Hotfix 31.7.2

August 18th, 2022 Forum Post - Khora Prime: Hotfix 31.7.2

Before we begin paving the way for our next major Update: Veilbreaker, we wanted to bring some additions to your Arsenal and a couple Quality of Life changes! The team will be Hotfixing where necessary in order to clear the path for Veilbreaker.

SYNDICATE MEDALLION QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES

Originally introduced in Update 15, the Syndicate system brought new characters (where my Cressa Tal fans at??) and a handful of new goals within the system. Part of that system included the eventual introduction of Syndicate Medallions; unique objects gathered within missions to redeem for their respective Standing.

Fast forward to 2022 and Update 31.5 Angels of the Zariman introduces the Holdfast Syndicate and their respective Medallions; Voidplumes. While the Medallion system itself is not new, the Zariman tilesets spurred conversations around individual vs team wide pickups due to the grandeur size of the tilesets themselves. The feedback we received from the community expressed pain points related to necessary backtracking in order to collect the Plumes, which meant deviating from the Objective and causing longer than necessary mission times in order to collect them all. Similar pain points were what brought forth the squad-wide pickup change to Railjack.

With that being said, Syndicate Medallions (6x Core Syndicates + Angels of the Zariman missions) are now a team-wide pickup, meaning any Medallion picked up benefits the entire squad and no backtracking is required! This also applies to Voidplumes dropped from Angels and Medlica’s Cache to keep everything consistent. We’ve also removed the ability to waypoint the pickups since there’s no need to individually find them.


As an additional lateral change, Riven Challenges for Syndicate Medallion collecting have been changed to be Solo specific and the amount reduced to 8-12 instead of 12-16. Already existing Rivens won’t adopt this change but will instead lose any complicated conditions and just be “Find X Medallions”.


RAILJACK QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES - ASH & OBERON

While maintaining our original intentions to connect Railjack to some more ‘core Warframe’ style rewards, we’ve made a few changes to have Ash components be more new player friendly for those starting their Railjack journey. Having them live only in Rotation C brought feedback of accessibility concerns for newer players trying to complete their Ash build. While Oberon parts do drop in new player friendly areas, having his Neuroptics reside within the Veil Proxima was a steep climb to have a chance at collecting all the parts you need.

  • Added Ash components to Corpus Railjack Exterminate/Volatile (4.82 - 4.88% chance), reducing Endo drops slightly.
  • Added Ash components to Corpus Railjack Survival/Defense Rotation A (13.33% chance), reducing Endo drops slightly & rearranging the drop % of rotation C.
  • Moved Oberon Neuroptics from Veil Proxima to Earth, reducing Endo drops slightly and rearranging the drop %.
Changes:
  • Replaced the duplicate Meso H2 Relic dropping in Tier 2 Defense with the correct Meso H3 Relic.

  • Fixed missing explosion sound on Akarius projectiles.

NOTE: the Lavos Kuvael Alchemist Skin by Erneix shipped with the liquid fx missing in the back flask and in the main glass helmet. The artist's original intent was for liquid to be in these two sections, and after communicating with the artist we will be correcting the liquid fx as soon as possible.

Hotfix 31.6.4

July 14, 2022 Forum Post - Nora’s Mix Vol.2: Hotfix 31.6.4

We are two days away from the big day! Do you have your snacks and drinks ready for a day of Warframe reveals? TennoCon 2022 kicks off Saturday, July 16th @ 12 PM ET over at twitch.tv/warframe!

Aside from what’s listed below, this Hotfix contains some behind the scenes changes as we gear up for TennoCon. We’ll see you on the 16th, Tenno!

Nora'sChoiceVol2Banner

NIGHTWAVE: NORA’S MIX VOL. 2:

Insert Disc 2.

"It's that time again, Dreamers."

While Nora may like change in the System, she’s not one to stop the party when things are going her way. Introducing Nora’s Mix Vol. 2 - Starting Sunday, July 17 @ 8pm ET!

Similar to Vol. 1, Nora’s Mix Vol. 2 will continue our design goals for Nightwave. We still want to add new weekly goals for Tenno to complete, while being able to focus on our 2022 development goals! You can read more about our Nightwave philosophy in our post earlier this year!

Like previous editions of Nightwave, we have included duplicate protection for rewards that you have already unlocked. Identical to Nora’s Mix Vol. 1, Tenno can expect to be compensated with Nora’s Mix Vol. 2 Creds instead of the previous unlocked reward.

New Acts!

We are including 3 new Weekly Acts and 1 new Elite Weekly Act for those returning home. If you know... you know.

New weekly Acts include...

Eternal Guardian Complete 3 Void Armageddon missions.

High Ground Complete 3 Void Flood Missions.

Zariman Bounty Hunter Complete 4 different Bounties in the Zariman.

And for the skillful, an Elite Weekly Act...

Fallen Angel Defeat 5 Void Angels in the Zariman.

  • This can be achieved either solo or while in a squad. If your squad defeats the Void Angel, every member will have the Act completed, regardless of if they dealt the final blow.

For any Tenno that have not yet completed Angels of the Zariman, these challenges are hidden to prevent any potential spoilers! We have also removed the Elite Weekly Act ‘Silent Eliminator’ which required you to complete a level 30 Exterminate without triggering alarms.

New Rewards!

A mix of new rewards are coming alongside a hand-picked selection of rewards from previous Nightwave series!

Nightwave Ship Decoration A mini-decoration of the Nightwave Landing Craft.

Noggle Statue - Nora Night A small statue of a person larger than life.

Nora Night Glyph Pack Complete your profile with a pair of Nora Night Glyphs - “Style baby!”

Weapon Augments (stats below are shown at max rank)

  • Critical Precision (Tiberon): Burst Fire Only: Headshots increase Critical Chance by 10% up to 500%. Missing with all shots in a burst removes up to 100% of this bonus Critical Chance.
  • Vile Discharge (Embolist): Damage is accumulated up to 30,000. Use Alt-fire to launch an explosive vile sac dealing and resetting the accumulated damage.

Nightwave Operator Collection Nora’s got the goods for you lucky Dreamers with this stylish collection of the Nightwave Suit, Sleeves, and Leggings.

Nightwave Earpieces A fashionable accessory only a Tenno could adorn.

Necramech Statue Adorn your Orbiter with this decoration representing a Necramech.

The following items have also been added to the Cred Offerings shop:

Nightwave Ornament A decoration for all you Dreamers out there.

Gyre Automaton Helmet Blueprint Electrifying style coming in hotter than lighting!

Changes:
  • Riven Disposition Changes: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1316039-july-2022-riven-dispositions/
    • As with each round of Prime Access come updated Riven Disposition numbers - tune into TennoCon on July 16th to learn who is the next Prime Warframe!
  • Lohk Surge buffs will now apply to the whole squad instead of only when within Affinity Range of the player who activates it.
  • Energy and Health Orbs can now be picked up, even if you have maxed out Energy, during the “Any Energy Orbs picked up grant 1 Energy per second for the rest of the mission” and “Any Health Orbs picked up grant 25 max Health for the rest of the mission” Lohk Surge buffs.
  • Reduced the price of the Kubrow Starter Kit from 65 Platinum to 50.
    • Stasis Slots and DNA Stabilizers were removed from the game in Update 28 and also from the Kubrow Starter Kit, but the price was not adjusted to reflect this change. That said, we will be running a script to refund the 15 Platinum difference for players that had purchased the pack after the changes on June 11th, 2020. We will update here when the script has completed.
  • The Hystrix now has signature effect of an 8% chance to instantly reload after landing headshots when wielded by Khora.
  • The Dual Keres now has a 20% Heavy Attack Efficiency when wielded by Khora.
  • Kuva Trokarians are now susceptible to CC abilities after their Overguard protection has been removed.
    • By design, Kuva Trokarians pre-Overguard had immunities/resistances from another source outside of Overguard that were still active once it was removed by players. They now follow the same logic as other enemies with Overguard.
  • Swapped the Saryn Junction Specter sniper rifle for a different rifle type that has been balanced for AI.
  • Swapped the Frost Specter (Earth-Mars) and Loki Specter (Uranus-Neptune).
  • Swapped the Landing Craft ‘Orokin Eye’ Air Support icon for marked loot from the default marker to the Orokin Eye icon.
  • Radiation Hazard will no longer appear with Interception mission Sorties.
    • It is simply just not fun for everyone to get Radiation proc’d while all standing together to capture a tower.
  • Added a marker to Warframe impaled by Void Angel for better visibility.
  • Improved hit detection when damaging the Void Angel ground spike.
Fixes:
  • Fixed the Phenmor’s “50% more Incarnon charge on headshots” Evolution IV perk not working.
  • Charging to Incarnon mode was taking 12 hits regardless of if you had this Evolution perk or not. Now, charging will take 12 hits if you do not have this perk, and 8 hits if you do.
  • Fixed stackable buffs for Galvanized Scope/Crosshair being removed all at once when the first stack's time runs out.
    • Also fixed Arcanes that have decaying stacks losing all their bonus when a stack expires.
  • Fixed being unable to use manual blocking while in melee-only mode, or use aim+attack melee combos, unless you are also using the ‘Hold to Aim Weapon’ in the Accessibility options.
    • We reverted back to its original functionality where melee could toggle into blocking mode when ‘Hold to Aim Weapon’ was disabled.
  • Fixes towards Railjack crew members assigned to Pilot not trying to destroy mission targets while you’re away.
    • This may still occur rarely but it’s a different issue than the bug which caused them to never try at all. We’d appreciate your videos and detailed bug reports if you encounter POIs that crew members do not correctly engage.
  • Fixed an issue where jumping out of a mantle animation wouldn't give you any vertical velocity.
    • Previously, if you came across a scalable object, your Warframe would attempt to climb over the object. Pressing the jump button during this action would cause your Warframe to somersault downwards and fall. We have now adjusted the animation to propel the Warframe upwards to allow you to easily climb over the object and maintain your momentum.
  • Fixed more issues with Skittergirl pathing in the Zariman tileset.
  • Fixed Rank 3 or above Molt Augmented and Molt Reconstruct Arcanes not giving extra Warframe revives.
    • Also fixed the Molt Arcanes and Arcane Pulse not indicating that they will give an extra Warframe revive at Rank 3 and up.
    • Also fixed an issue where being over capacity on mods was unforgiving, preventing even mods with zero drain from applying (ex. arcanes).
  • Fixed “Can Refresh” label appearing in the UI for Arcanes that do not have a Duration element to it.
  • Fixed the stat change for Incarnon weapons that have crit/status chance Evolution upgrades not appearing in the Arsenal.
  • Fixed the Emergence Savior Arcane giving Clients immortality after they die instead of triggering on death.
  • Fixed the Cascadia Empowered Arcane buffs applying to Companion or Sentinel weapons.
  • Fixed an additional filter option appearing in Captura while using a controller.
  • Fixed loss of functionality due to poor connection when Client dies in Necramech.
  • Fixed Clients getting stuck in a black screen indefinity after Host Migration in Zariman missions.
  • Fixed Clients getting permanently stuck in the Zariman elevator if they abort when the Void Angel’s Health bar spawns.
  • Fixed another case of back to back Zariman Extermination missions auto completing after Host migration occurs in the first mission.
  • Fixed hitting a fish with the wrong spear causing them to be indefinitely uncatchable afterwards.
  • Fixed being unable to pick up Energy Orbs after casting Zephyr’s Airburst while Zenurik’s Inner Might is active.
  • Fixed skins applying to the Innodem’s Incarnon mode form.
  • Fixed issues where enemies may prefer to jump up and down to cross the elevator shaft, instead of just going around on the same level in the Zariman tileset.
  • More fixes towards cases where an Arbitration Drone's aura might persist even after it was destroyed.
  • Fixed Raptor not spawning in its Assasination mission if Host migration occurs after it appears for the first time.
  • Fixed sound settings not being respected when driving over water with K-Drive. Splish splash was too loud.
  • Fixed descriptions for Lohk Surges in-mission appearing as stars when playing in certain languages.
  • Fixed certain Blink Pads in open landscapes losing functionality.
  • Fixed the left Kukri Prime Leg Guard offset appearing weirdly on Saryn Prime and various of her skins.
  • Fixed the Protovyre Leg Armor clipping through Harrow Prime.
  • Fixed Prosecutor enemies being incorrectly named as ‘Guardian Eximus’ in the Simulacrum menu.
  • Fixes towards rare cases where the launcher might show negative download size left when certain types of network error interrupt the download.
  • Fixed Dojo levels reloading after placing/canceling a new room and not spawning the player in front of the door for said room.
  • Fixed an issue where the Molt from the Saryn Junction Specter would stay behind after the player respawns, causing her to target it instead of the player.
  • Fixed another case of the Thrax Centurion going into an invulnerable crouch state instead of going into their Void form.
  • Fixed the Arcanes in Cavalero’s Offerings appearing under the ‘Mods’ category. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1314743-cavalero-shop-has-the-wrong-category/
  • Fixed the Drekar Ballista missing arms.
  • Fixed a certain spot in the Grineer Sealab tileset resetting Warframe to a new spawn point face down.
  • Fixed doors not opening to go back up to the surface during the Exploiter Orb fight.
    • Also fixed crash related to this.
  • Fixed script error that could occur when activating an enemy encounter in the Orb Vallis.
  • Fixed script error when building the Operator Vahd Apparel blueprint in the Foundry.
  • Fixed script error with Vauban’s Tesla Nervos.
  • Fixed script error with Lohk Surges.
  • Fixed script error with custom UI themes.
  • Fixed script error when casting Nidus’ Ravenous in the Simulacrum and then switching Warframes via Arsenal before the Maggots explode.
  • Fixed script error with Harrow’s Penance.

Hotfix 31.6.3

June 16th, 2022 Forum Post - Echoes of the Zariman: Hotfix 31.6.3

TennoCon 2022 is fast approaching (July 16th)! This is potentially the last Hotfix we will be putting out before we put all our focus exclusively on the TennoCon build (unless there is an emergency hotfix needed). While this Hotfix is small, it contains some “before the weekend” fixes and back-end prep for tomorrow’s Relay Stress Test during Baro’s appearance - hope to see you there!

Additions:
  • Optimizations:
  • Made micro-optimizations to memory use for certain types of special effects.
  • Made systemic micro-optimizations to memory usage for all platforms.
  • Improved the Twitch Drop inbox notifications when delivered.
Changes:
Fixes:
  • Fixed slow rolling speed in Dog Days missions. We cleaned up our molasses spill, sorry about that.
  • Fixed camera becoming frozen after viewing Wish List in the Profile menu.
  • Fixed script error with Vauban’s Minelayer HUD UI.
  • Fixed script error with Wukong’s Passive.
  • Fixed script error with Protea’s Temporal Anchor.
  • Fixed a script error that could occur if Zenurik's Disarming Sling hit a player under the effects of a Radiation proc.
  • Fixed a script error from HUD after Host migration.
  • Fixed several script errors in the Void Armageddon mission including one related to the Argozene Drops.

Hotfix 31.6.2

June 15th, 2022 Forum Post - Echoes of the Zariman: Hotfix 31.6.2

TennoCon 2022 is fast approaching (July 16th)! This is potentially one of the last Hotfixes we will be putting out before we put all our focus exclusively on the TennoCon build (wink wink nudge nudge). Our focus for these Hotfixes is to tend to feedback from Echoes of the Zariman before we change gears. Friendly reminder that we have a Relay Stress Test https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1314264-baro-relay-stress-test-6172022/ during Baro’s appearance this Friday in preparation for TennoCon - hope to see you there!

Changes:

Optimizations:

Fixed big refreshing delays when opening the Nightwave Challenges screen.

  • Changes:
  • Updated the grip position on the Ferlarx’s Incarnon mode model.  
  • Reduced the Standing cost of the Zariman Test Tube Station from 40k to 4k.
    • Seems we let an extra 0 slip through on this one! This was not intended, as 40k Standing is STEEP for some test tubes. So we have brought it down in line with the rest of Hombask’s decor offerings. For those you have purchased the Zariman Test Tube Station at its original 40k Standing price up until now, an inbox message will be sent to you with 18x Voidplume Crest for each Test Tube Station purchased. We will update you on when that script will be run.
  • Helminth Weapon Damage Invigorations will now no longer apply to Dog Days missions.
    • Dog Days was always intended to have everyone on the same level to enjoy some summer fun! The ability to increase the Soaktron’s damage via Invigorations went against that principle, so it has been removed.
Fixes:
  • Fixed inviting players via chat that are not in your Friends, Recent Players, or Clan list resulting in a “Could not parse targetID” error and not delivering the invite. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1313598-error-on-invitation-to-squad-outbound-and-inbound-could-not-parse-targetid/
  • Fixed Arbitration Drones at times not dropping their invincibility, which would prevent the mission from being completed.  
  • Fixed kills made by non-player allies (Specters, Kuva Liches, etc.) not counting towards the ‘Awaken a Dormant Void Angel and Defeat It’ Zariman Bounty challenge.
  • Fixed the Felarx in its Incarnon mode being able to generate and maintain charge from its shots. Charge is only built up while out of Incarnon mode.
  • Fixed Felarx’s reload FX not applying custom Energy colors.
  • Fixed the rotating shield FX on enemies affected by Guardian Eximus not disappearing after being killed.
  • Fixed a wonky chord and made balance tweaks to the Void’s Song Shawzin.
  • Fixed the Ventkids’ Ranks 3,4, and 5 Sigils displaying the Vox Solaris Sigils instead when equipped. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1313639-ventkid-sigils-using-incorrectdifferent-sigil-appearance/
  • Fixed the ‘Catch X Fish Without Missing a Throw’ Riven challenge resetting on each throw, even when making contact with a fish.
  • Fixed “nan(ind)” showing up in the UI when channeling Harrow’s Thurible with the unlimited energy buff from Lohk Surges instead of the charge amount you’ve accumulated.
    • Harrow’s Thurible under the influence of the unlimited energy buff from Lohk Surges will now simply yield maximum efficiency.

Update 31.6

June 9th, 2022 Forum Post - Echoes of the Zariman

Echoes of the Zariman: Update 31.6 is our last major update before TennoCon (July 16th, 2022)! This update includes new Zariman content and a plethora of quality of life changes that were heavily motivated by player feedback. This isn’t the first time we’ve used the “Echoes of X” as an update title - we did the same with “Echoes of War”, the succeeding update to The New War. Moving forward, we will be using this title prefix for these kinds of updates that are direct follow-ups to major content releases.

We encourage you to continue to use the spoiler-safe Angels of the Zariman sub-forum to discuss lore heavy topics.

Echoes of the Zariman: Update 31.6 has a total download size of 4.5 GB on PC, 2.6 GB of that accounts for a sound remaster that requires we recompress a few GB of sound - hence the larger download size! In other words, we improved the accuracy of our sound compression library - your ears will thank you.

NEW CAVALERO OFFERINGS

The following weapons, Arcanes, and special items have been added to Cavalero’s Offerings in the Chrysalith!


NEW INCARNON WEAPONS

Cavalero has dug up two new Incarnon weapons previously used for ceremonial purposes.

093af9799af34f67a85523e276e725eb.png


FELARX (Shotgun)

The Felarx invokes ancient times when aristocrats hunted game. For ceremonies, Orokin elites bred creatures reminiscent of game birds of old to reanimate cultural myths. The Orokin gave the Zariman crew Felarx and a brace of birds as a sign of acceptance into elite society. The brace of birds becomes a pair of powerful pistols at the hands of the Void.

df9f8d58cb20eb68c6bdd410d3efb95c.png

INNODEM (Dagger)

In the early Orokin Empire, elites wore Innodem as a symbolic reminder to defend the defenseless. The tradition fell out of style, but nostalgic elites acknowledged the sentiment in the form of a gift. The Void amplifies that ideal. Void energy strengthens Innodem gliding aerial attacks and the wielder is increasingly resilient as they perform finisher attacks in Incarnon Form.

Incarnon Weapon Changes & Fixes:

  • Updated the Incarnon Form charge gauge in the Incarnon weapon reticle to improve readability on when there is charge/when it is at full charge.
    • 96cb37c75d7a78142677c824c7b3e22d.png
  • The Phenmor can now equip owned Rifle skins!
    • The Laetum and the Praedos were released with this option enabled, it is now the Phenmor’s turn!
  • Updated Incarnon Weapon Evolution screen to include stat comparisons when selecting Evolution perks in Cavalero’s evolve screen. From the original known bugs list.
  • Changed Laetum’s ‘Overwhelming Attrition’ Evolution duration from 20 to 10 seconds.
    • Overwhelming Attrition was simply too powerful to justify using the other two Tier 5 Evolutions for the Laetum. This change was made to encourage build diversity for the Laetum.
  • Made some slight adjustments to framing of Incarnon weapons in Cavalero’s Evolution screen.
  • Updated Praedos transformation Sound with Void FX.
  • Fixed cases where the Laetum and the Phenmor were not counting headshots for Incarnon Form charge.
  • Fixed the Laetum’s "Overwhelming Attrition" Evolution perk triggering much less frequently for Clients than for Hosts.
    • If any projectile in the multishot group was a critical hit or status effect, the entire thing became invalid and would not get the buff for Clients.
  • Fixed Clients gaining Incarnon Form charges added and then partially resetting and counting back up in high latency situations.
  • Fixed the Laetum’s Evolution V ability “Devouring Attrition” not providing its 50% chance of receiving a 2000% damage buff on non-critical hits for Clients.
  • Fixed Incarnon weapons using Skins in Incarnon form. From the original known bugs list.
  • Fixed Laetum Reaper’s Plenty Evolution applying to all equipped weapons.
  • Fixed cases of Evolution perks not working for Clients.
  • Fixed the transformation timing on the Phenmor Evolution which cut off the sound FX.
  • Fixed Incarnon Evolutions UI persisting in the Loadouts screen.
  • Fixed the Praedos’ Evolution III challenge working on non-Thrax enemies.

NEW ARCANES

All values below are shown at Rank 5. As always, values that were shown on Devstream #162 were subject to change and that is reflected below as further considerations and testing was done.

Eternal Onslaught (Amps) On Energy Depleted: +180% Critical Chance for 8s.

Eternal Logistics (Amps) On Void Sling: +72% Amp Ammo Efficiency for 8s.

Molt Augmented (Warframe) On Kill: +0.24% Ability Strength. Stacks up to 250x.

Molt Reconstruct (Warframe) Heal yourself and allies within Affinity Range 6 Health for each point of Energy spent on the initial casting cost of abilities.

Cascadia Flare (Secondary) On Heat Status Effect: +12% Damage for 10s. Stacks up to 480%.

7927f82b189d113b63f979d427a5ba2b.png

NEW AMP ARCANE ADAPTER

The Amp Arcane Adapter fuses with an Amp to unlock an additional Arcane Slot. These can be purchased with Holdfast Standing from Cavalero.

To install the Amp Arcane Adapter and unlock an additional Slot, go to your Operator Equipment > Select the Amp you wish to unlock an additional Slot > Select the ‘Locked’ slot and hit “ok” to install the Amp Arcane Adapter.

With the addition of several new Amp Arcanes with Angels of the Zariman and Echoes of the Zariman, this new Slot allows you to make the most of your growing Arcane collection!

This new Arcane slot is only visible in the Operator Equipment screen once the Angels of the Zariman quest has been completed since Cavalero must be visited in the Chrysalith to get the Amp Arcane Adapter.

6158ce4b2218ba9a104f6afdefb99528.png

NEW EPHEMERAS

Cavalero has also updated his wares with new Ephemeras that are very inspired by Void Angel and Void Energy designs. Purchase the Blueprints for Standing and craft them to imbue yourself with the ethereal nature of the Void.

Raptwing Ephemera Take on the majesty of an angel’s wings. Give yourself an extra set of helping hands with this Angel-inspired Ephemera. The Ephemera’s arms will move to mirror your original set of arms.

Seraphayre Ephemera Walk in the echo of an ethereal song. Cloak your Warframe in Void Energy with this new Ephemera.


b63ae825f477ea74d871ebabce874233.png

NEW: VOID’S SONG SHAWZIN

Kira played her shawzin to uplift the spirits of Zariman crewmembers. Her song and her memory live on in the Void.

This Shawzin has breathy airy tones, and can be purchased for Platinum via the in-game Market!


0fe7194a23df7a2f8725cebda3e1f3bc.png

NEW: PARALLAX LANDING CRAFT

A new Landing Craft has been added! The Parallax was designed for Zariman interplanetary research. It can deploy the advanced Orokin Eye Air Support*, which would have allowed colonizers to study areas rich in rare resources before landing. Ordis scans the area (within 150m) for rare items.

The Parallax can be purchased via the in-game Market for Platinum or players can craft it by purchasing its Blueprint for Credits and finding its component blueprints via the Reinforced Carrypods located in the Zariman.

The Parallax also has 4 skins available for purchase in the in-game Market! They can each be purchased separately or in the Parallax Landing Craft Collection.

Players who own the Parallax can equip its Orokin Eye Air Support on their other Landing Crafts.


OPERATOR CHANGES

MULTIDIRECTIONAL VOID SLING

We have added multidirectional movement to Void Sling!

Before: Void Sling would only let you sling forward in the direction of the camera.

Now: Void Slings are all about player direction input, no longer dependent on the camera.

How to execute

To BACK SLING, hold the S key and Void Sling - observe the Operator slinging towards the camera instead of away. The back sling will always be backwards, regardless of camera angle. Same goes for slinging sideways, hold either A or D and Void Sling - observe the Operator slinging in the direction the Operator is running.


To STRAFE, when in the air hold directional key and Void Sling to strafe side to side.


If you are using a controller: Tilt the left analog stick down and Void Sling (Tap A and Hold A) - observe the Operator slinging towards the camera instead of away. The back sling will always be backwards, regardless of camera angle. Same goes for slinging sideways, tilt the left analog stick left or right and Void Sling - observe the Operator slinging in the direction they are running.


CAPSULE CHANGES

We made some improvements to the Operator projection positioning tech so that it produces a more accurate result of the final position where the Operator can pass through. This should help alleviate scenarios where the Operator could appear to Void Sling under a door but instead bonked their head. More work will be done to improve in other areas, notably issues with the Operator’s lower half colliding with the environment during Void Sling travel (we’ve got some broken ankles on the court).


Operator Cosmetic Fix & Additions

You may recall on Devstream 162 we had an open conversation about a newly surfaced bug where you could change the Operators facial appearance with any color available within your Color Palette inventory. While this was not intended, the team has discussed how to develop it into an appropriate feature based on Community sentiment.

Introducing REFACIA KIT! Open up an enticing array of radical new artificial skin colors using Refacia. Includes imitation Orokin Blue!

a2e6ae77902f0a44956ae33144a71c79.png

Players with access to a Focus School’s Represent Store (unlocked by fully maxing all of the Nodes within a School) can purchase the Refacia Kit with Focus Points to add an additional 15 artificial skin colors.

We wanted to add an investment path towards earning the Refacia Kit for a couple key reasons: 1) prevent new player confusion who have yet to reach that level of lore within Warframe, and 2) having a cosmetic to strive for in the later game.

We understand that the artificial colors given are on the subdued side compared to the Infested Palette hot pink and neon green. Our desire is to take the enjoyed bug and turn it into a lore-driven feature that fits within the ecosystem of Warframe for all to enjoy!


General Operator/Focus Changes & Fixes:

  • Added Operator Stats to the Operator Customization screen.
    • b8ca5900a5fa205ed8845820fb5477fe.png
  • Updated the Anti-Warframe field (Exolizers in Void Cascade and Kuva Trokarian’s Anti-Warframe Grenades) to no longer nullify Warframe abilities on forced Transference. As mentioned in the Hotfix 31.5.10 notes.
  • Updated the FX on Zenurik’s Temporal Drag.
  • Changed Temporal Drag and Temporal Shot so that only one damage number pops up when headshotting a slowed enemy.
    • The reason behind this change simply is less damage number pop-up spam and consistency with other damage buffs across the game. Precision headshot damage buffs, for example, buff the damage on headshots but only display the one aggregated damage number per shot. Before this change, headshotting enemies affected by Temporal Drag would show two damage numbers, one for the base damage and one for the bonus. Now it will behave exactly like normal precision headshot buffs, only it will be conditional on the target enemy being slowed by the Temporal Drag ability.
  • Temporal Shot’s bonus headshot damage on targets can now be affected by another player’s Temporal Drag.
  • Slightly reduced Caustic Strike’s opacity FX from enemies that enter the bubble.
  • Note on Transference cooldown progress: We mentioned during Devstream #162 that the slight Transference cooldown is not intended. And that continues to be the case - but the changes are not situated well enough yet to release as it involves careful consideration around server tech that we have to be delicate around. Work continues for a future release!
  • Fixed Temporal Drag not using chosen Energy colors.
  • Fixed certain Operator Hairstyles appearing with black dots while using the Enhanced Graphics Engine.
  • Updated Operator Amp animations to be one handed when shooting and aiming.
  • Fixed Magnetic Flare lasting 30 seconds across all Ranks instead of scaling with level as intended.
  • Fixed Unairu Wisp only being spawned if the target is vulnerable to Caustic Strike.
    • The wisp will spawn even if the target cannot have their armor removed by Caustic Strike.
  • Fixed being unable to choose the Transfererence option using the ‘Next/Previous Power’ and ‘Use Selected’ input bindings (5 on Keyboard or left/right bumpers on controller).
  • Fixed being able to clip into walls in certain tilesets using Transference.
  • Fixed being able to clip through closed doors in the Dormizone using Transference.
  • Fixed bug where getting grabbed by Ropalolyst when in Last Gasp, or entering Last Gasp while in Ropalolyst grab, would cause players to be invulnerable and unable to use Transference.
  • Fixed being unable to use the Melee button to Transference back into Warframe if the ‘Use Abilities on Selection’ option is disabled.
    • This ultimately fixes being unable to use Naramon’s ‘Opening Slam’ and ‘Killer Rush’.
    • This also fixes being unable to do Mercy finishers on enemies when triggered as Operator.
  • Fixed being unable to swap Focus schools in the Simulacrum as Client.
  • Fixed rare Crash occurring from using Temporal Drag.
  • Fixed an issue where toggling Void mode while your spectral form is traveling would disable knockdown invulnerability and damage reduction.
  • Fixed Health not returning to normal amounts after Transference Static wears off.
  • Fixed Warframe animations appearing while customizing the Operator.
  • Fixed issue of Amp customization only affecting Operator appearance.
  • Fixed Voidshell materials not applying to both versions of the Voidshell suit when customizing in the Arsenal.
  • Fixed crash when attempting to copy Operator suit colors to Sirocco.
  • Fixed error upon opening the Amp customization screen.
  • Fixed the description for the Zariman Sleeves on the Operator outfit.
  • Fixed Spoiler character using weapon animations while in the Dormizone.
  • Fixed the Spoiler character waistband appearing underneath them.
  • Fixed wonky arm animations while hip firing as Operator.
  • Fixed bug where "player was revived" message would show in the HUD when a player with a pet equipped activated Last Gasp. Also fixed "Player is down" message also showing when being forced back to downed Warframe.
  • Fixed Transferencing in and out of the Operator on the Orbiter removing the player's ability to open the pause menu.
  • Fixed script error when using Transference while being Switch Teleported by a Kuva Lich.

EXIMUS CHANGES

  • Modified Overguard ratios to bring Eximus Units Overguard down and slightly increase their Health/Shields to balance out the reduction.
    • Reduced Eximus Overguard by 50% and transferred the 50% to their Health pool.
      • While this may read as a big increase to the Health pool, it is not a 1-to-1 trade due to the overall pool sizes of Overguard vs Health. Imagine you have a watermelon (Overguard) and half an orange (Health). I take away half a watermelon and I give you half an orange - and together we eat a fruit salad. For clarity: Overguard has a larger pool than Health, so reducing it by half still amounts to less HP across Eximus Units across all HP values. By increasing the amount of Health and Shields an Eximus Unit has, it also increases the window for successful Mercy kills.
    • Increased Shield Scaling multiplier by 50%
  • Nox Eximus Helmets can now be destroyed when Overguard is active. Breaking their helmet will remove Overguard entirely!
    • Note that Nox Damage resistance has been decreased and armor increased to balance this change. This change applies to both Nox Eximus and base Nox enemies.
  • Fixed Overguard counting as Health and taking damage from Viral Status Effect.
    • Overguard situates itself in a new category of “protection”. It differs from Shields, Armor, and Health. That said, Viral Status Effects affecting Overguard was unintentional and has been changed to not only fit the original design for Viral damage, but also Overguard.
      • We originally mentioned in the Eximus Reborn Dev Workshop that the only Status Effect that would work on Eximus while Overguard is present is Cold Status Effects (up to 4 stacks!).
  • Blitz Eximus damage is now more consistent:
    • Now will only take 1 instance of damage per wave. Previously you could get knocked back into more explosions to take multiple subsequent hits.
  • Lifesteal now works on damage dealt to Overguard.
    • Considering Overguard is another health pool for an Eximus/Thrax and that Lifesteal already works on Health and Shields, Overguard is now susceptible to Lifesteal to give players another way to tactically engage with them. The fights with Eximus can be quite challenging, so having another avenue of survivability is always encouraged!
      • This change was also made in mind to Lifesteal survivability builds, it would be too difficult to lose all of your survivability when encountering many enemies with Overguard at one time (from either Void Armageddon or an Ancient Healer etc.)
      • Additionally, there are some Weapons and abilities that aren’t strictly classified as Lifesteal that won’t currently work, but will in a future update! This currently affects specific conditions for the:
        • Hema
        • Hirudo
        • Garuda’s Blending Talons augment
        • Gauss’ Kinetic Plating
        • Protea’s Temporal Anchor
        • Zephyr’s Target Fixation augment
      • If there are any other cases where Lifesteal isn’t applying from Overguard, please let us know on the Forums and we will take a look!
  • Eximus units no longer spawn at a higher level than the mission level.
    • Eximus spawning at increasingly higher levels felt unnecessary with the introduction of Overguard.
  • Killed Eximus units now drop a guaranteed Energy Orb and 2 Health Orbs.
    • There is a known bug that this currently doesn’t apply to the Eximus units found in Onslaught game types
  • Fixed Arson Eximus blast attacks not hitting through Limbo’s Rift.
  • Fixed Baruuk being unable to damage Eximus units with his Serene Storm waves.

ZARIMAN MISSION CHANGES

NEW: Chrysalith Bounty Fast Travel Portal

To ease the flow from Quinn to the Chrysalith elevator and vice versa, we have added portals!

Before: You would either have to run back and forth between the two or use a complex combination of Fast Travel menu hopping (Pause > Fast Travel > Quinn > Pause > Fast Travel > Zariman Navigation). This would interrupt gameplay flow when wanting to play back to back Bounties.

Now: A portal will spawn after selecting a Bounty at Quinn, walking into it will take you to the elevator where you can load into the mission. After completing the Bounty, a portal will be available for you to use upon exiting the elevator that will take you right back to Quinn to select your next Bounty.

1dd3b8d2fecb336f38e5a66983d13a44.png

NEW: Lohk Surges

A new dynamic gameplay element has been added to Zariman missions: Lohk Surges! They’re intended to be an overall benefit to your mission, but come with a bit of risk should you choose to engage with them.

c97360d61a7cf77ca627ffa256d95f7f.png

Three Lohk Surges spawn throughout the tileset for players to find - each with their randomized buff to activate! Upon finding it, the icon will reveal the buff it offers. Whenever you trigger it, it will spawn an Eximus that you have to defeat.

There are 7 possible temporary 45 second buffs that apply to both Warframe and Operator (buffs persist between Transference):

  • Secondaries have guaranteed red crits.
  • Any Health Orbs picked up grant 25 max Health for the rest of the mission.
  • Any Energy Orbs picked up grant 1 Energy per second for the rest of the mission.
  • 1% life leech on all your damage and guaranteed bleed procs.
  • No Energy cost on abilities and increase casting speed.
  • 200% extra Affinity gain.
  • Infinite ammo and 50% fire rate (affects Amps as well!).

There is a 10-minute cooldown for Lohk Surges after activating the buff, but once that’s finished you can go back and activate another Lohk Surge.

Lohk Surge challenges have also been added to the Zariman Bounties!

Void Cascade Mission Changes:

  • In-Mission Tutorial Screen: We have added a new tutorial screen in the Void Cascade mission! To access it, simply open the main menu and select the “i” icon in the bottom right corner. This is the first tutorial setup of its kind, and we will be slowly considering more tutorials of this nature based on the feedback we receive.
    • 5c20a77080da8165d35c455b5d327eef.jpg
    • 8198d2959687428d2f77a6b09fbbdbf7.png
  • Moved Mission progress tracker above the Threat meter.
  • Added tracker for successful rounds to Mission UI.
    • 681a58382e3a33491fdc86ef331150cd.png
  • Reduced the amount of different Threat states to 4. The Threat states are now:
    • THREAT: MINIMAL
    • THREAT: MENACING
    • THREAT: SEVERE
    • THREAT: CRITICAL CASCADE
  • Increased the transition time between threat states so that you can spend more time in the last one before transitioning.
    • This now triggers a final state that has a 5 minute timer before extraction.
  • Added message for when Thrax are corrupting an Exolizer.
  • Added mid-mission icons to the first set of Void rifts encountered during the Void Cascade mission in the Angels of the Zariman Quest.
  • Tweaked timing of transmissions during Void Cascade missions.
  • Fixed the final State (CRITICAL CASCADE) immediately triggering, now you can exist in the final threat state before it ends.

Thrax Enemy Changes:

  • Reduced the Energy drain from Magnetic procs from 50 to 20 per tick.
    • This not only applies to Thrax enemies, but to Magnetic damage across the game (laser doors, magnetic water in the Plains of Eidolon, etc.)! A default Magnetic proc used to drain 250 Energy, now it will do 100.
  • Overguard resistance/base amount will now show up on Thrax enemies in the Codex.
  • Adjusted Thrax enemy spawns in Mobile Defense to scale based on the size of the squad:
    • Solo: 2 Thrax spawns per Console
    • 2 Player squad: 3 Thrax spawns per Console
    • 3+ Player squad: 4 Thrax spawns per Console
      • For any Tenno not playing in a full squad, we found the Thrax spawns in Mobile Defense were far too difficult to manage either solo or with fewer Tenno. We’ve since scaled the spawns to compensate!
  • Fixed an issue with the Thrax Legatus’ beam damage tick rate being doubled.
    • If you were standing in its beam attack, the damage you receive would be astronomical, even at lower levels (Level 10 Legatus enemies could down a full health Valkyr in one beam attack). What was happening is that the Legatus would be dealing multiple instances of damage instead of constant single tick. This has now been resolved, so there should be no one hit wonders.
  • Fixed Thrax Legatus enemies being able to inflict Magnetic Status procs on Warframes with a Rank 5 Arcane Nullifier equipped (102% chance to resist Magnetic Status Effects entirely).

NEW: Trade Resources for Voidplumes Voidplumes can now be earned from Archimedean Yonta by trading in resources found throughout the Zariman! Voidplumes rotate every 8 hours, a Time Left to Trade timer is available to indicate the next upcoming rotation.

c07ac4c7db3d6dd03ad035f8fe6bffa1.png

General Zariman Mission Changes & Fixes:

  • Added individual extraction to endless Zariman missions (Void Cascade, Void Flood, and Void Armageddon).
    • In order to solo extract from endless Zariman missions, simply head to the elevator and hold to extract at the panel. Traditionally, in other endless missions you could solo extract by waiting out the timer at the extraction point, but doing that here will only extract once all team members have joined you in the elevator. We may explore this option for Zariman missions, but for now manual solo extraction is available!
  • Added a 5th Tier Bounty category to the Zariman Bounties!
    • This also means that all Mission types will be available at one time via Bounties in the Chrysalith.
    • The Hespar and Aeolak Blueprints have also been split into separate Bounties, meaning these two rare rewards are now housed in their own independent Bounty table, instead of having both of them in one.
    • The Voidplume Quill amount for completing Bounty challenges has been increased by 1 for all Tier 3 and higher Bounties.
  • Voidplume pickups will now count towards the Syndicate Medallion Riven challenge.
  • Kuva Trokarian enemies are receiving some changes to make them feel like more of a threat when they appear in-mission.
    • Similar to their Thrax compatriots, these foes are intended to add an extra level of difficulty to the player’s gameplay loop, so these tweaks are made with that goal in mind.
      • Added Overguard to the Kuva Trokarian (but at a lesser value than the Eximus Overguard)
      • Increased their Void Damage slightly.
      • Increased Armor from 250 to 300.
      • Increased base Health from 450 to 500.
      • Increased Affinity earned from killing a Kuva Trokarian from 500 to 750.
  • Added input callouts for the fast select turret options in Void Armageddon missions.
    • c383e8ecfd76908c30141c82bde98c4f.png
  • Added Chrysalith and Orbiter options when attempting to leave Zariman missions from the pause menu.
  • Added Chrysalith and Orbiter options when attempting to leave the Dormizone from the pause menu.
  • The Mission Select screen accessed in the Chrysalith will now mark which missions you have not completed as “Unexplored”.
  • Made several minor changes to the audio volume in the Void Armageddon (Oro Works) mission.
  • Updated the audio for the Exodampers in Void Armageddon.
  • Updated the Seesaw physics in the Zariman for all of our Seesaw purists out there.
  • Fixed an issue where doors in the Zariman would not render, making it impossible to progress through the mission. From the original known bugs list.
  • Fixed glass material flickering if there is active VFX behind it (notably with the yellow Exolizer bubble in Void Cascade missions).
  • Fixed a small issue with the Armament turrets ambient VFX in Void Armageddon missions.
  • Fixed certain Warframes (notably while using Yareli’s Merulina and Sevagoth’s Exalted Shadow) losing functionality and getting stuck in t-pose after entering the Void Cascade Exolizer anti-Warframe bubbles.
  • Fixed a missing water teleport volume in the Zariman Exterminate mission.

NEW: Open Landscape Fast Travel - Blinkpads!

You can now fast travel in Open Landscapes (Plains of Eidolon, Orb Vallis, and Cambion Drift) using Blinkpads! Blinkpads can also be interacted with while in Archwing, but upon arrival you will be returned to foot so that you can choose your next mode of transportation.

Players can teleport to other Blinkpads by interacting with ones they come across within the Landscape, or by selecting the Blinkpad they wish to travel to from their Advanced Map (accessed by holding their bound Show Level Map key).

ARCANE STAT CHANGES PER RANK

We’ve adjusted the values of older Arcanes with the goal of making lower rank Arcanes more viable, and more desirable while collecting as a result. In short, there are three stats that each Arcane tends to have (speaking generally) -- for example, a percentage chance, a stat buff, and the duration of the buff.

Certain Arcanes increase all of these stats per rank (making them scale exponentially), but we are changing it so that only one stat is affected by rank (making it scale linearly). The other stats will now be at the max-rank value regardless of the Arcane Rank, thereby buffing lower-rank Arcanes as a result.

For example, using Arcane Fury.

  • Previous:
    • The unranked values were as follows: “On Critical Hit: 10% chance for +30% Melee Damage to Melee Weapons for 3s”
    • The max rank values were as follows: “On Critical Hit: 60% chance for +180% Melee Damage to Melee Weapons for 18s”
  • New:
    • With these changes, the unranked values are as follows: “On Critical Hit: 60% chance for +30% Melee Damage to Melee Weapons for 18s”
    • With these changes, the max rank values remain the same as before: “On Critical Hit: 60% chance for +180% Melee Damage to Melee Weapons for 18s”

This change mostly affects older Arcanes that don’t already fit this new formula (with the exception of Arcane Barrier*), as the majority of newer Arcanes already follow this system. The Arcanes listed below are formatted to showcase which stats have been changed from scaling to constant (with the old “Unranked” value in brackets), and which stats will still increase with rank, using the # / # format. For the sake of clarity, we are only sharing unranked and max rank stat values, not the incremental value changes for ranks between them.

Arcane Barrier is the one true exception to the Arcane changes below, since it has two scaling stats, but one of those stats actually becomes worse with rank. Rank 3-4 for example increases the cooldown from 4s to 5s. So if we were to change it to have constant cooldown like the others, we would be increasing the cooldown duration for the lower ranks - which is something we want to avoid! Any other possible changes might have to alter how the Arcane works overall, so we ultimately decided to leave it untouched.

OPERATOR ARCANES

Emergence Dissipate WHILE IN VOID SLING: Press the weapon firing input to dissipate the endpoint in a 10m (was 7.5m) radius. Enemies hit have a 100% (was 50%) chance to create a short lived Void Mote that replenishes 5/10 energy on pick up.

  • We have also made the following changes to Emergence Dissipate:
    • Void Motes are no longer affected by ‘vortex’ abilities like Void Snare.
    • Added a 1.5 second delay between generating Void Mote from the same enemy.
      • Emergence Dissipate was conceptualized as a weaker alternative to Zenurik’s energy gain, but ended up being even stronger than the Energy-focused school in certain cases, going against the Focus rework goals of each school having a unique niche. The above changes also seek to maintain the original goals we had with Void Sling; to encourage a more controlled behavior instead of a spam-centric loop. The slight cooldown motivates more mindful gameplay, but with the benefit of the stat buffs it has received for lower levels.
  • Now that the chance is guaranteed, the new description is “WHILE IN VOID SLING: Press [fire input] to dissipate the endpoint in a 10m radius. Enemies hit create a short lived Void Mote that replenishes 5/10 energy on pick up.

Lighting Changes:

We have made the following changes to lighting to improve how it interacts with details in open landscapes!

  • Separated sky lighting from the rest in lightmaps, resulting in improved lighting quality because samples coming from opposite directions will no longer cancel each other out.
  • Lighting at night will now pop much more! Prior to this change, everything would be tinted in dark blue. Now, each lighting source will have much more vibrance in contrast to the dark backdrop of night.
  • Lighting during the day will now have a lot more textural details especially when viewing things at distance. Prior to this change, details would tend to get lost at a distance and resemble more clay-like, without any grit or grain to it.
  • Added sun bounce to the enhanced graphics engine.
  • Enhanced graphics engine also offers more detail at a distance.

Enemy Grappling Hook Rework:

Scorpions, Ancients, and Tusk Predators have had their grappling hook mechanic reworked! An age-old enemy mechanic from the early beginnings of Warframe, they’ve been grappling Tenno left and right for years - it’s time to break free! Since its introduction, the grappling hook attack has consistently knocked players down or dragged them around, providing no opening for combative counterplay.

NOW Scorpion, Ancient, and Tusk Predator grappling hooks will tether to you, followed by a slight delay (1 second) before they attempt to slowly pull you in. Tenno who are agile enough can now Melee attack in the direction of the rope to destroy it and stagger the enemy. Additionally, Bullet Jumping or dodging during the pulling animation can cause a stagger to the enemy.

  • Isolator Bursas have not received the cut mechanic since the mechanic works a bit differently for these enemies.

GENERAL CHANGES:

  • Made the following changes to the Grendel Locator missions:
    • Lowered the Enemy level in the Grendel Locator Missions from 40-45 to 25-30.
      • This change was made thanks to Community feedback on the difficulty of the Eximus units in the Grendel missions after their rework, but it was also decided to lower the enemy levels overall as these missions were deemed too difficult.
    • Reduced the length of the Grendel Chassis Locator Defense mission from 15 waves to 10 waves. As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/uigpd9/grendel_missions_impossible_now_with_eximus_rework/i7fk209/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&co
      • The changes to Eximus units in the Angels of the Zariman update made this particular mission much longer compared to the rest because you are required to clear all the Eximus at the end of every wave. Even with the changes we’ve made to Overguard in this update, we have reduced the waves to compensate for the added difficulty/time we found Eximus units continued to bring to the mission.
    • Syndicate Death Squads will no longer spawn in the Grendel Locator missions.
  • Garuda’s Dread Mirror now blocks all radial damage in front of it and grants stagger/knockdown immunity.
  • Changed the reticle of several weapons with a charge mechanic to no longer use energy colors for their charge indicators.
    • While it’s desirable to have the reticle of these weapons take on the energy color, it sacrifices too much clarity for the weapon charge indicator.
      • This applies to:
      • Laetum transmutation gauge
      • Phenmor transmutation gauge
      • Morgha charge reticle
      • Cortege charge reticle
      • Sepulcrum charge reticle

  • Added new ‘Premium Bundles’ and ‘Supporter Packs’ categories to the in-game Market.
    • The ‘Premium Bundles’ category includes Prime Access and Prime Vault packs.
  • Future community driven in-game Alerts will now be called a “Tenno United Alert” to indicate that they are the result of community efforts!
  • These can be Alerts unlocked from charity events, ARGs, etc.

    • Blink was removing the difficulty and purpose of that mission which requires you to use the cover of the ship to pass through the beams undetected.
  • Minor character collision improvements (when colliding with high obstacles).
  • Replaced item of significance at the end of the Angels of the Zariman Quest in the Chrysalith.
  • Polished some of Gyre’s idle animations.

Hotfix 31.5.10.1

Zephyr & Chroma Prime Vault: Hotfix 31.5.10.1

Hello, we meet again, so soon too! We are hotfixing to address two widespread crashes after Hotfix 31.5.10 went live. The optimizations we put out revealed a long-standing bug that we want to squad. This is (now) likely to be our last hotfix (unless something else urgent pops up) before the next update - which you can learn more about in our “Next Update Post-Angels of the Zariman” announcement!

Changes:

  • Changed the Carrion Charger “Energy Leech” Eximus variant name to “Parasitic Eximus”.

Fixes:

Hotfix 31.5.10

Zephyr & Chroma Prime Vault: Hotfix 31.5.10

Hello Tenno! This is likely to be our last hotfix before the next update - which you can learn more about in our “Next Update Post-Angels of the Zariman” announcement!

Changes:

  • You will now auto-load into a Relay if there is only one open/available instance.
  • Added in-mission markers to Arcane drops.
  • Orokin Drone Eximus units can now only spawn as either Energy Leech or Health Leech.
    • Essentially, this is the same change that was made to Grineer Sensor Regulator Eximus in Hotfix 31.5.8. The drones are unable to animate the other Eximus functions, which was making it difficult/impossible to telegraph their attacks. This change also adds proper Eximus ability functionality to the drones.
  • Turned up the Zarium Accolade sound FX slightly and increased its radius.

Optimizations:

  • Fixes towards a cache crash that could occur when aborting an update.
    • Made micro-optimizations to engine startup and level loading.
    • Improved shutdown speed when interrupting content update or quitting the game while loading a level.

Fixes:

  • Fixed purchasing an Appearance Config Slot for the Phenmor prompting a confirmation for purchasing an Exilus Weapon Adapter for 20 Platinum instead of the 10 Platinum Appearance Config Slot as intended.
    • To recap, players who purchased the Slot were being prompted for an Exilus Weapon Adapter, and then charged for it when the player confirmed. The Adapter was then consumed to unlock the Appearance Config Slot.
    • For those who were affected up until this hotfix, upon login you will be given an Exilus Weapon Adapter for every slot purchased for the Phenmor. Purchased Appearance Config Slots will remain unaffected, you keep what you purchased!
    • Due to some tech constraints, we weren’t able to run a script that would refund the Platinum difference while also distributing the consumed Adapter. If you would rather the 10 Platinum instead of the Adapters you may contact support.warframe.com with the subject line “Appearance Config Slot Inquiry for the Phenmor” or you can keep the “discounted” Exilus Weapon Adapter(s) (10 Platinum vs. 20).
  • Fixed all Sentinels missing their animations.
  • Fixed Syndicate Sigils not remaining equipped. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1306804-syndicate-sigil-disappears-after-selecting-in-arsenalappearance/page/2/#comment-12515229
  • Fixed not being able to jump as Atlas after Rumblers with the Titanic Rumbler Augment equipped expired while you are Operator.
  • Fixed several issues with abilities when forced into Operator (in Zariman Cascade missions for example):
    • Fixed Banshee’s Sound Quake and Caliban’s Razor Gyre not working correctly.
    • Fixed camera shake issues with Banshee’s Sound Quake.
    • Fixed being unable to deactivate Chroma’s Guided Effigy Augment.
    • Fixed Garuda’s Seeking Talons HUD showing up when in Operator if cast while entering anti-Warframe area.
    • Fixed Garuda’s Bloodletting not granting Energy.
    • Fixed Harrow’s Thurible continuing to charge.
    • Fixed Harrow’s Covenant HUD disappearing.
    • Fixed Inaros’ Sandstorm not terminating.
    • Fixed issues with Mesa Peacemaker.
    • In a future update, we are also working on a change where your active Warframe buffs will not be reset when you are forced out of your Warframe like this e.g. Nezha’s Warding Halo.
  • Fixed Hildryn’s Aegis Storm continuing to go up/down automatically upon transferring back her if you transferred out while holding jump/crouch.
  • Fixed the Laetum’s Evolution V perk ‘Reaper's Plenty’ applying its ammo efficiency to all equipped weapons, instead of just the Laetum as intended.
  • Fixed being unable to select the top part of the event Trophies and the following Statue decorations after being placed in the Dojo:
    • Armored Grineer Statue
    • Female Grineer Statue
    • Grineer Marine Statue
    • Lech Kril Statue
  • Fixed Platinum price appearing in item description hover for the Protovyre Ephemera, despite already owning it.
  • Fixed text for the Operator Equipment and Appearance buttons in certain languages extending beyond the bounds of the buttons.
  • Fixed Unveiled Riven mods in Trade preview showing an incorrect Veiled version.
  • Fixed Resource Extractor Drone UI showing what specific resource is going to be extracted on the bottom of the possible resource list (with overlapping).
  • Fixed the description text for the Bloodshed Sigil in the end of mission screen appearing doubled.
  • Fixed script error related to the Eidolon Vomvalyst’s dash.
  • Fixed script error related to Wukong’s Cloud Walker.

Hotfix 31.5.9

May 12, 2022 Forum Post

Zephyr & Chroma Prime Vault: Hotfix 31.5.9

This is one of a small handful of hotfixes we plan to release before the next update - which you can learn more about in our latest “Next Update Post-Angels of the Zariman” announcement!


Zariman Mission Changes & Fixes:

  • Added the Steel Path mission toggle to the Zariman Navigation located in the Chrysalith.
    • In premade squads, the Steel Path toggle is determined by the Host (even if Clients do not have it toggled on, joining a Host who does will default everyone to Steel Path).
    • Known issue: You are only able to publicly matchmake with Steel Path Tenno from the same location. In other words, Steel Path matchmaking from the Chrysalith will only match you with other Tenno who are looking for a Steel Path squad from the Chrysalith (same with Steel Path matchmaking from Orbiter Navigation).
  • Fixed a rare case of being unable to progress in Void Flood missions after killing a Thrax enemy with Void Sling, causing the Thrax to go into an invincible state.
  • Fixed Zariman Exterminate mission sometimes spawning all the enemies while players are at the beginning of the level. Players now need to progress through the level as normal.
  • More fixes towards a crash when Client returns to the Chrysalith when awakening/spawning a Void Manifestation.
  • Fixed script error related to Void Ruptures in Void Flood missions.
  • Fixed an unusable context action appearing on the Exolizers in Void Cascade missions.
  • Fixed broken enemy behavior when Thrax enemies are disarmed by abilities, which also led them to run around with just a Sheev (fear the butter knife).  
  • They will now take damage (and be knocked down if Overguard is depleted) when disarmed.

Changes:

  • Added new custom sound FX to activating Focus Schools in the Focus UI.
  • Added a custom TennoGen watermark to background when viewing TennoGen items in the in-game Market.

Fixes:

  • Fixed Guardian Shell intercepting some player attacks, instead of solely intercepting enemy attacks as intended.
    • For example, using weapons like Ferrox or Mausolon was impacting the shield and causing detonation visuals and sometimes staggering or knocking you down.
    • This also fixes heat trace weapons (eg. Ignis, Klamora Prism Amp, etc.) and beam weapons being visually reflected by Guardian Shell.
  • Fixed a Sentinel equipped with the Ordis Sentinel Skin appearing too low when viewed in the Arsenal or in-game Market diorama.
  • Fixed a Sentinel equipped with the Ordis Sentinel Skin following the player extremely closely. Level 500 clinger.
  • Fixed mission information missing “Zariman” in the brackets during the Angels of the Zariman quest missions.
  • Fixed the Incarnon Weapon Evolution UI elements persisting in the Loadout screen.
  • Fixed being unable to perform a Parazon Finisher on Crawlers even with the icon appearing.  
  • Fixed Yareli being immune to some enemy AOE weapon attacks while she’s riding her Merulina.
  • Fixed being unable to scroll while editing Stencils in the Customize Quarters console while using a controller.
  • Fixed the “HOLD TO CLEAR” label UI overlapping with the first line of the selection box in the Foundry.
  • Fixed kills by Gyre’s abilities not being accounted for in player profile stats.
  • Fixed the Dormizone icon appearing as the incomplete mission (glowing blue diamond) instead of its own custom icon.
  • Fixed Fulmin’s projectile explosion FX offset.
  • Fixed a crazy muzzle flash FX on the Laetum.
  • Fixed ‘Mercy Kills’ being written as just ‘Mercy’ in various descriptions.
  • Fixed script error related to pop-ups for item information (drop sources, etc.)

*If you already wield the power of these Primes or have their Relics in your Inventory, they will remain after the Vaulting.


Zariman Mission Changes & Fixes:

  • Added additional spawn points for Voidplumes, Somachord Fragments, Storage Containers, and Zarium Accolades throughout the Zariman tileset.
  • Fixed Zariman Bounties not rolling over immediately once the timer reaches 0.
  • Fixed a case where Faction-based Bounty challenges might not match the actual Faction present in Zariman.
    • Now whenever the Faction changes, the Bounties will be refreshed to prevent this from happening in the future.

  • Fixed extra extraction markers directing you to dead ends in the Zariman tileset.


Operator/Focus Changes & Fixes:

  • Fixed switching to the last position you left Excalibur Umbra instead of your current position as Operator before Transferring back to Warframe.
  • Inner Might changes & fixes:
    • Energy costs in the abilities screen will now reflect their new cost (0) when affected by Inner Might.
    • Fixed an issue where Inner Might was being consumed without granting a free cast on numerous abilities.
    • Fixed some abilities with no cost or special costs consuming Inner Might despite not benefitting from it.
    • Fixed Inner Might activating and allowing infinite casting for most Warframe abilities in the Grendel Locator missions (which have Focus abilities disabled by default).

UI Changes:

  • Added on-hover tooltip to Credits and Platinum in the notifications bar.
  • In-game Market category Icons will now increase in size on hover.
  • The in-game Market now has new banner backers and has been increased in size.
  • Updated the ‘New’ icon FX.


Changes:

  • Grineer Sensor Regulator Eximus (the drones from Grineer Sealab Spy mission) will only spawn as Energy Leech and Health Leech.

  • Updated the descriptions for Ironbride, Arquebex, and Necraweb


Fixes:

  • Fixed Equinox’s Maim being able to chain stagger Eximus units with Overguard active.
    • Overguard as it was designed is resistant to CC, any form of stagger proc present with Warframe abilities is unintended at this time. It’s worth noting that we’re exploring some options on the topic of Overguard and its CC resistance.
  • Fixed the Aero mod set bonus putting to sleep ability immune enemies (Eximus with Overguard, Demolysts, certain bosses, etc.).

Hotfix 31.5.7

May 6, 2022 Forum Post

Angels of the Zariman: Hotfix 31.5.7

Happy Friday, Tenno! Today’s hotfix addresses some high priority bugs and brings with it some changes to Operators and Focus. This will tentatively be the last hotfix until the launch of next week’s Zephyr Prime and Chroma Prime Prime Vault. But we will of course be monitoring for any urgent issues and will be Hotfixing in those cases. Thank you!


Operator & Focus Changes:

Another round of Community feedback has brought a handful of changes to Operators and the Focus School System. This time the focus (ar ar ar) is on the casting animation speed of certain Focus abilities and some minor changes to Void Sling. We are working on optimizing the base speed, duration, and animation in these Hotfixes. We are also doing code reviews for our next Update to review further tweaks (with an emphasis on Void Sling) - more on that very soon!

  • The following Focus abilities have had their casting animations replaced with a faster variant:
    • Caustic Strike
    • Magnetic Flare
    • Void Snare
  • Shortened and increased the speed of the Void Levitation and Contamination Wave’s casting animation.
  • Replaced the following Focus abilities’ casting animation with a faster variant that is also upper body only - which now allows for full movement while casting as opposed to staying stationary:
    • Guardian Shell
    • Temporal Drag
  • Void Sling Changes:
    • Decreased the time it takes for Void Sling’s end point to reach its max distance.
    • Increased the overall velocity of slinging to the end point.
  • The ‘Abilities’ option from the pause menu can now be accessed when playing as Operator.


General Operator/Focus Fixes:

  • Fixed the incorrect values for Inner Might’s Energy cost when Ability Efficiency is not at 100% (equipping Blind Rage for example).
    • For most Warframe abilities this was a UI only bug, gameplay values were unaffected. But some really did end up with very wrong energy costs.
  • Fixed script error related to Unairu Wisp.


Zariman Mission Changes & Fixes:

  • Made Zariman matchmaking more robust.
    • Fixed players with public matchmaking turned on not matching into the same Bounty with each other.
  • Fixed cases of Void Flood Bounty “normal mission” rewards not being awarded.
  • Fixed being unable to enter the Void Manifestation arena due to a delay on their health bar appearing. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1309155-void-angel-fight-bugged-cant-enter-void-bubble-known/?do=findComment&comment=12504970
  • Fixes towards the Zariman Bounties with the "Kill X Grineer" Challenge ending up with Corpus enemies and vice versa.
  • Fixed being unable to complete the “Complete mission without Abilities” Bounty in the Zariman Mobile Defense (The Greenway) due to a lack of extraction and other factors. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1309354-angels-of-zariman-mobile-def-mission-no-ability-bounty-not-finishing-after-mission-completion/
  • Fixed extraction being unavailable after 1 full round in a Void Flood mission or Bounty.
  • Fixed some cases of extraction not enabling after Host migration in Void Armageddon missions.
  • Fixed level aura debuffs caused by destroyed Exodampers in Void Armageddon persisting in regular Zariman missions.
  • More fixes towards Clients not losing the Void Manifestation Arena filter after getting killed inside.
  • Possible fix for objective UI trackers sometimes being out of order in Void Flood Bounty missions.
  • Fixed potential issues with joining players and/or connection issues in Void Flood missions.
  • Fixed the Kuva Trokarian’s Transference disrupting bubbles not functioning in back to back missions in the Zariman.
  • Fixed crash when aborting or Host migrating in a Zariman mission while wall dashing.
  • Fixed crash that could happen if Client went back to the Chrysalith at the same time that the Host is jumping into the Void Manifestation arena.
  • Fixed crash that could happen if Client went back to the Chrysalith at the same time that the Host is awakening a Void Manifestation.
  • Fixed script error in Void Flood Ruptures in Void Flood missions.
  • Fixed rare crash due to Host migrating during the ‘Kill Thrax’ stages of Void Flood missions.


Changes:

  • Follow up changes to the scaling spawn cap to Eximus units in Endless mission types change that went live yesterday in Hotfix 31.5.6:
    • Increased the Eximus cap in Sortie Survival missions to 5 max simultaneous Eximus. It is also no longer scaled by squad size (was between 2 and 4 depending on squad size).
  • Health and Energy Leech Eximus units will no longer create their leeching zones to attack players they cannot see
    • This was allowing them to attack through objects, now they will only create their leeching zones when they can see the target they are trying to attack. Note that they will still try to predict your movement if they catch a glimpse of you!
  • Increased volume of Focus Convergence Orb pickup sound.


Fixes:

  • Fixed all Incarnon Evolutions that increase or reduce Critical/Status Chance not applying correctly.
    • Previously, the base stats were not additive, which meant that they weren’t being applied in full. For example, the Phenmor’s Survivor’s Edge Evolution IV +10% Critical Chance +10 Status Chance was only applying a fraction of that percentage boost. They will now apply properly as described in its descriptions!
  • Fixed the Laetum’s ‘Overwhelming Attrition’ Evolution perk activating from status DOTs inflicted by the weapon.
    • This was in contradiction to its description and original design: “On Hit that is neither Critical nor applies a Status Effect: +400% damage for 20 seconds.”
  • Fixed Cascadia Overcharge Rank 4 & 5 bonus being identical. Max rank effect remains 300%,  Unranked is now 50%.
  • Fixed the Hespar having a 1 hour Crafting time as opposed to the intended 12 hour Crafting time that is reflected for its components.
  • Fixes towards Clients loading into a mission with no enemy spawns (including Railjack missions) after Host invites them but abandons the mission/closes the game while the Client is loading in.
  • Fixed Mesa’s Staggering Shield Augment mod chance to stagger enemies accumulating each time it's cast.
  • Fixed crash after mind controlling or disarming enemies right as the "change of plans" swap-to-exterminate happens in mission.
  • Fixed the wrong sound FX playing on Nova’s Antimatter when Inner Might’s charge is ready.
  • Fixed all Focus School Sumdalis clipping through the Liset Prime Skin livery.
  • Fixed Inaros’ Spectralyst Shadows created from Amalgam enemies not despawning.
  • Fixed another case of Excalibur Umbra losing all function (and being unable to transference back to him) after being spiked by a Void Manifestation.
  • Fixed Inaros’ losing loss of function after being spiked by a Void Manifestation while Devouring.
  • Fixed Shawzin custom bindings not saving and reverting to default when using the Shawzin Emote on controller.
  • Fixed missing sounds during the opening sequences in the Saya’s Vigil quest.
  • Fixed wing attachments on Carrier Prime not orienting correctly.
  • Fixed a script error related to Alad V's Blinding Beam ability.
  • Fixed potential script error when joining a mission in progress or Host migrating.
  • Fixed script error related to Ivara’s Quiver.

Hotfix 31.5.6

May 4, 2022 Forum Post

Angels of the Zariman: Hotfix 31.5.6


Zariman Mission Changes & Fixes:

  • Extraction is no longer forced after completing all Bounty objectives in Void Flood missions, the mission can continue indefinitely if players decide to stay.
  • Improved the spawning consistency of large Vitoplast orbs in relation to their distance from Void Ruptures.
  • Updated Armaments UI to use seconds instead of percentage in Void Armageddon missions.
  • Added more tutorial messages in the Angels of the Zariman quest Void Flood mission in regards to the Corruption level:
    • “Closing ruptures lowers the corruption meter.”
    • “Keep the corruption meter low to avoid negative void complications.”
  • Fixed infinite loading screen when entering the Zariman elevator as Operator during Zariman Bounty.
    • This resulted in having to abort the mission in order to escape the confines of the Elevator.
  • Fixed Void Flood missions missing UI pop ups to indicate a reward has been given.
  • Fixed Void Manifestation HUD not showing to players who join a fight in progress.
  • Fixed the ‘Minimize Void Contamination’ Bounty for Cascade (Use 4 Exolizers while keeping the corruption bar from going above 50%) failing instantly upon mission start on older PCs.  

Changes:

  • Added a scaling spawn cap to Eximus units in Endless mission types (this includes Survival, Void Flood, Void Armageddon, Void Cascade, Disruption, Zealoid Prelate, The Deadlock Protocol quest, and Rising Tide quest).
    • Previously, spawn scaling was uncapped. Now it scales by squad size to take into account solo players vs. squads. In other words, Eximus have the same % to spawn for each enemy, but once you hit the simultaneous Eximus cap no more will spawn until they are killed. Here is the breakdown for scaling spawn cap based on squad #s:
      • Solo player = No more than 2 Eximus at a time (this is consistent with non-endless mission caps)
      • 2 player squad = 2 Eximus max at a time
      • 3 player squad = 3 Eximus max at a time
      • 4 player squad = 4 Eximus max at a time
  • Changed the final Angels of the Zariman quest objective description.

Optimizations:

  • Made several systemic optimizations to memory usage to save over 2MB of RAM.
  • Made several insignificant optimizations to frame-rate.

Fixes:

  • Fixed Ghoul Purge Bounties (and potentially others) failing at start. As originally PSA’d here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1308870-psa-pc-ghoul-purge-disabled-temporarily/
    • We will be restoring the Bounty sometime tomorrow once we have deployed the fix on all platforms.
  • Fixed Hydroid's Pilfering Swarm, Nekros Desecrate, and Khora's Pilfering Strangledome affecting Vitoplast drop amounts from enemies in Void Flood missions.
    • This was the original design intention, as was mentioned in the pre-launch sponsored videos on Void Flood missions. Its core design encourages the use of your parkour skills as the primary way to collect scattered Vitoplast around the tileset, with enemy drops being secondary.
  • Fixed Cascadia Overcharge’s Critical Chance buff applying to all weapons instead of just the Secondary, as intended.
  • Fixed a noticeable seam in the torso/arm area of the Valkyr Carnivex Skin.
  • Fixed the Vasero Sehkara badges shifting position in an asymmetric way when equipped with shoulder armor.
  • Fixed some duplicated Blitz/Volatile Eximus effects on Clients.
  • Fixed being able to sell Aeolak components for Ducats.
  • Fixed Zariman ghosts standing still indefinitely after Host migration.
  • Fixed Operator missing facial customizations in the first cinematic of the Angels of the Zariman quest.
  • Fixed anti-Warframe bubble not working on Clients in Void Cascade missions.
  • Fixed the key binding screen tabs in Options overlapping with the top key to bind when resolution is set to 1920x1200 and the game is in windowed mode.
  • Fixed certain mentions of the ‘Void’ not being capitalized.
  • Fixed an issue with the reload sound FX for the Oscira skin.
  • Fixing Wisp and Titania’s animation sets not floating while having the Hespar equipped.
  • Fixed [PH] tags in the Customize HUD Color settings.
  • Fixed crash when opening up the ‘Hire Railjack Crew Members’ window at Ticker in Fortuna.
  • Fixed script error related to special Incarnon weapon reticle.
  • Fixed script error while killing a Hound right before Host migration.
  • Fixed script error related to the Conclave team select interface.
  • Fixed script error related to Volt’s Shock ability.

Hotfix 31.5.5

May 3, 2022 Forum Post

Angels of the Zariman: Hotfix 31.5.5


We’re back with our second Hotfix of the week as the team progresses through reports. Additionally, we’re working towards addressing some bigger feedback areas with our week's worth of findings - more info to share soon.


Angels of the Zariman Quest Changes & Fixes:

  • Adjusted the Void Cascade mission objectives to start when players kill the first Thrax occupying an Exolizer.
  • Added objective kill marker, tutorial text popup, and transmissions to better explain mission objectives in Void Cascade.  
    • Specifically “Kill the Thrax”.
  • The tutorial message about depositing Vitoplast will now appear much sooner after the first Void Rupture becomes active in the Void Flood mission.  
  • The following Void Cascade conditions are now the only ones that will occur in the quest mission:
    • Shield Drain
    • Enemies have added Heat damage
    • Boarding squad
  • Improved mission flow in the Void Cascade mission.
  • Reduced enemy counts for the first two Void Ruptures in the Void Flood mission. It will now ramp up slowly over time and Eximus units will only spawn after the first Void Rupture has been closed.
  • Fixed missing transmissions for when an Exolizer spawns in Void Cascade mission.
  • Fixed the objective marker in the Void Flood mission appearing during intro transmission.
    • It will now appear after this key transmission has finished playing.
  • Fixed being able to bypass pop-up messages introduced in Hotfix 31.5.5 by starting the Angels of the Zariman quest from Navigation.


Zariman Mission Changes & Fixes:

  • Void Flood Fixes:
    • The optional Extraction marker now displays for less time at each rotation.
    • Fixed “Return to the Chrysalith” message lingering on screen indefinitely after the mission ends.
    • Fixed objective A not appearing until the intro transmissions have finished.
      • This also fixes the objective popping in at an empty location with a marker and causing an awkward pause in gameplay.
    • Fixed extraction transmission playing after the next Round’s A marker appears in Void Flood missions.
      • This should help some confusion on extraction availability before the next Round begins on longer endless runs.
  • Void Cascade Fixes:
    • Fixed Exolizer progression marker lingering with full bar after it disappears in Void Cascade missions.
  • Fixes towards enemies not spawning properly if you Host migrate before fully connecting/loading into Zariman missions from the Chrysalith (and all other open landscapes).
  • Fixed Zariman missions (including Bounties) at times auto-completing and on consecutive runs.
  • Fixed Thrax enemies being able to activate any interactables in Zariman missions, which would disable them for players.
  • Fixed crash related to Thrax Centurions.
  • Fixed script error with Void Manifestation ground spike ability.
  • More fixes towards script errors related to Thrax enemy spawns.
  • Fixed a script error with the inactive Void Manifestations spawns.
  • Fixed a script error in Void Armageddon missions.


Changes:

  • Added a daily refresh indicator to Syndicate screens (anywhere where there is an ‘X remaining’ indicator). https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/63367535bd161aaffe892294ecb987ea.jpg
  • Added ‘None’ icon to all of the None options in the Operator UI lists in the Orbiter.
  • Entrati Syndicate rank up dialogue has been reassigned to the ‘Speech Volume’ slider in the Audio options.
    • This also fixes their dialogue being muted if players had the ‘Transmission Slider’ turned down.


Fixes:

  • Fixes towards being unable to matchmake with other players in any open landscape mission (Bounties included).
  • Fixed being unable to individually extract from endless missions (excluding the new Zariman mission types, stay tuned for possible add!).
  • Fixed case where Focus points were being consumed to purchase Teshin’s 10,000 x Kuva Steel Path Honors.
    • This also prevented you from making the purchase if you didn’t have the right kind of Focus points. A script will be run to refund Focus points for anyone who purchased Kuva from Teshin between the launch of the Angels of the Zariman update and this hotfix.
    • A script has been run (on all platforms) to refund Focus points for anyone who purchased Kuva from Teshin between the launch of the Angels of the Zariman update and this hotfix.
  • Fixed the Plexus opened from the Orbiter not maintaining the mod equipped in the 8th slot after closing and re-opening screen.
  • Fixed players being unable to change their highlighted ability while sprinting as Operator while using controller. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1306330-can%E2%80%99t-highlight-back-fourth-abilites-while-running-n-operator-form/
  • Fixed Synth Charge’s effects applying to the Laetum’s Incarnon Transmutation by 200% for the full duration if you transmute it with only one bullet left in the magazine.
  • Fixed Energy Leech Eximus hazard FX and sound not working properly for Clients.
  • Fixed being unable to trigger Transmutation on Incarnon weapons with alt-fire/heavy attack after Host migration.
  • Fixed dying before cinematic in final stages of The New War quest causing you to be unable to proceed.
    • This also fixes being able to receive damage if you happen to be playing as Operator when that cinematic starts, which would ultimately break the cinematic.
  • Fixed holding Garuda’s Dread Mirror to charge the damage of her blood ball consuming Energy, but not increasing damage.
  • Fixed Gyre Rotorswell lightning strike cooldown being permanently decreased in certain cases when the electric arcs chain to other enemies.
    • This potentially also fixes Cathode Grace randomly disabling itself - please let us know if this issue continues post-Hotfix.
  • Fixed Range Advantage’s buff only applying when enemies are within 15 meters instead of 10 meters and only increases damage by 250% instead of 300% (at max Rank) as intended. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1305004-range-advantage-mod-requires-higher-enemy-distance-than-listed/?ct=1651152297
  • Fixed the Sevagoth’s Shadow Skin and Helmet stating in its description that it “is a cosmetic for an item which you do not own” when you do in-fact own it.

  • Fixing audio ducking while aiming with a Fishing Spear if you melee in between aiming.
  • Fixed script error with Assassinate Bounties in the Orb Vallis.
  • Fixed script error related to the Gas City tileset lab puzzles.
  • Fixed script error related to the Kavat Tek Mod set bonus effects.

Hotfix 31.5.4

May 2, 2022 Forum Post

Angels of the Zariman: Hotfix 31.5.4


Operator & Focus Changes:

A mix of both Community feedback and our own internal digging has brought forth some further changes to Operators and the Focus School System. A couple key goals of the Focus School System changes in Update 31.5.0 was to bring all Schools to the same level (while keeping their identifying attributes) and bring synergy to Warframe and Operator gameplay. While we believe we’ve achieved that, there’s still very understandable feedback surrounding the “survivability of Operators” in higher level combat (most noticeable in the Zariman gameplay). It’s unfair to put players in scenarios where Operator gameplay is required, but not provide a general base bump to their survivability.


All that being said, we have made a few changes to provide this bump:

  • Increased Operator base Health from 250 to 350.
  • Increased Operator base Armor from 25 to 75.
  • Added 350 base Shields to Operator.
    • Shield Gating now applies to Operators, giving you a strategic moment to Transfer back to Warframe, recover in Void Mode, or tough it out!
  • Added +200% Armor to Enduring Tides. Changed to be a “stacking” modifier instead of “multiplicative” to match math logic used for other buffs, while not making additional Health/Armor increases scale further than desired.
  • Increased Magus Vigor to +600 Health.
  • Increased Magus Husk to +250 Armor.

To recap, we’ve changed the math behind Enduring Tides, raised the floor on Operator survivability overall, and provided some buffs to Magus Vigor/Husk. We’ll be watching for further feedback on these changes!


General Operator & Focus Changes & Fixes:

  • Reduced the slight Field of View shift when using Void Sling from 0.5 to 0.2 to address reports of base Field of View inducing nausea. Additionally, when Camera Shake is disabled the Field of View shift on Void Sling is removed.
  • Clarified ‘Void Regen's’ description that it applies to squad members not just Operators.
  • Fixed Unairu’s Magnetic Flare being able to completely strip Profit-Taker’s shields in one cast.
    • Applied the same logic with Magnetic Flare that is used for other bosses (Eidolons and Ropalolyst for example), since completely stripping Shields in a single Magnetic Flare cast removes a large portion of certain gameplay mechanics in these fights.
  • Fixed Madurai’s ‘Power Transfer’ effects not refreshing when re-triggered while active.
    • This also fixes the HUD stating that it was refreshed, when it was indeed not.
  • Fixed an unintended extra cooldown going from Operator to Warframe and back, caused by the ‘Opening Slam’ Focus node.
  • Fixed an incorrect sound being played when Transferring from Warframe to Operator.
  • Fixed Xaku being unable to cast the Vast Untime if they have no Energy available while Inner Might is active.


Changes:

  • Lowered the difficulty of the Void Cascade mission in the Angels of the Zariman quest:
    • Reduced the Thrax units max Health.
    • Reduced the Thrax units max Overguard.
    • Reduced the Thrax units Armor.
    • Lowered enemy count.
      • As we have continued to review feedback, there has been a continuation of difficulty feedback during portions of the quest. While the quest may be easy to complete for some, we want to find accommodations for those who have been struggling to move past certain stages.
  • Added a popup before beginning the Angels of the Zariman quest to prepare player for what's up ahead based on several conditions:
    • General: “The Operator/[Spoiler] will face tough challenges aboard the Zariman, make sure they are as ready as possible.”
    • If the player has Focus Points: “You have enough Focus to unlock additional Focus nodes.”
    • If the player has the Mote Amp equipped: “You have a Mote Amp equipped. Consider equipping a stronger Amp, such as the Sirocco.”
  • Reduced the number of Eximus spawns in the Mastery Rank 27 test.
    • With the Eximus changes in the Angels of the Zariman update, the test was reported to be rather difficult to complete.
  • Adjusted how black colors appear on the Warframe Voidshell Skins with certain Material Structures equipped.
  • Slightly increased the Riven Sliver drop chance from Eximus units in non-Steel Path missions.
  • You can now move the previously unmovable/pre-placed decorations in the Dormizone (and yes this includes the meat cubes on the table).
  • Friendly Energy Leech Eximus now provides a small amount of Energy regeneration (3/s for 3s) to players within 25m when they hit enemies. Time to dust off those Roller Specters, Tenno!
  • Disabled the context action from the Melica Console in the Chrysalith.
  • Added custom icon for the ‘Incarnon Challenges’ category in the in-mission Challenge Progress window.
  • Orokin Drones Eximus units will now only choose between Health Leech and Energy Leech Eximus variants.
    • These units do not have attack animations, and therefore made it impossible to telegraph their Eximus powered attacks.
  • Zariman Syndicate rank up dialogue has been reassigned to the ‘Speech Volume’ slider in the Audio options.
    • This also fixes their dialogue being muted if players had the ‘Transmission Slider’ turned down.


Zariman Mission Changes & Fixes:

  • Decreased the required amount of Vitoplast Globules needed in the ‘Collect X Vitoplast Globules’ Zariman Bounty challenges from 100/150/250 to 75/100/200 and ‘Collect X Large Vitoplast Globules’ from 5/10/15/20 to 4/6/8/10.
  • Potential fixes towards Thrax units not spawning. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1306746-no-thrax-attackers-spawning-at-end-of-void-flood/
  • More fixes towards Void Flood rewards not being given to Clients.
  • Fixed Void Manifestations at times retaining invincibility after destroying Orbs.  
  • Fixed loss of functionality when Client rapidly transfers back to Warframe after getting impaled by Void Manifestation.
  • Fixed Acolytes spawning in Zariman bounties after completing a Steel Path Zariman mission beforehand.
  • Fixed crash related to the Void Manifestations ground spike ability on Host migration.  
  • Fixed crash when starting a Bounty with the ‘Complete Mission Without Abilities’ Zariman Bounty challenge.
  • Fixed Thrax unit not matching enemy levels.
  • Fixed the Chrysalith node not being marked as Complete at the conclusion of the Angels of the Zariman quest.
    • This essentially fixes not being able to select the Zariman's missions on the Steel Path mode from Navigation.
  • Fixed Zariman Bounties rewards not appearing in the public drop tables.
  • Fixed lingering FX from Void Manifestation arena after Operator dies within it.
  • Fixing Host exiting the Void Manifestation arena causing the FX to be removed for Clients.
  • Fixed cases where mission objectives in Void Armageddon would not update.  
  • Fixed marker lingering for Clients after killing Void Manifestation.
  • Fixed a single Mobile Defense Zariman Bounty mission counting as multiple for the Nightwave ‘Protector’ Act challenge.
  • Fixed the “Zariman 'Bounty Complete” text overlapping with the End of Mission “Mission Complete” UI popups.
  • Fixed there being no UI element in multiple in-mission screens not indicating which Zariman mission you are playing.
  • Fixed a script error caused by the new waypoint marker for inactive Void Manifestations in Zariman missions.
  • Fixed more script errors related to Thrax enemies in Void Cascade and Flood missions.
  • Fixed script error related to destroying a Void Manifestation at the same time as Host migrating.
  • Fixed script error in the Void Cascade and Flood missions.
  • Fixed script error in the Void Armageddon missions.
  • Fixed the Steel Path reward not triggering because of the Dormizone counting as a mission node for this region.
    • If you already completed all Steel Path mission nodes before this fix, we’ll be running a script to repair this for you. Please be patient. We will announce when this repair is completed.


Optimizations:

  • Fixed a DirectX 12 crash related to the driver.


Fixes:  

  • Fixed Nekros’ Desecrate and Hydroid’s Pilfering Swarm being able to duplicate Voidplume Pinion and Arcane drops from Void Manifestation fights.
    • Restored these to match Khora’s Pilfering Strangledome and Atlas’ Ore Gaze Augment mods intentionally not applying their loot bonuses on Void Manifestations.
  • Fixed Ivara’s Prowl applying to Thrax units in between their physical and Void states.
    • Looting abilities no longer apply to Thrax units - similarly to Acolytes.
  • Fixed Energy Leech Eximus doing double the effect on Clients.
  • Fixed the new Arcanes from the Angels of the Zariman update all displaying as ‘Common’ in the mission progress screen, regardless of their actual rarity.
  • Fixed Sigils equipped on Warframes not appearing in the same position post-Angels of the Zariman update.
  • Fixed collar and hood missing on the he [Spoiler] Skin (rewarded once completing the Angels of the Zariman quest) with ‘Open Hood’ option toggled on.

  • Fixed issue with how the Steel Path Zariman emote icon appeared.
  • Fixed being able to skip the ‘pick Melee weapon’ and ‘Bullet Jump’ tutorial stages in the Awakening quest.
  • Fixed losing background after viewing, purchasing, or exiting a background diorama from the ‘Customize UI Theme’ selection menu.
  • Fixed frequency of transmissions during Drone Escort Bounties in the Plains of Eidolon being far too high.
  • Fixed UI theme customizations not applying to the Operator Appearance UI.
  • Fixed losing the ability to cast any Warframe abilities for the rest of the mission after jumping onto Yareli’s Merulina when you jump into the Void Manifestation arena.
  • Fixed an invisible wall at the door of Teshin's room in the Strata relay.
  • Fixed being unable to spawn the Demolisher Machinist in the Simulacrum despite it being fully unlocked in the Codex.
  • Fixed the Rank 5 greeting transmission playing at Rank 3 for the Zariman Syndicate.
  • Fixed a spike on Garuda's Ephemera that lacked symmetry. As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/uf561f/intentional_or_lazy_design/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
  • Fixed [PH] tag appearing in the tooltip for ‘Melee with Fire Weapon Input’ and ‘Reload with Context Action’ Options.

Hotfix 31.5.3

April 29, 2022 Forum Post

Angels of the Zariman: Hotfix 31.5.3

Happy Friday, Tenno! This hotfix targets fixing some high priority bugs that we wanted to get out before the weekend hits. We will be back next week after reviewing weekend reports to continue the hotfix train. 

Nidus Maggot Prime Script = Complete! 

The Nidus Maggot Prime script has been completed for the Tenno who purchased the Parasitic Link Pack, Ravenous Pack, and Nidus Prime Accessories Pack on PC. Your new best friend will appear in your Decorations inventory if you meet the criteria!  

Changes: 

  • Added the color reset and randomize buttons when customizing Amp appearance. 
  • Re-named ‘Primary Color’ in the Operator Appearance customization menu to ‘Sigil Color’. 
    • Also re-ordered the ‘Sigil Color’ option to appear before ‘Default Properties’. 
  • Updated the Dojo Map Legend UI to support custom themes.


Fixes:  

  • Fixed the rarity of the Zariman Bounty reward tiers (Common/Uncommon/Rare pools) not being properly assigned - resulting in unintended drop rates. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1306797-gyre-parts-not-dropping/#comment-12493101
    • This directly affected the Gyre and Weapons Blueprints. The UI was inaccurately stating the rarity for each - Gyre’s Component Blueprints were marked as ‘uncommon’ but only had a 2% drop chance, while the Weapon Blueprints were marked as ‘rare’ but had a whopping 21% drop chance. So we have redistributed the drop rates by increasing the drop chance of Gyre’s Component blueprints within the intended ‘uncommon’ rates and lowering the Weapon Blueprints rate to intended ‘rare’ rates. 
  • Fixed Clients not receiving AABC rewards from Void Armageddon missions after completing one Round onwards. 
  • Fixed the Protovyre Ephemera not tracking Focus gained from Zariman missions. 
  • Follow up fix to getting stuck in the Zariman elevator due to being in a ‘full’ public squad, and the session failing to join the mission. 
  • Fixed enemies not spawning when starting a Zariman mission from the Chrysalith immediately following a Void Armageddon or Flood mission. 
    • This also fixes post-Angels of the Zariman missions having spawn issues due to the last stage of the quest being Void Armageddon. 
  • Fixed only one Brilliant Eidolon Shard being consumed when unbinding both possible Unbound abilities in a tree at once. 
    • The UI would state that two were consumed but truly it was only one in the backend. Those who were affected will keep those unconsumed Shards. 
  • Fixed some matchmaking issues in the Zariman after Host migration. 
  • Fixed Clients not seeing proper scaling of the Void Manifestation orbs.  
  • Fixed the ‘What’s New’ screen on login kicking players out of The New War quest. 
  • Fixed Energy/Shield Drain for a Helminth Ability equipped on Hildryn being extremely high after using Inner Might, making it impossible to cast. 
  • Fixed being able to hover while in decoration mode over existing/permanent decorations/furniture in the Dormizone. 
  • Fixed Amp attaching to elbow when customizing colors on [spoiler character]. 
  • Fixed Dojo Map Legend UI lingering if it was visible when you enter Decoration mode. 
  • More fixes towards being unable to enter extremely large Clan Dojos. 
  • Fixed crash related to Sentient abilities. 
  • Fixed crash related to Kavat Mischief Precept mod. 
  • Fixed script error related to Thrax enemies. 
  • Fixed several script errors in the Void Armageddon mission. 
  • Fixed script error with Nidus’ Parasitic Link ability. 
  • Fixed script error related to Sentinel Regen mod. 
  • Fixed script error related to Thrax enemy spawns in Void Flood/Cascade missions. 
  • Fixed script error related to checking challenge progress for Incarnon Weapons while in mission. 

Missed notes from Hotfix 31.5.2:

  • Fixed infinite loading screen during key certain stages of The New War quest. 
  • Fixed rare Client side crash while joining in progress Infested Salvage missions.
  • Fixed script error related to Void Projection.

It’s the day after Update 31.5: Angels of the Zariman! We are here with our second hotfix to address some key stability and fixes. Some next-day feedback has been incorporated in this update. 

 

Eximus Rewards & Palladino Changes:

 

After reviewing Community feedback to the Eximus Unit reward changes in Update 31.5.0, we’ve made some further changes, specifically to the Credit drop. The amount of Credits dropped for high level Eximus Units due to the scaling amount changes weren’t hitting the mark for veteran players who play at that level. We don’t want to remove Credits altogether as new players will find these useful in their journey. 

 

As a result, Eximus Units now drop 500-750 Credits that no longer scale with level. Non-Steel Path Eximus Units level 30+ now have a chance to drop a Riven Sliver, granted at a smaller chance than their Steel Path counterpart to not diminish their value. 

 

As a result of the above changes, Palladino’s Offerings have grown to provide more purchase options for your Riven Slivers, given that you’ll receive more with the above changes.

 

New to Palladino’s Weekly Offerings: 

  • Additional Veiled Riven 
  • 35K Kuva Bundle
  • 150K Credit bundle
    • For those who appreciated the bigger Credit drop from Eximus Units you can now choose to use your Riven Slivers here.

Please note that the per week reset also applies to these Offerings. 

Additionally, we’ve temporarily removed the “Tax the Taxmen” requirement from the Zariman Bounty rotation due to the prior Eximus Credit drop boon making it possible for a majority of players. We’re looking to change this to a “Kill X Eximus Units” challenge instead in the near future. 

 

Syndicate Medallions Change: 

 

We have made a gamewide change to how Syndicate Medallions spawn in missions - this of course also applies to the latest addition of Voidplumes! 

Before: Medallions of all tiers spawn completely at random with no logic attached to it. 

NOW: There is now a guarantee that out of the 8 Medallions that spawn in a mission:

  • 1 will be Rare (aka Voidplume Crest now guaranteed in every mission)! 
  • 2 will be Uncommon
  • The remaining 5 will have a chance to be either Common (75%) or Uncommon (25%).

There is now far more benefit to finding all 8 Medallions, as you are guaranteed 3 higher tier out of the total 8. 

 

Changes: 

  • Changed Void Armageddon “Collect Argozene Crates” Bounty to be 3/5/7/9 instead of 3/5/10/15.
  • Added a tutorial message to the Angels of the Zariman quest during Void Manifestation fight informing that you can Void Sling through Orbs.
    • This tutorial prompt also appears in the fight outside of the quest when assistance is needed. 
  • Added a UI Marker to the “inactive” Void Manifestation if you are doing a Zariman Bounty that requires you to defeat them. 
  • Turning in Zarium Accolades to Melica Caches will now immediately drop the Void Quill instead of after she finishes her voice lines. 
    • This also fixes the issue of Cephalon Melica’s voice lines getting interrupted when interacting with her. 
  • Turned up the volume of the Zarium Accolades. 
  • Added sound FX variations to Gyre’s Arcsphere and Coil Horizon cast. 
  • Updated a couple animations of the Angels of the Zariman characters in the quest. 
  • Changed the ‘Zariman Classroom Scene’ Captura scene to ‘Zariman Schoolyard Scene’ to more accurately reflect it.  
  • Improved the reload animations of the Laetum.
    • Also fixes the Laetum clipping through Warfarme when not aiming down sight. 
  • Added safeguard for when the install drive is removed (or failing) while the game is running.

    • There is still another case of this issue occurring that we are trying to nail down. 
  • Fixed infinite screen shake when spiked by Void Manifestation.

  • Fixed Cascadia Overcharge only being able to be equipped on Secondary Kitguns, instead of all Secondary weapons. 
  • Fixed Subsumed abilities on Lavos being blocked from casting while Inner Might is active. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1306359-new-zenurik-talent-breaks-lavos/?ct=1651150965

ANGELS OF THE ZARIMAN QUEST

The Zariman Ten Zero cries out into the endless darkness that surrounds it. In a post-New War world, something lingers in the Void-ridden ship once inhabited by the Tenno. Its wailing can be heard from afar. Return to it, find the source of its song, and unearth the memories echoing throughout the vacant corridors.

Quest Prerequisite: You must have The New War quest completed in order to unlock the Angels of the Zariman quest in your Codex. If you have not completed The New War, check out our helpful guide: https://www.warframe.com/news/preparing-for-angels-of-the-zariman-en

Similar to the Saya’s Vigil, Vox Solaris, and Heart of Deimos quests, this is a solo gameplay-focused experience that will introduce you to key characters and Zariman related content.

Completing the quest will reward you with gifts from the Void in your Inbox!

Once you have completed the Angels of the Zariman quest, the following gameplay options will become available for you to start venturing deeper into the ship:

  • Zariman Bounties
  • 3x New Missions Types

*More detailed information on the above is provided in their own sections below.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/2de6f8d40418e84f2bdac3b6eaa9bc2f.png

NEW TILESET: ZARIMAN

Go back to where it all began, Tenno. The horrors of the past that took place on the Zariman Ten Zero may be overshadowed by the phantasmic energies that now reside there.

Characterized by its overgrown state and constant flow of Void energy, it has taken a new form. Between the golden figures and trinkets littered around from before the Void-Jump accident, the Void pulses through its veins, twisting and bending the Zariman to its will. The accident left the ship in disarray, with many nooks and crannies that can be discovered and explored.

Explore with caution, Tenno -- even though you may recognize areas from your past, everything is not what it seems.

The Zariman appears in the Star Chart after completing The New War quest, but is only accessible after completing the Angels of the Zariman quest.

Optimization Tip for PC Players:

Be advised that the Zariman tileset is optimized for and looks best with the ‘Enhanced’ Graphics Engine option enabled. We recommend you switch to this under the ‘Video’ tab in Options if your system can handle it to enjoy the finer details of this lush new map!


Zariman Tileset Resources:

Ferrite, Alloy Plate, Voidgel Orb (NEW), Entrati Lanthorns (NEW), and Thrax Plasm are dropped from enemies and can be found in Resource Deposits around the Zariman tileset.

These new resources can also be fed to Helminth.

Voidplumes:

Voidplumes are tokens shed from Void Manifestations which can be used for many things, including:

  • Turned in for Standing in the Chrysalith for a new Syndicate.
  • Used in certain crafting recipes.
  • Used to purchase Voidplume decorations and Kuva from a new vendor’s supplies in the Chrysalith.

Voidplumes can be earned as Bounty rewards. They can also be found scattered around the Zariman tileset in a similar fashion to Syndicate Medallions. Each mission spawns 8 Voidplumes for keen-eyed Tenno to find! A prompt will appear letting you know how many more Plumes can be found in-mission after picking one up.

Similar to Medallions, there are various tiers with different Standing values: higher tiers of Voidplumes can be earned by killing special Void manifestation enemies or from Melica Caches, while lower tiers can be found in-mission and from Bounty drop tables. Listed below are the tiers from lowest to highest:

  • Voidplume Down
  • Voidplume Vane
  • Voidplume Quill
  • Voidplume Crest
  • Voidplume Pinion

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/7218fdb797f2264d73d3890809ca0a37.jpg

Melica Caches & Zarium Accolades:

Zarium Accolades are required to open new caches locked by Cephalon Melica - whom you may remember from your time in the classroom. Melica Caches are marked for your convenience when you’re nearby. To unlock the Melica Cache, you will need to locate a Zarium Accolade - keep an ear out for their distinct sound, or use Loot Radar! Once you find a Zarium Accolade, you can pick them up and bring them to the Melica Console to unlock a Voidplume Quill within.

Melica Caches appear only once the Angels of the Zariman quest is complete, they cannot be found during the quest.

New Somachord Fragments:

Hunt down and scan Somachord Tones throughout the Zariman tileset to unlock 3 new tracks:

  • On Corroded Wings
  • The Offering
  • Canticle

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/60afc5911cebd4e5741d8c0086e2747b.png

NEW ENEMIES

The Zariman brings with it new threats. Aboard the ship you will go toe to toe with the following fresh-faced foes:

Kuva Trokarian The Worm Queen has bestowed these troopers with a miniature Kuva Trokar to disrupt transference.

Derivator Crewman Using the latest in Corpus weapons technology, this Crewman absorbs damage, until it unleashes it all in a powerful shockwave. The Derivator unit is mounted on the back.

Thrax Centurion Equipped with a deadly Scythe, they emanate an energy unknown to us. These mysterious creatures can be found in Zariman missions.

Thrax Legatus Armed and ready with a Rifle, they emanate an energy unknown to us. These mysterious creatures can be found in Zariman missions.

Codename: Void Manifestations Its true name and nature shall be revealed to you soon, Tenno…


https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/b5b653c35353b8407723aaa38e619bc7.jpg

NEW HUB: CHRYSALITH

A familiar location that was first ventured during The New War, the Chrysalith is at the heart of the Zariman. A sanctuary whose bridged walk paths and vistas were once enjoyed by its original passengers is now repurposed as a hub for returning visitors and warriors fending off against the Grineer, Corpus, and others that lay waiting in the halls of the Zariman.

During the Angels of the Zariman quest, you will be introduced to a band of new characters and a new Syndicate who call the Chrysalith home. After you have completed the quest, you will be able to visit the Chrysalith with other Tenno, as you would Fortuna or Cetus.

The Chrysalith is also the first social hub of its kind that allows you to seamlessly access procedural missions without load screens. Jump between missions without ever having to return to your Orbiter’s Navigation.

While inside the Chrysalith, opening the map will display what enemy faction is currently active within the Zariman. Grineer and Corpus squads rotate every 2.5 hours.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/9aef3a5d995b1c219ee511d92eafb670.jpg

This is also indicated by the faction ships closing the distance between themselves and the Zariman in the Star Chart.

NEW SYNDICATE

A new Syndicate is revealed after completing the Angels of the Zariman quest. Band together with Syndicate members stationed in the Chrysalith and gain access to Bounties, Incarnon Weapons, Dormizone & Voidshell goods, and more!

Work your way through the Ranks from Fallen to Angel, and forge bonds to uncover more about the present predicament of the Zariman. This Syndicate can also be accessed from the Syndicate segment in your Orbiter.

ZARIMAN BOUNTIES

Once you have completed the Quest, Bounties become available from within the Chrysalith! These Bounties offer additional challenges for players looking to show their Mastery of the mission types on the Zariman - you will need to bring the best gear for the job! Players can play through the regular versions of these missions from the Star Chart, or opt for the Bounty version for different rewards and Syndicate standing. The Bounty versions are intended to be much more challenging!

Bounties are structured with a distinct objective that must be completed before the player can extract -- or in certain cases can cause a mission failure if the player is unsuccessful. Upon mission completion, players also earn Voidplumes in addition to the Bounty drop table rewards The higher the difficulty, the harder the challenge, the more Plumes are given!

Bounty Rewards:

The following possible rewards can be earned by playing the Bounties:

  • Gyre’s Blueprint and Component Blueprints
  • Alternox Blueprint (New Primary Weapon)
  • Hespar Blueprint (New Heavy Scythe)
  • Aeolak Blueprint (New Primary Rifle)
  • New Resources:
    • Entrati Lanthorn - A ceremonial beacon used to map Void locations onto real space.
    • Voidgel Orb - A sample of ambient Void energy distilled into a neutral state.
    • Thrax Plasm - Found in the remnants of Thrax Void manifestations, this plasm has several surprisingly practical applications.
  • Voidplumes:
    • Voidplume Down
    • Voidplume Vane
    • Voidplume Quill
    • Voidplume Crest
  • Credits, Endo, Greater Focus Lenses, Ayatan Amber Star, and Relics!


NEW MISSIONS TYPES

The Zariman brings with it three new endless mission types: Void Flood, Void Cascade, and Void Armageddon. These missions offer new enemies and challenges! Accompanying these are Exterminate and Mobile Defense mission nodes set in the new Zariman tileset. After completing the Angels of the Zariman Quest, you can start these missions from the Star Chart, or by entering the elevator in the Chrysalith and interacting with the Zariman Navigation panel.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/afee4c6cdc98a791b1a6bb4a9a5c6d5b.jpg


https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/06ffd21c0e92b31fb07a23fecd71ea32.jpg

The enemies you will face aboard the Zariman depends on which faction have staked their claim on the ship. Word of the time-forgotten riches aboard the Zariman has made its way onto both Corpus and Grineer wavelengths. While only one faction will be aboard the Zariman at a time, you can expect to see even rotations of these factions every 2.5 hours as each one fights to claim their time aboard the fabled Zariman.

Base Focus Lenses for each Focus School are in Rotation C of the drop tables for these new endless missions. We wanted to add a new means of earning Lenses in light of all of the Focus changes, while also making later stages of the endless missions worth your while.


VOID FLOOD (EVERVIEW ARC)

Forces born of Void and agony are clawing at the Albrecht membrane, creating Ruptures that saturate areas of the Zariman with Void energy. Introducing Void Flood - a parkour-heavy endless mission focused on maintaining the stability of the Zariman’s Automatic Vitoplast system.

How to play:

The goal is to mend these Ruptures, and in order to do so you must collect essential Vitoplast on-board the Zariman and deliver it to the location of these Void Ruptures. The amount of Vitoplast you collect is indicated by the floating globe accompanying you as you hunt it down. The globe fills with Vitoplast as it is collected, and drains when you are near a Void Rupture. Void Flood will test your refined parkour skills, as the anti-gravity properties of Vitoplast have them scattered high and low across the Zariman.

Be warned, failure to close the Ruptures flood the Zariman with uncontrollable Void Contamination that can enhance your enemy and hinder your strength in various different ways, or even cause the Vitoplast itself to act erratically. The higher levels of Void Contamination present on the Zariman, the greater the challenge. Contamination levels are indicated in a gauge in the HUD, with three levels of randomized effects that will trigger when hit:

  • First level = 40%
  • Second level = 70%
  • Final level = 100%
    • Hitting 100% will start a countdown timer, if the Contamination levels are not lowered by closing Ruptures within that time, players will be forced to extract as the environment has become inhospitable.

Every three Ruptures sealed summons a Thrax Centurion - a strong foe made of both armor and Void energy looking to keep you from sealing up the Ruptures. Your synergy between Warframe and Operator will be required to take down this quick and relentless enemy. Similar to Eximus Units, Thrax Centurions are imbued with Overguard (more on this in the Eximus Reborn section below) which fortifies their stance. Thrax Centurions also directly reward 2,500 Focus Points of the players’ active Focus School for all of those who are within Affinity range once defeated.

You will have the choice to extract after sealing three Ruptures successfully, which also counts as one full round in this endless mission.

The success and length of your mission is fully dependent on your ability to balance consistent damage with elegant parkour. If you can keep up both to the standards of the Zariman Ten Zero, you will be nobly rewarded.


VOID CASCADE (TUVUL COMMONS)

Enemies of the Zariman have caused a great imbalance using the Void energy perforating its walls and manifesting in truly horrifying ways. Introducing Void Cascade - an endless mission mode where you are tasked with cleansing Void-possessed Exolizers to restore the Zariman’s systems.

How to play:

The goal is to combat the Void using devices known as Exolizers. But even the advanced Zariman tech cannot resist the Void forever. It’s up to you to purge them of the Void, and fight off a complete and total Cascade.

Exolizers possessed by the Void are protected by it. Your Operator is key in cleansing it to allow the Exolizer to begin its purging process. Possessed and purged Exolizers are tracked in the HUD, alongside the gauge that indicates the level at which the ship is reaching a Cascade-level disaster.

Upon cleansing an Exolizer, Tenno must face a Thrax Centurian which has possessed the machine, but they will not give up without a fight. If they are not killed quickly, it will feed the Cascade by re-possessing another Exolizer and accelerate the chaos. The more you cleanse, the more chaotic it can get - it will require great focus and skill to maintain the Exolizers the longer you stay.

If you’d rather flee the battle and bank your rewards, it will require four successful purged Exolizers to unlock extraction, which also counts as one full round in this endless mission.

If players are unable to fend off the Cascade and the gauge reaches 100%, extraction will become available.

Restoring the systems of the Zariman won’t be easy, but is necessary to reclaim the ship. It will require great strength and coordination to quell the Cascade, but those who stay to fight will be compensated for their efforts.


VOID ARMAGEDDON (ORO WORKS)

Grineer and Corpus enemies have boarded the Zariman and are targeting its Reliquary for destruction. Exquisitely twisted creations and their minions seek to do the same. Void Armageddon tests your ability to prioritize targets: defend against enemies while protecting the Reliquary aboard the Zariman and the Exodampers that aid you in your objective. Assemble your Arsenal wisely, as this mission is not for the ill-prepared.

How to play:

The goal is to defend the Reliquary from the waves of threats that are looking to destroy it. To aid you in your defense are Exodampers'. These towers will weaken your enemy while they are active, but if destroyed will strengthen them with randomized buffs until the Exodampers respawn. While not essential, without your ' Exodampers, your enemy can focus fire on the Reliquary. If your enemies succeed in destroying it, you will be forced to accept defeat and return back to the Chrysalith. As the chaos grows, Void manifestations will attempt to drain the Reliquary using Void energy. You can track how much of the Reliquary has been drained using the percentage icon above it. If the Reliquary is fully drained, you will have failed your mission. Destroyed or drained, you must fight to prevent the Reliquary from meeting either fates.

Void Armageddon consists of Rounds and Waves:

  • Waves: Enemies will try to destroy Exodampers in waves. To complete a wave, you must eliminate the squad of enemies sent to the Exodamper. After each wave, your enemies will begin to attack from a different angle - follow the instructions on your HUD and move swiftly to the next Exodamper to defend.
  • Rounds: A full round consists of three waves.

If you fail to protect your Exodampers, they will remain destroyed until the next round.

  • For clarity - if an Exodamper is destroyed in Wave 1 in Round 1, it will respawn at the start of Round 2, or the 4th Wave in total.

Grineer and Corpus will be the least of your worries the longer you defend, as Void manifestations appear every three waves and will stand in your way between completing rounds. Traditional combat will be necessary to make a dent, but your skills as your Operator are crucial to defeating this foe. If you succeed in this fight, you and your squad (those within Affinity range of the enemy when defeated) will be rewarded with Focus Points as well as a high-tier Voidplume which must be picked up.

Completing one round of Void Armageddon will unlock extraction, but enemies will continue to attack until you can fight no longer.

You aren’t alone in your efforts. By taking advantage of the Zariman’s built-in defenses, you can utilize strategically placed Armaments - specialized turrets. They can be used to hold off the onslaught of enemies at all angles, but must be constructed first. To build these turrets, locate and capture Argozene Drops, which will provide the Argozene to construct them. To unlock a Drop, you must stand within the indicated zone around it and wait until the box is fully enveloped with energy - at which point it will open and shower you with the crafting material. Argozene is also dropped from fallen enemies. Collected Argozene is shared amongst your squad, so coordinating with them will be required to optimize your strategy.

As long as you have the required Argozene, you can choose from a variety of Armaments to craft:

  • Mazuka - Minigun turret that focuses on one target at a time.
  • Faradon - Arc lightning turret that can strike multiple targets at once.
  • Corralizer - Trap turret that grabs enemies and pulls them in.
  • Giottica - A laser targeted missile launcher.

While they don’t last forever, they can be the difference between losing and keeping your Exodampers and the Reliquary alive. Turret types can quickly be selected by using the default ability cast bindings (1-2-3-4 on PC, and RB+ABXY on controller) while in the selection screen. Custom bindings for abilities will also work!


EXTERMINATE (HALAKO PERIMETER) & MOBILE DEFENSE (THE GREENWAY)

In addition to these new mission types, Exterminate and Mobile Defense nodes are also available on the Zariman!

In Exterminate, you are tasked with destroying the Corpus or Grineer crews that are rummaging around where they shouldn’t be. Take on the classic mission type while navigating the Void-infested Zariman ship. Not all is the same though, as every 30 enemies killed will spawn a Thrax enemy-type.

In Mobile Defense, you must restore the Zariman’s systems that were overcome by the Jump Incident, and defend them while your allies purge out the Void. For the Corpus and Grineer, it is key that the Zariman stay where it is. They will do everything in their power to prevent the Tenno from getting the Zariman’s full power back online. Alongside Corpus and Grineer enemies, a multiple Thrax enemy-types will come to assist in the fight.

General Zariman Mission Notes:

  • All of the Zariman missions are available on the Steel Path and reward ‘The Steel Path - The Zariman’ Trophy and Emote!
    • We will be adding a Steel Path toggle to the Zariman Mission Select in the Chrysalith in a hotfix. For now, to turn on/off Steel Path for Zariman missions you will need to do so in the Navigation from your Orbiter first.
  • In addition to aborting the mission through the pause menu, you can re-enter the elevator and interact with the panel inside to ‘Abort Mission’.
    • Keep in mind that this option acts exactly the same as aborting a mission from the pause menu in terms of rewards and bonuses.
  • Both the Exterminate and Mobile Defense missions have an extraction portal that will spawn once you have completed the objective. The extraction waypoint will mark its location after completing the mission objective. Walking into it will send you back to the elevator for extraction.

INCARNON WEAPONS

A collection of Weapons originally used for ceremonial purposes have become deadly machines after being affected by the Void. They evolve, as does most of what the Void touches.

In the Chrysalith, you’ll meet a character who will teach you the ways of these Incarnon Weapons and how to evolve them based on challenges you complete in-game. With each Evolution you unlock, you can pick your weapon’s upgrades from a variety of options, or re-spec as you wish!

Incarnon Weapons 101:

1. Acquire an Incarnon Weapon:

Blueprints for the following Incarnon Weapons are available from a vendor in the Chrysalith’s Offerings:

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/0db732b0dffedaef21655ffa10454290.jpg

PRAEDOS

Orokin elites admired farmers in conquered regions, because they had learned to fight with modified farming tools despite being forbidden to own weapons. For their voyage, the Zariman were presented with Praedos in recognition of Zariman tenacity. The Void reinforces the strength of the spirited individual by fortifying the Praedos.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/2c83b9a1ea518e4159922a9fafbdf5f4.jpg

PHENMOR

Zariman colonists originally intended to use the Phenmor in burial rights. In Orokin society, the higher the rank, the greater number of volleys for the deceased. Its stock is carved from Phenaureus Pine, a tree designed to release seedlings only onto scorched earth. In the hands of the Void, the Phenmor becomes darkly aggressive.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/dc1799d9cf2a1bfefe11d2ba368085ec.jpg

LAETUM

During parades and victory marches, the Laetum fired pigmented airburst rounds that rained onto festive crowds. The Orokin sent Laetum with the Zariman so they could properly celebrate a successful maiden voyage to Tau. There would be no such celebration, but the Void imbued the Laetum with a much more explosive capacity.


2. Unlock Evolutions by Completing Challenges:

Once you have crafted and equipped an Incarnon Weapon in your Arsenal, its Evolution slots and the challenges associated with unlocking become visible while viewing it in the Arsenal.

Completing the required challenge unlocks that slot, which can then be modified by returning to the vendor in the Chrysalith to select the attributes you’d like to apply.

3. Apply Upgrades to your Incarnon Weapon:

Visit the vendor in the Chrysalith and select the ‘Evolve Incarnon Weapons’ option. You must have the Incarnon Weapon equipped for you to Evolve it. If you have multiple Incarnon Weapons, a selection window will pop up for you to choose the weapon you wish to Evolve. If you do not have any equipped, you can open the pause menu and select ‘Arsenal’ while in the Chrysalith to equip them from there without having to go back to your Orbiter.

Once you have selected an Incarnon Weapon to evolve, you will be presented with this screen:

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/1e5924f4a4b0a7836e28987a1fa74563.jpg

There are a total of 5 Evolutions for any Incarnon Weapon. Each other these Evolution Slots offer their own set of upgrades to unlock.

Evolution I: Incarnon Transmutation

The first Evolution unlocks the Weapon’s Incarnon Transmutation! Which completely alters the look and mechanics of the weapon:

Praedos: https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/dc3b3423a4310de3b1cf937125122990.jpg

Phenmor: https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/1a4cc35fef04e54b7b8f79cf046a981d.jpg

Laetum: https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/321389b4e393ec41ae53f3cc8bbe0163.jpg

Incarnon Transmutation is achieved by building up charge in-mission based on completion of the weapon’s specified task:

  • Phenmor - Headshots charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes.
  • Laetum - Headshot charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes.
  • Praedos - Reach 10x Combo and then Heavy Attack to activate Incarnon Transmutation.

The task can be viewed by hovering over the Incarnon Transmutation slot while viewing the weapon in the Arsenal or in the ‘Evolve Incarnon Weapons’ option.

When there is any amount of charge (indicated by the meter in the reticle for the Phenmor and Laetum, and a FX pulse on the Praedos), Incarnon Transmutation can be activated by using alt fire (Phenmor and Laetum) or Heavy Attack (Praedos). That same meter will drain as you use the weapon in its Incarnon Transmutation.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/f72462dd1bd257d8939ec3fa24ed3088.png

When fully drained it will automatically revert back to its default mode. Incarnon Transmutation can also be manually reverted at any time by using alt fire again while active. Reverting a weapon back from its Incarnon Transmutation will expend its remaining charge.

Evolution II - V: Upgrades

After unlocking Incarnon Transmutation, the Evolutions that follow offer 3 upgrades per slot that are interchangeable and can be swapped at any time at the vendor in the Chrysalith.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/2928bef446dd7e58ffb164224227b436.jpg

You can view your Incarnon Weapons selected upgrades and challenges in your Arsenal.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/768916b7750a7ab910a6a665608d8c09.jpg

4. Build Around Your Evolution Upgrades:

Incarnon Weapons can be modded like any other weapon in the Arsenal, so build your loadouts around your Evolution upgrades and try new combinations for maximum output!

*Note: Stat comparisons for Incarnon Weapons when swapping upgrades in the ‘Evolve Incarnon Weapons’ Screen in the Chrysalith will be coming in a hotfix. And Incarnon Weapons are intentionally skinnable only in their non-Incarnon Transmutation form. A fix will be coming for this in the future.


NEW ARCANES

The Incarnon Weapon vendor in the Chrysalith also offers 10 new Arcanes in their Offerings! They also have a chance of dropping from defeated Thrax and Void Manifestation enemies.

*Stats shown are Rank 5

Molt Efficiency (Warframe) While Shields Are Active: Gain 6% Ability Duration per second, up to a maximum of 36%.

DORMIZONE

Rebuild a home within the Zariman with your very own Dormizone! Located in the lower levels of the Chrysalith, your humble abode awaits. All players who have completed the Angels of the Zariman quest will have their very own Dormizone set up with a dining area, tons of shelf space and a spacious lounge to hang out in. This new accommodation can be accessed from the elevator in the Chrysalith or directly from navigation on the Star Chart.

You may recognize the entrance of your apartment from a pivotal moment in The New War quest. The Dormizone is similar to the Orbiter in that it is your own personal space to customize how you see fit. You can bring your favorite decorations from your Orbiter and outfit this space and give it your own touch.

* Please note that the Orbiter and Dormizone do share your decorations inventory so placing an item in one location means you cannot also place it in the other unless you have more than one of that item.

If you are looking for some new things to adorn your abode with then you will want to talk to a vendor in the Chrysalith near the elevator taking you down to your Dormizone. This vendor provides a plethora of Zariman-themed decorations that you can get in exchange for Standing. In addition to decorations, this Chrysalith vendor carries 15 new Captura scenes featuring various areas across the Zariman. The Zariman’s resident gardener, ‘Vegetation and Environment Regulation Drone - Independent Element’ or ‘VERD-IE’ for short, is available as an adorable Skin, Mask, Tail, and Wings for your Sentinels.

For those who want the maximum amount of real estate, the Chrysalith vendor can give you the key for your own observatory-like penthouse called the Vista Suite. All you need to do is attain the Rank of Angel with the new Syndicate and provide the necessary Standing.

Dormizones add four new spaces to showcase your trophies, displays, and more! In addition to the three rooms of the Dormizone, you are also free to decorate the landing area from where you exit the elevator leading up to and around the entrance of your apartment. Similar to your Orbiter, Dormizones do have a decoration capacity limit based on the size of each space. Did we mention that your Companions can freely roam around as well? Bring them with you since they have their own place within the Dormizone area and we are sure they would enjoy the change in scenery.


https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/9f3a524e933a8d70a67ebc0355bbe2b5.jpg

Unique to the Vista Suite is a window outlook that provides exceptional views of space and void energy, but can also be customized using interchangeable views called Vistagraphs. These picturesque scenes can also be further enhanced by selecting an Audioscape to accompany them with. Will you be lost among the sounds of the Sands of Mars, or will the tranquility of Oasis provide a quiet respite from your battles? Both Vistagraphs and Audioscapes can be purchased for Platinum. At launch there will be four Vistagraphs and ten Audioscapes to choose from.

Vistagraphs:

  • The Path Imponderable
  • The Vallis Breathes
  • Impossibility Dawn
  • Silent Blue

Audioscapes:

  • Eidolon Rain
  • Forests of Terra
  • Rock Pillars
  • Sands of Mars
  • Systems Edge
  • Jungle Spaceport
  • Mountain Lake
  • Oasis
  • Temple Gates
  • Treacherous Marsh

With all this new space to showcase your creativity don’t forget to invite your squad over to check out your pad. Players in your squad can visit your Dormizone as long as you are the Host and they have also completed the Angels of the Zariman quest. Dormizones are Host respective, which means that traveling to a Dormizone in a squad will land you in the Host’s. When you are ready to return to missions or decide to leave the Dormizone, then the Host needs to leave to bring the entire squad back to the main floor of the Chrysalith or back to your Orbiters. So bring your friends, Tenno, and unwind in your new home.

*Unlike the [spoiler] Camp or your Orbiter, the Navigation menu is not available in the Dormizone. However, you can still use the Equipment menu options to access your Arsenal, customize your Operator, or even check your Inventory. This is truly a place where you want to unwind away from the pressures of the Origin System! This is only the beginning of your interactions with the Dormizone, Tenno, more will come in the future.

VOIDSHELL SKINS

The Void Jump transmogrified lifeforms and materials alike. In the Void’s clutches, even threads were imbued with adaptive properties. Suddenly, Zariman uniforms seemed to change from cloth, to stone, to metal, to liquid and back again as if of their own free will. The colonists realized materials had manifested new chemical structures, and a character you have yet to meet soon learned to control the transformations. Voidshell imbues cosmetics with the morphic material created in the Void Jump.


Introducing a brand new customization system that allows you to change the Material Structures on Voidshell Skins. There are Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Accent slots that can be swapped to materials of your choosing.

FOCUS SCHOOL SYSTEM REWORK

Focus School is in session! The Focus System is getting an extensive rework to refresh the gameplay potential of Operators, movement, School identity and balance.

WHAT IS FOCUS?

Focus has been a lot of things over the years. What started in 2015 as a pivotal decision moment in Warframe’s story has continually evolved into its own form of gameplay: Convergence was introduced alongside Focus Lenses to give players an added boost to collecting Focus, Update 22: Plains of Eidolon shook the system up to add new Focus School nodes and Way-Bound abilities, and Update 22.6 attempted to bring the 5 schools’ power levels closer together with numerous abilities reworked.

At its core, Focus aimed to be an exciting new path to enjoy Warframe from the lens of another character. What we’ve come to realize over the many years is that there was a lack of true synergy between Operator and Warframe. We hope to change that while also bringing something fresh to the table!


OPERATOR GAMEPLAY REWORK OVERVIEW

The Operator Gameplay and Focus School reworks aim to improve the flow between Warframe gameplay and Operator gameplay, with the goal of encouraging players to swap more frequently between their Operator and Warframe to maximize the benefits received from both gameplay systems.

As with all our major system overhauls, we encourage you to give it some time in your own hands before delivering your constructive feedback!

For Operator Gameplay specifically, these changes come in three major ways: first, the introduction of Void Sling; secondly, re-engineering Operators to be Client-authoritative to reduce jank caused by latency issues related to the mission host; thirdly, removal of Void Blast to allow Melee inputs to cause automatic Transference from Operator to Warframe.

Void Sling is the intended replacement of Void Dashes as a more fun and controllable system. In full transparency, the current state of sustained Void Dash movement has a spam-centric loop that we want to refine. We are very much approaching this like how we added Bullet Jump to Parkour: we want movement to be king, but better controlled. Current Void Dash does not provide easily controlled movement in the typical gameplay spaces. We are aiming to strike a balance to ensure good distance can still be covered, but some re-mastery will be required of this new movement system (much like having to learn Bullet Jumping)!

Additionally, Operator Transference has been re-engineered to be Client-authoritative to alleviate the common scenario of latency. Previously, Transference was Host-authoritative, meaning when Clients used Transference the responsiveness was determined by the round trip network latency. In order for the new Void Sling functionality to be more responsive, the switch was made to be Client-authoritative.

Void Dash to Void Sling

The Operator sends a Void Sling of themselves and then Void Slings to it. It is the Operator’s ‘Double Jump’. *After its debut on Devstream #160 and following further playtesting, the team has since increased the overall speed of the Operator’s Void Sling thanks to feedback.

  • Tap or hold jump while in the air to send out your Sling. A tap will travel a minimum distance before the Void Sling.
  • Void Sling can also be activated using the old Void Dash input, by holding jump while in crouched Void Mode.
  • Holding jump sends out the Void Sling further, up to the Sling's maximum distance, which upon being reached, will automatically Void Sling the player to that space.
  • Letting go of jump before hitting the maximum distance is reached will initiate a Void Sling.
  • The Void Sling is sent out in the direction the camera is facing once fully charged, or upon release.


Void Blast to Warframe Melee Transfer Melee input while using your Operator will now instantly Transfer to your Warframe and perform a Melee attack.

  • Having no Melee weapon equipped will result in Transferring to your Warframe holding your Primary/Secondary instead.
  • Warframe Melee Finishers can be triggered as Operator with ‘Use’ input near an unaware or stunned enemy, automatically insta-Transferring to Warframe to perform them.
  • So what about Void Blast? It’s been retired and replaced with the above. For scenarios where Void Blast is requested (disarming Kuva Guardians, etc) using the new Void Projection mechanic (or Amps in some cases) will do the trick.
    • "On Void Blast" Arcanes now trigger on Void Sling.


FOCUS SCHOOL REWORK

The Focus School rework aims to boost the lesser used Schools by a) giving them more interesting and useful abilities, b) defining a clear role and gameplay style for each school, and c) incentivizing Warframe-Operator Transference as part of the core gameplay loop.

General Notes:

  • Ability Inputs while in Operator are now used to perform brand new Focus School abilities! Each School is launching with 2 Abilities, meaning that what you use to cast your Warframe’s First and Second Abilities (i.e 1 & 2 keys on PC) now have a use while in Operator!
  • The Pool has been removed! Any Focus points you’ve spent on upgrading your Pool capacity will be returned to you in the form of Radiant Eidolon shards, which you can convert into Focus points for a School of your choosing. The original intention of the Pool was to allow you to select the active nodes within your chosen Focus School, but as time went on the Pool only added unnecessary complexity for no real gameplay benefit.
  • Removed passive draining abilities because players would typically have deactivated these abilities to avoid the passive Energy drain. Any abilities that spend Energy are manually triggered as opposed to passively draining.
    • As a result, we’ve removed the toggling functionality to have nodes on or off as Pool capacity and passive draining abilities are no longer a factor.
  • The Focus School UI has been updated! Not only does the UI now apply your chosen UI Theme, but each School screen displays a legend of all Way-Bound abilities to easily reference the ones you have unlocked. This legend also allows you to quickly switch between schools with the click of a button.
  • Fully maxing all the nodes of a Focus School will grant you access to Represent. Rep your School with all new cosmetics (purchased with Focus points) via the Represent button in the respective Focus School’s screen.
  • As an additional way to earn Focus, Enemies that require using the Operator to kill them now have a chance to grant Focus towards your active School!
    • Please note that this Focus gained from new enemies aboard the Zariman does not currently show in the End of Mission screen. This fix will come with our next Mainline build.
  • Transference Static (dying while the Operator) has been reworked as well. The Transference Static when dying as the Operator now has increasing consequences. A majority of the Focus Rework is to bring synergy between Operator and Warframe that ideally allows for less Transference Static overall. The consequences are as follows:
    • First Operator death - 20% Warframe Health reduction
    • Second Operator death - 50% Warframe Health reduction
    • Third Operator death - 80% Warframe Health reduction
    • Fourth Operator death - straight into Warframe pre-death state
  • Several new animations for Operator abilities have been added to fit the changes.
  • All Amps are now not silent by default (except for Mote Amp, Shwaak Prism, Rahn Prism, Cantic Prism and the Sirocco).
  • Increased the amount of Affinity converted to Focus from Convergence Orbs from 8x to 10x.
  • The War Within tutorial stages have been updated to accommodate these changes.

*All the values below for Focus School nodes are shown at max rank.

MADURAI

The Madurai way follows the path of Engage the Enemy. Speed and savagery characterized the Madurai school.

Madurai’s abilities focus on granting that offensive edge in combat with a combination of Damage increases, weapon efficiency, and Speed enhancements to recklessly attack your foes.

  • 6 new Focus abilities.
    • POWER TRANSFER (Passive)
      • 100% Amp Critical Damage for 20s on switching to Operator. 50% Casting Speed on switching to Warframe.
    • VOID FUEL
      • 40% Weapon Efficiency for Operator and Warframe while Void Strike is active.
    • CHAINED SLING
      • 50% Energy Efficiency on Consecutive Void Slings.
    • SLING STRENGTH
      • Switching to Warframe after a Chained Sling adds 40% Ability Strength for 20s.
    • CONTAMINATION WAVE (Second Ability input)
      • Second Ability emits a Void wave lasting 2s that drenches enemies with Void Contamination making them 50% more vulnerable to Operator Damage for 20s.
        • Added a mark FX similar to Ash's Bladestorm for Contamination Wave. Each contamination level will display its own marker above enemies.
    • DISTILLED CONTAMINATION
      • Killing an enemy affected by Contamination Wave makes all affected enemies 25% more vulnerable, while also making the effect last 10s longer. Maximum 4 stacks.
  • Eternal Gaze and Inner Gaze remain unchanged.
  • Reworked Void Strike:
    • It is now the First Ability input.
    • First Ability consumes all Operator energy to increase damage for 8s. Deal 10% additional damage for every percentage of Operator energy consumed. 40s cooldown.
      • eg. 100% of Energy consumed is 1000% damage.
      • Why: Old Void Strike’s long charge up time didn’t provide an ideal gameplay experience within the fast paced environment. Players found themselves sitting in Void Mode waiting for the Damage bonus to build up. Now Void Strike no longer needs Void Mode and has instant damage on input. Additionally, Void Strike is Duration based now instead of per shot, meaning damage gets applied to all pellets of a shotgun for instance.
  • Tweaked Phoenix Talons:
    • Physical Damage and Operator Damage increased by 30%.
    • Why: Adding the additional Operator Damage allows for benefits for both Warframe and Operator in the name of synergy.


UNAIRU

The Unairu push themselves to Outlast The Enemy. Those who mastered the Unairu school are granted enhanced damage resistance and damage reflection.

Unairu’s main pillar aims to make Unairu a proper tank Focus School with increased Armor, and opportunities for increased immunity and survivability.

  • 8 new Focus Abilities.
    • POISE
      • Gain immunity to slow, stagger, and knockdown effects for 40s after Transferring between Operator or Warframe.
    • LAST GASP (Passive, Way-Bound)

    • VENGEANCE (Passive, Way-Bound)
      • During Last Gasp, Operator Damage is increased by 100% plus an additional 25% per second.
    • MAGNETIC FLARE (First Ability input)
      • Use First Ability to create a 8m radius field that lasts for 30s and disables the shields of any enemy that enters it.
    • CAUSTIC STRIKE (Second Ability input)
      • Second Ability launches an energy bomb that explodes with a 8m radius, stripping 100% of enemy armor. Tap Second Ability again to detonate in-flight.
    • MAGNETIC BOOST
      • Void Sling out of a Magnetic Flare to refresh its duration and increase its radius by 100%.
    • REINFORCED RETURN
      • Warframe is invulnerable for 4s after Operator is downed. Tap X as Operator falls to bring the Warframe to the Operator’s location.
    • STATIC PURGE
      • 100% chance to clear Transference Static on kill while Reinforced Return is active.
  • Reworked Unairu Wisp:
    • 100% chance to summon an Unairu Wisp for each enemy hit by Sundering Dissipation that will seek out the nearest ally within Affinity Range and increase their Operator damage by 100% for 20 secs.
      • Why: Its new coexistence alongside another Focus ability unifies the 2 together to add another layer that benefits both Warframe and Operator. It also removes having to pick up the Unairu Wisp manually, and will instead find you within Affinity Range.
  • Tweaked Stone Skin:
    • Increases Armor for Warframe and Operator by 200.
      • Why: Adding the additional Operator Armor allows for benefits for both Warframe and Operator in the name of synergy.


ZENURIK

The Zenurik believed the clearest path to victory was to Dominate the Enemy. Those who master the Zenurik school believe that sheer strength could erase any resistance.

Rest assured the core of Energizing Dash remains as-is with some slight updates. Our goal is to bring other Focus Schools up to the level of Zenurik while still maintaining the School’s tactical benefits.

  • 6 new Focus Abilities:
    • HARDENED WELLSPRING (First Ability input)
      • Tap First Ability inside a Wellspring to increase its size, boost its duration by 20s, and grant 20% Ability Strength to those inside.
      • Wellspring is the new name for (the relatively unchanged) Energizing Dash, which you can read about further below.
    • TEMPORAL DRAG (Second Ability input)
      • Second Ability emits a radial burst slowing any enemy it touches by 80% for 10s.
    • TEMPORAL SHOT (Passive)
      • Precision head shot damage increased by 100% on enemies afflicted with Temporal Drag.
    • DISARMING SLING

  • Void Flow, Void Siphon, and Energy Pulse remain unchanged.
  • Energizing Dash is now Wellspring with the slight change of being a direct input Ability (First Ability input) as opposed to a Void Dash.
    • This also affects Necramechs.

NARAMON

The Naramon discipline focuses on Knowing The Enemy. They believed that to truly understand a foe would confer the greatest advantage upon a warrior.

True to its focus in the art of assault, Naramon continues to heavily lean towards a Melee support role with speed and distance enhancements.

  • 7 new Focus Abilities.
    • OPENING SLAM
    • Performing a Slam as Operator switches to Warframe and grants double Combo gain for 20s.
    • AMP SPIKE
      • Transfer to Operator with 8x Combo Multiplier to increase Amp Damage by 100% for 40s.
    • VOID LEVITATION (First Ability input)
      • First Ability creates a 6m wide shockwave lasting 4s, that inflicts Lift Status on all enemies it touches.
    • LETHAL LEVITATION
      • Additional 50% Damage per Lifted enemy attacked by Operator. Lasts for 60s, stacks up to 4x.
    • SLING STUN (Second Ability input)
      • Second Ability increases the width of the next Void Sling by 100% and enemies hit are vulnerable to Finishers, taking 30% more finisher damage.
    • KILLER’S RUSH
      • Initiating a finisher as Operator switches to Warframe, increasing melee Critical chance by 50% for 40s.
    • FAR SLING (Passive)
      • Increases maximum Void Sling distance by 30%.
  • Mind Step remains unchanged.
  • Power Spike and Affinity Spike have switched places so that Power Spike is now the starting node.

VAZARIN

The Vazarin are trained to Counter The Enemy. Those who mastered the Vazarin school maintain constant awareness in order to defend against all aggression.

The Vazarin Focus School aims to now be a proper support School in both life and death.

  • 6 new Focus Abilities:
    • VOID REGEN
      • Void Mode starts healing at +10 Health per second, increasingly by 10 per second up to a maximum of 50.
    • SQUAD REGEN
      • When Void Regen reaches its maximum, it is applied to Operators within the Affinity Range for 40s.
    • VOID SNARE (Second Ability input)
      • Second Ability launches a projectile that spins up a vortex trap on impact, or tap Second Ability again to detonate in-flight. Trap lasts 8s. Void Sling through trapped enemies to grant yourself and allies within Affinity Range 100 Health.

    • GUARDIAN SHELL (First Ability input)
      • Use First Ability to manifest a barrier on the Operator and allies in Affinity Range. It is invulnerable for 4s when first created and damage inflicted while its invulnerable will be added to its base health of 500.
    • GUARDIAN BREAK
      • When Guardian Shell breaks, Warframe Shield Regeneration rate is increased by 150% and Regeneration Delay is reduced by 90%, for 8s.
  • Enduring Tides and Mending Unity remain unchanged.
  • Tweaked Rejuvenating Tides:
    • Effect is doubled while controlling your Warframe.
      • Why: Additional benefit between using both Warframe and Operator.
  • Tweaked Mending Soul:
    • The first 4 Revives are instantaneous. Additional Revives are 100% faster.
      • Why: Players would often remark that the ability eventually became useless in longer missions. Mending Soul retains its immediate strengths, but once used up, now offers a more permanent benefit!


Focus Refund & Re-spec

Upon login, all Focus points will need to be re-spec’d. You will be met with 2 types of Focus Refunds in order to execute this:

  1. All your Focus points will be returned to their respective School.
    • I.e. my 5,000,000 Focus points I put into Madurai will be returned to that School for me to freely re-spec how I want.
  2. Any Focus points you’ve spent on upgrading your Pool capacity will be returned to you in the form of Radiant Eidolon shards via Inbox, which you can convert into Focus points for a School of your choosing.

While re-investing your Focus into the updated Focus Nodes, you might see a difference in Node costs and School costs depending on which Way you follow. Overall, the total Focus required should be very similar (if not slightly cheaper) than the old system, but costs are now standardized across Schools and Nodes. When re-spec’ing, make sure you use your old Pool investment that was refunded via Radiant Shards, as the previous Pool cost has been rolled into the new Node values.

If you had maxed out a School before this update, you should be able to now as well using the re-spec’d Focus points and refunded Radiant Shards -- or at least very close to it, as some Schools (ex: Vazarin and Naramon) used to be cheaper than others.

To recap, if you have invested in the Focus system, upon login you will receive an inbox message with the following:

  • Focus points from every Focus node you invested in.
  • Refunded Brilliant Eidolon Shards
    • Based on the number of Way-Bound nodes unlocked.
  • Refunded Radiant Eidolon Shards
    • Based on the amount of points invested in Pool upgrades.
  • (BONUS) 5x Lua Focus Lenses:
    • 1x Lua Unairu Lens
    • 1x Lua Naramon Lens
    • 1x Lua Zenurik Lens
    • 1x Lua Vazarin Lens
    • 1x Lua Madurai Lens

EXIMUS REBORN

We have reworked one of our oldest foes in the game: Eximus units! Introduced in Update 12, Eximus units were added as ‘Enemy Leaders,’ meant to bolster their allies with improved stats and support abilities. While that core design intention still rings true, we felt it was time they were given a refresh to bring them up to speed both in terms of their gameplay and their appearance in-game. Dress for success, especially when you’re a top enemy in the field.

We’ve also put together a handy Dev Workshop video that provides a broad overview of the changes listed here:

https://youtu.be/OS4f5tn6vb8

The main objective of this Eximus Rework is to make them stand out more in battle, both in how they function and in how formidable they are to face against. We aim to achieve this in 2 ways:

  1. Amplify their threat with increased time-to-kill - accompanied with justifying rewards!
  2. Enhancing their visual and mechanical functions to be more identifiable in combat.

These two shifts for Eximus units should make them more challenging to kill, but also make their specific threats easier to identify, giving players a more tactical way to evade them.

To amplify the Eximus threat and increase the time-to-kill we’ve made tweaks to their:

  • Warframe power resistances - which we are calling Overguard
  • Health, Shield, & Armor scaling

Currently, the different Eximus types have slightly different resistances and combat advantages. For instance, Arson Eximus will reduce Fire Damage taken; Leech Eximus will add extra Puncture Damage to its damage dealt. These stat changes are invisible to a player and don’t really have any noticeable impact on gameplay. Instead of keeping unique but forgettable specific resistances to Eximus units, we’re adding a new universal type of Eximus resistance and tweaking the way their Health, Shields & Armor scale across the board to turn them into more formidable adversaries.

Warframe Power Resistance: Introducing Overguard

Eximus units now have a new kind of defense called Overguard, which is a new Health pool on top of their regular stats that a) must be removed before players can take down their Health/Shields, and b) offers additional immunities to the Eximus, making them a priority target in-missions.

While Overguard is active, it will keep Eximus units immune to Warframe crowd control abilities and anything that will stagger, knockdown, stun, mind control, ragdoll, and blind. Additionally, Overguarded enemies will be unaffected by Radiation Status Effects and will be susceptible to a maximum of 4 Cold Status Effects at one time. However, Overguard is particularly susceptible to Void damage (including Xaku’s Xata’s Whisper), which will overall improve the flow and synergy between Warframe and Operator combat flow when engaging with Eximus units. This will encourage you to engage with them more interactively as opposed to easily overpowering them with abilities alone. It should shift the focus of fighting Eximus units to using a mixture of weapons and teamwork, and make Eximus units feel like more of a true threat to Warframes.

Overguard is an additive amount independent of Enemies Health/Shield scaling, and is indicated with a bar overtop of their existing Health/Shields. With the goal of making Eximus units more consistent in terms of difficulty, Overguard will scale by level but will be the same amount across all Eximus enemy types.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/17dca8f860ce7e40c5ef761e7b53d98a.png

Once an Eximus has their Overguard taken out, they will be fully susceptible to crowd control abilities. Once taken out, Overguard does not regenerate! An important note for Hound Companions Null Audit functionality: Hounds will now copy Eximus Auras, as opposed to stealing. If an Eximus with active Overguard is struck by a Hound wielding a copied Eximus ability, they will strip the Eximus’ Overguard by 50%.

Overguard was introduced as a means to make Eximus units feel more formidable, while also providing Tenno a way to crush their defenses with some solid teamwork and concentrated firepower.

With the addition of Overguard, we’ve updated the scope of which abilities are considered to be crowd control. Note that these abilities will still do their intended damage -- it is only the crowd-control effect of the abilities that won’t apply while Overguard is present.

  • Sevagoth’s Gloom
  • Chroma’s Effigy: Sentry
  • Xaku’s The Lost
    • Gaze
    • Deny
      • If Overguard is active, enemies will not be put into aerial Stasis
    • Accuse
      • No longer changes faction of enemies if immune to Mind Control, such as when Overguard is active
    • Note: These changes to The Lost also apply to other Crowd Control Immune enemies
  • Garuda’s Seeking Talons
  • Mirage’s Sleight of Hand
  • Mirage’s Prism
  • Khora’s Ensnare
  • Volt’s Discharge
  • Baruuk’s Lull
  • Harrow’s Condemn
  • Excalibur’s Radial Blind
  • Ivara’s Quiver: Sleep arrow
  • Revenant’s Reave
  • Revenant’s Mesmer Skin
  • Inaros’ Desiccation
  • Yareli’s Sea Snares
  • Limbo's Banish
    • Eximus ignore the knockdown effect of Banish while Overguard is active, however they can still be sent to the Rift plane regardless of Overguard
  • Limbo’s Stasis

Keep in mind that this list is not exhaustive to all Warframe abilities that Overguard is resistant to, simply ones that we are now considering Crowd Control as of this update.


Limbo’s Rift & Eximus Limbo can still send Eximus to the Rift plane where their damage will be avoided, but Eximus Abilities will now ignore the Rift plane.

  • Originally the Workshop listed ‘Limbo's Rift & Cataclysm’ to now be considered CC, but this was not an accurate description. Limbo can still send Eximus to the Rift plane while Overguard is active.

Overguard: Banshee's Silence Banshee's Silence will now negate any active Eximus abilities and prevent any Eximus abilities from being cast while it is active. Guardian Eximus Shields (and their AOE resistance), Toxin Clouds from Venomous Eximus, or the Arctic Dome from the Arctic Eximus will all be disabled.

  • Note: the friendly 90% damage reduction Aura from Guardian Eximus, and the Arctic Eximus slow aura will not be disabled by Silence (This may be subject to change!)

Overguard: Ancient Healers Currently, Ancient Healers provide a 90% damage reduction to their allies in range and increased resistance to crowd control abilities. Visually, this is only indicated by a pulsing glow on buffed enemies in range. This is often confusing if you don’t already know that the crowd control resistance and damage reduction is being applied from Ancient Healers.

We have changed Ancient Healers to provide allies in range with Overguard that is applied at 9x their overall Health. This value simply matches the current level of damage reduction and crowd control resistance provided by Ancient Healers, but with Overguard it will now provide a clear visual indicator that the enemies are being boosted by their Ancient ally!

Overguard can be taken out on enemies bolstered by Ancient Healers through a few different ways:

  • Dealing damage to Overguard
  • Killing the Ancient Healer providing Overguard
  • Drawing them out of range from the Ancient Healer
    • Currently, any enemy that receives an Overguard buff from an Ancient Healer is one time only, they cannot receive Overguard again when back in range or from a new enemy Healer.

Unlike Ancient Healer Eximus, non-Eximus Ancient Healers provide Overguard to allies in range but do not have it themselves. Overguard from Ancient Healers will not apply and stack with innate Eximus Overguard. Also, friendly Ancient Healers (such as Specters) will not be providing Overguard on players in this rework, but this functionality may come in a future update!


Health, Shield & Armor scaling Health, Shields, and Armor for Eximus now all scale faster at higher levels up to a point, where it eventually flattens out and doesn’t scale exponentially, giving them a boost to their overall tankiness. Our intent here is to give a slight boost to enemies like Butchers more than Heavy Gunners, and to make difficulty more consistent across enemy types. A Heavy Gunner will still be tougher than a Butcher might be, but the gap between the two will be much closer than if it was affected by a traditional flat multiplier. Across the board, this should make the difficulty of any given Eximus more consistent regardless of enemy type. Note these changes are only for Eximus units, their regular counterparts will retain the same scaling tech.

Armor will also have a similar method of scaling, by boosting low-armored enemies more than high-armored enemies it will help close that difficulty gap between enemy types. For enemies without Armor, they will get additional Health and Shields outside of the regular Eximus scaling to compensate.

As a result, Eximus overall should feel beefier, scale faster at a higher level, and be more consistent across different enemy types.


Visual & Mechanical Enhancements: We also want to make Eximus stand out more, so we gave unique visual identifiers for each type of Eximus! They now each have their own blend of distinct audio and visual FX that will help you identify them more easily in combat, and also give you a better way to recognize their Eximus type and tactically evade their abilities. As a general note for Eximus, they will only spawn their Eximus effect once they’ve been alerted to combat. For those Tenno that prefer stealth gameplay, this is a great opportunity to get a stealth finisher on an unalerted Eximus to take them out before they pose a threat.


Supported Eximus Type per Faction: We’ve made changes to widen the eligibility pool of certain Eximus types - all with supporting casting animations:

General Pool for all Factions: Arctic, Blitz, Energy Leech, Leech, and Shock Corpus Specific: Guardian Grineer Specific: Arson Infested Specific: Venomous

Corrupted versions will use the same pools as their original faction (so Corrupted Ancients could use Venomous, and Corrupted Lancer could use Arson). Additionally, Roller Eximus will now be available as only Energy Leech or Health Leech Eximus due to gameplay functionality.

Archwing Eximus Archwing Eximus units will not receive Overguard. It is mainly being excluded because Archwing combat is more limited in the ways that you’d be able to take out Overguard. Archwing gear itself does slightly less damage than its ground counterpart and has a smaller pool of crowd control abilities. Overall, we believe it to be a better fit to simply update the Eximus abilities and effects, but leave Overguard for the ground Eximus.

New Eximus Mercy Functionality As a part of the Eximus Rework, we have also updated the condition to Mercy Kill certain Eximus that did not have this in the past!

Here is a list of the new Eximus types that can be finished with Mercy Kills:

  • Mutalist MOA’s
  • Amalgam MOA’s
  • Deimos Carnis
  • Crawlers
  • Nox
  • Embattor MOA’s
  • Amalgam Heqit
  • Amalgam Machinist

In addition, we have fixed all Crawler Eximus units so they can now cast their respective Eximus abilities! Watch out for your toes, Tenno.

Below is a list of each Eximus type and a comparison of their current vs reworked versions:

BLITZ / VOLATILE


Was A Seismic Shockwave knockdown with short range.

NEW Blitz Eximus units now summon a frontal chain Blast attack by slamming their fist into the ground, applying a knockdown and Blast Status Effect. This Blast attack is signaled by an audio cue and FX of the oncoming Blast erupting from below.


Visual Changes Blitz Eximus units are now covered in crackling energy, with the addition of small staggered explosions coming from their limbs.


ENERGY LEECH / PARASITIC


Was An invisible aura that drains Energy over time.

NEW Energy Leech and Parasitic Eximus units now periodically spawn an Energy Leech Zone near the player. The Energy Leech Zone is detonated within seconds, draining a large amount of Energy if not tactically avoided. This Zone is identified by an expanding energy zone and audible cue on placement & detonation.

Visual Changes Energy Leech and Parasitic Eximus units now appear shrouded in Void-like energy, manifesting in short tendrils swirling from their body. The Energy Leech Zone spawns with a matching energy style and appearance before imploding in a burst.


ARSON / CAUSTIC


Was A concussive Fire Blast attack that knockdowns and damages enemies caught in its wake.

NEW Arson Eximus units maintain a Fire Blast attack, but you can now counter the Fire Blast by simply rolling through it to negate its oncoming effect. However, Damage is now higher along with a forced Heat Status Effect when struck.

Visual Changes Arson Eximus units are now completely engulfed in roaring flames. They occasionally send out these deadly flames in all directions as a slow rolling burst. The Fire Blast attack has been visually refreshed to not only match the fire FX engulfing the Eximus unit, but also to represent a “roaring wave” of fire as opposed to a blinding wall.


GUARDIAN


Was A radial shield charge pulse for allied enemies in range.

NEW Guardian Eximus now provide significant damage reduction to its allies (your enemies!), which is indicated by a collection of smaller shields circling around them.The Guardian Eximus units have 3 rotating shields that fully block incoming damage on themselves, and also create a similar visual effect on nearby allies that applies a Damage Reduction buff on them. This damage reduction does not affect VIP enemies such as Demolysts, Capture targets, or Bosses, and does not stack with other friendly Guardian Eximus. However, it will affect other Eximus units within a range! Additionally, Guardian Eximus will only spawn their Shields when alerted. For the stealthy Tenno, sneak up on them and use a finisher before their defenses are up!

Important Note on Guardian Eximus related to AOE attacks: Guardian eximus shields are immune to punch through, and Guardians have very high resistance to AOE damage for themself. Units protected by the Guardian's aura are not immune to punch through nor do they have any special resistance to AOE, just the generic 90% resistance to everything.

Visual Changes Guardian Eximus units now exhibit 3 large blue rotating shields. These shields have visible gaps between them, offering multiple opportunity windows to shoot your foe. Allies with Overguard applied now display a simpler version of the shields with similar rendering but with a different shape to avoid confusion. The smaller shields on buffed allies do not physically block damage like their Eximus counterpart, but act as a visual indicator that Damage reduction is being applied.

Corpus Guardian Eximus exclusion: Ospreys We are omitting Corpus Ospreys from Guardian Eximus eligibility for a couple reasons. With their impenetrable rotating shields, Guardian Eximus are more susceptible to melee attacks - which are far trickier to land on flying Ospreys. Similarly, Mercy attacks are one of the best ways to take down an Eximus, which can’t be executed on Ospreys. Simply put, we felt having Ospreys as Guardian Eximus felt too challenging without the familiar takedown tactics available.

ARCTIC / FROZEN

Was A large protective globe of ice.

NEW No changes.

Visual Changes The globe does the job already!


LEECH / SANGUINE


Was Life steal from player on damage, but this is negligible due to the scale of Player vs enemy Health.

NEW Similar to their Energy counterparts, Leech Eximus now spawn Health Leech Zones which tick away at your Health shortly after spawning, healing nearby enemies. Players need to avoid the Zones to avoid the effect!

Visual Changes Leech Eximus units glow red with a pulsing vortex of energy generated from its core. The Eximus sends out a small zone of the same energy which quickly pulses as it drains a portion of your Health. Killing the Eximus or downing it into a Mercy state will disrupt any active health leech zones.


SHOCK / BIO-ELECTRIC (new)


We have added a new Eximus variant by allowing Infested enemies to now become imbued with electric energy! Introducing: Bio-Electric Eximus, the newest Infested Eximus threatens to shock any Tenno to their senses if they fail to evade the Infested Eximus or their lethal homing electric orbs.

Was A small electrical Damage Over Time area. This is difficult to notice until hit with an Electric Status Effect.

NEW Shock Eximus/Bio-Electric Eximus spawn 3 electrical orbs that will hover in place for a few seconds, dealing increasing electrical damage around the Eximus before being released and homing in on the Player. The damage from these electrical orbs scale with level and deal sustained electric damage when chained to you, but no longer deal an Electric Status Effect. Killing the Eximus or putting it into a Mercy state will destroy any active Orbs.

Visual Changes Shock Eximus have mini versions of the electrical orbs orbiting around them, while they also appear to be covered and crackling with electricity.


VENOMOUS


Was A small Toxin area. Similar to shock Eximus, but Toxin damage is more lethal since it lingers on players.

NEW Venomous Eximus units become surrounded by a swirling volume of Toxic gas upon being alerted. Coming into contact with the gas will inflict a Toxin Status Effect. Now, only enemy melee units can become venomous Eximus units. Stay clear of their impending noxious fumes!

Visual Changes Venomous Eximus are tightly shrouded in toxic fumes. Upon being alerted, these fumes expand into a zone surrounding the Eximus in a deadly haze.


REWARDS

To accompany the increased threat from Eximus units, we’ve further boosted the Affinity gained from killing them by +200%. Additionally, Eximus units now drop Credits and Endo at an increased rate. This will consistently scale as well for their Steel Path counterparts on top of the usual rare chance of a Riven Sliver!

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:

  • Considering Eximus enemies are now more formidable, that strength is amplified when encountering Eximus units in a pack. To help counter that in different parts of Warframe we’ve made the following changes:
    • There will be 50% less Eximus on ‘Eximus Stronghold’ Sortie conditions
    • Syndicate Death Squad/Platoon sizes have been reduced:
      • -1 of disfavor Squads reduced from 5-10 to 3-5
      • -2 of disfavor Platoons reduced from 10-15 to 5-7
        • We have increased the drop chance of Eximus Specter blueprints dropping from Syndicate Death Squads in light of the size reduction.
    • Additionally, we have greatly reduced the additional Health and Shields these Units receive
  • Syndicate Exmus Specters have also had their respective Eximus type updated: Here are the following Eximus Specters and Type:
    • Ancient Healer Eximus: Volatile
    • Charger Eximus: Venomous
    • MOA Eximus: Arctic
    • Corruper Lancer: Arson
    • Roller Eximus: Energy Leech
    • Shield Osprey Eximus: Shock
  • Warden Eximus units in Rescue missions have not received these new Eximus upgrades, to ensure they are just as easy to stealthily remove as before.

Caution Tenno, there’s a heavy unit approaching...


New Player Experience: Quality Of Life Changes

  • Completing the Heart of Deimos quest will now reward you with the Voidrig Blueprint, Voidrig Weapon Blueprint, Voidrig Capsule Blueprint, Voidrig Engine Blueprint, and Voidrig Casing Blueprint in the post-quest Inbox.
    • As a follow up to our Necramech Drop Rate & Crafting Cost Changes from Update 30.9.0, we wanted to add another way to set up players for success as they continue their journey to The New War and other content that requires a Necramech to participate.
    • For those who have already completed the Heart of Deimos quest prior to this update, these Blueprints will also be retroactively sent via Inbox. We will also be running an Alert on all platforms that rewards 4 Orokin Animus Matrices. More information on that here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1305860-orokin-animus-matrices-alert/
  • Junction Changes:
    • Removed the ‘Craft a Warframe Specter’ from the Europa Junction Task list.
      • In an effort to help players move through the Star Chart, we removed the 8 hour Specter-crafting time gate that this task created.
    • Reduced the ‘Open Meso Void Relics’ Uranus Junction task from 3 to 1 in the Uranus Junction.
    • Reduced the ‘Scan Cephalon Fragments on Mars’ Phobos Junction task from 3 to 1.


Clan Recruitment Changes

Do you hear that Tenno? Maroo is calling. She’s got some great intel on where to find new Clan members. We have added some new features to Clan recruitment to supplement finding Clans and attracting new members.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/6628b3b36abe5699aefc67fb2e3321e1.png

Clans can now post ads by visiting Maroo in her Bazaar or accessing their Clan Menu and paying Maroo an administrative fee using resources from your Clan Vault. Each week, Maroo will be in need of a different resource for her own ‘endeavors’ and in exchange she will put the word out for you. These ads will appear in the updated Clan Menu under ‘Search for Clan’.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/dc3efa8223fe6d11e656a837698e2cef.png

Clans can leave a brief description about their Clan’s interests and also add flags to help prospective members filter ads. These flags include:

  • Beginner Friendly
  • High MR Requirement
  • Regular Login Requirement
  • Max Research Complete
  • Decorated Dojo
  • Competitive Event Focus
  • Endurance Run Squads
  • Fashion Frame
  • Multiple Languages

Clan ads are displayed for 8 hours and then expire. During this time, prospective members can apply for a Clan and send a message to anyone with the new ‘Advertiser’ role for review and approval. If your Clan reaches maximum member capacity while your ad is live then your ad will be hidden until it expires or if you are no longer at capacity. If you apply to multiple Clans, then the first Clan to accept you will be your new family and all other applications will be immediately withdrawn.

Like many other areas where you are able to provide a custom message, players can report a Clan ad if it violates any of our Terms of Service, Code of Conduct, or leads to any form of discrimination or harassment of other players. Recruit to your heart’s content, Tenno, but as always we ask that you keep Warframe a welcoming space for all.

This new feature is not meant to replace the ways that Tenno connect, but rather add a streamlined avenue to find and connect with others. For more on this feature, please read our post here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1305861-additional-clan-recruitment-tools/

Maggot Decorations

A new Decoration has arrived and we are crawling with excitement. Nidus’ Maggot is now available in the Market as a Decoration for your Orbiter. You can adopt this adorable Infested creeper today and watch as it scuttles around. When we released Nidus Prime Access back on September 8th, 2021 we had originally hoped to include the prime versions of his Infested creepers as an additional ship Decoration.

For those Tenno who purchased the Parasitic Link Pack, Ravenous Pack, and Nidus Prime Accessories Pack on PC, we will be delivering by script the Prime version of Nidus’ Maggot. Due to how Prime Access & Prime Accessories are offered on consoles, to ensure parity those who purchased the Parasitic Link or Prime Accessories will receive 1 Prime Maggot and those who purchased the Ravenous Pack will receive 2 Prime Maggots via this script. These packs will also be updated for future purchases to include the Prime Maggot Decoration.

Audio Reverb Changes:

Our sound team has made several changes to reverb across the game thanks to a new system! This nifty new tech automatically places reverb in level zones instead of the hand placing that used to happen in every tile. This allows us to get better results because it takes into account area size and area materials. It also includes preset reverb containers that can have more types of reverb that are better suited to each area.

For example: A small, narrow vent space that opens to a small room that then opens to a larger room can each have their own custom reverb based on the size and material type of each room. Instead of hand placing each of the three reverbs, the engine is now smart enough to take into account each of the rooms automatically. This allows for greater specificity because it measures the size of each room.

This also has a performance benefit, as it enables only the required reverb sample to be loaded as needed, instead of loading all of them when a level first loads. This ultimately saves memory and allows the levels to load a bit faster!

DirectX 12 Performance and Optimizations:

Ongoing work continues on our DirectX12 render mode!

In this update, DirectX 12 runs up to 25% faster than it used to for high performance PCs. Most modern systems will run the game in DirectX 12 mode significantly faster than DirectX 11!

Comparing the same scene across different versions of the game to compare how the rendering modes compare:

  • New War DX11: 110 fps
  • New War DX12: 141 fps
  • Angels of Zariman DX12: 177 fps

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/f694d942408bef0af5708644988f35e2.jpg

The system that was used for the above testing results: Ryzen 5600X, Radeon 6900XT; 1080p Enhanced renderer with all details at maximum.

A significant memory optimization was also made, and DX12 now uses up to 200 megabytes less memory than it did previously (especially relevant for players on laptops where the memory is shared).

Be sure to make sure you've got the most recent drivers before trying it out!


General Optimizations:

  • Made several optimizations to the Infested Ship tileset.

Hotfix 31.3.1

Garuda Prime: Hotfix 31.3.1


Fixes:

  • Fixed inability to use Garuda’s Talons if a Host migration occurred.
  • Fixed being able to hit 100% invulnerability when combining Nova’s Null Stars and Helminth’s +100% Duration Invigoration.
    • The usual modding limit for maximum Duration on Null Star would allow a maximum of 90% damage reduction. But with the addition of the Nira’s Hatred mod and Helminth’s +100% Duration Invigoration, it pushed over that limit to reach 95% and even 100% damage resistance, which would make you invincible until you had lost a few stars. This was not intended and has been fixed to return it back to maintain the 90% max damage reduction.
  • Fixed Corvas Prime missing its localized descriptions.
  • Fixed Garuda Talons moving when hovering on/off color swatches in the Arsenal.
  • Fixed Garuda Prime’s rear skirt cloth clipping through some Syandanas.
  • Fixed the Nagantaka Prime missing its own Riven Disposition number.
    • It was using the Nagantaka Disposition instead of starting at 0.5 like all new weapons. Learn more about the Riven Disposition Guidelines here.

GARUDA PRIME ACCESS

Awash in crimson and shimmering gold, Garuda Prime has emerged! Add Garuda Prime, exclusive Prime Accessories, Weapons, Boosters and more with Prime Access, or earn Relics in-game to craft Garuda Prime, Nagantaka Prime and Corvas Prime in your Foundry.

Garuda Prime and her signature Prime gear tear through the battlefield with razor-sharp talons and sanguine bloodletting. Experience Garuda’s reworked abilities and witness the queen of gore get deadlier the more blood is spilled.


https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/8bcc25efbc6e867bc2735b63a28ae237.jpg

Garuda Prime White, gold and deepest scarlet, the queen of gore in full regalia. She also has increased Energy and Armor stats, along with an additional Madurai slot.

Her Talons also have increased base damage and Critical Chance stats.

Nagantaka Prime A golden version of Garuda’s versatile crossbow, as fashioned by the Orokin’s finest weaponsmiths. Alt-fire to let loose a barrage of bolts. All bolts have a chance to cause Bleeding, and Headshots have a chance to increase Reload Speed. When wielded by Garuda the Nagantaka gains a slight Punch Through effect.

Corvas Prime Flaunting ceremonial beauty, this arch-gun flak-cannon is even more devastating than its standard issue counterpart.

Exclusive Garuda Prime Glyphs

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/b20a30bf4e9341c610196ea753eb2210.png

Garuda Prime Accessories includes:

  • Kukri Prime Armor
  • Sanguinax Prime Ephemera
  • 90-Day Affinity Booster
  • 90-Day Resource Booster

When Garuda Prime enters Prime Access, the following items will be added to the Prime Vault. If you have Relics that contain these items they will remain in your Inventory.

  • Titania Prime
  • Corinth Prime
  • Pangolin Prime

With this Vaulting comes the shift of the following Syndicate Sacrifices:

  • Replaced Arbiters of Hexis Sacrifice of Corinth Prime Barrel to Astilla Prime Barrel
  • Replaced Arbiters of Hexis Sacrifice of Titania Prime Neuroptics to Gara Prime Chassis
  • Replaced New Loka Sacrifice of Titania Prime Systems to Nezha Prime Chassis
  • Replaced Steel Meridian Sacrifice of Pangolin Prime Handle to Zakti Prime Receiver

Note on Garuda Prime Relics: We have skipped Neo N19 in Relic naming convention and went straight to Neo N20 due to chat linking issues we encountered in testing.

If you already wield the power of these Primes or have their Relics in your Inventory, they will remain after the Vaulting.

Garuda Prime Access begins March 28 on all platforms. Don’t miss out on adding the queen of gore’s full regalia to your Arsenal! Find the Prime Access packs here: https://www.warframe.com/prime-access

GARUDA ABILITY CHANGES

The crimson maiden of death has been streamlined for more satisfying butchery! With a focus on adding more maneuverability and deadliness to the queen of gore, the following changes have been made:

Passive Killing enemies (including assists) now increases damage by 5% up to 100% and drains by 1% every 2 seconds. Kills stall the drain for 5 seconds. This is reflected in a new UI icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen.

WARFRAME AUGMENT BUFFS As mentioned in our last Devstream, we set out to buff a selection of Augments that were underused according to our statistics. Our goal is to bring these Augments up to speed, and align them with our more popular Augments. The buffs below are merely additions onto what already exists in the game. This won’t be our only batch, so expect to see more Augment changes in the future!

New: In addition to finishers, Lull’s refill duration now triggers when a sleeping enemy is directly killed (does not trigger on assists). Can now only be triggered once per 3 seconds.

DOJO ADDITIONS

Calling all Dojo crafters! We have added two new rooms and new Dojo Decorations inspired by the Grineer Kuva Fortress and Orokin Tower tilesets for you to let your creativity fly.


Additions:

Changes:

  • Reduced Chroma’s Effigy radial knockback intensity. It will still send enemies flying, but no longer to the moon.
  • Explosive Barrels will now knock down enemies; if they are within 0-2m they will be knocked down by the blast, at 2-6m they will suffer a heavy stagger, and at 6-10m they will suffer a light stagger and take 800 damage. For the Large Corpus Exploding Barrels, these values are 0-3m, 3-8m, and 8-12m with 1200 damage. If they die from the blast, they will ragdoll instead.
    • When Blast damage was reworked in Update 27.2, enemies stopped getting knocked over by Explosive Barrels.

  • More fixes towards filepaths showing up in TennoCon item names.

Hotfix 31.1.8

February 24, 2022 Forum Post

February 23, 2022 Forum Post

Echoes of War: Banshee & Mirage Prime Vault: Hotfix 31.1.7

Changes:

  • Added ability to preview the Lunar Renewal Theme and Background.
    • This was player feedback since the Market bundles do not show the theme/background in full. Now you can go to Options > Interface > Customize UI Theme > Select Lunar Renewal Theme/Background to preview before purchasing the bundle.
  • Set maximum purchase quantity in the in-game Market to 9,999,999.
    • You will only ever see this limit if you have the requirements to purchase whatever you are buying 10 million times. You big spender you.

Optimizations:

  • Made systemic micro-optimization to load times and improved frame-rate while streaming on Xbox or on PC when using DirectX12.
  • Continued to add diagnostics to try to isolate random DirectX 12 crashes.

Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where innate damage bonus of Kuva weapons did not apply to the bonus damage from Galvanized Aptitude.
  • Fixed a Sister of Parvos candidate not showing what weapon is offered if the Treasurer is also alive.
  • Fixed text issues with pickups that originated from the capitalization changes, as mentioned in hotfix 31.1.6.

  • Fixed some mixed case text issues in the end of mission progression box.
  • Fixed Spore Ephemera appearing like gray mush - restored it to its original nastiness we all know and love but also improved it.
  • Fixed issue where Epic Store Platinum bundles would no longer show coupons applied and did not apply discounts to purchases of the same.
    • This also fixes a related issue where the pricing was not accounting for coupon discount and was charging full price while also consuming coupon. The coupon discount will now appear on hover. If you were affected by this issue please create a ticket at support.warframe.com
  • Fixed the Sniper Ammo Mutation mod not mutating Rifle ammo at the described rate.
    • For example, at Rank 0 you should receive 1 Sniper ammo per Rifle pickup and it was giving 0.
  • Fixed the following issues with the Protovyre Armor Set:
    • Fixed completing the Protovyre Sentient killing challenge not awarding players with the evolved Protovyre Chest piece.
      • This was caused by exiting Railjack from the menu, which would fail to deliver Protovyre inbox message if challenge was completed.
      • For those affected, we will be running a script that will deliver the inbox message with the evolved Protovyre Chest piece. We will update this thread once we have started and finished the script. Edit: The script has been run!
    • Fixed Requiem Relics dropped from Thralls or Hounds not counting towards the Protovyre Syandana challenge progression.

Hotfix 31.1.6

February 17, 2022 Forum Post

Fixes:

  • Fixed a crash when loading into Plains of Eidolon and a squadmate leaves.
  • Fixed a script error when scanning an Oculyst in the Sealab Mobile Defense tileset.
  • Fixed loss of camera control in the War Within Quest if you entered Void Mode just as you were being devoured by something golden.
  • Fixed weapons with Multishot (especially innate multishot like on shotguns or beam weapons) having a higher damage increase from Galvanized Aptitude/Shot per Status type as intended.
    • Essentially, the total damage bonus was being added to each individual projectile, resulting in damage numbers far beyond the intended amount.
  • Fixed a script error that could occur if an ally Kuva Lich was present while returning to town.

Missed Change: Re-capitalized active Warframe, Pet, and Weapon names, meaning anything that you renamed in full CAPS would be restored. We’re looking into why this has caused some text issues with pickups.

Edited February 18 by [DE]Danielle Added clarification on Multishot fix

Hotfix 31.1.5

February 17, 2022 Forum Post

  • Fixed misleading prompt when attempting to swap an Exilus slot’s polarity: “Exilus slot must be unlocked before assigning a polarity to it.”

Changes:

  • Made several case text changes across the game to unify capitalization across the board. For example:
    • “HILDRYN CHASSIS” is now “Hildryn Chassis”.
    • Since this touched text across the game, if you come across any issues please report them! Some text may still be intentionally fully capitalized, but if you see any “HaRrOw PriMe sysTEms” please let us know.
  • Turned down the volume of the Void Storm’s Void Sinks in Railjack missions.
  • Defeated Infested Ancients’ corpses will now dissolve quicker.

  • Fixed mismatching character suits between two core characters in ‘The Aftermath’ and later stages of the quest.


Fixes:

  • Fixed damage bonus % provided by Condition Overload not being numerically consistent across Melee weapons.
    • Condition Overload was not accounting for Melee weapons that deal different amounts of damage with different swings via combos. We will continue to watch for any issues related to the above.
  • Fixed several functionality issues with Yareli while riding Merulina in the Mastery Rank 14 test, notably being unable to shoot or ride Merulina anymore.
  • Fixed several issues with the Isolation Vaults & underground tunnels below Cambion Drift generating incorrectly causing players to be unable to progress, as reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/sq81ug/are_the_iso_vaults_breaking_for_anyone_else/

Hotfix 31.1.2

February 10, 2022 Forum Post

Echoes of War: Hotfix 31.1.2

Hotdropped yesterday: Fixed incorrect Adversary rewards (weapon % bonus, Ephemera, Hound) being given after Vanquishing a Kuva Lich or Sister of Parvos. Full PSA here.

  • We are working on next steps for those who were affected - more information to come as we lock something in.

Optimizations:

  • Fixed DirectX 11 detection issues for systems that have managed to avoid an Update for Windows 7 released on February 26, 2013.
    • We strongly encourage you to run Windows Update when you can, to avoid strange problems and security vulnerabilities on your PC!

Changes:

  • Updated Yareli’s Surging Blades Augment description for clarity:
    • Was: Press 3 to hurl a single Aquablade, which gains 10% damage per enemy hit by your Aquablades. No cost to throw while riding Merulina.
    • Now: Activate Aquablades while in use or during cooldown to hurl a single blade. Thrown blades gain 10% damage when any Aquablade hits an enemy. No cost to throw while riding Merulina.
  • Reduced the background size of the Captura Advanced Menu panel to improve visibility of your masterpiece.
    • We’re looking at more improvements as well - stay tuned.

Fixes:

  • Fixed Lavos and Hildryn infused with Aquablades being unable to throw the disk with the Surging Blades Augment equipped because they don’t use Energy.
  • Lavos can now throw the projectile on a cooldown and Hildryn using her Shields.
  • Fixed multiple holstered weapons (specifically Staff, Tonfa, and Sword and Shield holsters) clipping through Hildryn’s Einheri Skin.
  • More fixes towards Adversary transmissions not showing your Kuva Lich/Sister of Parvos.
  • Fixed Transferring to Operator while using Vauban canceling the count in the UI for Tesla Nervos.
  • Fixed Relics and Arcanes appearing far too large within the confines of the boxes in the Codex.
  • Fixed the rounding of the Growing Power Mod % display incorrectly at 25% in the Mod screen and 26% in the HUD. They now both correctly show 25%.
  • Fixed the Solunar Glyph disappearing from the in-game Market and player inventories, as reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1299640-solunar-glyph-gone/
  • Fixed rare crashes that could occur when the engine attempted to repair cache corruption.
  • Fixed script error after throwing a Specter ball, dying and then respawning before it spawns.

Hotfix 31.1.1

February 9, 2022 Forum Post

Echoes of War: Hotfix 31.1.1

Optimizations:

  • Fixed crashes and excessive performance hitches when Grendel consumed an exorbitant amount of enemies and proceeded to vomit them out (90+ enemies). In the name of performance, we’ve added a limit of 40 enemies that can be eaten by Grendel at any given time, and spread out the vomiting of large numbers of enemies.
    • Test Cluster crash report/fix.
    • This was noted in the Update 31.1.0 notes but didn’t actually make the build.
  • Fixed memory leak related to Harrow’s Condemn with Enhanced Graphics enabled.

The New War Fixes:

  • Fixed Teshin spinning around in circles before loading into the Archwing Slingshot.
  • Fixed Teshin freezing in cutscene after taking care of some big baddies.
  • Fixed crash when attempting to change the appearance of an end-of-quest character.

Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where changing Operator features (eye color, hair color, etc) would only apply to the active Clothing config and not all 3 A/B/C as is intended.
  • Fixed a duplicate entry for the Sirocco in the Primary Profile category.
  • Fixed the Tenet Cycron having force feedback rumble when reloading while using controller.
  • Fixed Credit icon missing from the End of Mission screen on mission nodes with an active Sister of Parvos.

  • Fixed Arcane icons appearing stretched in Chat linked loadouts.
  • Fixed crash when missions (with the exception of Railjack) switch task to Exterminate.
  • Fixed holographic FX mesh on the Blodgard Heavy Blade Skin so that the animated textures flow better.
  • Fixed getting stuck on the Mission Failed screen with no way to exit after dying during the Call of the Tempestarii Quest ‘Infiltrate the Corpus Spy Vaults’ mission.
  • Fixed incorrect RU and DE description of the Hildryn Einheri Collection in the in-game Market.
  • Fixes towards a script error related to Sister of Parvos Hounds.
  • Fixed Helminth Subsuming slots at Rank 10 showing as 100K+ instead of ‘Unlimited’.

Update 31.1

“You're not supposed to be in here! You're going to ruin the surprise!”
The following article/section contains spoilers.

Update 31.1.0: Echoes of War


The year is 2022, and Digital Extremes is back with the first Mainline of the year - we’ve got roughly 4GB of content changes!

Less than 2 months ago The New War Quest was launched on all platforms. Our ambitions to have Replay on launch didn’t make it in time, but we made it our top priority to have it ready for our first Update of 2022. There’s still no accurate words to describe our appreciation for all the support and reactions to The New War, and we hope you enjoy replaying it as many times as you wish!

There’s lots more in the Warframe oven for 2022 - thank you for coming along the ride!


In addition, you may notice nods to the Public Test Cluster in some sections. Thank you to everybody that participated in our weekend test! We’ve made some changes in response that you’ll find throughout the patch notes.


https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/2182826bb07101da949d31ee7e1ce0dc.jpg

THE NEW WAR IS NOW REPLAYABLE!

Experience The New War Quest once more, Tenno! Access The New War Quest in the Codex to Replay. Please note with this implementation the Replay is a full time commitment and you will be locked into the Quest as you were in the first run, so plan accordingly.


SPOILER POLICY

This quest has significant Spoilers for Warframe and its future. While The New War has been out since December 15th, there are still Tenno out there who have yet to experience it for the first time. Please let all Tenno experience it at their own pace, and be kind. Use liberal spoiler tags if you wish to talk about it, and do not ruin the experience for someone else. Content Creators should clearly label spoiler content and use spoiler-free thumbnails.


The Quest can be discussed in our temporary Sub Forum: https://forums.warframe.com/forum/1782-the-new-war/

Please note on Replay (heavy spoilers):

During the “end choice” moment, you’ll be able to select the other choices for strictly experience purposes. The choice you made in your original playthrough will override it each time once complete.



Additionally, 3 ‘The New War’ Somachord Tones have been added to the post-New War Plains of Eidolon and Orb Vallis. Based on player feedback, we have made these Somachord Tones stationary, meaning they will always be in the same spot (different from the original Orb Vallis Somachord Tones) and require 1 scan each. They’ll remain in their spots after Scanned for helpful Tenno who waypoint them for others!


Keep a look out for the following Somachord Tones:

  • For Narmer
  • Hybrid Abominations
  • Sunkiller

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/192701d20476d57eda8a509f3cc4948f.jpg


HILDRYN EINHERI COLLECTION


Descend from on high as the legend that Hildryn truly is. A skin that ensures her legend will echo down the ages. Strength and glory!


Hildryn arises anew, re-forged in the fires of finest smith-craft. Add splendor to her saga with this collection of deluxe items.The Einheri skin includes a new look for Hildryn’s Balefire Charger. The Deluxe Bundle includes the Hildryn Einheri Skin, Blodgard Heavy Blade Skin and the Brising Syandana.


BLODGARD HEAVY BLADE SKIN

A master-crafted weapon, forged in fire for the hands of heroes - yet worthy of a goddess. Bestow this skin upon any Axe.


BRISING SYANDANA

The sun rises on the victor and sets upon the vanquished. This is how your legend is made. Adorn yourself with this exquisite syandana, worthy of the sun herself.


NEW WARFRAME AUGMENTS

Frost: Biting Frost: Passive

Frost gains 200% Critical Chance and 200% Critical Damage against frozen enemies.


*Acquire from the Cephalon Suda and Steel Meridian Syndicate Offerings.


Gauss: Thermal Transfer: Thermal Sunder

Allies in range gain 75% bonus Elemental Damage for 30s.


*Acquire from the Arbiters of Hexis and Perrin Sequence Syndicate Offerings.


Grendel: Gourmand: Feast

Instead of Energy, consumes 200 Health on cast and 30 Health Drain.


*Acquire from the Red Veil and Steel Meridian Syndicate Offerings.


Yareli: Surging Blades: '' Aquablades

Press 3 to hurl a single Aquablade, which gains 10% damage per enemy hit by your Aquablades. No cost to throw while riding Merulina.

  • Test Cluster change: Yareli’s Surging Blades Augment can now build its damage bonus from hits made by throwing the blade, instead of only hits made by the ones that circle around her. It now costs extra energy to throw the Aquablade as a ranged attack, but this is negated if you are riding Merulina.


*Acquire from the Cephalon Suda and New Loka Syndicate Offerings.


ADVERSARY WEAPON GENERATION - QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGE

As the pool of Adversary weapons grows and your checklist fills out, the natural chance of finding a Progenitor (Larvling or Candidate) with the exact weapon you desire shrinks. This Adversary Weapon Generation Quality of Life change is meant to reduce randomness over time of what weapon a Progenitor Candidate (Sister) or Larvling (Kuva Lich) can spawn with.


How it works:

By skipping a Progenitor (choosing not to Mercy them) the spawned weapon is then put into a ‘reject’ pile for that round of Adversary generation, meaning that it will not appear again and ultimately reducing the weapon pool each time you ‘reject’.

The list of rejected weapons is cleared once you accept an Adversary and the process would start again from a clean slate for both Sister or Kuva Lich the next time you go looking for an Adversary. This list clearing applies to both Sister and Kuva Lich, meaning once the chosen Adversary is Converted or Vanquished, the list clears for both factions.

Test Cluster change: Kuva Lich/Sister of Parvos weapon reject list will now reset if you reject every possible weapon.



SEASONAL EVENTS


STAR DAYS + TENNOBAUM

While no in-game gifting event and online tracker will occur this year, we’ll also be taking the spirit of gift-giving into a special TennoBaum x Star Days livestream on February 10th, which will be our Prime Time gifting spectacular!

*As shown on Devstream #159, we have Lunar New Year celebrations coming soon! Stay tuned!


DOJO ADDITIONS

Dojo Architects are you ready?? We have a handful of new Dojo Decorations and some new Rooms as well! We cannot wait to see your continually amazing creations.


New Rooms

Earth Forest Chamber

Uranus Chamber

http://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/02ad0dd780ea493d57e68f911e8db90d.png


New Decorations

100 Grineer Forest and Ocean themed Decorations have been added! We’ve got water pumps, turbine blades, cloning machinery and much more!



GENERAL ADDITIONS:

  • The Legendary Rank 2 Test is now available to eligible Tenno! We appreciate your patience as we worked on getting it ready.
  • Added the ability to individually color customize each of your Operator’s eyes for the full Heterochromia effect.
  • Added 20 new Operator skin colors options!
  • Added a new Grendel ability tip:
    • "Feast's damage-over-time on vomited enemies, damage on Regurgitated enemies, and Nourish’s self heal on cast all scale based on the level of enemies Grendel devours."
  • Added a tooltip to the Vox Solaris Quest to indicate that you can use your Secondary weapon on the K-Drive.
  • New Thumper variants have been added to the Post-New War Plains of Eidolon! By selecting the Narmer Bounty you’ll find these Thumpers ambiently patrolling the Plains.
    • Their drop table matches that of its counterpart.



OPTIMIZATIONS:

  • Upgraded our compiler and have seen small optimizations across the entire codebase for a faster Warframe experience. We anticipate this to have no noticeable stability changes but we request Tenno report any oddities they encounter.
  • Made a small tweak to Dx12 startup to try to improve support for systems without the latest Windows Updates.
  • Made a micro-optimization to the Codex.
  • Made several general optimizations.
  • Made general performance improvements to Dx12.
  • Made numerous optimizations towards the Infested Corpus Ship tileset.
  • Fixed crash when aborting Dx12 startup.
  • Made systemic micro-optimizations to PC rendering.
  • Optimized away a few single-frame hitches and potentially fixed a rare crash.
  • Made numerous optimizations towards the Defense arena in the Grineer Settlement tileset.
  • Fixed a minor hitch every time a player jumped into K-Drive, Necramech, or Operator.
  • Made micro-optimizations to Navigation startup.
  • Made small optimizations to level streaming and loading and fixed an ultra-rare crash that could occur for hosts.
  • Made a micro-optimization to loading in Dx12 and the classic engine.
  • Fixed crashes and excessive performance hitches when Grendel consumed an exorbitant amount of enemies and proceeded to vomit them out (90+ enemies). In the name of performance, we’ve added a limit of 40 enemies that can be eaten by Grendel at any given time, and spread out the vomiting of large numbers of enemies.
    • Test Cluster crash report/fix.
    • This fix didn't make the build and will be coming in a Hotfix.



REFLECTION PROBE CHANGES:

We rebuilt reflections across the entire game when Enhanced Graphics Engine is enabled to use modern high quality texture format which improves the quality and punch of gold, bronze, chrome, and other metallics. This change reduces the noise, makes them more vibrant, and ultimately more balanced overall. A lot to visually enjoy during your replay (or first playthrough!) of The New War!

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/fbf15ba931b38eb05b696090ae60a2ee.png

UI CHANGES:

  • Hold onto your seats: we’ve converted all Arsenal Screen rectangle icons to squares. This applies to places like the Arsenal, Operator, and Codex which previously used rectangular icons.
    • To provide some Dev insight: At the moment, we have literally thousands of duplicated icons. Each item had to support both displaying as a rectangle and as a square, but now that everything has been converted to squares, all the rectangle icons are soon to be deleted. Which will reduce the game file size once we hit the big delete button - stay tuned on that! In the meantime, if you see anything funky with icons (squished/stretched/cropped etc) please let us know.
  • The Options menu has been reworked to bring some new and reorganize the old! This is the beginning of our broader Options menu rework efforts that will continue in a near future Update, stay tuned!

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/dacdd9a1578d36d1af289add9144d8eb.jpg

  • NEW: Accessibility options now have their own tab! You’ll find respective VIDEO and INTERFACE accessibility options now live here.
  • GAMEPLAY has been renamed to SYSTEM, and CHAT has been renamed to SOCIAL.
    • Moved all networking related options to System under a Network header
    • Moved all friend/gift/party request options to Social under a Privacy header
    • Moved all chat channel options to Social under a Chat header
    • Moved all chat appearance options to Social under a Chat Appearance header
  • DISPLAY has been renamed to VIDEO.
    • Added 3 new headers: Display, Graphics, and Advanced. Respective options have been moved within the headers.
  • Added 3 new headers to the AUDIO tab: Sound, Sound Mixer, and Voice. Respective options have been moved within the headers.
  • Added 1 new header to the INTERFACE tab: User Interface (alongside HUD). Respective options have been moved within the headers.
    • Moved "Item Labels" into the "Customize UI Theme" screen.


ORB VALLIS CONSERVATION CHANGE:

  • In addition to the already existing Conservation method of Trail & Tranq, all species of animal on Orb Vallis can now be found ambiently in the wild! (Bolarola, Sawgaw, Kubrodon, Horrasque, Stover, Pobber, Vermink). Due to the endangered nature of the species, the rarest subspecies will still need to be tracked down by following their trails.



GENERAL CHANGES:

  • New Sky/Atmospheric technology brings a physically-plausible simulation based on time of day. Enhancing the atmospheric experience to feel more immersive and accurate when a time of day is represented.
  • Improved visuals within the Cambion Drift landscape by comprehensive efforts to have less competing emissive values on foliage. This can be attributed to reduced spore particles and reduction in the overall red color the
  • Enemy reinforcements will now spawn more frequently during the Drone Hijack mission in the Plains of Eidolon Bounty to reduce down-time and increase density of enemies to defend from while running alongside the Drone.
    • Simple reasoning here is to bring a bit more intensity to this Bounty to have your escorting efforts feel valued.
  • Enemy reinforcements will now spawn more frequently in Exterminate and Assassinate missions in Plains of Eidolon Bounties.
    • Additionally, reinforcements that spawn in caves will now be more inclined to chase the player, instead of just patrolling idly without a care in the world.
  • Unified the drop rate of each house’s MK II and MK III weapons dropped from Corpus Crewships in Pluto Proxima and Corpus Veil Proxima regions to Uncommon (12.50%).
    • Previously the Talyn and Vort MK III were Legendary drops with a 0.65% chance, while the others were Uncommon at a 24.35% drop chance. Vort and Talyn MK II were Rare with a 5.64% chance, while the others were Uncommon with 19.36%. Instead of having certain weapons in the same tier level weighing more than others in terms of rarity, there is now a far more equal drop chance across each weapon.
  • Railjack Crew Kuva Liches and Sisters of Parvos can now Revive players and Crew!
  • Lavos’ Vial Rush has been slightly changed in the name of performance. When casting Vial Rush zones from previous Vial Rush are removed but deal a one time damage proportional to their remaining duration.
  • You can now replace an existing Arrival Gate with another Gate located elsewhere in your Dojo should you choose to. Previously you had to destroy the original Arrival Gate in order to place a new one.
  • Amped up Nechramech summon FX and added summon animations.
  • Improved Bow animation movement to better match sprint turn speed.
  • Made some lighting updates to the Grineer Sealab tileset.
  • Updated the Orbiter Arsenal floor to make collision more accurate.
  • Improved frequency of rare tiles that almost never appear in some Grineer Shipyard tileset mission types.
  • Softened the look of hair/fur while using the Enhanced Graphics Engine option (Temporal AA remains unchanged). Refined look to the shading.
  • Adjusted the Ogris and Kuva Ogris Nightwatch Napalm FX to be cleaner and use energy color consistently.
  • Added Zarr alt-fire FX.
  • Improved the colors in the waterfall FX in the Grineer Forest tileset.
  • Changed Oberon's Passive description from ‘buff’ to ‘link’ since allied companions stats are calculated based on Oberon’s.
  • Made improvements and fixes to out-of-bounds & AI pathing in the Grineer Shipyards tileset.
  • Increased the variety and randomization of the Cambion Drift underground tunnels to give the space a more lively feel.
  • The Amalgam Furax Body Count Mod now applies a Blast proc and Stagger on Melee kills.
    • The original Mod description stated that “Melee kills knockdown enemies within 15m” but that functionality has been missing in-mission since Blast Status was changed in Update 27.2 to no longer knockdown enemies . In addition to the Blast Status, we have also added the stagger to restore its original function pre-Status overhaul. We have also updated the description to be more accurate to the Mod’s function.
  • Added locations for Gems, Ores, and their derived types to their descriptions.
  • Enemies will no longer throw grenades at adjacent walls when trying to hit an out-of-sight target.
  • Toned down the brightness of Revenant’s Mesmer Skin FX. It will also now be hidden while in Archwing.
  • Removed Parazon Finisher prompt on flying enemies, since they have to be grounded to become eligible for said Finisher.
  • Added animations when performing Parazon Finishers on Crawlers.
  • Converted the following weapons when used by enemies to PBR:
    • Glaxion
    • Jat Kittag
    • Vulkar
    • Supra

NEW WAR REPLAY FIXES

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Public Test Weekend for New War replay functionality (and possibly first-time Quest runs)! Over 200 testers shared their reports spanning the entire New War quest. We’ve done our best to focus on the larger issues, and those that affected replay functionality, in time for this mainline release. We have you to thank for the following issues being resolved:

  • Fixed misaligned Railjack when entering from Archwing during The New War Quest.
  • Fixed your Companion appearing in a cutscene in The New War Quest.
  • Fixed holding a light incorrectly during certain parts of The New War Quest.
  • Fixed being in your default customizations in certain moments during the final mission of The New War Quest.
  • Fixed a group of Brachiolysts missing some of their Health in the first mission of The New War Quest.
  • Fixed an infinite loading screen during a pivotal transition moment during The New War Quest.
  • Fixed a certain character’s Orvius toss being titled ‘Rip Line’. It is now titled ‘Orvius Reach’.


We still have a number of reports that are being investigated, so expect more improvements to trickle in during future Hotfixes!


FIXES:

  • Fixed receiving all the Protovyre Armor evolved forms (Emergent and Apex) if you only purchased one of the Protovyre Armor parts. Full PSA here.

Hotfix 31.0.11

January 25, 2022 Forum Post

The New War: Hotfix 31.0.11


Prime Resurgence has concluded!


Regal Aya is no longer purchasable from Varzia and Aya has been removed from the drop tables and replaced with Nyx Prime and Rhino Prime Relics.


Varzia still resides in Maroo’s Bazaar with a selection of wares. If you choose, any remaining Aya/Regal Aya can be used in Varzia’s post-event shop or can be held onto for potential future Prime Vault efforts. While the future of Prime Resurgence is still being determined, priority in any instance will be to provide options that appropriately meets player expectations for premium purchases.


A full Post-Event and Next Steps breakdown is available here!

Changes:
  • Nova's Worm Hole can now act as a one-way teleport for ally NPCs.
    • One of our key motivations behind this change came from discussing the Escort Drone Bounty, and how the momentum at which the Drone paths to reach its objective can feel sluggish for those who’ve repeatedly completed the Bounty. This change to Worm Hole may encourage players to strategically bring Nova to aid in guiding the NPC along its path if they choose to.
      • Sorry, Tenno! Got a little over-eager and shipped this work-in-progress change too soon. We have more in the pipe for this - stay tuned.
  • Vaulted the Neo P2 Relic and replaced it with the Neo P4 Relic in the drop tables.
    • The Neo P2 Relic was missed being Vaulted with Harrow Prime’s release.
Fixes:
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when loading into either Orb Vallis or Plains of Eidolon with a squad that contained players who had completed The New War Quest and some that had not.
  • Fixed a Dx12 crash that could occur when lingering in the Pause Menu.
  • Fixed inability to Public matchmake into the Cambion Drift if the squad contained players who had completed The New War Quest and some that had not.
  • Fixed Grineer Outrider kills sometimes not being attributed correctly in Railjack which could result in not getting the drops you would expect.
  • Fixed Railjack Crew members targeting the Grineer Missile Platform Turrets when Piloting instead of the Radiator mission objectives, which when playing Solo understandably caused frustration. As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/s8p418/this_is_how_an_elite_crew_member_pilot_ai_looks/
  • Fixed Kuva Lich/Sister of Parvos Railjack Crew members Health value in mission not matching the values displayed in the Dry Dock. Your Adversary Crew will now reflect the Dry Dock value!
  • Fixed inability to use the Emote wheel in Captura.
  • Fixed Cinematic Mode not toggling when using a controller in Captura Advanced Camera Controls.
  • Fixed volume levels for Caliban’s Abilities.
  • Fixed a script error that could sometimes result in a crash while attempting to kill the last enemy in the Mastery Rank 25 Test.
  • Fixed UI overlap when opening the Pause Menu while using the Polychrome.

Hotfix 31.0.10

January 20, 2022 Forum Post

The New War: Hotfix 31.0.10

Changes:
  • Reskinned the Captura Settings UI screen to provide an updated look!

Fixes:

  • Fixed a Dx12 crash that could occur in The War Within Quest if Enhanced Rendering was enabled.
  • Fixed multiple spots where the Drone could get stuck during its escort in the post-New War Plains of Eidolon.
    • Please let us know if the Drone continues to get stuck post-Hotfix. Screenshots are much appreciated!
  • Fixed a Companion weapon not applying all equipped Upgrades if they are valid for the weapon's current configuration but the weapon has a capacity upgrade and the Companion does not.
  • Fixed Corpus Outpost tilesets with snow having black snow falling in their outdoor segments.
  • Fixed incorrectly sized ‘X’ button callout in the Dojo Room Options screen.
  • Fixed camera not panning out when attempting to view different Orbiter Appearances.
  • Fixed a script error after purchasing the Orbiter Captura Scene and then attempting to use it.

Hotfix 31.0.9

January 20, 2022 Forum Post

Optimizations:

  • Improved CPU performance on Dx12 by improving CPU core utilization, most significantly noticeable in Railjack missions or Free Roam levels.

January 12, 2022 Forum Post

The New War: Hotfix 31.0.8

Optimizations:

  • Added GPU preference setting to launcher to override Windows defaults and defaulted it to High Performance.
  • If you were running on battery when you launched Warframe it may have selected your laptop's IGP instead of your discrete GPU but since we don't switch GPU selection while running, reconnecting your laptop's power wouldn't actually switch to your discrete GPU so you'd suffer terrible performance until you restarted.

  • Smoothed out hitches on while loading or streaming levels on PC running DirectX 11.
  • Optimized peak memory when using DirectX 12 on PC and eliminated small hitches that would occur during level and texture streaming.

  • Reduced the volume of electricity Status Effect sounds.
  • Reduced jump exertion sound interval for a post-NW character.
  • Caliban’s Cranion Helmet has been added for future Nightwave Cred Offerings rotations - keep an eye out for it!
Fixes:
  • Fixed a crash if the Panzer Devolution Mod respawn triggered with specific timing during player death & respawn.
  • Fixed another case of Data Keys not dropping from Orb Vallis Jailers, if a previous Drone Defense or Case Capture Bounty stage occurred approximately near the location you searched the body.
  • Fixed inability to "activate" a certain objective during The New War Quest if the timer runs out and you’re near said activation area.

    • Please note that due to changes in the way the Melee system works since this weapon was originally designed, you must be in "Exclusive melee mode" to use the Blind special attack. You can engage exclusive melee mode by holding down your Switch Weapons button. In this mode, your Aim button blocks with melee rather than instantly switching you back to a ranged weapon.
  • Fixed Void Blast and reloading not functioning if you have a post-New War Amp and Vazarin’s Guardian Shell enabled.
  • Fixed a post-New War Amp not staying in your hand when performing a Void Blast.
  • Fixed Grineer NPCs in Cambion Drift Bounties not disappearing after the Bounty was failed.

Fixes:

December 21, 2021 Forum Post

The New War: Hotfix 31.0.4

Changes:
  • Added an option to the launcher to disallow the use of network caches (these are allowed by default because they can greatly accelerate updates but on some networks these caches can be misconfigured and cause lengthy stalls in the launcher).

Update 31: The New War

Open Letter From the Developers:

The New War has arrived. This Cinematic quest has come together from all of our team working from our homes across the world, and we’re bringing it to yours. Perhaps for some the wait has been long, years for some veteran Tenno, but it ends today.

A lot has happened following the initial anticipation for ‘The New War’ in 2018 with our first teaser trailer. Over the course of the years, we’ve had events to move the story along (with some cryptic hints)… and then lockdown happened, which truly set us back a year. This is not an exaggeration or an excuse, it is a fact that bears mentioning. We intended to ship the cinematic quest experience much earlier, our own delays and then the world’s delays got in the way of that, but it’s finally here.

Despite the wait, what hasn’t changed is our unquenchable desire to surprise our players and tell your story. The story of the Tenno.

The New War represents the biggest undertaking in the history of Digital Extremes, as well as a new progression point for our Tenno. It has been many years since there was a clear story point that a Tenno could reach. From ‘just get to the Second Dream’ to ‘make sure you’re done the Sacrifice’, we now have that firm goal: wage The New War. This journey will take you several hours, and is one you will not be able to turn back on once you've started, so make sure you are prepared!

The New War is here. The stage is set for the future. Once you’ve finished, join us in 2022 for what comes next for Warframe in a post New-War world…

Thank you for your patience and kindness, Tenno.

SPOILER POLICY

This quest has significant Spoilers for Warframe and its future. Please let all Tenno experience it at their own pace, and be kind. Use liberal spoiler tags if you wish to talk about it, and do not ruin the experience for someone else. Content Creators should clearly label spoiler content and use spoiler-free thumbnails.

The Quest can be discussed in our temporary Sub Forum: https://forums.warframe.com/forum/1782-the-new-war/


NEW QUEST - THE NEW WAR

We are seasons, all of us.


Growing in the light, fading in the dark.


At once the same, yet… ever changed.


Prepare yourself, Tenno. The New War is here and no one is safe. Old enemies have returned to the Origin System… will the factions unite against Ballas, Erra, and the advancing Sentients, or will they buckle under the weight of a full-scale invasion?


Players can prepare for The New War quest in the following ways:


Prerequisites

  • Have “Prelude to War” complete
    • We have renamed the former “The New War’ Codex section to “Prelude to War”, players must have this complete to participate in The New War Quest.
  • Own a Necramech
    • Necramechs can be earned by playing Deimos content or bought in the Market for Platinum.
  • Own a Railjack
    • A Railjack can be earned by completing the Rising Tide quest or bought in the Market for Platinum.


The New War will take several hours to complete and will prevent normal Warframe activities from taking place for the duration of the quest. Plan accordingly!


Access to your loadouts will be limited. We encourage you to not only prep your Warframe, Necramech, Operator and Railjack Loadouts but also your Fashion Frame. And as always: CRANK THAT AUDIO!!


You may notice your Operator sounds a bit different while playing The New War Quest. We hope you enjoy the updated Operator voices. Pre and Post-New War Operator voices will be the familiar ones you’re accustomed to.


Additionally, a new Accessibility setting has been added titled 'Hold Button for Struggle Action'. This allows you to choose either 'Hold' or 'Tap' when confronted with a struggle context action, where typically mashing of a button would be requested. We recommend that you put this setting to your preference before initiating The New War Quest to ensure you have the best experience. Players can turn this on in the Controls options menu at any time in the quest, just above the Archwing section.


A significant amount of effort has gone into leveraging new graphics technologies for the levels seen in The New War. For PC players we recommend that you set your Graphics Mode to Enhanced for the full experience, if your computer can handle it! (Display tab under Options). The Playstation 5 and XBOX Series X already use this setting.


***You cannot Replay The New War Quest once it has been completed in this Update. It is a potential 2022 addition. Take your time and we hope you enjoy it!


NOTE: There are 5 New Weapons Available after The New War. We will not be denoting them here for spoilers, but seek them out once you’ve done the Quest! Additionally, some Booster top ups occur at the end of The New War.

NEW WARFRAME - CALIBAN

This is Caliban, the survivor, the adaptor, and heir to the twin kingdoms of biological and Sentient life. Free him from the aberrant path he was consigned to by his creator: Erra.


*Caliban's base Blueprint can be found in the Market with his Component Blueprints acquired via new Bounty missions unlocked after the completion of the New War Quest. Caliban’s Prex Card can also be found after completion of The New War Quest at a new location.



(PASSIVE) ADAPTIVE ARMOR

Allies within Affinity range gain up to 50% resistance to the types of damage they are currently taking.

  • Note that this does not stack additively with the Adaptation mod



RAZOR GYRE

Become a spinning vortex of death. Hold the Attack button (left mouse default) to accelerate the maelstrom, increasing damage or target an enemy by tapping the Attack button (left mouse default) to dash toward them. Hitting enemies inflicted with Sentient Wrath creates a destructive blast.



SENTIENT WRATH

Smash the ground sending out a radial wave of destruction. Those not killed by the initial blast are helplessly lifted into the air, where they take amplified damage for a short time.


*Sentient Wrath is Caliban’s Helminth Subsume ability.


LETHAL PROGENY

Call on Caliban's Sentient aspect to produce up to three Conculyst comrades to fight by his side, and repair his shields.



FUSION STRIKE

Converge three streams of raw energy upon a single point, causing a massive reactive blast. The fallout from the blast will strip the armor and shields from all enemies that touch it.


**Don’t miss Caliban’s Noble & Agile Animations! Featuring our first male-presenting Warframe with a floating animation!



VENATO

Caliban’s signature scythe, forged from a limb wrenched off a fallen Eidolon centuries ago. 50% increased Melee Combo Counter Chance when wielded by Caliban.

https://n9e5v4d8.ssl.hwcdn.net/uploads/41c9e9b892fcee286a738efb9d6e2c80.jpg


NEUROVYRE SYANDANA

A Sentient spinal symbiote that functions as Caliban’s signature Syandana.


SPORAVYRE SUGATRA

A docile Sentient entity that can be used as a weapon decoration.


CALIBAN CRANION HELMET

A fearsome alternative helmet to give Caliban a look he has not worn since the Old War.


POST-NEW WAR VAGUE SPOILERS: Review after completing Quest.

  • A new Resource, New Set Mods, a new Amp, and Weapon Blueprints are available in Bounties to those who have completed The New War Quest. This new Resource can also be redeemed for Standing where applicable.
  • As noted already, Caliban’s Component Blueprints are also available in these Bounties.
  • Once you have finished the New War Quest, a new post-quest setting is available on the 'Earth' Region in the Star Chart directly. Don't miss it!
  • Post New-War, new options are available in the Personal Quarters of your Orbiter.

HARROW PRIME HAS ARRIVED!


HARROW PRIME

The inquisitor eternal arises, hallowed by the Void, preaching a gospel of iron and flame.


SCOURGE PRIME

Smite the unrighteous with Harrow Prime’s signature speargun.


KNELL PRIME

Ring a funeral toll upon enemy skulls with Harrow Prime's signature pistol.


NAVE PRIME SYANDANA

Invest Harrow Prime with this golden Syandana of holy office.

PLUS! As an added Harrow QoL change, we’ve made some tweaks to his kit.


Passive:

Harrow and Harrow Prime now have the ‘Preparation’ style Mod behaviour as a Passive, meaning Harrow now has +100% Maximum Energy is filled on Spawn.


Condemn

  • Radius growth now scales with Range.
  • Added a (non scaling) area-of-effect around Harrow that gets hit by it, similar to Proteas Blaze Artillery, to address hitting enemies that are right on top of you.


Penance

  • Added an initial burst of healing based on sacrificed Shields.


Thurible

  • Increased Charge Rate.


Ivara Prime, Baza Prime, and Aksomati Prime have entered the Prime Vault!


With the Prime Resurgence Event currently running, these Prime items will not be added to this run of the Resurgence schedule as we are not including 2021 Vaulted items in the event.


Prime Resurgence is our first stab at a larger scale Event to the Vaulting program in lieu of The New War. We’ll have lots to review during and after Prime Resurgence ends to dictate how we move forward! If you’re unfamiliar with the Prime Resurgence Event, you can learn more about it in our official Dev Workshop.


With this Vaulting comes the shift of the following Syndicate Sacrifices:

  • Replaced Perrin Sequence Sacrifice of Baza Prime Stock with Panthera Prime Receiver
  • Replaced Perrin Sequence Sacrifice of Ivara Prime Systems with Octavia Prime Chassis
  • Replaced Red Veil Sacrifice of Ivara Prime Chassis with Nezha Prime Chassis


Riven Disposition Changes:


As with each round of Prime Access come updated Riven Disposition numbers. See the full Disposition changes on the official Warframe Forums.


https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1290488-december-2021-riven-disposition-updates/


If you already wield the power of these Primes or have their Relics in your Inventory, they will remain after the Vaulting.


Legendary Rank 2 Notice:

  • While we have enough content to achieve Legendary Rank 2 in this Update, we are postponing the ability to perform the Test until 2022. This decision was not made lightly, we simply did not feel we could perform necessary testing to release it in this build.


NEW COSMETICS

Available in the in-game Market for Platinum! Featuring a new evolving cosmetic set, the Protovyre. A first-of-its-kind cosmetic that permanently evolves as you complete the required tasks.


PROTOVYRE ARMOR (CHEST, SHOULDER & LEG)

An evolving armor set that draws upon Sentient technology. Defeat Sentient enemies with this Armor equipped to unlock two additional looks.


PROTOVYRE SYANDANA

An evolving Syandana that draws upon Sentient technology. Collect Relics and Aya with this Syandana equipped to unlock two additional looks.


PROTOVYRE EPHEMERA

An evolving Ephemera that draws upon Sentient technology. Earn Focus with this Ephemera to unlock two additional looks.


How the Protovyre Cosmetics work:


Each cosmetic tier is permanently unlocked and available in your Arsenal as its own unique attachment once the required task is complete. Starting at the Protovyre tier, followed by the Protovyre Emergent tier and the final Protovyre Apex tier. Progress towards each tier is saved and can be returned to at any point. Progress can be tracked through the Arsenal description of the cosmetic, and in-mission UI pop-ups.

NEW PLAYER / EARLY PLAYER EXPERIENCE CHANGES:


In a continued effort to increase the accessibility of main Quest related items (Amp, etc) we’ve reduced Vox Solaris Sacrifice requirements. Those starting out on their Vox Solaris journey should find this allows them to progress through the Syndicate faster to reach the higher tier Offerings:

  • Rank 5 (Shadow)
    • Crisma Toroid from 5 to 3
    • Repeller Systems from 5 to 3
  • Rank 4 (Instrument)
    • Sola Toroid from 10 to 5
    • Repeller Systems from 5 to 3
  • Rank 3 (Hand)
    • Calda Toroid 10 to 5
    • Atmo Systems from 10 to 5
  • Rank 2 (Agent)
    • Vega Toroid from 10 to 5
    • Gyromag Systems from 15 to 8
  • Rank 1 (Operative)
    • Calda Toroid from 2 to 1
    • Vega Toroid from 2 to 1
    • Sola Toroid from 2 to 1


OPTIMIZATIONS:

  • Made micro-optimizations to reduce hitches in DirectX 12 when using the Enhanced Graphics Engine.
  • Optimized severe stutters that could occur in DirectX 12 on PC in some situations.
  • Optimized the Railjack HUD.
  • Optimized performance related to Noggles.
  • Made multiple micro-optimizations to the memory footprint.

  • Optimized several aspects of Transmission updating.
  • Made system micro-optimizations for PC, Xbox, and Playstation.
  • Optimized small stutters that could occur in DirectX 12 on PCs with fast SSDs.


GENERAL CHANGES:

  • We’ve changed the "SKIP CINEMATIC" confirmation when playing Quests to a "HOLD TO CONFIRM" instead of clicking OK. This is aimed to save players (like myself) who accidentally skip cinematics from button mashing, which could heavily hinder the Quest storyline experience.
    • This change does not affect regular gameplay cinematic skipping (mission fly-in / drop-down, etc).
  • Companions will now receive 100% of the Affinity from kills you make. This matches shared Affinity functionality (you receive 100%, Companion receives 100%).
  • Moved the Ghoul Bounty Aya drop to the Final phase as opposed to being in a majority of the Phases. As indicated here.
  • Updated the Operator Voice icons to better reflect their titles.
  • You may have already noticed this upon login, but emails displayed on the Login screen will now always be censored, regardless of having Creator Mode enabled or not. Your email will display only the first and last two letters before the domain, with the letters in between censored as asterisks. Additionally, we have updated the login email lock icon hover text to read ‘Unlock and clear Email’ to clarify its function.
    • Creator Mode still censors your email to be all asterisk.
    • The email domain is not censored by default, so if you wish to hide your entire email, please use the Creator Mode toggle in your Gameplay settings.
  • Moved the K-Drive Race objective markers down closer to the actual K-Drive instead of floating many metres above.
  • Increased back away distance for Grineer Lancers finding cover, so that they can shoot for longer.
  • Enemies are now more likely to throw grenades at a target in cover.
  • Removed Tenet Livia, Primary Kitgun beam-based weapons, Cadus, and Volnus Prime from the Conclave.
    • These new weapons slipped into the Conclave without a proper balance pass.
  • Set max instances on Mirage’s Eclipse loops so they don't multiply out of control when Hall of Mirrors is used.
  • Adjusted the Grineer Rampart context action offset to prevent clipping with the mesh.
  • AI cover positions have been tweaked to be more consistent.
  • Brachiolysts will now take damage when disarmed instead of equipping electroprods.
  • Decals on Harrow’s Condemn now uses Deferred Rendering for better performance.
  • Made slight adjustments to the Spritsail Prime Chest Plate when equipped on Nidus.
  • Rescue Targets are now far more unlikely to go after an AFK player over an active player.
  • Juno Geminex Moas' projectiles' AOE damage now respects line-of-sight and won't deal damage through cover.
  • Changed the Dojo Orokin Lab description to "Void focused research" to remove outdated Solar Rails indication.
  • The Quest Codex section is now ordered based roughly on intended order of progression! The Quests you have yet to complete will remain at the top of the list for ease of access.
  • Shading improvements have been made to older hair materials to add more depth!
Fixes:
  • Fixed Companions not receiving shared Affinity from other players when you are in Necramech or Operator.
  • Fixed a script crash in The War Within Quest when Transferring to Operator.
  • Fixed inability to proceed in the Junction Specter fight if you died at the exact moment the Specter also perished.
  • Fixed a spot-load that could occur shortly after an enemy Kuva Lich spawned.

  • Fixed Junction Specter being of normal level when attempting to complete it in Steel Path.
  • Fixed Client players seeing "Mission Failed" screen after leaving Railjack between missions.
  • Fixed Transferring between Operator and Warframe in The Index would duplicate the Financial Stress debuff.
  • Fixed an issue with spot-loading Archwing, K-Drive, Necramech, etc. when returning to the Orbiter (i.e. loading screen when returning to ship would "freeze" while fading out).
