Notes[]

  • When maximum amount of cysts are active (8), provided all set mods are used, the mod provides a +240% damage bonus for the Helminth Charger.
  • Strain Fever stacks additively with Mod TT 20px Maul resulting in a 570% damage increase with the maximum effect from the cysts.
  • As the Helminth Charger gains more cysts with Strain Fever equipped, it will also grow larger. Once the Helminth Charger has 8 active cysts provided all set mods are equipped, it becomes taller than any Warframe.

COMPANION REWORK (PHASE 2)

Phase 2 of the Companion Rework is here! Your Companions all cheer!

Our overall goal with this update is to address Quality of Life and Balance problems that have become apparent over the last few years with Companions.

So let’s dive in!

Beast Companions Gain a Moddable Weapon
First up, we've added a separate weapon slot to all your Beast Companions (except for Hounds, who already have one).

A common complaint that we have heard is that there's not enough Mod slots for Beast Companions that don't have a separate weapon, because the same slots are used by Precept Mods, survivability mods, and damaging mods. We absolutely agree that this was a problem!

Here’s what you can expect:

  • When you login you will automatically receive a Beast-specific weapon for each of your Beast Companions. This does not take inventory space or cost you any resources.

Changes to Companion Precepts

Many Companion Precept effects are currently too small or too brief to be really beneficial. We want your choice of companion to feel more meaningful and for your Companion to contribute in a more visible way, so there are a whole lot of buffs to get through.

  • Trample (HELMINTH Charger):
    • Helminth Charger also gains bonuses to health, armor, and damage for each enemy struck while charging. Damage now properly scales with the effect of the Strain Fever Mod.
New & Updated Companion Mods

Now that Companions have moddable weapons, they will need Mods to install in them. Some of the existing Beast Mods have been changed, and we have introduced a few new Mods to acquire.

These Mods have changed from being compatible with Beasts to being compatible with their weapons instead. Remember to update your builds!

  • Strain Fever (Helminth Charger only)
  • Strain set effect: Maggots are now created with their AI fully aware, which removes a pause they needed to wake up.
  • Strain Fever: Fixed this effect not actually giving extra damage per cyst, it was stuck at a flat 40%. Now properly gives +40% damage per each cyst, and has a HUD buff for visibility.
    • Also fixed the Mod description listing the buff as +30%, when it actually was +40%.

Hotfix 34.0.4 (2023-10-24)

  • Fixed Mystic Bond’s chance at a free Warframe ability cast triggering every 5 seconds instead of the intended “after Companion uses abilities with cooldowns 5 times” when equipped with the Strain Mod on a Helminth Charger.

Hotfix 29.5.4 (2020-11-25)

  • Fixed Nidus’ Virulence not benefiting from Volatile Maggot / Strain Maggots.

Update 25.1 (2019-06-05)

  • Fixed Strain Mod Maggots Energy color persisting as default.

Hotfix 25.0.8 (2019-05-31)

  • Fixed Maggots from Strain Mods not using the proper emissive colors.

Update 24.2 (2018-12-18)

  • Introduced.
