Acquisition

All of Baruuk's blueprints can only be acquired by purchasing from Little Duck, using Vox Solaris standing. The main blueprint requires players to be at Agent rank, while component blueprints require Hand rank. Each blueprint costs 5,000 Standing 5,000 Standing, total to 20,000 Standing 20,000.

Notes

• If Baruuk wields his signature  Cobra & Crane, every first hit on an enemy will put them to sleep for 2 seconds.
• While  Serene Storm is active, all melee attackers (including ranged enemies that attack Baruuk with a melee attack) are slowed.
• Baruuk, along with  Volt Prime,  Saryn Prime,  Chroma Prime,  Ivara Prime, and  Wisp, possesses the highest energy pool of all Warframes in the game: 200 at rank 0 and 300 at rank 30.
  • This can be increased to 600 with a maxed  Flow, 850 with  Primed Flow, 880 with Primed Flow and  Endurance Drift.
• Baruuk has the highest potential damage reduction of all Warframes in the game, with 50% from his Restraint Passive, 90% from  Desolate Hands, and 40% from  Serene Storm.

Trivia

• Baruuk was announced during Devstream 119.
• Baruuk is described as a "pacifist Warframe" and "reluctant hero", someone who normally avoids combat but is extremely effective at it once pushed past his breaking point.
• Baruuk's abilities are described to revolve around mitigating, suppressing and preventing damage until reaching a certain threshold, after which he switches to all-out offense.
  • Artwork created by Alice Boudry for Baruuk's reveal coincidentally depicts Baruuk deflecting attacks.
• Baruuk's design is inspired by Sudanese tribes.
• The word "בָּרוּךְ" (pronounced Bārûḵ) means "blessed" in Tiberian Hebrew. Baruuk is depicted in-game wearing an avnet ('priestly sash') around his waist and up to the base of his ribcage, which was worn only by the High Priest of Israel.
• Baruuk is the 38th Warframe to be released (excluding Primed and Umbra variants).
• Baruuk is the first Warframe whose blueprints are obtained from a syndicate, Vox Solaris, using standing.
  • As a result, unlike most other Warframes, acquisition of Baruuk's blueprints doesn't depend on random chance, similar to Warframes that can be acquired from Tenno Lab.
• Baruuk's fourth ability,  Serene Storm, is the first channeled ability, and  Desert Wind is the first Exalted Weapon, in the game that doesn't require energy, using his unique Restraint that eroded with his other three abilities.
  • Restraint can still be eroded normally while Serene Storm is active.
  • Desert Wind is the second melee Exalted Weapon with innate ranged attacks, the first being  Exalted Blade.
• Baruuk's Exalted Weapon had a placeholder name "Paci Fist" in the dev build.
• When another Tenno who has a Huras Kubrow equipped and is under the effects of both Baruuk's Desolate Hands and their Kubrow's Stalk, an orb will appear on the Warframe, cloaked with the rest of it.
• Unlike most of the Warframes, Baruuk was released with only his signature melee,  Cobra & Crane.
  • As a pacifist, who is typically against taking offensive actions, this may explain why he doesn't have any signature firearms.
  • Baruuk is the first Warframe to have signature weapon synergy, since his release, before Update 24.6 (2019-04-04).
• Baruuk is the second Warframe to use another type of ability resource besides energy, after  Nidus and later  Hildryn and  Gauss. In Baruuk's case, he uses his restraint.
