Nidus Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during missions at this time. Check the current Prime Resurgence rotation to see if Varzia offers relics for this item. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.

Mutation is endless. The ravening plague-bearer returns in a long-unseen form, seething with a primal strain of the Infestation. Features altered Mod polarities for greater customization.

We cast our shining child adrift on strange seas. For with time, these starless currents black as mourning may work a sea-change. And if, one grisly dawn, the skies should hurl you, herald-like, back to Earth, remind us, foundling, of what we immaculate ones have lost.

What succulent riches disease's kiss may bring.

My festering demigod. My Nidus.

Notes[]

  • Nidus Prime, compared to NidusIcon272 Nidus:
    • Higher Health (550/650 vs. 455/555)
    • Higher Armor (425/525 vs. 350/450)
    • Higher Energy (140/190 vs. 100/150)
    • Higher Starting Energy (75 vs. 50)
    • Additional Naramon Pol Polarity (Madurai PolNaramon PolVazarin Pol vs. Madurai PolVazarin Pol)
  • As with any other Prime Warframe, moving close to the location of an Orokin Void Death Orb will restore a pulse of 250 Energy to nearby allies, even if that Death Orb is inactive, destroyed, or non-present. This effect can only occur once per orb.
  • Nidus Prime's appearance changes as he accumulates Mutation Stacks:
    • At 3 stacks, black tendrils form on the left side of his face, as well as his entire left arm.
    • At 5 stacks, the tendrils extend to cover his chest and back.
    • At 7 stacks, the right side of his fleshy body becomes covered in a black mass, as the golden metallic spikes on his right arm protrude outward, while tendrils form on his lower body.
    • At 10 stacks, the tendrils extend to cover his entire face and thighs.
  • Virulence130xWhite Virulence, Larva130xWhite Larva, Ravenous130xWhite Ravenous' Maggots and its Infested nests have unique models of Orokin design, appearing twisted and overtaken by Nidus' Infestation.

Trivia[]

  • Nidus Prime was revealed during TennoCon 2021 on 17th July 2021. Players in the TennoCon Relay were granted an up-close look of his in-game model.
  • Nidus Prime's concept art was illustrated by Mike Brennan, the original designer of NidusIcon272 Nidus.
  • Nidus Prime is the ninth Primed Warframe whose non-Primed variant was unlockable through a quest (The Glast Gambit), after GaraIcon272 Gara, OctaviaIcon272 Octavia, InarosIcon272 Inaros, TitaniaIcon272 Titania, AtlasIcon272 Atlas, ChromaIcon272 Chroma, LimboIcon272 Limbo, and MirageIcon272 Mirage.
  • When Nidus Prime becomes invisible, his transparent silhouette will be in fully mutated form, regardless of current mutation stack.
