Damage 2.0[]
- Armor resistances stacking on health; fix rolled out today!
- Resistances have been reduced slightly to be more balanced across all factions.
- Slash Damage not as effective vs. Infested? Developers are working on more balance, it should not ever be negative damage.
- Complexity is a bit crazy; DE's been working on simplifying it while keeping the damage types interesting.
New Warframe[]
- Paladin/Druid!
- This warframe will act as a Support/Damage Output and is dubbed to increase team survivability.
- One of his following ability is called Stairway of Heaven. (WIP name, and is not confirmed)
New HUD[]
- New mockup HUD here!
- You may notice the Excalibur and MK1-Braton are leveled past 30, this leveling system is not a plan and will not be implemented into the game.
- Sentinel HP bar, Melee XP bar, and Shield/Health bar now added.
Jungle Tileset?[]
- Screenshots in the media.
- Jungle Tileset will be introduced via Event.
- There is a Day/Night cycle based on what time you choose to play this tileset.
- It is said that this tileset will be located in Earth, and what is in this tileset is said to be what Orokin has done to the Earth.
Codex[]
- Void will be added into the Codex.
- Mission rewards will be added into the Codex.
- More infos on Explosive Barrel coming soon.
Councilor Vay Hek Rework[]
- Screenshot in the media section!

Miscellaneous[]
