 

Ability 2: Atomi-Barrage

Target oncoming enemies with a barrage of micro missiles that inflict damage and leave targets vulnerable to further damage.

Ability 3: Atomi-Shadow

Jump off the Atomicycle and become invisible for a brief period. 

Ability 4: Atomi-Bomb

Jump off the Atomicycle and send it racing toward enemies or explosive barrels, where it will explode upon impact If no contact is made, it explodes after a brief delay.

Note: Since the Atomicycle is not a moddable vehicle by design, the above abilities cannot be ranked up or have their stats altered by upgrades. 

Atomicycle Customization

After completing The Hex Quest, your hot rod can be customized from handles to tires! Personalize your Atomicycle in a special spoiler location revealed in the Quest with one of the several Skins called “Livery” and change the colors to match your style.

You have 3 lives. Losing all 100 points of health will return you to where you were killed with one less life and will reset your score. Losing all 3 means Game Over! You can choose to either Try Again or Quit at that point. Selecting “Try Again” will take you back to where you died and reset your score. 

Extra lives can be earned by adding 150,000 points to your score.

• Laser Beam Rifle: Burn through targets with a continuous beam (drops from purple supply drone) 
• Rocket Launcher: Blast enemies with well-aimed rockets (teal supply drone) 

Once it reaches the end of its use, the weapon icon in the bottom left corner will blink before switching back to the default rifle. 

Controller Controls

GEMINI SERIES SKINS

Gemini Series Skins — the first-ever transforming Warframe Skins to grace your Arsenal — allows you to switch between your Warframe and its corresponding Protoframe on-the-fly by activating a unique Emote. 

Each Skin includes its own suite of fully voice-acted dialogue that is audible during gameplay. Available for use during any Mission, Gemini Series Skins are customizable, allowing you to deploy up to two distinct Fashion Frames at a time.

All of the Gemini Series Skins can be purchased for Platinum in the 1999 Gemini Pact Collection and are also part of the 1999 Complete Collection and Gemini Oath Collection, which can both be purchased with real-world currency and included Platinum.

*In our next Code build we will be adding an audio toggle to “Enable Gemini Skin Voices”, where upon disabling you won’t hear Gemini Skin voices at all (yours or squadmates) if you wish. We intended to have this in the 1999 Update but there were complications.

 

Arthur (Excalibur) Gemini Skin

How to Customize 

Go to your Warframe’s Appearance options in the Arsenal and equip the Gemini Skin onto their respective Warframe to customize as you normally would! 

Here are all the ways you can color customize your Gemini Skins:

• Base Body: Changed via the main skin color channels.
• Hair Color: There is an additional “Hair Color” tab in the Arsenal that’ll let you fully customize the Protoframe’s luscious locks to your liking. 
• Eye Color: Changed via the Energy color channel. 
• Tactical Gear/Accessories: Changed via the “Attachments” tab. 
  • Note: Some of the accessories are intentionally not tintable as they are core to the Protoframes character/story and we want to honor those in their Gemini Skin (ex: Quincy’s earrings, Amir’s Tammpet, etc.) 

There is an additional “Hair Color” option to customize the Hex member’s luscious locks to your liking. You can also alter their eye color by changing the Energy. 

Helmets cannot be equipped onto Gemini Skins – who would want to hide those beautiful faces! 

Appearance Configs

Your appearance configs are used differently depending on how you are switching between the Gemini Skin and Warframe using the Gemini Emote in mission: 

• Starting a mission with a Gemini Skin equipped and switching to Warframe will always use the appearance settings from Config A for your Warframe. 
• Starting a mission with another Warframe Skin (other than Gemini) and switching to Gemini Skin will always use the first Config that has it equipped. 
  • For example, if you have the Arthur Gemini Skin equipped in both Config B and C, it will use Config B in mission. 

How to Use Gemini Emote

Open Emote Gear Wheel and select the respective Gemini Emote for the Warframe you are using to swap to the skin. You can swap back and forth as many times as you like! 

Gemini Emotes can also be used with other Warframes, but only the animation sequence will play.

WARFRAME CHANGES: TRINITY & NYX

Trinity Changes

A large part of Trinity’s changes involve increasing her overall duration and changing most of them to be cast while moving. In revisiting her kit, we’ve also added scalability and additional functionalities to some of her Abilities to increase their usefulness to both Trinity and her allies.

New Passive

• Trinity and any allies within Affinity Range will gain 50% of Trinity’s Max Energy as Health. (25% in Conclave) 

Ability 1: Well Of Life

Well of Life struggles the most in a game where enemy damage can outmatch its healing. To address this, we’re allowing Trinity to cast multiple Wells to increase its healing output, and are adding a way for her to negate lethal damage for herself and allies. 

• Can now be cast on 3 enemies total (previously was only 1).
• If Trinity or Allies (or their Companions) die within the radius of the Well, the death is negated and the Well ends. 
  • The saved player is fully healed and experiences a brief period of invulnerability.
  • Saved players experience a 60s cooldown before they can be saved by Well of Life again (120s for Helminth version). This cooldown is indicated via an icon in their HUD. 
  • Added SFX and pop-up to indicate to a player when they have been Saved by the Well. 
• Can now be cast while moving.
• Increased Radius from 15 to 20m.
• Increased Duration from 12 to 20s.
• Improved animation so the enemy being lifted aligns better with Trinity’s hand motions. 
• Added a delay for recasting to avoid accidental dismissal. 

Ability 2: Energy Vampire

Energy Vampire is an outlier in Trinity’s kit, where players are incentivized to build for negative Duration to maximize how quickly enemies emit four pulses of energy. We are removing the cap on energy pulses, and have changed Energy Vampire to better scale with Duration: 

 

• Energy Vampire is no longer capped at 4 Energy Pulses. Pulses are now released at a set Interval for the duration of the Ability.
• The Pulse Interval (ie. how often enemies emit energy) can no longer exceed 2.25s, meaning positive Duration is more viable for Energy Vampire usage. Increasing Duration will also increase the number of energy pulses released by the enemy, since they are now emitted at set intervals. 
  • We’ve added a Pulse Interval stat to the Ability screen to help players build around this mechanic.
  • Negative Duration will still decrease the Pulse Interval and Ability Duration, so traditional Energy Vampire builds should be largely unaffected by this change. In fact, at 13% Duration, this Ability still releases 4 rapid-fire Pulses that EV players know and love. 
• Players can now recast this Ability, causing the previous target to be released. 
• Can now be cast while moving.

Here’s an example of what a High Duration build looks like with these changes:

 

Vampire Leech Augment:

• Increased Shield Regen from 150% to 225%. 

Ability 3: Link

Link is one of Trinity’s stronger Abilities, so its changes are quality of life focused to bring it up to current Warframe standards:

• Trinity can now recast Link while it is active, and cast it while she is moving.
• The number of Link’s targets now scales with Power Strength. 
• Increased Duration from 12 to 20s.
• Updated “Damage Reduction” stat to say “Damage Redirection” since you are passing it onto your foes!

Ability 4: Blessing

Like with Link, Blessing is also one of Trinity’s stronger Abilities, so its changes are quality of life focused to bring it up to current Warframe standards:

 

• Increased Duration from 10 to 15s. 
• Damage Resistance from Blessing now persists upon recast. (this only applied to a few seconds during the start of the recast, but any loss of DR can be killer — literally.

Champion’s Blessing Augment:

• Increased Duration from 12s to 30s.

Nyx Changes

Nyx does not directly deal damage herself, but instead spreads chaos across the battlefield —  causing her very foes to turn on each other. We are keeping this theme as the core of her Abilities, and have made changes to increase the lethality of this chaos. 

New Passive

• Nyx gains +40% Critical Chance on her Primary and Secondary weapons per Confused* enemy within Affinity range, up to a cap of +200%.
  • * specifically enemies suffering from Radiation’s status effect (Confusion) and Nyx’s Mind Control target

Ability 1: Mind Control

Since Mind Control is a single-target ability, we want to help turn your Mind Controlled foe into a killing machine —  coupled with a few quality-of-life additions to ensure players maximize their use of this ability.  

• Nyx’s Mind Control Target will more aggressively attack foes and deal guaranteed Radiation Procs on their attacks. 
  • Mind Control Targets are also crowd-control immune (like foes with Overguard) to optimize their time rampaging. For this reason, any crowd-control effects are also cleared from the target upon casting. 
  • Targets will also prioritize the enemies Nyx is aiming at!
  • Increased the max distance before your Target will teleport to you from 20m to 60m (matching Caliban’s Lethal Progeny).
• Mind Control targets are now highlighted like a summon to help you keep track of them, and Nyx will now see their damage numbers. 
• Added a HUD element when casting Mind Control that displays the duration and % of Bonus Damage done by your Target.
  • This HUD element will display a flashing particle effect when the Target absorbs incoming damage. 
  • Once the ability expires, this element will also briefly show the total damage dealt by your Target.
  • Mind Control’s duration will not start counting down until AFTER the 4 second “absorption” window has passed. 
• Nyx retains the functionality of recasting this Ability to release her original Target, but if done while targeting another enemy, Mind Control will now immediately cast on them.  
• Increased Mind Control’s base damage bonus from +500% to +750%.
• Increased Mind Control’s base duration from 45s to 60s. 

Mind Freak

• Increased bonus damage applied to Mind Control Target from +500% to +1000%. 

Ability 2: Psychic Bolts

Psychic Bolt’s strongest aspect is its ability to strip defenses. We’ve expanded on that by a) letting Nyx benefit from the defenses she strips and b) adding a means for Psychic Bolts to spread from enemy to enemy, adding to the overall chaos. 

• Killing an enemy affected by Psychic Bolts will cause two more Bolts to spread from it to unaffected targets. 
• Now displays Ability duration upon casting.  
• Nyx earns a fixed amount of defenses she removes with Psychic Bolts. This effect persists for 20 seconds (scaling with Duration) and its duration refreshes when further defenses are stripped. The amount of defenses earned —  and the Armor/Overguard cap —  scales with Ability Strength. 
  • 25 Armor per Armored enemy, up to a cap of 1,000.
  • 75 Shields per Shielded enemy, up to the Overshield Cap (1,200).
  • 500 Overguard per enemy with Overguard, up to a cap of 7,500. 

Pacifying Bolts Augment

• Pacifying Bolts now applies 1 stack of Radiation upon hit. 

Ability 3: Chaos

Our goal was to leave Chaos largely unchanged, with a single tweak:

 

• Chaos applies 10 Radiation Stacks for the duration of the Ability, instead of simply applying Confusion. This means that Chaos’d enemies will now deal 100% bonus damage to your enemies. 
  • For clarity, Confusion is the name of Radiation’s Status Effect. 

Ability 4: Absorb

Absorb in its current state requires enemies to be shooting at you —  for a Warframe designed around making your enemies shoot at each other, this Ability felt at-odds with the rest of Nyx’s kit. 

• Absorb is now a duration-based ability: cast it to absorb all surrounding damage for 5 seconds (scales with Duration) and redirect it in a radial explosion. 
  • Instead of only absorbing damage directed at you, the damage of Confused enemies will also be affected by Absorb. This allows for increased synergy with Chaos and Mind Control, since those foes will no longer be excluded from this ability.
  • Since it is no longer a channelled ability, the “Drain 8 energy per 1000 Damage Absorbed” mechanic has been removed.
• Nyx will also be able to ascend and descend while in Absorb, using jump and crouch!
• For every 5,000 damage Absorbed, Nyx will remain Invulnerable for 1s after Absorb ends, up to a cap of 6s. 
• Added Weapon Damage Cap to the Ability stats for visibility. 

Assimilate Augment:

• Assimilate retains its infinite duration!
• Since we have removed the energy drain per 1000 Damage Absorbed, we have increased the energy cost from 4 to 6.5 per second to compensate.
• Added energy drain stat to the Mod description since it no longer applies to the base Ability. 
• Nyx can now jump while Assimilate is active.
• Reduced blurring VFX.

INFESTED ANCIENT CHANGES

As we worked on the Techrot faction, many of the enemies drew inspiration from their Infested counterparts. During development, the Techrot variants received some significant design changes that we felt were appropriate to apply to their progenitors as well —  namely the Infested Ancients. 

NOTE: these changes apply to all Ancient variants in the Origin System.

Toxic Ancient

Warframes who rely on Shields for survivability have one fear and it’s Toxic Ancients. These foes are infamous for their ability to melt even the beefiest Hildryn, regardless of the mission level. 

The following changes intend to address two issues with Toxic Ancients: a) how lethal their attacks could be, and b) how difficult they were to avoid due to minimal telegraphing. 

• Removed their Toxic Aura.
  • This Aura granted themselves and nearby allies Toxic damage and Toxic resistance. 
  • Toxic Ancients have retained their Toxin resistance and this resistance is now indicated in their health label. 
• Replaced Toxic Roar Ability with a Toxic Flail that delivers a guaranteed Toxic Proc. 
  • This Ability is borrowed from the new Techrot Obsolyte unit, with clear wind-up animation that players can react to. 
• Swapped their color profile to a yellow-ish green.
• Toxic Ancient’s model has been updated to include a spiny protrusion on their upper back to help visually distinguish them from other Ancients. 

Ancient Disruptor

Ancient Disruptors acted like quasi-Energy Leech Eximus with their energy draining aura. This update refocuses their design to be disruptive via the use of Magnetic Procs.

• Removed their Disruption Aura.
  • This Aura granted themselves and nearby allies with increased Energy Drain on attacks, and resistance to Warframe Abilities (reducing both their damage and duration on affected targets).
  • Ancient Disruptors retain an innate resistance to Warframe Abilities. 
• Added a new Spinning Arm Attack that deals guaranteed Magnetic Procs. 
  • You may also recognize this from the Techrot Obsolyte’s kit!
• Ancient Disruptor’s model has been updated to include a tangled mess of infestation on their upper back to help visually distinguish them from other Ancients. 

Ancient Healer

Ancient Healers increased the survivability of surrounding units in a variety of ways — offering Overguard and healing over time —  but ultimately their true effectiveness was tied to Overguard. With this redesign, we are separating out their Overguard ability to add to a new unit (details in the Ancient Protector section below), and focusing on the Healer part of their kit. 

• Removed their ability to give Overguard to Allies. 
• Updated Healing Pulse ability to scale better at higher levels.
  • Effect now heals allies within range 20% of their max health per second for 4 seconds.
  • Pulse now also clears status effects from allies within range. 
• Swapped their color profile to a light green to match the expected color profile for healing characters. 
• Ancient Healer’s model has been updated to include plant-like protrusions on their upper back to help visually distinguish them from other Ancients. 

NOTE: Ancient Healer Specters operate differently than their enemy counterpart and are not affected by these changes. The 90% Damage Reduction is remaining, but we are changing their name and model to match the Ancient Protector since their functionality is more in-line with that unit. 

Ancient Protector

As mentioned above, we have taken the Ancient Healer’s Overguard Ability and moved it to a new unit entirely: the Ancient Protector! Players will encounter this new enemy wherever other Ancients spawn. 

• Ancient Protectors emit a 10-meter aura that provides all allies with its range with Overguard.
• Their aura-projection and general attacks mirror that of the Ancient Healer. 
• These enemies emit a greyish-blue aura and feature a series of rings protruding from its back to distinguish them from other Ancients.

ADDITIONS 

• Added two new cursor options! Legacy Warframe & 1999 Pom-2
  • To change your cursor, go to your settings > Accessibility > Scroll down to Interface > Select the “Mouse Cursor” option. Changing the 1999 Pom-2 cursor will also apply when using it in the Pom-2 itself! 
• Added a new login warning e-mail when new logins are detected from an account that doesn’t have TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication enabled.
  • We highly recommend all players enable 2FA on their accounts, but as an added security measure we will now send a notification to the email associated with your account when new logins occur. 
• Added new Accolade Glyphs for Tenno who display certain feats of strength.

CHANGES 

• Made the following improvements to character eyes, skin and hair (Operator/Drifter included!): 
  • Made improvements to hair and fur shading for a more realistic lighting response. Hair should now look more realistic – this is especially apparent with The Hex members. 
    • We also improved hair and fur shading in tilesets that do not have GI lighting. 
    • Fixed hair/fur looking black in certain places in the Orbiter. 
  • Improved the Drifter/Operator Cut 040 hairstyle to better match the icon. 
  • Improved eye reflections to look more realistic. 
    • Also improved cases of eyes appearing pitch-black in certain lighting conditions.
  • Improved skin shaders to make the subsurface scattering more realistic.
    • Also slightly improved skin shading in GI Lighting.
  • Improved textures and models for the Holdfasts on the Zariman 10-0.
• Improved Operator Chair lighting when zoomed in to customize the head/hair.
• Updated Rhino’s Stomp VFX to better show the range that enemies will be suspended when cast.        
• Updated Ergo Glast’s Tenet Weapon vendor screen to make it easier to browse available offerings. 
  • You can now visually see all of the available Tenet Weapons in the left column. Selecting a weapon will display its information (description, Bonus and general stats) in the same window.
• Changed Hildryn’s Pillage Shield strip to be more in line with other Shield strip abilities where it actually strips the Shield instead of doing damage to the Shield. That way it doesn’t get stopped by Overguard or get modified by Damage Resistance.
• Re-enabled Koumei’s Omikuji challenges to count kills made by squadmates if the final killing blow is dealt within two seconds of Koumei dealing damage to the target. 
  • We originally added this interaction in Hotfix 37.0.4, but due to rampant crashes caused by it we had temporarily disabled it in Hotfix 37.0.5, since the fixes required code. Now the crash fixes are here, we have re-enabled assists for Omikuji! 
• Increased the invulnerability period after Nezha’s Warding Halo breaks from 1 second to 2 seconds. 
  • Also fixed Nezha not being left with 2 health after Warding Halo is broken if the damage he received was enough to be a lethal blow.
  • These changes should address cases of players being one-shot with Warding Halo active, and should give Nezha players more time to react in lethal situations. 
• Changed the “Slow Motion” Captura setting to “Game Speed,” which will allow you to slow AND speed up the game to better help photographic (or videographic) Tenno capture their visions! The following options are available to choose from: 
  • 0.1 – 0.5x, and 0.8x
  • 1.2x
  • 2.0x
  • 3.0x
  • 5.0x
• Added “Owned” checkmark to the on-hover popup when viewing Arcanes in the Arcane Dissolution screen. The count will specifically show the amount of a specific-ranked Arcane you own. 
• Elemental Damage from the Thermal Transfer and Valence Formation Augments will now be added parallel to your weapon’s Elemental Damage, instead of creating Combined Elemental Damage types. 
  • This also applies to Mods that apply Elemental damage to Ally weapons, like Fireball Frenzy, Shock Trooper, Anabolic Pollination, and Freeze Force. 
  • This was changed for relevant Decrees and Saya’s Visions Blessings with 37.0.7, and now also applies to these Augments!
• Forced Status Effects are now displayed in the on-hover Status tooltip in the Arsenal. 
  • Known Issue: some forced Status Effects are not properly reflected in this tooltip, which we hope to address in 2025.
• Made the following changes to the Helminth Feed screen:
  • Added a “Cancel Feed?” confirmation popup when exiting Helminth feeding screen to prevent players from accidentally exiting after making selections. 
  • Moved the “Feed” button out from the right bottom bar and over into the center bottom of the screen below Helminth. 
• Made the following changes to “perfect reload” weapons (Sirocco and the new Reconifex):
  • Added a small grace period at the beginning of the reload to help make it easier to land. 
  • Updated the look of the reticle to make it easier to see. 
• Increased particle count and smoke VFX for Anabolic Pollination to make its effects more visible.
• All Companions and Summons will now show damage numbers for their attacks. These originally appeared on a case-by-case basis, but now it is standardized. 
  • Players who do not want to see Companion and Summon damage numbers can turn them off with the new “Show Damage Numbers for Non-Player Allies” toggle in your settings. 
• The Duviri Paradox Quest is now classified as a Main Quest in the Codex!
• Added videos demonstrating Volt, Mag, and Excalibur’s passives to their Abilities screen. 
• Koumei’s Health bar now goes gray when casting Omamori with triple sixes to indicate she is invulnerable. 
• Polished various animations in the Koumei Agile Animation Set. 
• Improved sunlight shadowing and fixed issues with contact shadows. 
• Improved how NPCs move and react when attempting to jump against a sloped wall or overhang. 
• Updated Harkonar Scope’s Mod description to read: “+Xs Combo Duration,” (removed the “when Aiming” bit) as the Mod extends Combo Duration outside of aiming.
• Changed the Loot Detector Aura Mod to display range in meters, now reading: “Squad receives +Xm Loot Radar.”
• Improved weakpoint hitboxes on the Deimos Carnis. 
• Added additional weakpoints to Infested Chargers and Swarm/Tar Mutalists (ex: Chargers now have a weakpoint on their Grineer head) and made overall improvements to their weakpoint hitboxes. 
• Removed “Orion” from the Red Veil Railjack Crew name generator (for spoiler reasons – those who know know). 
• Adjusted the volume of Dante’s abilities. 
• Increased Affinity earned from Affinity Orbs from 100 to 1000.
• While playing an area or mission with Gear restrictions (ex: Relays), affected items will be marked with a new restricted icon in your Gear Wheel!
• Increased Vosfor’s priority in the End of Mission resources list, so it’ll appear near the top! 
• Updated the Octavia Iridos Skin’s icon.

• Fixed being unable to shoot or cast abilities as Yareli after being staggered or knocked down while riding Merulina.

  • This was a rare case where if you, for example, dealt a Toxin Status Effect without any Toxin Damage, you’d see a big grey zero next to the Toxin Status icon on all nearby enemies. This was misleading and made it seem that the enemy was invulnerable to damage and that the Status was not transferring, when in fact it was just not dealing any damage directly. So we’ve removed that zero from appearing when dealing no damage and now you will just see the Status Effect icon when transfer has been successful.
