Acquisition

• Umbra Forma blueprints can be acquired from Reinforced Storage Containers on an active Sentient Anomaly on Veil Proxima on Empyrean.
  • At the launch of Update 27.0 (2019-12-13), an unintentional bug caused the blueprints to drop also on missions on Earth Proxima. This has been fixed in Hotfix 27.0.3 (2019-12-16).
• One Umbra Forma was obtainable as the Rank 29 reward for "The Wolf of Saturn Six" Nightwave.
• One Umbra Forma was obtainable as the Rank 26 reward for "The Emissary" Nightwave.
• One Umbra Forma is currently obtainable as the Rank 29 reward for the second Nightwave Intermission.

Using Umbra Forma on Equipment

To apply an Umbra Forma, go to the Arsenal and access the desired Warframe's Mod loadout. Select Action at the bottom of the screen, then choose Polarize, which will show all available types of Forma to choose from. Choose Umbra Forma, which will show a layout of the item's mod slots and polarities. Click on a slot to polarize with Umbra polarity. A slot that already has a polarity (either by default or from a prior polarization) can also be changed.

Notes

• Umbra Forma cannot be used to polarize a Warframe's Exilus or aura slot.
• Umbra Forma can only apply Umbra polarity, and cannot be used to apply other polarities.
• While players can Umbra Forma any equipment and the description also includes Companions, only Warframes and Melee weapons have Umbra Mods available.
• The Helios/Helios Prime weapons (Deconstructor and Deconstructor Prime) are the only Companion Weapons able to utilise Umbra Mods.

Patch History

Hotfix 27.0.3 (2019-12-16)

• We've made a change related to the Umbra Forma Blueprint reward. These are an intentional reward drop for Railjack missions in the Veil Proxima region (harder enemies, better rewards)! Wires got crossed to have it drop on Earth, which is not intentional.

Update 24.3 (2019-02-27)

• Introduced as a reward in Nightwave.
