“You're not supposed to be in here! You're going to ruin the surprise!”
The following article/section contains spoilers. Please complete The Second Dream and The War Within before proceeding.

...This is who you really are. A Tenno, more than human... but once a child like any other.
—The Lotus

The Operator is the TennoIcon Tenno represented by the player, a young human whose DmgVoidSmall64 Void powers are the source of their Warframe's abilities. Operators control Warframes through a process known as Transference, allowing them to transfer their consciousness and power into a Warframe as a surrogate body, even over long distances.

A player first gains control over their Operator at the conclusion of The Second Dream quest, and obtains more direct control at the conclusion of The War Within. Operators gain access to weapons and Arcanes through The Quills and Vox Solaris factions. Finally, operators can learn and specialize in the Tenno's five Focus Schools.

Functions related to the Operator can be accessed in the Orbiter's Transference Room by interacting with the Somatic Link inside the ship, by entering Transference, or by accessing the Operator option under the player's Settings.

Focus[]

OperatorFocusMenu

Focus Menu and Daily Focus Cap

Main article: Focus

Focus (Version 3.0) refers to the Tenno's powers as guided by the principles of the five Focus Schools, as well as their associated special abilities. Players unlock their first Focus abilities after completing The Second Dream quest (starting with two passive abilities per school), and gain access to all remaining abilities after The War Within and Saya's Vigil with assistance from The Quills. Some abilities benefit the Operator or Warframe exclusively, while others can benefit both entities.

Combat[]

OperatorTranscendence

A Tenno performing Transcendence as the Warframe lies inert on the ground.

Transcendence (The Second Dream)[]

Upon completing The Second Dream, players can summon their Operator in a burst attack known as Transcendence (default: 5 ). The summon lasts for 10 seconds, during which the Operator fires a powerful Void Beam while also activating any Warframe passive abilities related to Focus. Both the Operator and Warframe are invulnerable during Transcendence. Once Transcendence ends, the Operator disappears and control is returned to the Warframe.

Activating Transcendence consumes the Focus Gauge which charges over time and fully fills after 3 minutes.

The Void Beam used during Transcendence oddly cannot damage Vomvalysts in their spectral forms, nor open Secret Labs triggerable through Transference.

Transference (The War Within)[]

OperatorBeamFire

A Transferenced Operator using Void Beam.

Completing The War Within will replace Transcendence with Transference. Unlike Transcendence, Transference requires no resources and has no cooldown. Any Focus passives will immediately take effect at the start of the mission, even if Transference isn't used at all.

Transference allows for direct control of the Operator and to change control between Operator and Warframe. Operators are less physically agile than Warframes but they gain access to the teleportative Void Sling, the defensive Void Mode, and Focus school abilities.

While controlling the Operator, the Warframe becomes invulnerable to damage. However, if the Warframe has an ability active, it will instead have a 90% Damage Reduction instead of being invulnerable. Conversely, the Operator is invulnerable while controlling the Warframe. Ending Transference teleports the Warframe to the Operator's last location, preserving the player's position. Entering and exiting Transference has no cost, is instant, and has no cooldown. Transference cannot switch forms while stunned.

Operators have 100 base health, 75 base armor, and 350 base shields. These statistics can be augmented through Focus school abilities and Arcane Enhancements. Losing all health does not subject an Operator to Bleedout but instead removes the Operator from the field, resumes Warframe control from the Warframe's last location, depletes all Warframe shields (which also does not kick in shieldgating), and inflicts Transference Static. A Warframe suffering from Transference Static has reduced maximum health, stacking up to 4x.

Warframe Transference Static
1 Stack 80% health
2 Stacks 50% health
3 Stacks 20% health
4 Stacks 0% health (instant Bleedout)
  • Dropping to 30 Warframe health while controlling an Operator (through special damage vulnerabilities) also inflicts Transference Static.
  • Transference Static can be prevented with MagusGlitch Magus Glitch or FocusLensUnairu b Unairu's FocusStaticPurge Static Purge.
  • A Warframe can enter Transference regardless of Transference Static as long as they are conscious.

Operators have 100 base energy, which regenerates at an accelerating rate of 5 energy per second squared, which is used to fire Void Beam and activate certain Focus abilities. Operator energy is independent of the Warframe. Energy Orbs, energy restoration items, and Warframe abilities can also restore Operator energy.

The powers available to the Operator are as follows:

  • Void Beam
    Command: Primary Fire (default LMB )
    The Operator's default power, the Void Beam is a continuous energy beam fired from their right hand that extends up to 20 meters, which deals roughly 2,000 DmgVoidSmall64 Void damage per second to the target with a 1-meter radius of its impact point, with a 1.5x multiplier on critical hits. Despite its sound, the Void Beam is considered silent and will not alert enemies, however Void Mode will be deactivated while firing. The beam is able to remove Sentient adaptive damage resistance.
  • Warframe Melee Transfer
    Command: Quick Melee (default E )
    Meleeing or performing a Finisher as the Operator will instantly perform Transference into the Warframe, who will immediately attack with a melee weapon if one is equipped.
  • Void Sling
    Cost: 25 energy
    Command: Double Jump (default Space  in midair); Bullet Jump (default Space  while in Void Mode (default Ctrl ))
    Void Sling is a mobility power that launches the Operator towards the direction of the reticule, which will damage and knockback any targets in range. Can be charged by holding the button to increase the distance traveled, from a minimum of 12 meters to a maximum of 32 meters, and will automatically travel after fully charging. Each enemy hit with Void Sling will restore 10 Void energy to the Operator. It can be used to bypass Corpus Laser Barriers and Grineer Sensor Bars without suffering Knockdown b Knockdown and DmgMagneticSmall64 Magnetic status effects (Spy vault alarms will still go off, however). Void Sling can also disarm Kuva Guardians of their Kesheg Kesheg.
  • Void Mode
    Cost: 5 energy/second
    Command: Crouch (default Ctrl )
    Void Mode turns the Operator incorporeal and thus invisible to enemies and various sensors (but not Corpus laser barriers or Grineer sensor bars), while also protecting them from any incoming damage, including fall damage and Status Effects.

The Quills, Amps, and Arcanes[]

After completing Saya's Vigil and The War Within, the Operator can initiate into a Syndicate called The Quills, who can grant the Operator various permanent upgrades. The Quills are located at the northeast most part of Cetus, through a stone door that can only be entered by the Operator using Transference to leave their Warframe behind. The Quills also have a presence in Fortuna, in association with Vox Solaris, which likewise players can initiate into after completing The War Within and the Vox Solaris quest.

The Quills' Representative in Cetus will provide the Operator their first Amp, MoteAmp Mote Amp, a specialized weapon to enhance their Void Beam while also creating a separate "ammo" gauge for them, allowing them to execute this ability without exhausting their other powers. It can be improved even further by gilding it and enhancing it with Virtuos Arcanes, both of which are provided by The Quills and Vox Solaris. Further Amps can also be constructed later by assembling different parts from the same syndicates.

The Operator's base health of 100 is also increased to 350 and other attributes such as armor or sprint can be enhanced with Magus Arcanes which can be acquired from The Quills and Vox Solaris as well. Additionally, the Operator is now able to perform a slide maneuver to help them dodge incoming attacks (default: LShift  while running), although they cannot slide while in Void Mode.

All Focus abilities become available to unlock upon initiating into The Quills.

Umbra[]

During the penultimate mission of The Sacrifice quest, Excalibur UmbraIcon272 Excalibur Umbra is rewarded. Unlike other Warframes, Umbra possesses sentience, allowing him to fight on his own (in a similar manner to a Specter) when not piloted by the Operator. However, Umbra can be harmed and takes full damage from any source, and will stop moving altogether if he loses all his health.

Necramech[]

Necramechs are Orokin combat platforms used in The Old War, now scattered across Cambion Drift, Deimos. Some of these drones can be found in wreckages but still barely functional, indicated by a blue swirling aura, which the Operator can take control of via Transference.

After completing Heart of Deimos and The War Within, the Operator can initiate into the Necraloid Syndicate and build their own Necramech, being able to deploy it in Landscape and Empyrean missions.

Effective Health[]

Health Calculation[]

Warframe0097

Operator Health with Vazarin and Magus Vigor

Operators have a base Health of 100, permanently increased to 350 after initiation to The Quills, which can be further increased with MagusVigor Magus Vigor and with FocusLensVazarin b Vazarin Focus school's FocusEnduringTides Enduring Tides. The formula to calculate operator health is:

HP = Base HP × (1 + Enduring Tide) + Magus Vigor

For example, with a maxed MagusVigor Magus Vigor, if combined with the FocusLensVazarin b Vazarin school's rank 3 or rank 4 FocusEnduringTides Enduring Tides ability +200% bonus results in:

HP = 350 × (1 + 200%) + 600 = 1,650

The following table shows combinations of FocusEnduringTides Enduring Tides and MagusVigor Magus Vigor at max rank.

Operator Health with Arcane(s) and Focus Abilities
MagusVigor Magus Vigor FocusEnduringTides Enduring Tides Total Health
350
✔️ 950
✔️ 1050
✔️ ✔️ 1650

Health Regeneration[]

FocusLensVazarin b Vazarin Focus school's FocusRejuvenatingTides Rejuvenating Tides also provides passive Operator Health Regeneration. At max rank the values are +6 HP/s as the Operator and +12 HP/s to the Operator while controlling the Warframe.

Armor Calculation[]

Operators have a base Armor of 75 which can be increased with MagusHusk Magus Husk and with FocusLensUnairu b Unairu Focus school's FocusStoneSkin Stone Skin and FocusEnduringTides Enduring Tides. The formula to calculate Operator armor is:

Armor = (Base Armor x Enduring Tides) + Magus Husk + Stone Skin

For example, with a maxed MagusHusk Magus Husk combined with max rank FocusStoneSkin Stone Skin bonus of +200 armor and FocusEnduringTides Enduring Tides +200% armor the total results to:

Armor = 75 * (1 + 200%) + 300 + 200 = 725

Resulting in a Damage Reduction of ~70.73%.

The following table shows different combinations of Arcanes and Focus Abilities which affect armor and also the resulting Damage Reduction. All Arcanes and Focus Abilities are considered max rank for table simplicity.

✔️ ✔️ 575 65.71%
✔️ ✔️ ✔️ 725 70.73%

Shields[]

Operators have a base shield of 350, and like Warframes are in possession of Shield Gating. There is currently no Arcane or Focus ability that increases this value.

Notes[]

  • Mods of any kind equipped on a Warframe or its weapons do not affect the Operator in any way. Similarly, Warframe abilities have no effect on Operators, such as healing.
  • Operators can use certain Gear items, which do not share a cooldown with a Warframe.
  • Unlike Warframes, Operators can receive DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage from falling from high heights. Falling from the top of Landscapes can potentially deplete all of an unupgraded Operator's health.
  • Players can switch to their Operators while inside the Orbiter and interact with all segments inside.
  • Operators are capable of Hacking, opening lockers, reviving allies, picking up items and Mods on the ground, and picking up and carrying solid pickups like Datamasses and Power Cells, which will be dropped upon switching.
    • They can also pick up Health and Energy pickups, which will restore the Operator's health and Void energy respectively, but they cannot pick up Affinity pickups.
      • Energy Orbs collected by the Operator will also restore their Warframe's energy.
    • If Void Mode is activated before Hacking, opening lockers, or reviving allies has begun, the Operator will remain in Void Mode for its duration, unless they run out of energy to maintain it. This allows for the Operator to rescue would-be doomed allies in otherwise lethal situations, or hack things that would be too dangerous to hack in their Warframe.
  • Operators can gain energy from the Arboretum room in the Orokin Moon tileset.
  • The Operator's health does not recover by going in and out of Transference, they retain whatever amount of Health they had before returning to their Warframe.
    • Operators can be healed by various sources, including their own Focus passives and Health Orbs.
    • If reduced to zero health, the Operator will be forced back into their Warframe, have their health restored to full, and their Warframe will receive Transference Static.
  • The effects of VoltIcon272 Volt's ElectricShield130xWhite Electric Shield apply to Void Beam.
    • The electricity damage will not apply to shields of the larger Eidolons.
  • The Operator cannot be summoned in a Relay or in the Conclave, but can be summoned in a Dojo, in Cetus, Fortuna and Necralisk.
  • Operators can use Emotes.
    • Operators can use Handshake-emote to interact with another Operator, but not with a Warframe. The area in which the emote will 'lock on' to another Operator is also far smaller than it is with two Warframes.
    • The Operator can not play the Shawzin.
  • Sentinels and Syndicate Operatives will not follow the Operator, and will instead stay behind with the Warframe. They will still remain active however and will stand their ground and use abilities.
  • The Operator has their own Stealth Affinity Bonus counter, which is independent of the Warframe's own Stealth Affinity counter. This counter is maintained and will continue to count down even when the Operator returns to the Warframe. As the counters are independent, it is possible to kill an alerted enemy with the Operator without losing the Stealth Affinity Bonus on one's Warframe.
  • Replaying The Second Dream quest will disable the player's ability to perform Transference when playing any mission in the quest. Players will be given access to Transcendence during the quest, however.
  • While in Operator mode, Sentinels and Companions will continue to attack enemies and take damage.
    • Sentinels hover above the Warframe instead of following the Operator, making them vulnerable to damage.
  • The Operator can carry a different Amp and set of Arcanes to his or her Drifter counterpart, making for a convenient way of quickly switching to an alternate build when necessary (i.e. a specific build for Eidolon hunts for the Operator, another specific build for Zariman missions for the Drifter).

Tips[]

  • The Operator can be used as a complementary stealth kit for Warframes without stealth capabilities, as Void Mode allows them to remain undetected from enemy vision.
    • Additionally, all of the Operator's Void powers are silent, making them ideal for performing stealthy actions.
    • Note that the Warframe will still draw aggro if seen, and non-sentinel companions will continue following the Operator.
    • Passing through Corpus and Grineer energy defenses like Laser Barriers and Sensor Bars in Spy Data Vaults while in Void Mode will still activate the Vault's alarms. Void Sling, despite its appearance, will also trigger the alarms.
  • Under Void Mode, it is possible to capture a target, hack a console, and revive an ally, while remaining invulnerable from all sources of damage including auras and Status Effects.
  • Void Beam can destroy Magnetic anomalies in Reactor Sabotage missions, though destroying it will emit DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity damage in a large radius, potentially dealing damage to the Operator.
  • The Operator counts as a separate entity from the Warframe for the purposes of mechanics like pressure plates. This can be used for various situations requiring a player to hold two different locations at once, such as the Collaboration Test on the Orokin Moon.
    • While the Operator can capture Interception points, their inactive Warframe will not.
  • The damage resistance gained by a Warframe during Transference can be used to survive damage that would otherwise be fatal, such as Toxin status effects.
  • The Operator's Shwaak Prism Amp part can be used to quickly dispel Arctic Eximus Unit Ice Bubbles, enemy shields, or even Nullifier Crewman weak spots thanks to the Shwaak's high innate DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage.
  • The Operator's brief second period of invulnerability can be used to body block otherwise fatal Bombard rocket damage if timed correctly.

Trivia[]

  • In Digital Extremes's script of The War Within, they refer to their own Operator used for story purposes as Mara.[1]
  • The term Operator was first used by Ordis to refer to the Tenno during the events of the Vor's Prize quest, which was first introduced in Update 14.0 (2014-07-18).
  • Transference employs a device known as a Somatic Link.
  • The Transference ability extends beyond controlling Warframes. During The War Within it is once used to possess an Orokin creature known as the Golden Maw. It can also be used to control Necramechs and Orowyrms.
  • Before Update 22.0 (2017-10-12), the Operator was capable of using Ground Finishers on downed enemies with their fists by using Quick Melee (default E ) while standing over and aiming at the target. This action requires significant amounts of Void energy to perform however, otherwise, the Operator will simply use Void Blast instead.
  • During Infested mission the Operator may be heard saying "We are immune to the Infestation, but they're still trying to kill us." This suggests the Tenno are directly immune to the Infestation, though it is unknown how or why. However, the Operator may also be referring to immunity by proxy, as the Warframes, being already infested, are immune to Infestation.

Bugs[]

  • Removing parts of the Zariman Suit may sometimes not update correctly after changing color options on the Operator.
  • A bug may happen on the Grineer Sealab tileset where the Warframe will float in the air.
  • In some situations, switching between the Operator and the Warframe may be erratic position-wise, including recalling older positions and glitching the player out of the map. This occurs most often when attempting to switch forms while inside an extraction zone or falling into out-of-bounds pits.
  • There is a rendering bug in the Orbiter that allows players to see inside the Warframe when walking through it as the Operator.
  • Placing a Warframe within the interaction proximity of consoles interferes with using them by the Operator (the action prompt may not show up at some positions) until the Warframe is relocated.
  • In a high-latency match, it is possible to switch to the Operator just before their Warframe is downed, effectively allowing the player to revive their own Warframe.
  • If a player experiences an out-of-bounds glitch with their Warframe while in Operator form during a mission and is killed afterward, the player will be stuck in Operator form after reviving. In this state, the Operator cannot be killed despite retaining the ability to receive incoming damage.
  • While Void Beam will activate the effect counters of conditional Rifle mods like Mod TT 20px Argon Scope when their conditions are met, the mod's effects will not actually apply to the Void Beam, conferring no benefit.
  • When switching to the operator in The Jordas Precept after killing the Juggernaut Behemoth and before the cutscene, the player will be sucked into space without their Warframe. The player will not be able to move until they switch back to their Warframe, and will then be stuck inside the infested corpus ship for the remainder of the mission.
  • When in void mode, the physical hitbox of the Cryopod does not apply, making it possible to walk through. When walking in and leaving the void mode, the Operator is stuck inside the Cryopod. Entering the void mode again makes it possible to walk out again.
  • During The War Within quest, beginning Return To The Mountain Pass: Earth as Operator instead of the Warframe will cause the game to break. This bug will persist, even if the player attempts to restart the game. It cannot be fixed unless the player re-installs the game.
    • On the Nintendo Switch version, however, simply closing and reopening the game will put you back in the Orbiter, allowing you to restart the mission as your Warframe.

Patch History[]

Update 35.1 (2024-02-20)

  • Fixed Operator/Drifter Configs not retaining their assigned customizations after making a Console account the primary during merge. This would often appear as if Config A’s customizations had been copied over to all Configs.

  • Fixed script error with Operator loadouts.

Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)

OPERATOR TRANSFERENCE CHANGE:

We have drastically reduced the cooldown on Operator Transference.

In Update 31.5: Angels of the Zariman, we made changes to Operator Transference to make it Client-Authoritative to alleviate the common scenario of latency. After the change was made, players noted that there was now a cooldown in between Transferences that was causing delays when performed back to back. We have made improvements so that the cooldown is much less felt. It is worth noting that there are still some idle animation bugs that can happen at zero cooldown, but the improvement will be noticeable regardless.

GENERAL CHANGES:
  • Operator Energy pickups will now be shared with Warframe.
    • Note that this won’t affect Warframe mods that trigger certain conditions off energy pick-up while in Operator mode (ie. Health Conversion).
  • Holding RB on controller now opens the Operator ability menu like it does for Warframes.
FIXES:
  • Fixed Excalibur Umbra randomly deactivating Exalted Blade when playing as Operator.
  • Fixed issue where Void Slinging into the Zariman Void Angel fight arena before being teleported out would leave the Operator invisibile.
  • Fixed issue of the Operator getting trapped in the Skybox after dying to the Golden Maw in the War Within Quest.
  • Corrected incorrect wrong emissive texture on Lumis Operator earrings.
  • Fixed Brief Respite Warframe Aura Mod affecting the Operator.
  • Fixed absurd Operator ragdoll issues.
  • Fixed Voidshell Material Structures not applying to the Drifter/Operator Voidshell Skin.
  • Fixed visual issue with how instant teleports (ex. Transference) appear to other players observing the Ability.
  • Fixed issue where Void Slinging into a Void Angel could cause total Operator functionality loss.
  • Fixed purchase button appearing over Operator faces.
  • Fixed rare case of being unable to see Operator in another player’s Profile diorama.
  • Fixed text issues in the Operator Focus Menu for the Ukrainian language.
  • Fixed missing Operator Energy UI during The War Within quest.
  • Fixed instances of your Operator appearing in the opening cinematic for the Heart of Deimos Quest.


Hotfix 31.7.2 (2022-08-17)

  • Fixed an Operator functionality loss after Void Slinging into the Angel's teleport volume.

Update 31.6 (2022-06-09)

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!

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.
  • 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 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’.

  • Fixed wonky arm animations while hip firing as Operator.

  • 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.

  • 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 the Credits looted HUD tracker not updating while playing as Operator in Orb Vallis Assassinate Bounties.
    • It used to only add the Credits collected once you transferred back to your Warframe, but it will now take into account the Credits picked up as Operator.

Hotfix 31.5.4 (2022-05-02)

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 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.
  • 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.
Fixes:
  • Fixed UI theme customizations not applying to the Operator Appearance UI.

Hotfix 31.5.3 (2022-04-29)

  • 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’.

Hotfix 31.5.1 (2022-04-27)

  • Polished some facial animation for the Operator unarmed idle and talk animations.
  • Fixed Host being able to hear the Void Sling / Transference sound FX from Clients across the map.

Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)

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.

  • Hold onto your seats: we’ve converted all Arsenal Screen rectangle icons to squares. This applies to places like the Operator 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.
