Kubrow
Kubrow icon

Kubrows are terrain-restricted melee canine companions. Kubrows behave similarly to NPC allies (i.e. specters) as they will stay within close proximity of the player while fighting alongside them and will enter bleedout states when they are downed, from which they can be revived. Incubated Kubrows have variable permanent traits such as species, height, and eye color, as well as customizable features like fur color and fur pattern. There are currently 6 species of ownable Kubrows, each with different stats and abilities.

Lore

The Kubrow are a canine-like egg-laying species that originally served as companions and pets for the Orokin, and later as attack and guard animals for the Orokin elite.

After the downfall of the Orokin, surviving Kubrow on Earth became feral with only the most aggressive and ferocious surviving. Recent DNA-altering technologies have been unearthed that can allow them to once again be domesticated, to become loyal and protective companions to their new owner. This process however leaves the domesticated animals riddled with degenerative defects that can be constantly repaired. Intelligent and highly social, domesticated Kubrow also require regular interaction by those they have imprinted upon to remain at peak efficiency.

For the Tenno, a Kubrow can be a powerful and loyal ally; however, they are limited to melee attacks.

Types

• Raksa
• Sahasa
• Sunika
• Chesa
• Helminth Charger
• Vizier Predasite

CODEX

Prized for its ability to sneak up on unsuspecting prey, the Huras Kubrow were first used as hunting companions by the Orokin elite. Orokin Era Tenno soon adapted the strain for use in covert missions and assassinations.

 Hunt

 Dig
Allows the Sahasa Kubrow to sniff out and dig up buried items.

 Ferocity
Allows the Sahasa Kubrow to perform Finisher attacks on enemies.

CODEX

Once the value of Orokin guard-pets had been realized, it was not long after the Orokin guard began experimenting with strains designed for combat. These were no longer household pets but superior war animals bred for ferocity and aggression.

Acquisition

Incubation

The Huras Kubrow, Raksa Kubrow, Sahasa Kubrow, Sunika Kubrow, and Chesa Kubrow are acquired through Incubation. The process to breed a Kubrow is shown during the Howl of the Kubrow quest: the player must have a working Incubator segment, a Kubrow Egg, and an Incubator Power Core.

Once the player is able to meet the necessary requirements to begin incubation, the player is offered a choice between a random incubation or the use of Genetic Code Templates.

Random

As the name implies, a Random incubation offers no guarantees on the resulting Kubrow's Variant, height, gender, color, or fur pattern.

Genetic Code Template

An incubation utilizing Genetic Code Templates offers a much higher probability of the traits imprinted on the Template to be present in the resulting Kubrow, however, this is still not guaranteed, and certain Kubrow traits are not even imprinted on the Template in the first place. See the Genetic Code Template article for more information about the transferal of traits from one Kubrow to another when starting this type of incubation.

Drain Cyst

Additionally, when a player has a fully matured Helminth Cyst, there will be an option to drain cyst which will guarantee a Helminth Charger. The drained cyst will eventually regrow.

Regardless of the type of incubation, once the process is started, it will require 48 hours (24 hours with an Incubator Upgrade Segment) to complete. This stage may, however, be rushed for 15 Platinum 15.

Maturity

When the incubation process completes, either naturally or by rushing, the player will be able to name their new Kubrow for free, subsequent renaming is possible for 15 Platinum 15. Once named, the Kubrow will stay in puppy form as long as the players does not manually mature it. In order to take it out on missions, players have to manually mature it in the incubator, which is instantaneous.

Genetic Age Regressing

Players can regress the age of their Kubrows back to their infant forms through the incubator. In their baby forms, they cannot be brought into missions to be used for combat or utility. Installed mods, Formas, and Orokin Reactors will still be intact if the player chooses to mature their Kubrows again.

Predasite

Predasites are modular Kubrows^{[citation needed]} created through a process called Revivification with Son, using Mutagens and Antigens purchased from him along with finding wild Predasite in Cambion Drift, Deimos via Conservation that have been weakened by hostile Infested.

Mods

Main article: Category:Kubrow Mods

Currently, most Kubrow Mods are dropped by Feral Kubrow or granted once a Kubrow begins incubation. A few mods are:

•  Bite: Increases critical chance and critical multiplier.
•  Hastened Deflection: Increases Shield regeneration rate.
• : Shares owner's Armor with their Kubrow.
• : Shares owner's maximum Health with their Kubrow.
• : Shares owner's maximum Shields with their Kubrow.
•  Loyal Companion: Increases the duration of the Kubrow's bleedout phase.
•  Maul: Increases the Kubrow's melee damage.
•  Pack Leader: Heals the Kubrow by a percent of damage done by its master's melee strikes.
•  Scavenge: Allows the Kubrow to unlock lockers.
•  Shelter: Creates a shield around its master while they revive fallen allies.
•  Medi-Pet Kit: The Kubrow regenerates 6 hp/sec and an increased bleedout timer.
• Mecha Mod Set: Kubrow periodically marks an enemy. When the marked enemy dies, their status effect is applied to all targets within a set range.
  •  Mecha Overdrive: Shares the owner's status chance with their Kubrow, and increases the Kubrow's status duration.
  •  Mecha Recharge: Increases Shield regeneration rate.
• Strain Mod Set: Helminth Charger periodically grows cysts that spawns maggots.
  •  Strain Eruption: Spawned maggots explode on death, dealing a percentage of the enemy's health as  Corrosive damage.
  •  Strain Fever: Helminth Charger gains increased damage per cyst.

Notes

• Physical appearance (size, fur pattern, and coloration) has no impact on a Kubrow's stats.
• Incubation takes two days to complete, unless the player owns an Incubator Upgrade Segment, which lowers the incubation time to one day. This can be rushed with 15 Platinum 15.
• Players can choose to keep their Kubrow in puppy form indefinitely or to mature them for combat upon hatching. Players will have to mature their first Kubrow manually to finish the Howl of the Kubrow Quest and begin the mission for the collar.
• It is only necessary to obtain the collar once. After the defense task during the Howl of the Kubrow Quest for your first Kubrow, you will always have a collar for any additional Kubrow you nurture, without having to embark on another set of defense waves.
• Only 2 imprints can be made per Kubrow.
• A Kubrow cannot be used while imprinting. Imprinting takes 1.5 hours, but can be rushed with 10 Platinum 10. While imprinting, there is no way you can cancel the process.
• Like Warframes, their base health and shields increase as their rank does.
  • Health Restores and Squad Health Restores do not revive Kubrow.
• Kubrow benefit from the  Rejuvenation mod's healing aura.
  • They also can pick up Health orbs to replenish health.
• Kubrows are affected by  Oberon's  Renewal.
• Kubrow, like their Feral kindred, are normally passive towards their masters' enemies and will only attack when their masters attack or are struck.
  • Once there are no enemies nearby, their aggressive state lasts roughly 5 seconds before returning to their passive state.
• When breeding, the dominant trait takes over. Even with two imprints you do not have a 100% success rate of getting the same exact Kubrow. Sex and height have the highest chances of being completely different.
• Although Kubrow have a specific look in the Codex, they may have a look of a completely different breed of Kubrow. e.g. A Huras Kubrow looking like a Sunika Kubrow.
• A Kubrow's eyes and energy color share the same color.
  • Currently, there is no option to change a Kubrow's energy color.
• A Kubrow can be  Mind Controlled by a  Nyx under the effects of a  Radiation proc. The duration of the Mind Control is tied to the duration of the  Radiation proc, but the controlled Kubrow will exclusively attack its owner and no other allies.
• An active Kubrow can be removed from your inventory permanently by clicking "consign to the Lotus" and paying 25,000 Credits 25,000. If the consign button is unresponsive, check if you have a genetic template waiting to be claimed - the "consign to the Lotus" button will appear to do nothing when clicked on if a genetic template is awaiting collection, but no error messages are displayed to indicate why.
• Before Update 28.0 (2020-06-11), it was possible to put Kubrows/Kavats into Stasis to avoid DNA and Loyalty degradation, and they used Stasis slots instead of Companion ones. This is no longer the case.
• Kubrows sometimes play around with Roller Floofs.

Comparison to Sentinels

Advantages:

• Generally much better survivability.
  • Larger potential maximum hit points, shields and armor.
  • Easier to maintain in combat via  Pack Leader.
  • Takes area of effect damage almost separately to the owner.
  • Immune to Orokin laser traps.
• High single-target attack power.
• High  Slash damage.
  • Helminth chargers deal small amounts of  Toxin damage as well as high  Slash, making them highly effective in combat.
  • Base damage of 120.
• Attacks enemies independently, even those the player cannot attack due to intervening obstacles.
• Can be revived if downed.
• Variant-specific abilities are used more extensively, such as Raksa Kubrow's  Protect over a Sentinel's  Guardian or a Huras Kubrow's  Stalk over the Shade Sentinel's  Ghost.

Disadvantages:

• Highly dependent on the player's equipped Warframe stats and mods for toughness when equipped with mods such as , , and .
• Effectiveness restricted by terrain and AI.
  • Kubrows make no effort to stay alive, meaning they will accidentally down themselves very frequently.
  • Have been known to get stuck and left behind by terrain, leaving their Tenno alone and vulnerable.
• Short range melee-only attacks, prevent it from attacking airborne enemies, and reduces its effectiveness against ranged enemies.
• Difficult to acquire, requiring numerous rare resources to create.
  • Type of Kubrow acquired is random without using Genetic Code Template imprints.
• If killed after being downed, it will not be resurrected even if the player uses a Revive.
  • However, if the player is killed and uses a revive while the Kubrow is bleeding out, both the Kubrow and player will be revived.
• Slow at attacking and switching targets, making them less effective against groups of enemies.
• Slow attack speed makes its DPS lower than that of a fully modded Sentinel weapon.
• Suffers damage from Environmental Hazards such as fire, as they normally touch the floor like players and their ground-borne enemies.
• Higher threat level.

Bugs

• Apparently, Kubrow that zip-line along with their masters appear to be floating below the cable while being frozen in mid-air.
• Sometimes when you use a revive while your Kubrow is bleeding out, it may not be revived along with you, requiring you to manually revive it.
• In certain areas when a Kubrow is opening a locker with  Scavenge, it may go under the floor, staying there until it teleports up to you.
  • This occasionally happens when opening a locker on top of glass in an Orokin Void Loot Room. ^{(Not to be confused with Treasure Rooms)}

Trivia

• Cuberow is an alternative English name for the Ethiopian wolf deriving from the Amharic name, ቀይ ቀበሮ ("ky kebero", literally, "red jackal").
• The name of each breed of Kubrow is derived from Sanskrit, which is usually relevant to the breed's specialty;
  • Huras (हुरस्) translates to " stealthily."
  • Raksa (रक्षा) can translate to " protection."
  • Sahasa (साहस) can translate to " courage."
  • Sunika (सूनिक) can translate to " hunter."
  • Chesa (चेस) can translate to " chase."
• It can be assumed that Kubrow pets are hatched from genetically modified feral Kubrow eggs.
  • Though we never see the genetic manipulation of the egg, it would be impossible to simply have a modern feral Kubrow egg hatch into variants of Orokin Kubrow without some sort of genetic template to reverse the evolution.
  • An Orokin Kubrow contained in a stasis cell found in the Clan Dojo's Orokin Lab could explain where the genetic templates were produced from.
  • This could also explain the reasoning behind the DNA degradation.
• Although Kubrow have a gender of male or female, and the process in the UI is labeled as "breeding", Tenno are currently not able to actually breed their Kubrow or create eggs on their own.
• Many of the first batch of Kubrow who matured after Update 14.0 (2014-07-18)'s release were inadvertently killed permanently due to a bug during the quest to obtain their collar. In the notes for the hotfix which fixed the bug, DERebecca posted, "501 of the first cloned Kubrow have been lost, but never forgotten. 20/07/2014." Those who lost a Kubrow from the bug received the Kubrow Start Kit, a full set of Kubrow Mods, a new Kubrow Egg, a Kubrow Incubator, Kubrow Food, a Kubrow Stasis Slot, a Kubrow blank Trait Print and 10 x Kubrow Mods.
  • Kubrow Food was a feature for kubrows but was removed from the game
• Ordis has a particular distaste for Kubrow, frequently expressing it before correcting himself.
• There is speculation that the Kubrow nose is an Easter egg due to its resemblance to a cat's head (this holds true across all breeds, including Feral Kubrow and Drahk). Though the width and height may change, the shape and details stay the same, regardless of the multitude of other differences between Kubrow breeds.
• It used to be possible, due to a bug. To revive Kubrows by picking up health orbs.

Patch History

Update 30.5 (2021-07-06)

COMPANION SYSTEM SIMPLIFICATION

The Companion System has received a much awaited overhaul! The Companion System has undergone many iterations: DNA Decay rate reductions, adding the option to ‘Consign’, removing the negative effects from a lack of Loyalty or Integrity, removing Stasis completely - the list goes on!

The below are our continued efforts to streamline the Companion System structure that is now almost 7 years old! With a combination of Community feedback and internal desires we’ve changed the following:

Genetic Aging Regressing

Within the Incubator you can now choose to “Regress Genetic Aging” of an existing Mature Companion back to their non-mature state (puppy, kitten, etc). Keep in mind that this unequips said Companion (if it was equipped) and it’s Armor/cosmetics are removed. At any time you can choose to Mature said Companion at which it will revert to its former Mature state with its existing Levels, stats, and Armor/cosmetics intact. There’s no limit to how many times you can Regress your Companion!

Stability & Loyalty Removal

We have removed the DNA Integrity and Loyalty groups from the Companion Management Screen, and removed DNA Stabilizers from the Market. Previously only the Nutrio Incubator Upgrade Segment could eliminate DNA degradation. No more Stability or Loyalty degrading!

Hotfix 29.0.7 (2020-09-03)

• Fixed inability to log into Warframe if you didn’t own a Kubrow Companion.
  • This was hotdropped live Tuesday night!

Hotfix 28.0.5 (2020-06-17)

• Kubrows that do not have a Collar cannot be equipped for missions, but they can now be set to roam the Orbiter from the Arsenal.
  • This fixes not being able to complete the Howl of the Kubrow Quest.

Update 28.0 (2020-06-11)

Pet Companion Stasis Removal

All Stasis slots have been converted into Companion slots. All your Kubrows and Kavats are now listed upon equipping a Companion in the Arsenal!

Due to no longer having Stasis, if you currently have a pup Companion (not yet Matured), upon equipping it in the Arsenal the UI will prompt you to either Mature or let it roam your Orbiter. The option to let it roam is only available if you don't have a proper Kubrow/Kavat equipped. When starting an Incubation your current roaming Companion will be put away.

• The ‘Nutrio Incubator Update Segment’ now entirely disables DNA degradation!
• The Pets Breed is now displayed beside the Pets name in the description when viewing in the Arsenal.

Fixes

• Fixed numerous Kubrow Armors clipping into large boned Kubrows.

Hotfix 27.1.1 (2020-02-11)

• Fixed equipping Regalia on one side of your Kubrow applying to both sides, resulting in a Regalia overlap. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1166139-double-emblememblem-copy/

Hotfix 27.0.10 (2020-01-11)

• Fixed incorrect Kubrow eye glow color when using the Metus Fur Pattern.

Hotfix 25.7.4.1 (2019-09-05)

• When previewing Kubrow/Kavat Armor that cannot be equipped on your current Kubrow/Kavat (Hyekka, Moonless, etc) it will now display the compatible Kubrow/Kavat Skin.

Update 25.7 (2019-08-29)

• Fixed previewing Kubrow Armor in the Market with a Kavat active resulting in the default preview Kubrow’s fur clipping through the Armor.

Update 25.5 (2019-07-31)

• Adjusted the Emblem offset on the Helminth Charger, Drahk Pattern, and Underbrush Pattern Kubrows to fix them disappearing completely.

Hotfix 25.3.3 (2019-07-16)

• Fixed an issue serverside with accounts being unable to incubate Kubrows.

Hotfix 24.5.7 (2019-03-28)

Pet Incubator Changes

Pets no longer suffer negative effects from a lack of Loyalty or Integrity! Integrity and Loyalty are now strictly a bonus on top of your Pet’s base Health and Damage. This also removes the function of auto-Stasis when Loyalty and Integrity hits 0, at which your Pet will just simply not have a bonus and continue to live peacefully. The Pet Incubator has undergone many changes, and these are small steps in a larger plan to simplify this system for a more streamlined structure.

Update 14.1 (2014-07-30)

• Tweaked a number of Kubrow animations.
• The Kubrow ‘Dig’ ability has been altered so as to allow for both Health and Energy orbs to drop from a single usage of the ability, however this will only occur when the criteria for this event are met, i.e the owners health, energy, or ammo levels are low. Other loot will not be restricted by these criteria. In addition, any success chance over 100% will cause a second roll items, including Health/Energy orbs, to occur. Additionally, we’ve received clarification on the ‘Dig’ ability is as follows. The Dig ability generates items based on your needs at the time, and the amount of needed items increases as the mod is ranked. Which is to say, if you are low on health, the Dig ability will favour generating a Health orb at the time.
• Tweaked a number of Kubrow sound effects.
• Fixed an issue with Kubrow's not scaling in size correctly after performing a finisher.
• Fixed an issue with Arc Traps targeting Kubrows and Sentinels. They should not be targeted moving forward.

• Added more idle animations for Kubrow Puppies.
• Tweaked wording to add clarity to Stasis message for Kubrow.
• Added number of remaining interactions to Kubrow menu.
• Sentinels and Kubrows are no longer able to spawn in Mastery Rank tests. These tests are for the Tenno to prove their worth, not the pets!

Hotfix 14.0.4 (2014-07-21)

• Fixed issues with Kubrow Loyalty. Firstly, added better descriptions to explain Loyalty overall. Secondly, fixed issue where players could ‘use up’ all their loyalty interactions even if the Kubrow was at 100% loyalty, resulting in wasted interactions. Lastly, Kubrow won’t ‘happy react’ if their loyalty is at 100%, they simply cannot be any happier and this should indicate action is having no effect on the loyalty.
