Banshee Prime’s System Blueprint has been changed from Rare to Uncommon, as announced here.

Isolation & Arcana Bounty Flow Changes

Read the official Dev Workshop here for full explanation and details on the following changes: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1240567-isolation-arcana-bounty-flow-changes/

Isolation Vault Flow Changes:

We have 4 main pillars of Isolation Vault flow changes. Not only do these changes significantly loosen the required routine, but they also aim to further improve the process for less new player confusion.

You will now only ever need to complete a specific Tier of Isolation Bounty once to unlock the next Tier.
1. For example: Complete the Tier 1 Isolation Vault near Necralisk Gates. You can then leave Deimos or even log off, and the next time you return to Cambion Drift you can go immediately to the Tier 2 Isolation Vault Bounty location and run that Bounty. No need to run the Tier 1 bounty again if you don’t want to.
Once the Isolation Vault Tier is completed, you can run the Arcana Bounty at that same Tier.
1. Similar to the new Isolation Vault flow above, you can leave the session and upon returning to Cambion Drift you can go straight into the Arcana Bounty without first completing the Isolation Vault at that location.
Each Isolation Vault Bounty Tier now has a specific Mother location in Cambion Drift to provide a concrete flow with less confusion.
1. Tier 1 = Mother located in ‘UNDULATUM’
2. Tier 2 = Mother located between ‘ALBRECHT'S PROSPECT’ and ‘CATABOLIC GUTTER’
3. Tier 3 = Mother located in ‘THE ABSCESS’
All 3 Tiers of Isolation Vault Bounties are now available from Mother within the Necralisk.

Isolation Vault / Arcana Bounty Droptable Changes:

Now that the Arcana Bounties will be more easily accessible, it’s time to rebalance the drop tables:

Both Isolation Vault Bounties and Arcana Bounties now share a droptable. There are 3 different droptables for each Isolation/Arcana Bounty Tier that rotates every ~3 hours, allowing you to selectively choose the reward you seek and when - exactly how other Open World Bounties work.
1. This rotation follows the same window as the Bounty rotation in the Necralisk.
Rewards within the Isolation Vault/Arcana Bounties have been rebalanced to provide a better kick at the can for higher coveted rewards:

Droptable content breakdown:

Orokin Matrixes
- Less % chance overall.
Relics
- Midpoint % between the two old Bounty types.
Necramech Weapon Parts
- Now split up among the three droptables so you can target.
Necramech Mods
- Similar drop % chance, but split up to allow more targeted runs.
Deimos Arcanes
- Significantly higher drop % chance.
Scintillant (T1)
- Midpoint drop % chance between the two old Bounty types
Weapon parts (T2 & T3)
- Slightly reduced: You only ever need 1 of the Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa Blueprint. Getting all the way to the Arcana Bounties and receiving another Weapon Blueprint is not a feel good moment. Although this doesn’t completely eliminate getting duplicates, the drop % reduction does allow for better chances towards the other rewards.

No longer in the tables: Both of these have been taken out to allow for better odds at getting newer/desired rewards.

Rare Deimos Gems
Endo

Our Warframe PC Droptable site has been updated to reflect the above changes.

BONUS: Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa Blueprints are now tradable!

To balance out the Weapon Blueprint drop % reduction we’ve made the Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa Blueprints tradable. The Sporothrix and Arum Spinosa parts were already Tradable, but it’s now one step further.

Optimizations:

Made systemic micro-optimizations to shader memory on PC and XB1.
Fixed a giant memory leak caused by disabling Multi-Threaded Rendering (Huge thanks to .Zexal for helping diagnose!)

Changes:

Bonewidow Necramech’s can now be found patrolling or in its deactivated state in The Cambion Drift, similar to Voidrig Necramechs.

Fixes:

Fixed rare DirectX 12 crash when exiting Warframe.
Fixed rare DirectX 12 crash that could occur in a combat-heavy situation.
Fixed loss of functionality if you used a controller to open up the Pause Menu while viewing Bounties and viewed a squad member's profile. You can no longer open the Pause Menu while viewing Bounties.
Fixed Grineer Crewship explosion FX appearing blocky when destroyed in Railjack missions. This also fixes an unnecessary texture loading in.
Fixed some animation issues where the Quanta Vandal’s arms wouldn’t fully open after reload. This also fixed related motion blur on reload.
Fixed script error with the Quanta Vandal.
Fixed script error with Excalibur’s Slash Dash.

Hotfix 29.5.8

December 11, 2020 Forum Post

Additions:

Changes:

Removed the 25 Grandmother Token cost to Gild Items at Father and replaced with 25 Father Tokens as originally intended. A script will be run to refund those who were impacted by this change! UPDATE: Script complete!

Fixes:

Fixed Bonewidow’s Shield Maiden not functioning properly after it’s been destroyed for Client players.
Fixed Xaku’s Grasp of Lohk ability becoming non-functional is cast too rapidly. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1238057-xakus-graps-glitch/
Fixed Client squadmates not seeing the Host Xaku’s Grasp of Lohk weapons expire.
Fixed Corpus escalation beacons on the Orb Vallis not standing upright after being spawned.
Fixed a rare case where the Orvius might cause a crash.

Hotfix 29.5.7

December 10, 2020 Forum Post

Additions:

Our overarching goal with this Hotfix aims to address Necramech feedback and fix lingering bugs. As you may have seen in our 2020 wrap up post, we’re working on a mini Necramech Operation that will feature Necramechs in regular missions! As the days progress towards that launch we will continue to review Necramech changes and fixes based on Community feedback. If you come across new issues after this Hotfix, please let us know in this thread!

Bonewidow Changes & Fixes:

On today’s menu we have a hearty serving of Bonewidow changes & fixes. Let’s breakdown the nutritional facts here: Arquebex is a very high damage weapon for Voidrig, as it makes sense for his damage output kit. Bonewidow is our Melee Necramech more focused on survivability and endurance. Exalted Ironbride is not going to match 1:1 with Arquebex, but that doesn’t mean Ironbride (or the rest of her kit) should be overshadowed. The below aim to address common Community feedback to provide Bonewidow that extra dash of spice.

Necramech Melee Mods (Pressure Point, Fury, Reach) now apply to Exalted Ironbride.
Renamed Bonewidow’s Shield Maiden ‘Shield Bash’ to ‘Maiden’s Kiss’.
Reduced Bonewidow’s Maiden’s Kiss to cost 15 Energy.
Bonewidow’s Meathook thrown enemies now have 100% Status Chance.
Bonewidow’s Meathook now drains a percent of the target's max Health vs flat damage. When the target is thrown the Damage dealt is a percentage of the target's current Health.
- Both of these changes help to scale Meathook with varying enemy levels.
Bonewidow Necramech can now reflect damage while blocking with Shield Maiden (this is exclusive to the player’s version of Bonewidow).
Bonewidow will now absorb enemy attacks for a few seconds after activating Shield Maiden, and the absorbed damage will be added to the shield’s Health.
Enemy Bonewidow Shield Maiden now has a limited amount of Health and can be destroyed.
Enemy Bonewidow will no longer reattach her arm while wielding Exalted Ironbride. One thing at a time!
Removed Ammo UI when Bonewidow is wielding Ironbride.
Fixed a crash when using Bonewidow’s Meathook on a Deimos Mitosid.
Fixed Bonewidow’s Shield Maiden not deactivating upon Transferring out/back in. This resulted in your shield being on your chest (not active). However, when you pressed Melee you would do Maiden’s Kiss, and it would cost Energy, instead of the normal Necramech unarmed attack.
Fixed Bonewidow’s Firing Line affecting Companions/Pets.
Fixed Bonewidow’s Firing Line ragdolling you.
Fixed enemy Bonewidow sometimes getting stuck with Ironbride out and being unable to switch back to its gun.
Fixed Bonewidow Melee attacking while using Shield Maiden (Maiden’s Kiss attack) would show Atlas' Landslide ability pop-up text.
Fixed Bonewidow’s Firing Line animation not matching its current shield state correctly.
Fixed Bonewidow’s rear hit box getting hit from front attacks.
Fixed Bonewidow visual-only "Ability Use Prevented" problem after toggling Shield Maiden and Ironbride off.
Fixed enemy Bonewidows not knowing how to initiate a Maiden’s Kiss. Pucker up!
Fixed enemy Bonewidows sometimes using incorrect idle animations that would cause their shield to look unequipped when it should be and/or their sword to be held incorrectly.
Fixed enemy Bonewidows periodically playing the Shield Maiden unequip animation during a Melee attack combo.
Fixed Bonewidow’s Shield Maiden not deactivating after redeploying/Transferring in and out but still bashing with Shield instead of normal Melee. This also fixes a related issue where Ironbride would only execute the first attack in its combo chain instead of the full loop.
Fixed an issue with Bonewidow’s Shield Maiden blocking bounds becoming very small when attacked. This was causing Bonewidow to take damage instead of the shield.
Fixed Bonewidow’s Meathook not properly skewering the target if done by a Client player. Previously the ragdoll would appear to float around.
Fixed enemies held by Bonewidow’s Meathook able to cast abilities.
Fixed Bonewidow’s Meathook not displaying "Not Enough Energy" UI message.
Fixed enemies on Bonewidows Meathook teleporting to their last known spot instead of just being dropped when activating Shield Maiden at the same time.

Voidrig Changes & Fixes:

Doubled the enemy Voidrig recovery animation time to allow a longer opportunity window to shoot the weak spots.
Fixed Voidrig Necraweb ability “Press to throw” tool-tip remaining on screen after Transferring out.
Fixed Voidrig Necraweb canister floating in the air and tool-tip lingering if the canister isn’t tossed within a minute.

General Necramech Changes & Fixes:

Firing your gun while Hovering as a Necramech is now considered to be in an “Aiming” state, meaning Mods like Critical Focus and Marked Target will apply again.
Fixed (again) Client Necramechs losing gained Affinity if the Host migrated.
- We had this originally fixed but then it regressed with Hotfix 29.5.6 - our apologies.
Enemy Necramechs (Voidrig & Bonewidow) will now rotate its body to indicate that it is about to slide towards you.
Adjusted Necramechs desired spacing between players to avoid sometimes standing right on top of you.
Fixed Operator appearing invisible and floating after exiting your Necramech as Operator for the second time as a Client.
Fixed cases where both Voidrig and Bonewidow wouldn’t attack with its currently equipped weapon.
Fixed Warframe stats displaying incorrect values in the Arsenal when equipping a Necramech.
Fixed Necramech weapon getting stuck continuously firing after dashing while shooting.

DirectX 12 Changes and Fixes:

Fixed crash on launch when using DirectX12 with older Windows 10 versions (prior to Windows 10 Creators Update).
Improved DirectX 12 mode stability - fixed potential crash related to GPU particles.

Optimizations:

Improved frame-rate consistency when using automatic vsync.

Changes:

You can now Build Kitguns at Father in the Necralisk and Gild/Provide/Title your Kitgun! Everything a Kitgun vendor should do!
Extended context action range of the Bait console when grabbing the key during an Isolation Vault Bounty to help prevent sliding past it or standing on top of it.
Little blue Necramech and little blue Warframe Helmet icons now mark your Necramech/Warframe respectively on the minimap when not being “controlled” to aid in loss prevention.
Reduced Nekros Soul Punch area-of-effect physics impulse so it no longer launches enemies across the solar system.
Improved stability with third-party overlays and injection tools (Steam Overlay, OBS, Discord, FPS Counters etc).
Improvements to Corpus Ship level navigation where AI could get stuck.
Running out of Railjack Boost stamina will now clear the Boost state to address Boost not recharging once depleted.
Lowered Xaku Grasp of Lohk ability sounds.

Fixes:

Fixed being able to equip both the Primed Fulmination and Fulmination at the same time.
- A PSA was posted shortly after Baro arrived with his latest wares (Primed Fulmination & Primed Firestorm). Primed mods have been a feature of Warframe for several years, and it's our long standing policy that you can't have both the Primed and ordinary version of the same mod equipped at the same time (as is the case with both Firestorm mods).
Fixed crash when interacting with the crystal to begin the Nihil boss fight.
Fixed a crash that could occur if you skip the Tutorial cinematic.
Fixed a rare crash that could occur when using the Orvius as a Client.
Fixed Pause Menu not working if you died/were downed while using Transference.
Fixed Ayatan Amber Stars dropping far less frequently than before Deimos Arcana.
Fixed an issue where binding "Player List" to D-Pad would override its functionality when navigating menus with a controller.
Fixed rare issues with inability to Trade a Riven with the +30 Riven Mod Slots from Mastery Rank 30.
Fixed an issue where the whole screen would be black if you quickly skipped the fly-in cinematic during the Heart of Deimos Quest (may have affected other scenarios in which you load into the Cambion Drift as well).
Fixed players not being able to join your Public mission if you’re waiting on the Navigation Star Chart for players to join your squad on either Cambion Drift or Orb Vallis nodes.
Fixed losing full Chat functionality after defeating Nihil.
Fixed inability to use/cancel any abilities or use Operator after casting Revenant’s Danse Macabre and getting knocked down or attempting to ledge grab during its animation.
Fixed using Nekros’ Soul Punch to ‘mark’ a victim and then killing them with a weapon not raising them as a Shadow for Clients.
Fixed End of Mission screen showing Affinity gained for your equipped Necramech’s special weapon when you didn’t use it during the mission (no Affinity was actually gained).
Fixed cases where Mining nodes could be inaccessible in Cambion Drift due to spawning inside the environment.
Fixed inability to Chat Link Kitgun weapons made with the new Infested chambers Vermisplicer and Sporelacer.
Fixed Catabolyst not showing a TRIGGER TYPE in Arsenal stats.
Fixed Health bars displaying incorrect Health amount after the Host leaves the squad in a Free Roam mission.
Fixed an issue where if the Deimos Therid died while holding another enemy to throw, the enemy's ragdoll would be severed into two and look visually corrupted.
Fixed broken Archwing strafing animations.
Fixed Speech volume slider not resetting to 100 when default is pressed if the Transmission Volume slider is at 100.
Fixed Inaros Prime Chat link screen including the Blueprint button.
Fixed Tyl Regor’s axe appearing all black.
Fixed some laser beams (in the Void, Ropalolyst, etc) not making any sounds.
Fixed large fleshy walls rendering incorrectly on top of the sky in Cambion Drift.
Fixed excessive bloom on Ammo drops in Cambion Drift.
Fixed an invisible wall in the Railjack’s mesh.
Fixed wrong exit prompt when attempting to exit the Necralisk Captura Scene.
Fixed a script error when trying to Auto Install on Akbronco Prime if you also have the Damzav-Vati Mod.
Fixed a script error when casting numerous Warframe abilities.
Fixed a script error related to the rare item/resource UI pop up.

Hotfix 29.5.6

December 1st, 2020 Forum Post

BONEWIDOW ABILITY CHANGES:

Bonewidow has had a bit of an iterative release - there’s all the changes we made post-test cluster weekend, some pretty nasty bug fixes, and now, another big round of changes. Feedback regarding Bonewidow’s abilities have brought forth the upcoming Ability overhaul changes you see below! We appreciate all the suggestions on our second Necramech thus far, take a look at the new changes:

MEATHOOK: An important raised issue with Bonewidow is being unable to regenerate Health, as Bonewidow is geared towards the more “tankier” focused Necramech in comparison to Voidrig. This change to Meathook aims to tackle that head on.

Held enemies will lose Health over time, the Health lost will be transferred into Bonewidow. Held enemies will also have Damage Over Time applied to them.
- Drain speed and % of Health transferred can be upgradable.
Improved Meathook grab to feel sharper and more consistent.
- We found that the animation was sliding forward before the grab trigger was enabled, so if the AI was close, you would slide past before the grab would ever engage.

SHIELD MAIDEN:

Damage Reflection added to the shield, incoming blocked damage will be reflected back at the target.
- Damage Reflection can be upgraded with level and Strength Mods.
Meleeing with Shield Maiden will give you access to the Shield Bash you get while using Exalted Ironbride.

FIRING LINE: Firing Line needs to work as a better set up to let Exalted Ironbride shred enemies, and we’ve ensured it’s casting leads to better set up opportunities with these changes:

Added the Lifted Status to enemies hit for 5 seconds (upgradeable by Mods).
1.5x Damage multiplier on Lifted enemies.

EXALTED IRONBRIDE:

Radial ragdoll added to 3rd melee strike with the ability to Critical hit - but not full knock back as to keep enemies contained within striking distance.
Exalted Ironbride now has a slight aim assist that will help prevent over swing.

Shield Bash The Shield Bash has been expanded to work whenever you have a Shield equipped, not just when you have a Sword and Shield!

- Gun/Shield: The melee 'E' Key
- Sword/Shield: The left mouse button
Added Lift Status to Shield Bash.

General:

Truncated Bonewidow jump Melee strikes by 1 second to improve responsiveness.

Changes:

Improved support for unusual Dx12 video drivers that don't support any full-screen video modes.
Altered dialog timing in the Toxicity (2nd) stage of the Isolation Vault for better pacing of Loid/Otak dialog. Also tuned escalation timing slightly to delay arrival of higher tier enemies.
The 'Hint Transmission' audio toggle now applies to Glass Fissure Transmissions.
Rebalanced Necramech Efficiency Mods so that they do not stack over 100%. This applies to both the Necramech Drift Mod and Necramech Efficiency Mod. Necramech Drift max rank is now 60% Hover Efficiency and Necramech Efficiency max rank is now 30% Engine Efficiency (as it boosts all stats). Combined you receive a maximum efficiency of 90%.
- Necramech Efficiency Mods boost the efficiency of all Stamina-affecting maneuvers to 60% at max rank, which leaves little room to expand with other Mods. When combined with Hover Efficiency (Necramech Drift) which already caps out at a problematic 125% efficiency, we get some really undesired values. We missed the mark on balancing these before they were pushed out the door, which is our mistake.
Increased the Standing Rank font size of Standing Rank up from 18 to 19 to make standard and hopefully fix occasionally displaying a blank square instead of a number.
Improved the Railjack Inventory Slot flow for more exposure and overall clarity:
- Changed Wreckage Capacity count to use an icon instead of text + scrap button: hover to see text and click to open scrap window.
- Added an additional button for combined Components and Armaments (constructed Wreckage) to show Components & Armaments Capacity and allow you to Scrap multiple at the same time using the dedicated Scrap window.
Adjusted reverb sound settings to the Color Key Captura Scene to better fit the level.

Fixes:

Fixed a crash that could occur in DirectX 12 on multi-core systems in levels with snow that could leave tracks.
Fixed potential crash due to memory corruption if you had the game minimized while it was loading a new level and then alt-tabbed back into fullscreen mode.
Fixed Scintillant sound not being replicated for Clients, resulting in Clients not seeing Scintillant and thus inability to obtain it.
Fixed an issue when using the same Arc-gun in Heavy Weapon slot and Necramech gun slot, where Affinity earned before first summoning your Necramech wouldn't apply to the Necramech's version of the Arc-gun.
Fixed (again) UI becoming unresponsive when holding down a key while using Fast Travel/Decoration mode in the Dojo.
Fixed activating Aerial Ace while using Chroma resulting in his Passive extra jump being removed and causing the dragon wings to show on double jump instead.
Fixed recasting Xaku’s Grasp of Lohk with no targets nearby resulting in all guns to be lost.
Fixed Nekros Soulpunching an enemy to raise them as Shadow not respecting modified Shield of Shadows power strength if that enemy is your first Shadow.
Fixed Nekros Soulpunching a victim to death not raising the victim as a Shadow for Clients.
- Known issue: using Soulpunch to ‘mark’ a victim and then killing them with a weapon will not raise them as a Shadow for Clients
Fixed Residual Arcane zone damage numbers not showing up for Clients.
Fixed Bonewidow’s Meathook grabbing Dargyns.
Fixed force feedback not working properly with beam Kitguns.
Fixed Infested Research Bounty Fluid Sac throw objective text being erroneously replicated when the Host holds the sac.
Fixed End of Mission Medals not showing in the Last Mission Results UI screen.
Fixed seeing a grey box in the Market if viewing an item you already own after just logging in.
Fixed a script error when attempting to use the Railjack Pilot context action during a level transition.
Fixed a script error when an Excavation encounter starts in the Cambion Drift.

Hotfix 29.5.5.1

November 27th, 2020 Forum Post

Fixes:

Fixed Bonewidow’s Exalted Ironbride not using any Mods.
Fixed Bonewidow appearing under the wrong category in player Profiles.

Hotfix 29.5.5

November 27th, 2020 Forum Post

Cracks in Deimos Bounty Changes & Fixes:

Added ABCDE markers to fissures to help direct where you want to go next.
Added a blue waypoint to the Emitter carrier to allow all players to know the position of the carrier.
Fixed a crash that could occur after a Host migration and the Emitter runs out of battery.
Fixed script error related to the Emitter Containment Unit.

Optimizations:

Made numerous micro-optimizations to GPU performance on all platforms, particularly when running at high-resolution.

Changes:

Removed the ‘Mend The Family’ option from Grandmother during the Heart of Deimos Quest, which could result in an inability to progress the Quest.
Increased the projectile speed of the Arquebex.
Updated some texts referring to Orokin Derelicts instead of Deimos.
Increased the size of the rear weakpoint on enemy Nechramechs.
- This should make hitting the Necramechs more consistent with what you see.

DirectX 12 Fixes:

Fixed crash that could only occur in DirectX 12 when loading into a level with water, network latency, and a CPU with many cores.
Fixed crash on shutdown typically caused by 3rd-party overlay software

Fixes:

Fixed Clients losing all Necramech Affinity gained in mission after a Host Migration.
Fixed a crash when casting Vauban’s Flechette Orb.
Fixed a crash when a Vulpaphyla deactivates Martyr Symbiosis.
Fixed a couple crashes that could occur during a Disruption mission.
Fixed a crash when Garuda activates her Bloodletting ability.
Fixed a progression stopper in Isolation Vault Bounties where enemy Necramech’s wouldnt respawn after a Host migration occurred.
Fixed re-naming Dojo Transporter after placing it causing it to disappear.
Fixed Luminous Dye not highlighting the Flagellocanth.
Fixed Tonkor requiring an Orokin Catalyst instead of an Exilus Adapter to unlock the Exilus slot.
Fixed incorrect tutorial tips in the Heart of Deimos Quest.
Fixed missing collision in some spots in the Deimos Tunnels Captura Scene.
Fixed Focus Lens icons appearing stretched when awarded from a Bounty.
Fixed Khora Spectors only using her Strangle Dome and no other abilities.
- With the exception of Venari, as it is a tap and cycle ability. Venari will simply stick to her default attack mode.
Fixed Steel Path Incursion (Daily Alerts) nodes matchmaking with players who are doing the base version of that node and vice versa (if those nodes were unlocked).
- This could lead to a situation where you thought you were playing the Incursion for +3 steel essence, but wouldn’t get that extra reward at mission end.
Fixed the secondary Energy color option not appearing after polarizing Necramechs (Voidrig and Bonewidow) and modular K-Drives.
Fixed being unable to detonate Glaives using Heavy Attack while controlling it with Ivara’s Navigator.
Fixed a script error that could occur when using a Garuda Specter.
Fixed script error when closing Warframe during the Helminth Subsume animation.
Fixed rare script error when clicking on a Mod Link that contains an Arcane.
Fixed a script error when updating your Appearance in Arsenal.

Hotfix 29.5.4

November 25th, 2020 Forum Post

DirectX 12 Beta Support:

We are pleased to bring you beta support of DirectX 12 this week!

The DirectX 12 driver should look graphically alike to the standard DirectX 11 driver, but the new driver exposes several optimizations we can use in the future. Even though Warframe’s DirectX 12 support is still in beta, you should notice slightly faster rendering on most graphics cards and faster rendering on multi-core systems!

Please keep in mind that several optimizations are still in the works. For example, the new driver does not yet support the shader cache that’s automatic in DirectX 11 drivers. This difference means that as you play, the DirectX 12 driver must convert shaders from a generic format to versions optimized for your specific model of graphics card. Depending on your system, this process could appear as micro-stutters the first time a shader is needed. Other games work around this process by forcing massive shader compiles in their launchers. We hope to avoid that as we work on a different solution.

We also hope to hammer out some bugs during our initial beta test of the DirectX 12 driver. To that end, we’re keenly interested in having crashes reported if they only occur in the new driver. If you can reproduce a crash consistently in the DirectX12 driver but can’t reproduce the same crash in DirectX 11, please report the WAR-# in this thread. Learn more about reporting crashes here.

We’re also interested in knowing what looks different with DirectX 12 enabled. Differences likely signal a bug, so if you find one, please send F6 screenshots to Support. Learn more about capturing screenshots here.

How to Participate:

Simply enable DX12 in your launcher settings!

Necramech Changes & Fixes:

3 Polarity slots, Vazarin/Vazarin/Madurai, have been added to Bonewidow. This was an oversight on our part, and should have come with Bonewidow on launch, similar to Voidrig.
- If you've already Polarized those slots, we'll move your chosen Polarity to a Universal slot. IF you've Polarized all 9 slots you’ll be given a Forma.
Necramech summoning is now more forgiving on the Cambion Drift. You should experience less ‘Invalid Launch Point’ on slopes, inclines, etc.
Bonewidow's Meathook ability will no longer skewer Deimos Carnis and Deimos Saxum due to breaking throwing functionality and overall wonkiness.
Enemy Voidrig Necramech Storm Shroud ability no longer provides immunity, but instead provides damage reduction for the duration of the buff.
Fixed a crash when joining a mission where a squadmate was casting Voidrig’s Necraweb ability.
Fixed a crash during an Isolation Bounty when fighting Bonewidow who casts Firing Line.
Fixed inability to use Bonewidow’s Exalted Ironbride after melee attacking during the equip animation.
Fixed Bonewidow’s Exalted Ironbride becoming invisible after Transferring in and out of Bonewidow.
Fixed deactivating Bonewidow’s Exalted Ironbride while Shield Maiden blocking resulting in your active weapon to display as "Pugil", and you will still be holding the Ironbride in your hand. This prevents you from both firing your gun and shield bashing until you release your block and allow the de-equip animation to play.
Fixed inability to summon a Necramech on shallow Cambion Drift Exocrine.
- This also allows you to summon a Necramech along the shorelines of lakes in Plains of Eidolon and Orb Vallis!
Fixed ability to move around other players Vacuumed items by the Necramech. Your Vacuum should only affect pickups for yourself.
Fixed Necramech’s not displaying when searched in the Inventory screen.
Fixed numerous script errors when casting Necramech abilities.

Cambion Drift Excavation Changes & Fixes:

Endless Excavation now requires fewer Excavators to be cleared in the Endless Bounty variant for a full squad (from 5 to 3). This makes each round a little quicker and allows for enemy escalation to increase a little faster.
Added 5s invulnerability period to Excavators when deployed.
Increased time between Excavator deployments from 3 to 5s and added an extra 3s on the first Excavator to give players more time to prepare for the encounter.
Fixed reward banners for Endless Bounties not showing the correct bonus icon for previous stages.
Fixed some bad Excavator placements in the Cambion Drift.
Fixed Excavation arrival transmission not playing.

Glaive Changes & Fixes:

Alt fire will now also Heavy Attack the Glaive in Glaive+Gun mode. The original design intent was to reserve Alt Fire for the Secondary weapon, but a scenario where Secondary Alt Fire is needed while Glaive is in flight over Heavy Attack is extremely low. Bringing parity to Heavy Attack input in Dual Wield and Melee Equipped modes is far more important. Thank you so much for all the excellent feedback!
Alt Fire will Heavy Attack at any point during a Glaive's flight. Before, when a Glaive auto recalled after reaching its distance limit, it could not be detonated during its return.
Fixed Glaives sometimes orbiting around you after recall. As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/k00a5e/return_of_glaive_orbit/
Fixed cases of consecutive Glaive throws failing.

Changes:

Bounty objectives (on all Free Roam missions) are now enabled 5 seconds after the Bounty vote concludes, allowing players to reach the encounter area and start the objective before all the preamble transmissions complete. The arrival objective transmission will interrupt the preamble if the objective is started before the preamble completes.
Updated the Baurahn Prime Ephemera so the dragon bodies will take the Accent tint color, giving you further customization options.
You’ll now be placed just outside the Necralisk gate upon loading into the Cambion Drift from the Star Chart. We found that due to spawning so far away from the Necralisk was resulting in an inability to join Cambion Drift sessions from the Star chart.
Nora's volume slider will now also affect the transmission in / out sound.
Stalker and Acolytes have been given the fancy “boss Health bar” treatment!
Updated tooltip message for Energy while in Arsenal to read "Used to cast Abilities" instead of "Used to cast Warframe Abilities."

Deimos Delicacies Bounty Fixes:

Fixed Deimos Delicacies Bounty crashing after a Host migration during the Dig Up Fungal Polyps phase.
Fixed Deimos Delicacies Bounty crashing after a Host migration during the Polyp-Hog Juggernaut death animation.
Fixed progression stopper in the Deimos Delicacies Bounty where the Polyp-Hog Juggernaut would stop at a Fungal Polyps spot but not dig it up.
Fixed a potential edge case progression stopper where the Polyp-Hog Juggernaut stops if you’re out of range or dead when the Polyp-Hog Juggernaut got into the Fungal Polyps radius.
Fixed the Polyp-Hog Juggernaut waiting 15 seconds between arriving at the Fungal Polyps and the action being enabled.

Fixes:

Hotfix 29.5.3

November 23rd, 2020 Forum Post

Conservation Changes:

Increased chance of rarer Nexifera:
- Common ~67%->56%
- Uncommon ~23%->28%
- Rare 10%->17%
  - Only one Nexifera spawns at a time, and because they don't have Vome/Fass restrictions like some of the other animal variants this effectively diluted the table if you were hunting for a specific one. This will provide a bit more variety!
A Son Transmission will now play when you fail to mimic an animal with your Echo Lure.

Infested Research Bounty Changes:

The Bonus condition of ‘Collect no more than 3 fluid sacs’ had the most common feedback of being too difficult when trying to reach 25 and 30 marked enemy kills using just 3 Fluid Sacs. We’ve made some changes to ease the general Bounty flow and also provide an improved opportunity to achieve the Bonus condition:

Increased Fluid Sac splash radius increased to 16m.
Increased enemy reinforcement density while holding a Fluid Sac.
Reduced delay between reinforcements to 1s while holding a Fluid Sac for overall faster enemy spawning.

Changes:

Separated Kitguns from the Primary/Secondary weapons in the Mastery breakdown into its own category.
- Kitguns moved from Secondary to Primary in Mastery breakdown in Deimos: Arcana -- since this might cause some confusion we decided to just have Kitgun Weapons in the Mastery breakdown. This also makes it clear you don't double dip!
Removed self damage from Orvius charged projectile.
Deconstructor can no longer equip Volatile Quick Return and Volatile Rebound.
- Deconstructor projectiles do not have any explosive properties so the Mods did nothing.
Glaive meleeing will cancel Athodai's "secondary fire beam" in Dual Wield mode now.
Changed Volatile Quick Return +100% Blast Radius to +3 Blast Radius
- Multiplicative radius increase was increasing Glaives with a high base radius to higher than intended ranges.
Changed the default Necramech ramming and hovering controller bindings to crouch for ramming, and aim for hovering.
- Player feedback provided insight that pressing and holding hover with the controller removed the ability to aim with the right stick. This issue made air combat difficult on controllers and restricted Necramech gameplay to be on the ground. Please let us know how this change feels!

Fixes:

Fixed the actual base Blueprint for the new Arum Spinosa and Sporothrix not being in Rotation A of Deimos: Arcana Bounties. Arum Spinosa Blueprint is now in Rotation A at 18%, with Sporothrix Blueprint in Rotation A at 21%.
Fixed the final mission on The Deadlock Protocol Quest not being completable (the boss fight with Protea).
Fixed Isolation Vaults not being replayable from Mother after returning to the Necralisk.
Fixed numerous issues with the Cracks in Deimos Isolation Vault Bounty.
Fixed a potential crash with Clients playing as Grendel.
Fixed a crash related to Drones.
Fixed UI becoming unresponsive when holding down a key while using Fast Travel/Decoration mode in the Dojo.
Fixed Morgha primary fire consuming more ammo than intended when used with Archwing.
Fixed Polyp-Hog Juggernaut sometimes playing its dig animation in the wrong area.
Fixed various issues with enemy navigation not working on the Grineer Galleon.
Fixed Mire melee input becoming unresponsive.
Fixed Bonewidow’s Exalted Ironbride behaving poorly on Clients (i.e not appearing).
Fixed stability issues and crashing during the Cracks in Deimos Bounty.
Fixed an issue with the Cracks in Deimos Bounty not always progressing.
Fixed an issue with the Subsume action on the Helminth sometimes losing player input.
Fixed inability to equip Scrawls on the Infested K-Drive.
Fixed Mission Mastery breakdown not displaying when viewing somebody's Profile.
Fixed in-game News Console clipping with text.
Fixed [HC] line when picking up the Fluid Sac in the Infested Research Bounty.
Fixed text filepath showing for Medals.

Hotfix 29.5.1

November 19th, 2020 Forum Post

Additions:

Added an Orokin Matrix icon next to Loid’s Fast Travel option and his dialogue options in the Necralisk.

Changes:

Improved friendly Polyp-Hog Juggernaut’s survivability during the escort portions of the Deimos Delicacies Bounty.

/*In its previous state, the Polyp-Hog Juggernaut was not tough enough to put up a fight in the later stages. We’ve made the Polyp-Hog Juggernaut more robust to make the level 30-40 bonus much more attainable!

Removed Pulmonars, Proboscis Cernos and Catabolyst from Conclave.

Fixes:

Fixed the Health bar of the ‘Contamination Unit’ disappearing in the Cracks in Deimos Bounty after a Host migration.

Fixed Bonewidow’s Exalted Ironbride ‘Drain / Second’ stat not appearing when hovering over the ability icon in the Arsenal.

Fixed a script error related to the True Master Font Blessing Altars in the Relays.

Update 29.5

November 19th, 2020 Forum Post - Deimos Arcana

Since the initial Heart of Deimos release, you’ve delved into the putrid hills and caverns of the Cambion Drift and found a familiar place with the Entrati. As Deimos continues to fester within the Origin System, its insides twist and turn to expose new growth and life!

In this update, Deimos: Arcana uproots newly unearthed Isolation Vaults in The Underground of the Cambion Drift. The new Necramech, Bonewidow, with sword wielding weaponry awaits you in these unexplored rancid tunnels.

Prepare your Tranq Rifle and aim strong, the Undazoa and Nexifera have been spotted occupying the rotting landscape of the Cambion Drift. Remember to look both ways before crossing the Exocrine; the new Deimos Mitosid can attack at any angle!

Arm yourself with a slew of Infested weapons, build new Infested Kitguns, shatter enemies with the Gara Kaleida Collection, and much more with Deimos: Arcana!

** Please note, Test Cluster specific changes are at the very bottom of the Notes!

NEW DEIMOS ISOLATION VAULT BOUNTIES:

The Cambion Drift Underground you’ve come to recognize swells with new areas to discover.

Mother has 3 new Isolation Vault Bounties to complete! These new Isolation Vault Bounties become available after completing the initial Isolation Vault tier, with the respective Mother then offering the new Vault Bounty. As you unlock these new Vault Bounties, the difficulty will increase to match the prerequisite Isolation Vault and rewards will differ per Bounty.

In addition, 4 new Entrati Vault ruins await you in Isolation Vault Bounties!

General Isolation Vault Changes:

Removed the Vome/Fass cycle reset on the Isolation Vault Bounties tiers.
- Oftentimes the Vome/Fass cycle reset during an Isolation Vault Bounty was understandably confusing, for new players especially, and was reported as more of a “bug” than a feature - so we’ve removed its effect on Isolation Vault Bounty tiers! Also, with the addition of the new Isolation Vault Bounties, the time it may take squads/solo players to complete them all could exceed the Vome/Fass cycles.
Increased the speed of Loid/Otak in the Isolation Vault!
Reduced Loid/Otak’s base Health by 37.5% to compensate for the speed increase.
- The slow speed of Loid/Otak was common feedback to be addressed, but increasing the speed made their journey too easy as enemies barely put a scratch into them as they attempted to catch up.
Changed Otak/Loids defend HUD marker to the standard yellow version to help differentiate between Allies and enemies.
Adjusted Loid/Otaks path to create a more evenly spaced consistent length path to avoid a long slow return to the Vault when all 4 Generators are activated, or when clusters of Generators are very close together.
Adjusted Isolation Vault Transmission flow at the very start to speed things up a bit and get into the phases a little faster.
Scintillants have a chance to respawn in Isolation Vault Bounties.
- The new Isolation Vault Bounties bring you back through the previously completed Vaults and further into the Underground. Having Scintillant respawn grants another kick at the can even if Scintillant was already found in a Vault.
Esophages in Isolation Vault Bounties now have a press and hold context action to avoid accidentally interacting, and thus having to go all the way back down to do the Vault Generators.
Rebalanced enemy Voidrig (and the upcoming Bonewidow) Isolation Vault fights for a more fair experience that embraces the precedent set with Kuva Liches:
- *Enemy Voidrig & Bonewidow Necramechs now have the ‘Lich’ treatment with vulnerability to Status Effects, meaning you can now apply Status Effects to Necramechs! Additionally, certain damage immunities and diminishing returns for Warframe abilities have been added to balance this out.
  - The damage immunities apply to movement abilities, such as Banshee’s Sonic Boom, to prevent yeeting the Necramech into the sun. The diminishing returns are present to also prevent 1HKOs - on par with Kuva Liches.
- Increased the cooldown time when the Voidrig (and Bonewidow) cast their invulnerability shield while in their “armless” phase.
  - Necramechs are intended to have shorter cooldowns while missing both arms. The cooldown reduction was too high however and you’d often see Voidrig Necramechs recasting their shield within seconds!
Added an objective marker to the Bait Device if your Bait throw missed the monster-door.

NEW ISOLATION VAULT ENCOUNTERS:

New Isolation Vault Bounties also have 3 new encounter types within the Bounty!

Deimos Delicacies! Daughter has tasked you to escort/protect a friendly POLYP-HOG JUGGERNAUT that is searching for Fungal Polyps! But we all know what happens when someone bothers us while we’re eating…

Infested Research!

Curious behaviors have been observed of the Infested interacting with the organic fluids in the underground caves. Subvert the fluid extraction device and throw it back at them to collect samples!

Cracks in Deimos!

There is a mysterious mist wafting throughout the area, driving the creatures within mad! Negate the effects of the mist with the Emitter Unit and seal the mist fissures before the creature's attempt to open the fissures.

NEW NECRAMECH - BONEWIDOW:

This fearsome Necramech, fashioned in honor of the Entrati matriarch, is a robust front-line fighter. Favoring armor and health over shield strength, Bonewidow can grab and hurl enemies, deploy a heavy shield for personal defense, and cleave through opposing ranks with a massive warblade.

Abilities:

MEATHOOK

Skewer and hold a target. Use again to hurl the victim damaging them and anyone near the impact site.

SHIELD MAIDEN

Raise Bonewidow’s shield to block incoming forward damage.

FIRING LINE

MORGHA

Blast through enemies with a double-barreled shot of energized slugs. This siphons their life essence which is then used to generate the secondary fire’s massive air-burst mortar. The ancient Entrati weapon was built for Necramechs but also functions as an Archgun.

*Acquire the Morgha Blueprint and the required parts from Loid for Necraloid Standing!

NEW DEIMOS ENEMY - MITOSID

It takes two to tango, Tenno. Previously known as “Splitter,” the clever Mitosid splits in twain to divide and conquer as the Diploid. Both the Basal and Feral Diploid make up for what they lack in maneuverability with what they have in appendages!

****New Mitosid Mod Set

We anticipated shipping a Mitosid Mod Set with Deimos: Arcana. After review, these Mods needed a bit more time in the oven, and we wanted to make this clear for those who may have come across them on the Test Cluster in any form to explain their fate!. We’ll return to the drawing board and ship at a later date!

Reveal hidden contents

NEW ENTRATI MEMBER OFFERINGS

Grandmother has a new ‘Mend the Family’ option that allows you to provide Deimos Resources for Tokens of each Entrati member.

Here with Grandmother, ‘Mend the Family’ gives you another option for those spare Resources, Gems, and Fish Parts to put towards Tokens outside of their usual Entrati member role. For example, use a mix of Resources and Fish parts for Son Tokens! Use a mix of Gems and Resources for Daughter Tokens! Keep checking back to see how you can Mend the Family.

Loid (or perhaps Otak..) are tooting their own horn with the Loid Sentinel Skin - available for Necraloid Standing with Loid! This faithful Necraloid has served the Entrati family for centuries. He now stands ready to offer his service to you. Complete the double-sided look with the Mask, Tail, and Wings.

Loid has come into possession of the Ayatan Kitha Sculpture! Struck to commemorate the Entrati family’s power and prestige, as well as safeguarding their memories of one another. Many things changed in the years that followed, and that which had once shone brightly grew dark and dim. But even a single Ayatan Star may make all the difference.

Spend your Necraloid Standing for this new evergreen item!

Son has new Vulpaphyla and Predasite Precept Mods available for Entrati Standing!

Vulpaphyla

Martyr Symbiosis: Drains and stores 20 Health from corpses within 25m up to 20% of their Master’s Health. Sacrifices itself to heal their Master if they fall below 10% Health.

Predasite

Maggot Summoner: Maggot Summoner: In combat, spit up a maggot every 15s. The maggot latches onto the nearest enemy and provokes other enemies within 40m to attack them. It then explodes dealing 400 Viral Damage within 10m.

NEW INFESTED K-DRIVE!

Grandmother has gotten her hands on a new Infested K-Drive and it can be yours by completing each of her Races out in the Cambion Drift! Once you’ve acquired the Ferverspine, Gristlebuck, Nodulite, and Steeba parts visit your friend Roky in Fortuna to build the Infested K-Drive!

DEIMOS QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES:

Tenno have spent a lot of time with the Entrati family, and have shared valuable insights on how to improve their systems! Deimos Arcana brings many sought after quality-of-life improvements:

Vome/Fass time indicators now appear when viewing the map inside the Necralisk hub!
- Cetus and Fortuna have been given the same treatment.
The mining drop rate of Thaumica has been doubled! We’ve also Reduced the chance of getting Namalon while Mining in the Cambion Drift so that the chance of getting Thaumica is significantly increased.
- Both Necrathene and Thaumica were similarly rare, but Thaumic Distillate is used in a wider variety of Blueprints, so expect to see it appear more often from yellow mineral deposits.
Son’s Conservation tasks have been made more rewarding and accessible! There are two main factors to this change:
- Higher quality Conservation captures will now provide better rewards, as they do in our other Free Roam landscapes. Scoring a “Good” capture will now provide 2 animal capture Tags instead of 1, and “Perfect” captures will award 3 Tags!
- Son’s Token exchange has been reorganized, based on player inventory statistics. Smaller offerings will require more commonly found creatures, and larger offerings with more Tokens will require creatures that are harder to come by.
Necramechs will now increase max level by 2 for each Forma applied, up to Rank 40!
- With twelve Mod slots to fill, borrowing the Polarity mechanics introduced with the Paracesis made perfect sense. This change also prompted a discussion to address the mission restrictions with Necramech leveling (Free Roam only). As a result, we’ve increased the Shared Affinity Range in Free Roam missions (see below for more details). We still have plans to allow deployable Necramech’s in normal mission modes at a later date - stay tuned!
- If you have already reached Rank 30 on your Necramech prior to this update, you will retain the full Mastery Points for it. You are still free to level it to Rank 40 to unlock further Mod slots!
Enabled Shield-Gating for summoned Necramechs! You’ll now experience the brief invulnerability period when your Necramech Shield breaks.
Universal Medallions can now be traded in the Necralisk at Grandmother for Entrati Standing and Loid for Necraloid Standing.
The Latrox Une Bounty mission has received a balance pass to address both the length this mission takes and the Bonus being too challenging compared to others:
- Doubled the Drone Shields Health.
- The Drone Shield now regenerates after being emptied.
- Samples now drop at a faster rate.
- Less samples are required to complete the mission.

FREE ROAM SHARED AFFINITY CHANGE:

We’ve increased the Shared Affinity Range in Free Roam missions from 50 meters to 250 meters! When implementing the change to make Necramech’s level up to 40, it prompted the conversation of Necramech leveling and its restriction to Free Roam missions. With the addition of Bonewidow, it felt appropriate to dial the Shared Affinity Range up for these much larger tilesets. While it’s always ideal to stick together, we hope the 250 meter range allows you to both level up your Necramech faster and venture a bit farther in the landscape.

FISHING & CONSERVATION:

Undazoa and Nexifera now prowl across Deimos. Help Son study these new species of Infested wildlife!

UNDAZOA

These peculiar creatures inhabit the exocrine, consuming contaminants and depositing their eggs. They will not instigate an attack, but if you provoke an Undazoa, be wary of each variant’s unique defense.

*Acquire the Undazoa Echo-Lure and Pheromone Gland from Son’s Offerings!

NEXIFERA

These heavy creatures occupy caves, poised to drop from the ceiling onto unassuming victims. Each variant’s landing has a unique effect. Be quick if you hope to catch a Nexifera before it ascends! They will burrow into the ceiling to make a quick escape.

*Similar to Velocipods, the Nexifera is an ambient encounter creature you can find out in the Cambion Drift.

The Endocrine are home to 2 new species of Fish! Find the elusive Flagellocanth and Lobotriscid to bring back to Daughter!

FLAGELLOCANTH

These specimens were originally parasites, breeding inside the wyrm-guts of Fass and scattered across Deimos in the debris of his explosive demise. They are drawn to his light. Processed Fass Residue is required to attract the Flagellocanth!

LOBOTRISCID

A muscular, three-tailed fish, the Lobotriscid trawls through Exocrine vapor across the surface of Deimos when Vome is dominant.

FISHING & CONSERVATION CHANGES & FIXES:

Enabled Imprinting and breeding for Predasites and Vulpaphyla.
- Mutagens and Antigens are inherited through breeding, allowing pets to stack their benefits.
- Predasites and Vulpaphyla can only be named when Gilded, so naming after hatching is skipped.
- Predasites and Vulpaphyla can not be cross bred with non-modular pets.
- Imprints of Predasites and Vulpaphyla can only be taken when the pet is Gilded.
Disabled Conservation Tranq and Track during the Heart of Deimos quest.
- When it was enabled you wouldn't have been able to catch anything or see anything on map, but there was a chance to just happen across a start point.
Companion Predasites and Vulpaphylas now have their own description, seperate from the wild ones in the Cambion Drift.
Improvements to trails to address some of the more drastic upwards jumps required to follow the path.
Made a bunch of updates to Lure sounds and mix effects. Added more variations to scat burst sound (yum). Also made adjustments to transmission timing.
Increased number of Avichea spawned at Call Points from 1 to 2-4 and improved spawn position.
Increased the number of Cryptilex spawned at Call Points from 1 to 2-4.
Expanded number of available call points in the Magna, Infested Seraglio, Undulatum, and Albrechts Prospect areas.
Added height arrow indicators to Conservation markers.
- This reduces the number of call points that end up in caves. For the ones that do spawn in caves, the height arrow indicator should relieve that confusion.
Added debuffs to Deimos animals when they’re Wounded by Infested and reduced max Health on wild Predasites and Vulpaphylas so you’re not waiting around for Infested to wound the animals.
Added Vome/Fass cycle information to Deimos Conservation creatures in the Codex!
Fixed losing all control functions for a short period of time after throwing a Fishing Spear - most commonly experienced in Cambion Drift.
Fixed cases of issues with Avichea circling movement used when found ambiently and when they arrived at Call Points that would cause them to float way up into the sky.
Fixed Cryptilexes missing their Conservation drone pickup animation, which created an animation pop after capturing.
Fixed Conservation start points not regenerating on Deimos which would prevent certain encounters from spawning.
Fixed some Conservation call points spawning under the Endocrine.
Fixed ambient spawns only spawning common fish and ignoring bait (fishing with the Spear out still worked as intended).
Fixed Fishing after landscape time change not altering obtainable fish.

GENERAL DEIMOS CHANGES:

*Necramechs (Bonewidow and Voidrig) now have a built-in vacuum!
Necralisk Fast Travel UI now displays the respective Token for each Entrati member.
Entrati Tokens you don’t have the required resources for will now appear greyed out in each Entrati member’s Token acquisition menu. Saving you from having to hover and view each Token individually to see if you have the resources needed.
Added “Mother Tokens” next to the Token icon itself in Mother’s ‘Reward Details’ screen.
Added “Requirements Met” category to the Necralisk vendors. Selecting this category will sort wares based on if you have the necessities to purchase it.
Added “Expiry” and “Tokens” filters to the Necralisk vendors.
- “Expiry” sorts Tokens by remaining time until they expire. Tokens expiring sooner will be sorted at the top of the list.
- “Tokens” sorts Tokens by the amount in one purchase. In other words, the higher the number of Tokens in a single purchase the higher it will appear in the list.
Added more idle Otak lines in the Necralisk when interacting with him.
Added another race node to the Cambion Drift Abyssal Skim race to lead the player better.
Increased the Deimos Juggernaut variants Affinity gain to 500.
- This was done to be more consistent with the Deimos Saxum variants.
Made slight updates to Son’s skin textures and fixed neck seam issues.
Made slight revisions to Daughter’s textures to better match her head to her body.
Enemies in the Cambion Drift will now have a blue energy FX applied to their weapons when Vome is alive and wyrming around.
Added Deimos Leapers and Deimos Conservation animals to the Codex.
Made improvements to the enemy pathing in tight underground areas in the Cambion Drift.
Changed the number of Obelisks that appear in the Cambion Drift from 6 to 5.
- With the introduction of the newest Bounties, we reviewed Obelisk spawn sites and saw that they were occupying vacant sites that we felt would be better used for new Bounty objectives! These sites were also difficult for enemies to maneuver and access, and they would often get stuck in the Obelisk shards.

NEW INFESTED WEAPONRY:

Your Arsenal is about to get a whole lot more sticky with a slew of new Infested weapons!

CATABOLYST

Splatter enemies with a short-range stream of corrosive bile. Upon reload, toss the ammo bladder as a grenade. The emptier the pistol’s ammo bladder, the more potent its damage.

GLAIVES REVISITED:

Many of these changes focus on enhancing the unique gameplay options that a Glaive can offer. We’ll start simple with throwing mechanics, and work our way up:

Heavy Attack (aka Glaive detonation) will now do more damage, more consistently! Damage numbers have been increased, and the area-of-effect falloff has been removed, meaning max damage no matter what part of the explosion hits an enemy. This should help encourage use of Glaives’ unique detonation functionality; another option to compliment swinging and throwing the weapon, allowing for massive bursts of damage when needed.

“Hold throw” mechanics now apply in Equipped Melee mode! When we added the ability to wield a Glaive alongside any one-handed secondary, we introduced a new system for throwing Glaives that was quicker and more intuitive. This modern system for both ground and air throwing has been applied to pure melee mode, making Glaives consistent no matter how they are used.

In “Glaive + Gun” mode, players must use the melee key to detonate the Glaive while in flight. With only the Glaive in hand, the alt fire button is no longer reserved for your secondary weapon, which allows for added flexibility - press alt fire for a Heavy Attack detonation, or tap melee for a simple recall

Glaive throws can now be performed while sliding! Tap to perform a regular spin attack, or hold to throw. An added level of flexibility to the Glaive playstyle.

Throw melee inputs can be “queued up”, one after the other! Also known as “buffering”, this means if you are holding a melee input as the Glaive returns to your hand, you will start charging another throw as soon as possible. With this change, a smooth gameflow emerges: throw a Glaive, hold melee as it returns, catch, release, repeat.

Glaives can now be thrown multiple times in a single jump! Limitations to this type of throw have been removed to allow more chained throws.

With all of these improvements, Glaive throwing and detonating should become a more prominent and viable way to use these weapons. But we’re only getting started!

Another feature that makes Glaives stand out from other melee weapons, is their ability to be wielded alongside a one-handed secondary. This “Glaive + Gun” mode is also getting a couple upgrades:

Melee stance combos are now available in Glaive + Gun mode! Using a weapon combo will no longer restrict your melee options and movement, making Glaives even more deadly.

Glaive + Gun mode now utilizes melee auto blocking when not aiming or firing! This feature introduced in recent melee system updates will now also apply to the weapon combo mode, offering the benefits of actively equipped melee while still keeping your secondary at the ready.

With all these changes combined, we hope Glaive gameplay will feel more fluid, fun and unique. To encourage exploration of these new mechanics, we are also making changes to Glaive Modding options, improving old Mods and introducing new choices for players to try!

Glaive Mod Power Throw has been given respective buffs:

Increased Punch Through from 0.6 to 2m.
- +2m Punch Through. On Consecutive Throw: +100% Throw Damage (up to maximum 3 stacks)
Added 60% projectile speed.

This Mod will now be great for players who embrace the “catch and release” playstyle introduced by the changes to melee input queueing.

We also have two new Mods to help modify your playstyle even further…

Volatile Rebound: 100% Chance to explode on Bounce (Disables Punch Through).

Reveal hidden contents

Volatile Quick Return: -4 Bounce. +100% Blast Radius. 100% chance to explode on Bounce (disables Punch Through).

Reveal hidden contents

Unlike a Heavy Attack, the explosions from these Mods do NOT consume your combo counter. Equip Volatile Rebound to inflict as much chaos as possible from a single throw, or Volatile Quick Return for rapid targeted strikes.

*Find the Volatile Rebound and Volatile Quick Return Mods from Cambion Drift Deimos enemies!

Below are some specific changes per weapon from the above changes:

Cerata

Added guaranteed Toxin proc on Heavy Attack Detonation.
Increased Critical Damage from 2.2 to 2.3x of throw.
Reduced AoE fall off from 50% to 30%.

Glaive specific stat display changes:

Removed ‘Damage’ value from Heavy Attack since this value is no longer used.
‘Radial Attack’ has been renamed to ‘Bounce Attack’.
- This stat is only shown when the weapon is equipped with a mod that has the chance to explode on bounce qualifier (ie. the new Glaive mods Volatile Rebound and Volatile Quick Return!)
Added a stat for % chance to explode on bounce.
Added ‘Heavy Radial Attack’ stat to both Throw and Charge Throw categories.

XAKU ROUND 2 CHANGES & FIXES:

We’ve been keeping tabs on the usual feedback channels to read and review your takes on Xaku in their updated form. We have been pleased to see that generally these changes have been enjoyed thus far, and that we’ve taken a step in the right direction. But as many have expressed, and to which we have found ourselves agreeing, our work is not done yet on this Community Warframe!

So here we are with a second round of changes based on the most standout and widely discussed points we saw strewn across the feedback hubs. Whether it's iterating on Round 1 or offering new insight on Xaku’s abilities, we thank you for sharing!

General Changes:

Xaku's "The Lost" ability description will now include descriptions of "Accuse", "Deny", and "Gaze" within it.

Xata’s Whisper (Void Status Effect):

Void damage’s Status Effect will now redirect projectiles to the body part it proc’d on.
- How it will work: If you shoot at an enemy’s head with Xata’s Whisper enabled and proc, the bubble will redirect all projectiles to the head. If you shoot at the feet, it’ll be redirected to the feet, etc.! It is however possible that even if you proc on the head but then shoot at the lower part of the bubble it might hit the body on the way up to being redirected to the head.
- This is a game wide change to Void Status Effect! Now that we have a Warframe that can harness Void damage at the click of a button, it has brought much focus to and discussion around its Status Effect. For those of you who are unfamiliar, in its current state it creates a bullet attractor bubble that directs all projectiles to the center of the enemy’s torso regardless of where it procs. Since Xata’s Whisper applies Void damage to all of their weapons, it was increasingly noticeable to Xaku players that the bubble’s current redirecting position prevents any attempt at enemy headshots until its duration expires. This is one of the main reasons for this change. Headshot disruption ultimately limits your damage output by removing the opportunity for headshot multipliers while it is active. Now, you will be able to use your headshotting skills to greater benefit, while also having generally more options to focus projectiles where desired. Note that regardless of where the Status Effect occurs, it will continue to prevent enemies from being able to shoot at you without having their projectiles redirected back to the center of the bubble.

Grasp of Lohk:

Re-casting will now steal weapons up to the max number of affected targets.
- How it will work: You will be able to re-cast up to the max number of targets that you can steal from. In other words, you can add to the current batch of weapons. For example, if your max target is set to 6, and you have 3 weapons active, Grasp of Lohk can be re-cast to “top up” to the remaining 3 weapon allowance. Newly grabbed weapons from re-casts will have independent durations from the previous batch - similar to Protea’s Blaze Artillery.
- We made re-casting available in Round 1 and set it up to replace the entire current active batch of weapons. Our original reasoning was that this allowed for a ‘fresh’ cast to be made if an undesirable pull occurred. But what makes far more sense is to follow the precedent set by Nekros’ Shadows of the Dead. So now you can maintain your current floating auto-cannon sidekicks and re-cast to refill or top up to the max on command. This will give far more control in maintaining the max number of active weapons you can have at once.
Added HUD tracker for active weapons.
- Following our re-cast change, we thought it would be quite helpful to know exactly how many weapons you have active so that you know how many more you can add on re-cast. Instead of counting them manually one by one as they float and shoot around, this is much easier on the eyes!
Stolen weapons will no longer target invulnerable enemies.
- Currently, Grasp of Lohk weapons will target enemies with grey health bars indicating that they are invulnerable. This clearly serves no purpose as their health cannot be damaged and ultimately takes focus away from more important targets. Not to mention that this is a poor use of the ability’s duration drain. As a result, we’ve removed invulnerable enemies as target candidates and stolen weapons will now redirect to vulnerable enemies within range.

Grasp of Lohk weapons will visually darken when near the end of their lifespan.
- Although the ability bar does count down the lifespan once cast, this visual change offers another way to determine when your Grasp of Lohk needs to be recast as opposed to waiting until the ability expires completely, or having to watch/recheck the ability bar.

Note on Grasp of Lohk’s ‘Target Range’:
- In Round 1, we made the distinction between Grasp of Lohk’s ‘Grab Range’ and ‘Target Range’. We then increased its ‘Grab Range’ and left ‘Target Range’ untouched due to “firing range experiments being a bit too wild for Round 1”. As we’ve continued testing, this has held true. In any instance where we’ve increased it, even slightly, we neared a state that we had already established was undesirable due to its encouragement of an ‘inactive’ way of playing (Ember’s “World on Fire” comes to mind before it was changed to “Inferno”). As a result, ‘Target Range’ will continue to remain untouched for this round.

The Lost: Accuse

We are following through with our proposed idea from Round 1 and have made Accuse re-castable!
- How it will work: The same way Grasp of Lohk will be set up in Round 2! You will be able to re-cast up to the max number of targets that can be affected/corrupted. For example, if your max target is set to 10, and you have 5 active, Accuse can be re-cast to “top up” to the remaining 5 corrupted crew allowance. Enemies corrupted from re-cast will have independent durations from the previous batch.
- Currently, Accuse cannot be re-cast until the duration expires or all affected enemies are killed. Which means that often you find yourself locked into a corrupted crew that is inefficient due to dwindling numbers, poor initial cast, etc. For those reasons and more, this was a highly requested change that we are happy to make happen!
Added HUD tracker for active "Accused" enemies
- This'll look familiar because we added this for Grasp of Lohk and explained above, but just so that we have intent clear here with Accuse as well! We thought it would be quite helpful to know exactly how many "Accused" enemies you have active so that you know how many more you can add on re-cast. Instead of counting them manually one by one as they run around, this is much easier on the eyes!

The Lost: Gaze

Increased base radius from 8m to 12m.
- Increasing the base radius range on “Gazed” enemies was highly requested since its defense reduction applies to enemies while they are within the affected area. As we noted in Round 1, we evaluated Gaze and how it performs with established builds that maximized its effects. Increasing the base radius range hits the spot between improving the ability’s effectiveness and managing what is already established as powerful with focused builds. Essentially, more space for more enemies to have their defenses stripped without tipping the scales dramatically on is an already well performing ability when used strategically.

The Lost: Deny

Increased Deny’s beam width and base range (25m to 40m).
- Straightforward change to help you target and damage more enemies. More bang for your beam!
Deny can now be cast while moving.
- Currently, Deny’s casting animation locks Xaku in place. While we did increase the casting speed in Round 1, it just simply was not enough to fulfill the parkour freedom you’ve become well familiar with in Warframe. Removing the lock brings back the ninja fantasy while also making the most of the synergy between Deny and Grasp of Lohk that we added in Round 1. As we said in our first Xaku Dev Workshop, “more firepower… faster”, but this time we really mean it!

Fixes:

Fixed Xaku’s Xata’s Whisper sometimers not applying its damage buff or Void Status Effect when using the Komorex.
Fixed Xaku’s Xata’s Whisper not using the intended Status Chance for projectile weapons.
Fixed the HUD timer icon for Xata’s Whisper in the top right corner ticking down regardless of The Vast Untime being active. This was only a visual bug, and did not actually affect the ‘time freezing’ synergy with The Vast Untime and Xaku’s other abilities.
Fixed Xaku’s skin not being properly localized.
Fixed Xaku missing their head and armor when viewed in the Mods Tutorial screens.
Fixed camera obstruction and misaligned aiming if Xaku’s Grasp creates a Shedu armament.

THE STEEL PATH: ACOLYTES JOIN THE BATTLE & MORE!

The Steel Path provides Tenno with two things: a more difficult journey on the Star Chart, and a new economy with Steel Essence to get some gear.

We have decided to revisit the Steel Essence acquisition because at present time, people feel forced to play extremely long macro-based runs to optimize their runs. We would rather try something else.

Introducing: Acolyte Minibosses & Steel Path Incursions (Daily Alerts)!

Every day, five Steel Path missions will be chosen randomly, and completing them will award 3 Steel Essence per Incursion. Furthermore, this will unlock the node, even if you have not reached that part of the Steel Path yet! This should help improve the matchmaking situation, among other things.
- NOTE: Steel Path Incursions will appear in the Alert section of the World State Window when you are set to Steel Path mode.
As you play in any Steel Path mission, Acolytes will spawn and attack - defeating the Acolyte grants a guaranteed drop of 2 Steel Essence. Beware! If you get downed by an Acolyte, they’ll escape and you won’t receive any Steel Essence!
- *The Steel Path Acolytes now have the same Status treatment that Liches received earlier this year.
- *Reduced the Melee attack damage on both Misery and Malice to avoid the more reported 1HKOs.
In essence (ha), there is virtually no RNG with Steel Essence anymore. Daily Incursions guarantee 3 per Alert, and Acolytes will always appear in regular missions (Endlessly in Endless missions.). The time at which they choose to appear may be a bit random, but if you kill mobs, they will come!
- Please note, Acolytes won't spawn in Archwing missions on the Steel Path.
Teshin’s Steel Path Honors will now have a Weekly item for you to purchase! There are 8 items total, meaning that every 8 weeks the store will reset and allow you purchase anew. Look forward to things like an Umbra Forma Blueprint, Shotgun Riven Mod, and more!

New Passive: The Design Council suggested ‘Dragon’s Flight’ - a Passive that allows Chroma to perform an additional jump / bullet jump while sprouting his Dragon Wings to give him that extra aerial dominance!

Khora

There is now a minimal Line of Sight check on Whipclaw’s radial damage.

Nekros:

Soul Punch: Instantly kills targets below 25% Health, and turns them into an extra clone shadow (or heals existing if at max).
*Nekros’ Soul Punch now has a new mechanic: Marked for Harvest. Enemies that are hit by Soul Punch but don’t die have a Duration wherein they’ll be eligible to become a Shadow if killed while Marked!

Nidus:

Larva: Enemies killed while held have a chance of generating a Mutation stack for Nidus.

Zephyr:

Air Burst: Damage increases per target hit. Targets with <30% Health become open to Parazon finishers.
*Air Burst now deals 35% Additional Damage per enemy hit either with the projectile OR the explosion damage.
*Air Burst now has a 50% chance to deal a Physical Status effect for those hit by this slice of air. It will heavily skew towards Slash!
Tornado: Slightly better at holding enemies. Tap creates stationary tornadoes, hold creates wandering ones.

NEW ORBITER UPGRADE:

Those Dry Docks have been put to good use, Tenno! With Deimos Arcana, the Orbiter has received a bit of a facelift, as well as a fresh new sheet of glass! The Mod, Relic, and Umbilical Consoles have been given some new animations, a fresh coat of paint, and general appearance improvements. If you own a Railjack, we highly suggest you look up!

DOJO ADDITIONS, CHANGES & FIXES:

Additions:

New Infested Chamber!

A huge breathing and pulsing chamber perfect for building the Infested realm of your dreams.

New Infested Decorations!

Was your Dojo missing a ‘Infested Very Large Cyst Popped’? Perhaps a ‘Infested Glowing Bollard’? Well you’re in luck! Even MORE Infested Decorations have been added for your Dojo!

New Entrati Dojo Decorations!

Choose from a slew of Entrati Decorations: from Broken Clock pieces, to Void Mirror Fragments and everything in between!

*Both the new Infested and Entrati Decorations have reduced Resource costs (by 25% of how we’d normally price) that is in part of a larger Dojo QoL Update coming soon!

Changes:

You can now rename each Dojo room in the ‘Room Options’ Menu!
Renamed Dojo item research button text to “Start Research” instead of “Start Project” for clarity.
Renamed Clan Research "DEPENDENCIES" sort and Room Selection to "PREREQUISITES" to match the side crafting panel for accuracy.
Clicking on a Clan Research Prerequisite will now select that Research, where you can then start researching it immediately.
Dojo Bell decoration sounds can now be changed by the “Sound Effects Volume” slider in your Options.
Added the ability to rename Transporter after placing them in your Clan Dojo.
Disabled Warframe Passives when entering Dojo Obstacle Courses and disabled the several seconds of invulnerability when starting the course.
- We spoke to Dojo Designers in the community and got their feedback on obstacle courses. These changes come from their point that both of the above give players an unfair advantage. Zephyr’s passive comes to mind. The temporary invulnerability at the start of the course was mirrored from regular missions, but was being used to bypass some traps. Overall, these changes allow Dojo Course designers to really challenge those who attempt their creations and do so fairly.

Fixes:

Fixed Dojo Decorations with names about 38 characters long getting cut off by the edge of the screen.
Fixed being unable to shrink several Dojo Decorations after you’ve scaled them up (Natural Vallis Falls for example).
Fixed large Decorations in constricted movement mode in the Dojo not moving when attempting to do so if it is out of the player’s FOV.
Fixed an issue with the damage/fail triggers of Trap Dojo obstacle course decorations not scaling when size was changed.
Fixed PH appearing next to the “Reset Rotation” option when rotating a Dojo Decoration.
Fixed the Tributa Statue Dojo decoration’s light defaulting to white when you attempt to move it.
Fixed all Sawgaw Floof variants appearing the same in the Dojo.

NEW COMMUNITY NEWS TAB:

You may notice a new addition to the news console in your freshly updated Orbiter! Now Community news has its own tab and will list everything happening within the Warframe community, such as livestreams, contests, charity drives, or important community news!

SOUND ADDITIONS & CHANGES:

NEW Advanced Reverb:

Advanced Reverb is here in what we are calling its 'Beta' launch! This is an entirely new reverb system that uses a Convolution (Impulse Response) method. What this means is that instead of using an algorithmic (Legacy) reverb for the game, we are able to use real-life spaces instead. We can feed the reverb system a recording of a real reverberant space and it will combine it with the game's sounds. So you will get a more realistic, vibrant, and deep listening experience. We've been busy adjusting the reverb setups across all tiles. So you can now experience this change across the entire game!

We also adjusted how the blending of the reverb works. When you traverse from different areas we need to blend the reverbs (think of a small space to a larger one). We used to do this based on your distance but now we calculate this based on time. This will give you a more accurate feeling of transition.

‘Advanced Reverb’ is turned on by default, you can switch back to ‘Legacy Reverb’ in the Audio Options if you desire.

General Audio Additions and Changes:

Added two brand new music pieces in Deimos! Time to start choreographing your Infestation hacking and slashing.
Added separate control in Audio Options for YOUR Mandachord volume.
- Players have asked for this for a while and now you can control your own Mandachord volume in the game instead of having to adjust the main Sound Effects audio slider. This also includes Subsumed Octavia Resonator.
Music in all cinematics now respects the Music volume slider in Audio Options.
Dojo music levels are now adjustable using the “Music Volume” slider under the Audio options.
All of the Helminth ability sounds have been updated with new custom FX!
- When the Helminth was released we used existing sound FX in the game as placeholders. Now, Helminth abilities (such as Empower, Master’s Summons, etc.) have their own unique sound to make them stand out from the rest!
There is now a ‘Nora Night’ audio slider in your Options that you can use to Mute Nora’s in-game transmissions.

OPERATOR AMP CHANGES:

Reduced the self stagger range of the Shraksun Scaffold, Granmu Prism, Exard Scaffold, Dissic Scaffold and Propa Scaffold.
Phahd projectile now explodes on every bounce.
Reduced Phahd explosion damage from 3100 to 1100.

GENERAL ADDITIONS:

Added a new UI popup when providing Fish/Gems/etc. for Standing to indicate how much you’ve gained from your kind gestures.
Added a “MAX” label when contributing Entrati Tokens and you’ve hit the Daily Standing cap or maxed out Entrati Standing.

Added Demolyst and Arbitration Drone kill medals in the End of Mission screen.
Added the Machete Blueprint to Simaris’ Offerings.
Added “Recommended” label to the in-game Market.
Added “Syndicate” button to ‘donation’ screens in Cetus, Fortuna, and Necralisk so that you can quickly jump to the Syndicate screen.
- Selecting “exit” in the Syndicate screen after using this button will take you back to the donation screen. So you can now go back and forth to see your progress and rank up if you meet the requirements at the click of a button!
Added a ‘ONE TIME PURCHASE’ label on items that you can only buy once per week (ie Palladino Riven Sliver).
Added ground dust FX to all Arc Gun fire.
Added slightly tweaked Transference FX for both Warframe and Necramech.
Added new animations and sounds to the Carcinus Speargun Skin. We apologise for shipping this Skin without it’s intended animations, which made the Skin appear static. New animations and sounds include:
- The Speargun will be collapsed when viewed in the Arsenal, and then expand when changing its colors to provide a more accurate depiction of what it will look like expanded.
- The Speargun will now collase when holstered and expand when equipping. Additionally the equip sound has changed from the default sound.
- The gun tip of the Speargun will now animate upon equipping.
- The circular clips on the gun tip will animate upon firing and when doing a charged shot.
- Reloading now animates the gun tip with included FX. Additionally the reload sound has changed from the default ‘whoosh’.

Moved "Mutalist Alad V Assassinate node" away from Akkad to prevent mis-clicks.
Reduced repetitive Helminth animations when interacting with it.
Improved performance when playing with Banshee.
The Carcinus Speargun Skin now animates and has special behaviours!
Reduced the self-stagger range on the Sonicor

- Added a “Visit Maroo” button to travel to Maroo’s Bazaar.
- Made several adjustments to certain Ayatan Sculpture and Star dioramas so that they are easier to see.
Gave Atlas a little more height on his backflip in his animation idles.You’d think he wouldn’t need it because he has no neck, but it needed to be done.
Changed items listed in the in-game Market packs from ALL CAPS to Title Case. Also, replaced “ITEM (OWNED)” with the ‘owned’ icon.
Changed all vendors’ names in Fortuna and Cetus from ALL CAPS to Title Case.
Updated Arcane Pulse’s description to include the heal amount and radius.
Changed the Buzlok’s projectile launch to appear slightly below the scope when aiming.
Your chosen Energy color will now apply to part of the FX when you revive yourself.

GENERAL BUG REPORT MEGATHREAD: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1236078-deimos-arcana-bug-report-megathread-read-first-post/

Kitgun + Weapon + Arcanes

Necramech + Bounties

Warframe Changes + Augments

The Steel Path + Acolytes

Public Test Weekend #3 Notes:

Kitgun + Weapon + Arcane Changes:

Generally speaking, the major focus this week was split between Weapon tweaks and major Arcane buffs to give another chance at usability. The Arcane readability, numbers, and more have been significantly reviewed and changed for Deimos: Arcana!

Weapon changes:

Bubonico

- Increased accuracy of primary fire

- Increased speed of ammo regen delay from .9 to .5 secs

- Increased ammo regen rate from 6.75 to 16.875

- Increased status chance of alt fire from 53% to 57%

- Decreased primary fire rate from 4.16 to 3.83

Sporothrix

- Increased damage from 363 to 371

- Reduced embed time from 3 to .9 secs

- Increased flight speed from 190 to 270

Proboscis Cernos

Arum Spinosa

- Increased spine damage from 60 to 70

- Increased spine flight speed from 33 to 49

- Increased accuracy of spine throw

Arcanes: Theorem and Residual

The Theorem and Residual Arcanes were the most contested items on the Test Cluster over the weekend. We have made a concerted effort to reset how they work in context (mainly where the AoE spawns) and rebalance. The next steps for us are receiving feedback on the newer flow and newer stats for these upon release!

Notable changes include:

Residual Arcanes will now leave their AoE at the position of the enemy at the time of death. You will see a ring on the ground (with upgraded FX) that you can enter to begin your Residual/Theorem buffing process. This means you will not need to search for corpses that may have been blown off in the distance -- instead, you should have an easier and faster means of finding these AOE rings.
Significantly increased the active Duration of your stacks after leaving the AoE (from 5 to 20 seconds).
Theorem Arcanes now go up to 5 Ranks with Stats to reflect this.

THEOREM INFECTION

Before: Standing in a zone created by a Residual Arcane increases damage of companions and summoned allies within 60m by 4%/s stacking up to 15x. Effect persists for 20s upon leaving the zone.

After: Standing in a zone created by a Residual Arcane increases damage of companions and summoned allies within 90m by 24%/s stacking up to 15x. Effect persists for 20s upon leaving the zone.

THEOREM CONTAGION

Before: Standing in a zone created by a Residual Arcane creates a globe that orbits the player every 2s. The globes will strike the nearest enemy within 5m dealing 100 damage and applying a Status Effect. Globes will persist for 8s upon leaving the zone.

After: Standing in a zone created by a Residual Arcane creates a globe that orbits the player every 2s. The globes will strike the nearest enemy within 15m dealing 150 damage and increasing their vulnerability to the globe’s damage type by 200% for 6s. Globes will persist for 30s upon leaving the zone.

THEOREM DEMULCENT

Before: Standing in a zone created by a Residual Arcane increases weapon damage by 4%/s stacking up to 15x. Effect persists for 5s upon leaving the zone.

After: Standing in a zone created by a Residual Arcane increases weapon damage by 12%/s stacking up to 15x. Effect persists for 20s upon leaving the zone.

OTHER ARCANE CHANGES:

Theorem Infection increased from +90% to +360% Companion damage at max rank and stacks
Residual Boils spawns cysts on the ground inside the trigger instead of on the enemy corpse.
Residual Shock now fires Lighting from a spike instead of the enemy corpse.

Warframe Abilities and Augment Changes:

We focused on the most consistently critiqued Warframes for this week, with some explanations on what’s to come (outside of this week). Generally speaking, we felt Zephyr needed the most attention, and while people appreciated aspects of Atlas and Nekros, there was more work to be done on their kits as well.

Chroma:

In addition to Chroma being able to select elements in mission real-time (the biggest change), Chroma’s selectable element HUD now uses colour coding in addition to icon coding.
Increased Spectral Scream damage from 200 to 400 Damage Per Second at Max Rank. This, combined with 100% Status Chance and Chaining should lead to some more deadly or useful scenarios, especially since you can use all 4 elements now!

Nekros:

Nekros’ Soul Punch now has a new mechanic: Marked for Harvest. Enemies that are hit by Soul Punch but don’t die have a Duration wherein they’ll be eligible to become a Shadow if killed while Marked!
This is in addition to the 25% lethality change and Shadow healing.

Zephyr:

The focus for this week was all about Airburst. Making the explosion valid for damage scaling changes the stakes when hitting groups with this ability which was a detail a few feedback posts requested or tried to make sense of.

Airburst now deals 35% Additional Damage per enemy hit either with the projectile OR the explosion damage.
Airbust now has a 50% chance of dealing a Physical status effect hit by this slice of air or it’s explosion radius, heavily skewing towards Slash.

Atlas:

Overall, we still intend to look more at Atlas’s Tectonics, but due to some AI complications and ‘gotchas’, we had to reset a timeline to revisit this with a future batch of abilities. For now, those who saw a slight utility boost in the AOE Damage / Stagger we added to Tectonics’ Bulwarks will benefit from what was observed on the Public Test Cluster.

Garuda Bleeding Talons Augment:

Generally speaking the action we felt necessary to take for launch surrounded Garuda’s Augment. All other augments performed as expected either in general or within their niches, there was consistent feedback about Garuda’s having a ‘feel’ issue.

We have trimmed the animation time if released early and increased the range up to 9 meters for this Augment!

Steel Path + Acolyte Changes

In addition to written feedback and the poll results, we did a full statistical review of the amount of Steel Essence earned this weekend on both Test and Live, and we are moving forward with the values provided on the Test Cluster: 3 per Steel Essence Incursion Alert, and 2 per Acolyte (eligible for Resource Amount Boosting).

We settled on these values because of what happens when they're broken down by different acquisition methods: people gain Steel Essence at better rates when playing normally (i.e no AFK Macro detected)! In practice, the actual dependency on RNG and Eximus spawning is gone. You will have a stable, matchmaking friendly way to reliably earn Steel Essence in shorter intervals across more content.

In our view, it’s better to reward broader diverse play than hyper reward idle strategies, and the stats confirm this to be the case. On paper the absolute Top 1% of missions will see less Steel Essence per hour (i.e the single strategy AFK-Macro-run), every other mission strategy will see more.

The Steel Path Acolytes now have received the same Status Effect eligibility treatment that Liches received in Update 27.3 earlier this year. This means we have slightly increased their health (scaled by squad size) as the Status Effect eligibility makes them easier to kill.

Reduced the Melee attack damage on both Misery and Malice to avoid the more reported 1HKOs
Created more regular spawn windows for Acolytes and fixed issues with them not spawning after 30 minute missions. They are guaranteed in each mission, and endlessly guaranteed in Endless missions!

Bounty Changes:

Pacing and bugs for the new bounty types have been reviewed, with some specifics to call out:

Codename: Polyp Juggernaut Bounty:

Decreased frequency of random Juggernaut sniffing by over 50% to improve pacing.
The Juggernaut moves faster.
Increased the likeliness of a ‘truffle’ being closer to improve pacing
General pacing improvements.
Enemies now spawn on your Polyp Juggernaut’s position, making battle phase more engaging

Codename: Purifier Bounty:

Purify Cell Carrier spawn rates increased to improve pacing.

Codename: Fluid Sac Encounter:

Reduced ranged enemy presence, increased enemy density and reduced delay between reinforcements. Increase sac explosion radius from 10 to 13 meters.

Bonewidow Necramech Changes:

General Necramech Changes

Necramechs (Bonewidow and Voidrig) now have a built in vacuum!
Enemy Necramechs now have the ‘Lich’ treatment with vulnerability to Status Effects!
Increased Shared Affinity Range in Landscape missions to 250 meters from 50 to assist with all things levelling on Landscapes (when Necramechs in non-Landscape missions come, this will of course change the levelling dynamic).

Bonewidow Changes

The Bonewidow was flagged as the item needing the most review, and we took a look at each Ability and made changes to its power, energy economy, and scalability.

Meathook

Made the Meathook ability more responsive for targeting based on camera direction.
Added a damage buff to melee attacks while holding an enemy on Meathook.
Meathook now only costs energy on successful hit. It no longer costs energy to throw an enemy that is already held.

Shield Maiden

Added ‘Ironskin’ style scaling to Shield Maiden, meaning all incoming damage right after the cast period scales the health of the Shield Maiden.
Made the angle of Shield Maiden’s blocking angle more sensible for the front area of the Necramech.
Blocking with both Ironbride and Shield Maiden will increase blocking angle.

Firing Line

Energy cost reduced from 75 to 50

Exalted Ironbride

Increased the damage overall for Exalted Ironbride since its attack speed is slower by design.
Less energy is now required to sustain Exalted Ironbride.
Slam attacks are better performing and more intuitive.

Not listed are the dozens and dozens of fixes included for launch on the more specific bugs and issues! A huge thanks goes out to the participants on the Public Test Cluster for giving us so much to work with. We spent the week with our heads down banging out as many meaningful changes that aligned with both the feedback received and our development goals. As is the way, things will still receive iteration and changes once our community-at-large is involved on PC and Consoles!

Increased resolution of Teshin's textures (because you know he's handsome).
Improved the look of sprinting in Archwing missions with your Arch-melee weapon equipped to showcase more body movement instead of being rather static.

The Great Ensmallening Part 2 - Texture Remaster!

While part one of our first update touched our Lightmap compression, Part 2 brings us to the rest of Warframe’s TEXTURES! This update is a 10.6GB patch to free up 8GB of HDD space.

But wait, there’s more! As a bonus to touching every texture in Warframe, we used this opportunity to ask ourselves “is there anything else we can do to improve textures since we are going through all the work of touching them for compression anyways?” The answer: Yes! In short, we have also made improvements to how detailed the game looks overall. Take a look for yourself (download them and go back and forth for best effect)!

Great Ensmallening Part 2 Bug Report Megathread:

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1234178-great-ensmallening-part-2-bug-report-megathread/

Baurahn Prime Ephemera Changes & Fixes:

We were originally a little conservative with the Baurahn Prime Ephemera as to not visually overwhelm. Based on your feedback post launch we’ve made a few changes:

Aggressively reduced required idle times for the dragons to trigger.
Enabled Energy colouring for the dragons metal textures.
- Previously the metal parts of the dragons were locked as gold. Now it takes the primary Energy colour, and if you have the secondary unlocked, the Energy element of the dragons will favour that - so you can colour the metal with the primary and the Energy with the secondary.
Increased scale of the smaller dragons.
Fixed the Baurahn Prime Ephemera FX playing when in Navigation view, which can be visually overwhelming.

Vitrica Changes & Fixes:

Added the Vitrica Blueprint to Simaris’ Offerings, which can be purchased once the Glassmaker boss has been completed.
We noticed that players were not aware of the Vitrica shockwave feature created on slams, so we improved the FX to make it more visible and updated the description to communicate its existence, have fun!
- The sword the fabled Orokin executioner Nihil used to glass the condemned. Swing while Aim Gliding to glass enemies. A Ground Slam will smash nearby glassed foes, while sending forward a narrow shockwave to shatter distant ones. A Heavy Slam sends forth a wider shockwave with greater force.
Removed the Vitrica from Conclave - it sneaked in!
Improvements towards the Vitrica slam shockwave FX.
Fixed Vitrica and Vitrica’s glass detonation ignoring Limbo’s Rift mechanics.

Changes:

Added an additional 30 Nightwave Prestige Ranks (150 max).
- Our last Nightwave Prestige Rank increase proved to not be enough for those whose retroactive amount put them at the new max. More Ranks for more Crystal Cred!
Disabled True Master Fonts (Relay Blessing) applying to conclave gameplay, as it provides an unfair advantage.

Fixes:

Fixed Zenistar disc not expiring when in Titania’s Razorwing mode.
Fixed Phobos Junction Mag Specter having double the intended Health and Shields.
Fixed cases of inability to advance Dojo Research. As reported here!
Fixed inability to use Navigation after accessing Railjack via the Pause Menu while in Navigation.
Fixed Syndicate screens not displaying Standing amount remaining.
Fixed Elemental FX being misaligned on the Guandao Prime.
Fixed the weapon switch FX appearing overly bright for the Guandao Prime.
Fixed a rare case of the ‘Hey Kiddo!’ playing each and every time you return to your Orbiter. As reported here!
Fixed some Entrati Token icons appearing washed out in the UI.
Fixed Stahltha Alt Fire sounds playing locally for all squadmates.
Fixed Email not being hidden if you use Logout via Pause Menu while having Creator Mode enabled.
Fixed a script error that would prevent Void Fissure gameplay logic from continuing after a Host migration occurs.
Fixed a script error that could occur during a True Master’s Font Blessing.
Fixed a script error when Kela De Thaym deploys an Orbital Strike attack.
Fixed a script error when attempting to rescue a Solaris target in Orb Vallis.
Fixed a script error that could occur when casting Warframe abilities that are overridden by Helminth that could result in inconsistent results across multiple players.

Hotfix 29.3.0.1

Changes:

October 2020 Riven Dispositions are now live for real! Sorry for the confusion! https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1231554-october-2020-riven-disposition-update-preview/
Increased accuracy and reduced recoil of the Primary Catchmoon Kitgun when used with Tremor and Steadyslam Grips.
- This change was planned for the upcoming Infested Kitguns but needed to squeak in early for the Riven Disposition changes!

Fixes:

Fixed losing ability casting and weapon functionality when casting Gauss’ Thermal Sunder ability.
Fixed Equinox’s Duality Specter not using your Secondary weapon if you don’t have a Primary weapon in your loadout.
Fixed Prex Decorations having a large red box around it when selected instead of just the outline.
Fixed a script error when being hit by a glass shard in the Nightwave boss fight.

Optimizations

Optimized terrain rendering.

Some fun facts: Terrain rendering optimization reduced cost ~30% (Deimos) ~50% (Plains of Eidolon) by grouping triplanar layers together per triplane and sharing texture gradients.

Optimized initial download size by ~100MB.
Optimized geometry on the Cambion Drift to improve framerate.
Optimized rendering slightly when Bloom is disabled.
Improved detection of run-time errors in the script system.
Made systemic micro-optimizations to all code on Windows and Xbox One.
Made a micro-optimization to splash effects on the water surface.
Made systemic micro-optimizations to the memory allocator.
Made a micro-optimization to the physics system.
Made a micro-optimization to the effects system.
Made a micro-optimization to the script runtime.
Fixed CPU times increasing significantly when frequently switching between controller and keyboard.

Changes:

Updated Mastery Rank icons to new Vitruvian design!

Increased the Nightwave Prestige Rank cap by 30 Ranks! This will retroactively place you to the accurate Rank you’ve earned thus far! We know some Tenno have already reached the current Prestige Rank cap. Increasing it allows those Tenno to gain Crystal Cred for the remainder of Nightwave Series 3.
Entrati member names will no longer appear when Creator Mode is enabled.
The End of Mission ‘Important’ filter will now place Alert rewards at the top of the list.
Clarified Daily Standing Bar value by adding the word ‘Remaining’ to indicate as such.
Adjusted the Night Hunter Syandana wing spread idle animation slightly based on TennoGen creator feedback.
Removed Latrox Une from the Simulacrum (because shooting your friends is mean).

Fixes:

Fixed a crash that could occur if you lose connection to a Host shortly after connecting to a new mission.
Fixed a rare crash that could occur with certain weapons with extreme Mod configurations.
Fixed a crash in the Simulacrum while firing a Convectrix that had max ranked Tainted Shell and Narrow Barrel Mods equipped.
Fixed a loss of functionality if you open the Pause Menu with the controller and Fast Travel to a vendor while a Profit-Taker Heist Bounty is counting down.
Pausing during the countdown is no longer possible.
Fixed aggressive spot load when hovering over Quest-locked nodes in the Star Chart.
Fixed the Latrox Une “Sample Collection” Bounty phase taking longer than intended to complete due to the samples not dropping in their entirety. We found that 20% of the time a sample was meant to drop, it wouldn't.
Fixed Trinity’s Blessing fully restoring Health/Shields of mission objectives.
Per Healing Defendable Targets Dev Workshop: it should "Restore 500 Health over 5 seconds".
Fixed Mirage’s Total Eclipse Augment Mod buff being shared with Necramechs.
Fixed the Split Flight buff not resetting if the buff expires when in Titania’s Razorwing.
Fixed Umbra’s sentience not functioning after Transferring into a Necramech. Fixed inability to close the End of Mission screen after failing a Sortie Defense mission and waiting to close the EOM screen until you were back in the Orbiter.
Fixed some spawning range issues with Deimos Jugulus’ due to frequently spawning very close to each other. This could cause other enemies to not spawn as frequent due to the amount of Jugulus’ present.
Fixed snow-weather data (Orb Vallis) overwriting the rain-weather data that was intended for Plains of Eidolon, which was causing way more frequent precipitation than desired.
Fixed Syndicate Standing earned in (Elite) Sanctuary Onslaught not being displayed on the Mission Progress screen.
Fixed the UI not displaying ‘1’ when you have just a single Entrati Token.

Hotfix 29.2.4

October 15th, 2020 Forum Post - Nights of Naberus

Nights of Naberus

Nights of Naberus have arrived!

The ancient festival of death and mischief has begun on all platforms!

On Naberus, beauty is banished. Rot and monstrosity hold sway. And Daughter couldn’t be more excited!

To get everyone in the Naberus spirit, she’ll be dressing up in Morbid costume and offering exclusive, limited-time rewards available for purchase through her special Naberus-themed store in the Necralisk.

Listen to a gruesome tale narrated by Grandmother in the comfort of your Orbiter with a creepy Naberus-themed decoration, or enjoy an assortment of Glyphs, Emblems, Skins and Blueprints - all available for purchase using Mother Tokens.

Optimizations:

Made a micro-optimization to the Health and Shield display on the HUD.
Made systemic micro-optimizations to game-code using scripts.
Made systemic micro-optimizations to physics sweep queries.
Made a micro-optimization to animation inverse kinematics.
Made systemic micro-optimizations to the script runtime.
Made a micro-optimization to the perception system.
Made a micro-optimization to the damage system.
Made a micro-optimization to the effects system.
Made some micro-optimizations to level loading.
Made a micro-optimization to the sound system.
Made a micro-optimization to the script system.
Made a micro-optimization to text localization.
Made a micro-optimization to flash rendering.
Made a micro-optimization to UI rendering.
Made a micro-optimization to loading.
Optimized a small memory leak that would occur in certain Railjack missions.
Fixed a tiny memory leak that would occur when killing Jen Dro in The Index; while inconsequential for regular play this leak showed up in an automated stress-test that pits Brokers vs Executioners for hours at a time.

Changes:

Reduced Isolation Vault Bounty Toxicity phase from 3 minutes to 1:30 minutes.

An early change meant for Update Deimos: Arcana that was low risk to add now! Feedback alluded to this phase not offering much variety within the Bounty - so we’ve shortened it to get you to the meat of the Bounty quicker!

The Helminth Subsume confirmation prompt will now show the Forma count on the respective Warframe.
Increased default analog stick deadzones values to 20%. The value was previously 15% only for look/aim inputs, but then was changed to 15% for all analog stick inputs, but this introduced some drift for certain players.

Fixes:

Fixed a functionality loss when Upgrading the Railjack Grid then going back while looking at the tooltip.
Fixed Mirage’s Eclipse ability not functioning properly with Deferred Rendering enabled. As detailed here!
- A sharp-eyed Tenno noticed a change with Eclipse's damage bonus using our new Enhanced Graphics engine setting, and it turns out Mirage had us all under an illusion. Eclipse changes its effect intensity based on how bright (or dark) your current location is. The game calculates the brightness by considering all the light sources that are affecting you. The problem... Under the Enhanced Graphics engine, lighting is handled in a different way than the Classic way we've been using for years. So while playing Landscape missions the sunlight was not being included in the intensity. What looked like bright open ground lit by the sun was, as far as the game is concerned internally, gloomy and overcast. This will be fixed such that the Eclipse ability will consider the real-time sunlight under the Enhanced renderer. We cannot guarantee that the results will be exactly the same using the two equations, but any difference should be negligible.
Fixed Tusk Heavy Gunners doing unintended extreme amounts of damage.
Fixed Obelisk Requiem icons sometimes not being visible for Clients.
Fixed cases of Excavators that could spawn inside Cambion Drift terrain.
Fixed Force Feedback issues when firing the Mausolon.
Fixed the Cryptosuctus Fish having a hole in it.
Fixed Vulpaphyla name appearing as [PH] Chrysalis upon devolving into a larva state.
Fixed unlocalized system error messages sometimes being shown in the UI when experiencing network problems
Fixed texture streaming on placed Glyphs being missing unless you get close.
Fixed a problem with the Dynamic Resolution system.
Fixed Chat repeatedly opening and closing if you slowly press down on the left trigger of a controller.

Hotfix 29.2.3

October 8th, 2020 Forum Post

Optimizations

Optimized initial install size slightly (~half a GB).
- This was Hotdropped yesterday!

Changes:

Added a game setting to use the legacy deadzone remapping when controlling look/aim input using the controller analog sticks.
Changed the deadzone settings to go up and down by 1 instead of 5 when pressing the arrows.

Fixes:

Fixed inability to matchmake together when loading from a Town/Relay to a Free Roam mission.
Fixed a crash if a Host migration occurred during a Cambion Drift Excavation Bounty.
Fixed the Subsumed Rest & Rage ability description stating its effect is dependent on Energy color rather than Emissive Color.
Fixes towards some lighting issues on Operator hair textures.
- Work in progress!
Fixed the Telos Syandana being misaligned on Octavia.
Fixed the VOIP UI indicator appearing as a white square.
Fixed numerous script errors during Cambion Drift Excavation Bounties.
Fixed script errors when Corrupted Vor spawns in the Void.

Enhanced Graphics Engine

Last week we included a ‘Missed Change Note’ that the ‘Deferred Rendering’ Display Option was renamed to ‘Graphics Engine’. While this is true at a base level, it’s actually more exciting than that, as it involves moving into “Next Gen’ by phasing out our old rendering engine!

Please read the full details here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1229889-the-enhanced-graphics-engine/

Optimizations

Made numerous micro-optimizations to scene rendering.
Optimized Local Reflections.
Optimized Foliage Rendering in the Enhanced Graphics Engine.
Optimized Visibility Culling speed and memory footprint slightly.
Optimized initial install size slightly.
Made systemic micro-optimizations to the animation system.
Made a micro-optimization to the Foot IK system.
Made a micro-optimization to HUD rendering.
Minor quality improvements for hair rendering.

Changes:

Added game settings for tweaking deadzone values and other input behaviour for controller analog sticks. Each analog stick now has 3 settings as outlined on https://www.warframe.com/gamepad. This should improve the accuracy for movement controls in particular, which previously used a square deadzone, resulting in inconsistent mapping for diagonal inputs.
Removed ability to open the Helminth screen by fast-traveling using Operator mode, this led to issues with your Warframe becoming invisible.
Updated Ivara's Quiver, Vauban's Minelayer, Xaku's The Lost, and Titania's Tribute ability descriptions to list the sub-abilities and a brief general description of what they do. Tips related to these sub-abilities for each Warframe have also been edited for accuracy as a result.
Updated Zephyr’s Airburst ability description to include the tap-and-hold mechanic.

Helminth Fixes

Fixed enemies becoming permanently ragdolled after casting Nezha’s Divine Spears into a Larva via Helminth Subsumed ability.
Fixed Helminth Infused ability functionality issues when casting Wisp’s Sol Gate.
Fixed missing UI indication on Quiver Cloak Arrow's duration remaining via Helminth Subsumed.
Fixed Nidus’ abilities HUD having greyed out icons for Helminth Infused abilities.

Fixes:

Fixed the Warframe launcher breaking uninstall when using standalone-installer.
Fixed inability to Swap a Polarization.
- This was Hotdropped live last week!
More fixes towards a crash that could occur in a Survival mission when choosing to return to the Orbiter.
Fixed Isolation Vault Bounty Bait and objective markers remaining after the Bounty is abandoned.
Fixed cases of the Upgrade screen showing negative stats after applying Forma to a weapon.
- We found this isn't super useful and forces you to exit the Upgrades screen if you want it to show the actual effects of the Mods installed afterwards.
Fixed Profile ‘Kills’ and ‘Time Played’ Stats being influenced by the Simulacrum.
- Simulacrum is a testing ground!
Fixed left trigger no longer opening Chat with controller after you save controller bindings once. As reported here!
Fixed the Infested Salvage End of Mission Reward screen UI stating 50 Endo instead of 300 Endo.
- This is a visual issue only, the correct amount of Endo was awarded.
Fixed missing Blueprint locations for the Zymos and Keratinos when viewing in the Market.
Fixed the Daedalus Leg Armour appearing small when equipped on the Hydroid Rakkam Skin.
Fixed sometimes facing the wrong direction when loading into the Simulacrum Arsenal.
Fixed cases of Simaris appearing white instead of orange when entering Sanctuary Onslaught.
Fixed Quatz reload and Plinx charge reload audio issues when a Skin is equipped.
Fixed Oscira Sugatra offset on numerous Melee weapons.
Fixed collision issues with the Oscira Thrown Blade Skin when exiting the Simulacrum Arsenal.
Fixed Gauss Graxx Helmet flames always being orange instead of reacting to the chosen Energy Color as the rest of the Redline ability does.
Fixes towards cloth collision on the Mirage Kitsune Helmet.
Fixed Dendrite Gunblade Skin using the wrong Sugatra attachment point.
Fixed missing doorframe in the Grineer Shipyards tileset.
Fixed a script error when reaching a new Mastery Rank.
Fixed a script error when a Kubrow Pet uses Stalk.
Fixed a script error when a Vasca Kavat uses Draining Bite.
Fixed a script error when a Kavat uses Cat’s Eye.

Ember Prime, Frost Prime, Latron Prime, Reaper Prime, Sicarus Prime, and Glaive Prime Relics have been added back to the droptables!

Visit https://www.warframe.com/prime-vault to check out the Prime Vault Offerings!

Note: As some of you have noticed, our Prime Vault rotation this round has gone on a little long. We had to put a lot of work into making Deimos a simultaneous release during COVID times, and that meant we had to divert focus and people away from some other items. Prime Vault was one of those items.

This means the next Prime Vault offering is a tried and true debut of Ember and Frost Prime (full details to come tomorrow). It also means that we are now in a position to make the Vault following Ember and Frost Prime offer new-to-Vault contents because we recognize how important this is.

Thank you for understanding!

Marked For Death Changes

(Original Dev Workshop can be found here:

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1227741-marked-for-death-where-we%E2%80%99ve-been-and-changes-to-come/?tab=comments#comment-11868546 )

We are changing Marked for Death to start its base Damage at 75%, which will cap at 150% with Mods. Since the ‘Damage Type In = Damage Type Out’, this will scale well with certain Damage types, specifically ones with DOTS which is what we envision.

Simply put: We’re bringing the damage back up!

Helminth Railjack Resources and Bile Changes

(Original Dev Workshop can be found here:

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1227534-helminth-railjack-resources-bile-changes/?tab=comments#comment-11866782 )

Asterite	5,000	1,500	30.00%
Aucrux Capacitors	25	10	40.00%
Bracoid	1,000	200	20.00%

Additionally, anyone with Helminth installed and Railjack owned will receive an Inbox of Resources after the Hotfix goes live that includes the reduced costs. A perfect script is not possible, but a generous grab bag is! If you meet the criteria, you will receive the Resources via Inbox after the Hotfix date. We’ll let you know in this thread once the Inbox script has completed - stay tuned!

Note that when downloading the update the launcher will do an automatic optimize pass before downloading more (this is necessary to free up space for the new remastered content).

For full in depth details please visit The Great Ensmallening Dev Workshop: [1]

Xaku Changes & Fixes

Keeping within the realm of the “community-created Warframe” project, Xaku has received numerous changes based on your feedback! We welcome your feedback post launch in the official Dev Workshop: [2]

We consider these changes “Round 1” with more to come once players have graciously again provided their feedback!

Xaku’s Passive:

Including AOE damage reduction as part of Xaku’s Passive.
- How it will work: AOE damage will simply take a 25% damage reduction (75% while The Vast Untime is active).
- Currently, Xaku’s Passive provides a chance that incoming projectiles will fail to hit the warframe at all, instead going right through. But does not include any protection from enemy AOE damage. For example, if a Bombard shot a rocket at Xaku, the projectile itself would have a 25% chance to pass through them and deal no damage (75% with The Vast Untime), but the explosion following would have the full effect. With this change, Xaku’s Passive additionally grants them 25% damage reduction on the following AOE explosion from that rocket. That’s increased to 75% when Xaku is running around bare bones!

Xata’s Whisper:

We are making Void damage ‘True Neutral’ by removing the 50% resistance of Void damage on Cloned Flesh and Fossilized enemies - a long desired request for Void damage.
- Currently, Void damage is relatively ineffective against Cloned Flesh and Fossilized enemies which greatly limits the use of Xata’s Whisper on Grineer and Infested enemies. In an effort to give it (and Void damage in general) more utility across enemy categories, we are removing this resistance so that it aligns with its neutral effectiveness against the other enemy types. It is important to note that Eidolons, Amalgams, and certain bosses will still maintain this resistance.

Grasp of Lohk:

Increasing the speed at which enemies are disarmed so that it occurs earlier in the casting animation. Also increasing the casting animation speed overall.
- Currently, the point of when enemies are disarmed once Grasp of Lohk is cast is far too delayed.
Increased Grasp of Lohk’s disarming range from 8m to 15m.
- Not to be confused with firing range, this increase allows a bigger berth for choosing victims to disarm with Grasp of Lohk.
Allowing Grasp of Lohk to be recast.
- How it will work: Any existing Grasp of Lohk weapons will simply be replaced by the new cast up to the maximum amount of targets.
- Currently, once Grasp of Lohk is cast, you are locked with the weapons that were grabbed until the end of the ability’s duration. This is obviously limiting if the ability was cast with undesired effect. To counteract this limitation, we are adding the option to recast with the added benefit of resetting the ability’s duration and disarming a new set of enemies where/when desired.

The Lost: Deny

Adding synergy between Deny and Grasp of Lohk that increases Deny’s damage output.
- How it will work: The number of weapons orbiting Xaku from Grasp of Lohk act as a damage multiplier for Deny’s Void beam. For example: If you have 4 weapons orbiting Xaku, Deny’s damage will be granted a 5x multiplier.
Increasing the casting speed of Deny.
- More firepower… faster!

The Vast Untime:

Removing the Energy drain and keeping it a duration based ability.
- Currently, the Energy drain on top of its casting cost and duration is far too restrictive and punishing.
Adding Synergy between The Vast Untime and all of Xaku’s other abilities.
- How it will work: Emphasis on “Untime”, when Xaku is in their skeletal form their other active abilities’ duration will become frozen in time. Once The Vast Untime expires, the duration of those active abilities resume. This was suggested in our feedback readings and we quite enjoyed the play on the ‘untime’ theme and the added benefit to Xaku overall! We feel that since this no longer has an Energy drain, and that it halts the timer on other abilities, the energy demands of Xaku’s kit will be significantly lessened.
  - Note: This will not apply to Helminth abilities and abilities from other Warframes from Helminth subsuming.

Xaku Fixes:

Fixed Deny having poor hit detection on ragdolled or suspended enemies.
Fixed targets affected by Accuse have inconsistent hit detection based on weapon type (beam, bolt, etc).
Fixed a case of dealing self damage via Xaku’s Whisper.

Marked for Death Changes

Before we jump into the nitty gritty, let’s revisit what the ‘Marked for Death’ Helminth Infusion is: Stun an enemy; a portion of the next damage you deal to it will be dealt to all enemies around it.

It’s important to note that the description mentions ‘a portion of the next damage’, which was always our intent, meaning we have some bugs to fix and explanations to make on the next steps here.

With Marked for Death now in the wild and being experimented with, it was apparent to not be working as intended by overwhelmingly nuking enemies left, right, and center when combined with certain loadouts and due to certain bugs. We recognize the players who brought this forward with understanding that it needs to be addressed. Let’s get into the meat of it:

Fixed Mods applying twice to the Marked for Death Damage portion dealt in the AOE.
Fixed base Damage using the Health/Shield Damage dealt and not capped at the Health+Shield the target had prior (e.g. enemy with 5 Health gets hit by 100 damage, and 100 damage is shared in AOE. It should just be the 5).
- Radial damage was never meant to exceed the target’s Health and this was our bad. The desired strategy we wanted was players prioritizing tank units like Heavy Gunners to do AOE clears since heavy units have more Health than normal, thus the radial AOE would likely be lethal, not just normal units. This issue combined with numerous bugs of Mods stacking meant this was way over powered. A key part of reviewing these changes will be ensuring that players understand the best case scenario we envision for the power is targeting high-Health enemies to do radial damage to weaker enemies.
Removed Critical Chance from Marked for Death radial AOE.
Capped Damage multiplier stat to 75% and normalized Damage type mults.
- Here’s an example of normalized Damage type: if the Damage you deal is 0.5 Impact, 0.4 Slash, 0.3 Heat that sums to 1.2x but after normalizing they become 0.42 Impact, 0.33 Slash, 0.25 Heat.
Fixed Marked for Death with Arcane Trickery equipped triggering invisibility almost every time, because each enemy hit by the AoE has its own 15% chance to activate Arcane Trickery.

Conservation Changes & Fixes

An accumulation of Community and Developer feedback have brought forth a handful of Avichea changes and fixes:
- Avicheas now correctly fly in circles around the spawn call area once they reach it instead of hovering directly above it, sometimes widely out of range.
  - This brings Avicheas in line with other flying animals like the Sawgaw, where they fly closer to the call point and land near it.
- Diversified ambient Avichea encounters so that they can either be encountered flying around an area or low down perched on the ground.
  - Previously ambient Avicheas were only found flying high in the sky, which could easily be missed to the busy eyes.
- Increased the spawn chances of ambient Avichea encounters.
- Improvements towards Avichea animations.
  - This also fixes cases of ambiently spawned Avichea’s 'slowly ascending to the heavens'.
- Fixed Avicheas (and Mergoos) not flying away when gunfire is nearby.
  - Birds do as birds do - Warframe ain’t no different! Being stealthy is key for catching these animals.
- Fixed some Conservation trail start points appearing under the endocrine goo in the Cambion Drift.
- Fixed inability to move, shoot, switch weapons or use Warframe abilities after hitting a dissolving corpse with the Infested Ebisu or Spari Spear whilst fishing.

Please note that the Conservation team has more planned in terms of quality changes and fixes - stay tuned!

Fishing Changes & Fixes

Improved spawn rate of Fish in the Cambion Drift to be closer to past Free Roam behaviour. You should generally have a maximum time between fish of ~15 seconds instead of ~50 seconds.
- We welcome your feedback if even further changes are needed!
Reduced the number of Fish parts required per Daughter Exocrine Assignment from 3 down to 2. This brings Daughters economy in line with Son, where the max number of requested parts is 2.
Fixed some various script errors that sometimes resulted in an inability to catch Fish.
Fixed Cambion Drift Fish spawning in the same spot over and over if you didn’t move.
Fixed throwing your Fishing Spear into Mag's Magnetize can lead to temporary or complete loss of functionality.
Fixed some jittery hands animations that play throughout the Fishing Spear throw+recall sequence.

Necramech Changes & Fixes

Currently there is a 3 minute cooldown on every use of the Necramech Summon Gear item. We’ve changed the cooldown behavior of the Necramech Summon to reflect the following:
- If the player's Necramech is still active, then the Necramech Summon only has a 10 second cooldown. Summoning it this way will move the Necramech to the player's desired position but NOT restore its Health/Shields/Energy.
- If the player's Necramech has been destroyed, then the Necramech Summon has a 3 minute cooldown, and will have its Health/Shields/Energy refilled on summon.
Reduced the Necramech’s Shocking Iron ability sound loop.
Fixed summoned Necramech’s not having their Modded values when summoned again after dying.
- This was an issue before the cooldown changes.

Fixed summoned Client Necramech’s having 0 Energy when summoned again after dying.

- This was an issue before the cooldown changes.
Fixed rare case of a player's Warframe ceasing to exist after Transferring into a Necramech, resulting in an inability to Transference back into your Warframe.
Fixed personal Necramech losing all functionality after Transferring into a fallen Necramech and then summoning your own Necramech.
Fixed ability to interrupt the Necramech ground slam attack with another ground slam attack or normal melee attack.
Fixed Client Necramech’s appearing to run in place after Transferring out of the Necramech with forward momentum.
Fixed the Necramech appearing crushed around an Excalibur when viewed via Look Link or Mod Link.
Fixed the Necramech model clipping/overlapping with the Upgrade screen when accessed in a Hub/Town.
Fixed Necramech UI and regular weapon crosshair overlapping when attempting to access the Gear wheel via controller while in the Necramech.
Fixed Necramech weapon appearing blurry after Transferring into a summoned Necramech before the weapon opening animation finishes.

Sepulcrum Changes & Fixes

Decreased the unguided flight time of the Alt Fire on launch from 0.06s to 0.03secs.
Decreased the unguided flight time of the Alt Fire smoothing from 1s to 0.4secs.
- This makes the Alt Fire projectile start to home in on their targets faster and curve more acutely towards them.
Decreased Alt Fire re-arming delay from 0.2s to 0.01secs.
- This decreases the time between being able to lock onto additional targets after the first.
Increased max lock distance from 60m to 80m.
Increased loose lock distance from 80m to 100m.
- This increases the distance you can lock onto targets with Alt Fire from 60m to 80m, and lock won't be lost unless the targets move beyond 100m.
Fixed cases of the Sepulcrum Alt Fire not properly targeting enemies.

Optimizations

Optimized performance of several user interfaces including the Nightwave and Void Relic Refinement screens.
Optimized download of some parts of Warframe.
Made a large number of small optimizations to the UI system.

Changes:

General polish and cleanup of sounds in the Arsenal to remove unintended sounds.

Helminth Fixes

Fixed a crash when hovering over the Roar ability in the Upgrade screen on a Hildryn which had Balefire replaced by Roar via Helminth.
Fixed a crash that occurred when sitting in the Helminth chair with poor connection quality.
Fixed Infested Mobility buff effects never ending when under Rank 3.
Fixed Infested Mobility not being affected by Strength like the Arsenal stat screen claims.
Fixed Infusing a new ability via the Helminth to Config D, E, or F not showing the ability has been applied until the player loads into a mission.
Fixed Titania's Tribute HUD not working if Razorwing was overwritten via Helminth.
Fixed rare case of the UI showing that you have the exact Secretion % required but won’t let you perform the action. This was due to rounding values in the back end that aren’t visible in the UI.
Fixed missing check mark beside recently earned Helminth Rank until you close and re-open the Helminth interface.

Fixes:

Fixed inability to progress through some Corpus/Grineer Invasion missions due to an inability to enter the portal, and just getting put through a never ending loop that goes nowhere.
Fixed Carnis Set Mods not functioning for both Host or Client players.
Fixed cases where Limbo’s Banish could be cast with 0 Energy.
Fixed the Soma Prime's Hata-Satya Mod not respecting Multishot for Clients.
Fixed ability to apply Status Effects to the Deimos Saxum before Femurs have been broken. Femurs must be destroyed first before Status Effects will affect the Saxum.

Fixed Garuda’s Dread Mirror Damage Capture Multiplier/Projectile Damage not matching ability screen numbers in the Arsenal.
Fixed ability to go under the floor with a combination of Transference and Titania’s Razorwing.
Fixed Garv and his Grineer hooligans not de-spawning after doing a Bounty such as Anomaly Retrieval or Core Samples. This results in multiple Garv’s in the Cambion Drift when doing back to back Bounties.
Fixed issues with the Purify Deimos Bounty, where the 'samples' UI will decrease from 35-15 when a Host migrates. However, the collected amount doesn't reflect this switch and will be greater than the UI limit indicates.
Fixed the Latrox Une ‘upload’ phase skipping if there's a Host migration while collecting samples for Latrox Une.
Fixed the Deimos Claw Skin not applying properly to the Keratinos.
Fixed inability to quickly select the Secondary Emissive and Energy colors when attempting to customize Warframe/Weapon colour Appearance using the controller d-pad.

Fixed inability to spawn Deimos Saxum/Deimos Saxum Rex in the Simulacrum.
Fixed Tokens appearing in End of Mission screen with common items. Should now appear above regular Resources and Mods.
Fixed Khora appearing mangled in the End of Mission screen diorama.
Fixed Loki’s Invisibility ability aggressively color grading your surroundings - very noticeable in the Cambion Drift when your Energy color is neon green (lol).
Fixed towards the Necralisk door opening animation playing when the door is already open.
Fixed Inbox Gift messages not displaying the amount of items Gifted (ie 5 Forma, etc).
Fixed inability to exit the Shawzin with a controller if a key binding is changed since Start then becomes unbound.

Fixed inability to Operator Void Dash after getting nullified by a Necramech during the Isolation Vault Bounty.
Fixed ability to bypass the Plains of Eidolon and Cambion Drift perimeters with a Necramech. This also fixes the ability to summon a Necramech when out of bounds.
Fixed ability to ignore teleport volumes and walk along lake-beds with the Necramech by keeping constant forward momentum in the Plains of Eidolon.
Fixed the Host Necramech UI getting overlapped if a Client squadmate exits their Necramech.
Fixes towards blank ‘Mission Progress’ screen when viewed while in a Necramech.
- Still some issues with going from Warframe > Operator > then to Necramech.

General Weapon Changes

Trumna
- Removed Punch Through on the Trumna Alt Fire projectile.
  - The main feature of the Alt Fire is the radial attack on each bounce, and Punch Through can make it disappear through geometry. Disabling on the projectile only allows Punch Through to be used with the Primary Fire without affecting the Alt Fire.

Quassus
- Increased Heavy Attack projectiles from 35 to 76
  - Also fixed Quassus Heavy Attack projectiles being slowed down to 15% of their original speed after punching through an enemy.
- Reduced horizontal spread of projectiles
  - Quassus throws 12 projectiles with a pretty wide horizontal spread, spreading the Damage across multiple targets. Individual damage was not where we wanted it. Increasing it over 100%, narrowing the spread and making sure it will hit additional targets after passing through, increases its lethality to intended levels.

Zymos
- Decreased projectile spread of Multishot projectiles
- Increased projectile speed from 59 to 79
  - Decreasing spread from Multishot and increasing the projectile speed makes landing headshots with all the projectiles a bit easier.

Helminth Fixes

Fixed losing weapon functionality when casting Resonator on a Warframe other than Octavia (Subsumed).
Fixed getting double prompted to Rush a Subsume if you rejected the first prompt and then went to Feed the Helminth.
Fixed being able to fire your weapon during Undertow or Danse Macabre if active while certain abilities inherited from Helminth expire.

Optimizations

Improved diagnostics for bugs in the Corpus Researcher Cambion Drift Bounty.
Made a few micro-optimizations to HUD Damage indicators.
Made some micro-optimizations to HUD rendering.

Changes:

The ‘Awakening’ cinematic now supports translated subtitles.
Added Ether Daggers to Simaris’ Offerings for players who might have sold theirs.
Updated Deimos Mutagen and Antigen descriptions to indicate which animal they are designated for (Predasite vs Vulpaphyla).
Improvements towards Operator eye textures and shading to look less flat. Look, look with your special eyes!

Infested Companion Fixes

Fixed many cases where the Sly Vulpaphyla wouldn't respect cooldowns, would fail to trigger, or would result in Client FX not getting cleaned up.
Fixed inability to swap Polarities via Forma on Infested Companions.
Fixed the name of newly Gilded Infested Companions not appearing in the Arsenal.

Fixes towards scenarios where the Operator appears visually blown out in the Orbiter when Deferred Rendering is both enabled or disabled.

Fixes towards players unable to launch Archwing after multiple Transference activations.
Fixed certain Warframe abilities (Mesa's Shattered Shield, Mag's Magnetize) that create reflecting bullets counting towards hits that increase the Hata-Satya Critical Chance buff. Only hits performed by Soma Prime should increase the Hata-Satya Critical Chance buff.
Fixed Smeeta Kavat's Mischief ability, Carnis Mod Set bonus, and Survival Instinct modifying evasion incorrectly, and instead acting as a debuff as opposed to the proper buff.
Fixed Clients always hitting a fade-to-black teleport volume when entering the Isolation Vault.

Fixed Mining, Fishing or Conservation marking the Free Roam node as completed before the Bounty is done.

Fixed cases where the Hata-Satya Mod HUD buff may remain on screen, and not resetting if you enter bleedout in the middle of a casting animation.
Fixed missing the Entrati Rank up cutscene if you opened the ESC menu right before the cutscene starts.
Fixed Parvos Granum appearing visually blown out in some cases.
Fixed Hydroid’s Relay Captura Scene having too many NPCs.
Fixed Nidus’ infestation not applying color properly. As reported here!

Fixed erroneous text descriptions telling players things exist in the ‘Derelicts’ and that Vor’s Prize is related to Pluto.
Fixed the ESC menu saying ‘Deimos’ where it should have said Necralisk while in the Syndicates menu.
Fixed Cortege prompting to install a Gravimag first as opposed to a Catalyst. This weapon comes with a Gravimag pre-installed, it will only ask you for a Catalyst if you wish to add one.
Fixed Protea’s Dispensary minimap icon not disappearing if you’re not in the same tile when the ability expires.
Fixed missing 'Hide Owned' Toggle for the Necralisk Oddities Offerings.

Fixes towards Deimos Carnis enemies lingering on the ceiling too long when they should be attacking.
Fixed Wisp not reflecting visual customizations in her Abilities diorama screen.
Fixed Chat Linked Reflex Guard Mod appearing as its old version (Parry Chance).
Fixed a terrain hole in the Orb Vallis. As reported here!
Fixed in-game search not supporting some Turkish characters; including store Offerings, Inventory and especially Chat Link.
Fixed grammatical errors in Executioner Garesh’s Codex description.
Fixed script error if you tried to press the Rank up button on a Syndicate screen right after pressing ESC to back out to the all Syndicate view.
Fixed a script error related to Syandanas that open/close in certain situations.
Fixed a script error potentially related to Hildryn’s Pillage ability.

Hotfix 29.0.7

September 3rd, 2020 Forum Post

In an attempt to keep these notes spoiler free you may notice some less-descriptive language than usual - thank you for your diligent reporting!

Deimos Swarm Support Pack Addition

An additional Syandana, called Palla Syandana, has been added to the Deimos Swarm Supporter Pack! Originally the Palla Syandana was going to be put elsewhere, but it’s design was intended to match the Supporter Pack aesthetic, so we’ve shifted plans and put it in the Deimos Swarm Pack.

We’ll be running a script to retroactively give the Palla Syandana to players who have purchased the Deimos Swarm Pack - stay tuned!

All purchases of the Deimos Swarm Pack moving forward will include the Palla Syandana.

Helminth Changes & Fixes

Added Helminth Ability videos on hover of the respective abilities.
Fixed rare case of getting forced-logged out of Warframe when attempting to Subsume a Warframe to the Helminth under poor Network conditions. As reported here.
Fixed losing weapon functionality if Octavia had Shooting Gallery (Mesa Subsume) active and casted one of her other abilities.
Fixed getting stuck in an inescapable UI loop when attempting to Rename Helminth from the specific console (just inside the door) if you try to submit an invalid name.

Deimos Bounty Changes

Scintillant in the ‘Common’ tier of a Deimos Bounty now has correct rarity weights within that tier. Previously it was applying it’s ‘Rare’ tier drop chance within the ‘Common’ tier - it is now a ~18% drop chance.

Conservation Change

A marker will now appear when spotting Conservation scat through the Trang rifle scope or if a Lure is equipped.

Optimizations

Optimizations towards the Deimos Drop Pod spotlight in the Cambion Drift.
Fixed the Sly Vulpaphyla’s Survival Instinct FX causing a performance dip due to its visual distortion. As reported here!
Fixed memory leak in UI system that could cause a crash when chilling in the Helminth chair.

Changes

Reduced drop chance of Pherliac Pods Blueprint for Deimos Juggernaut to 5%.
Changed 'Necramech Deflection' Mod name to 'Necramech Redirection' since we use Redirection for Max Shield Mods.

Fixes

Fixed inability to log into Warframe if you didn’t own a Kubrow Companion.
- This was hotdropped live Tuesday night!
Fixed a crash when casting the Necramech’s Storm Shroud ability.
Fixed a crash when casting the Necramech’s Necraweb ability.
Fixed a crash when attempting to return to the Necralisk while a Corpus Survivors encounter activates.
Fixed a crash if a Host migration occurred during a K-Drive race.

Fixed Necramech Ammo regeneration speed not changing per weapon equipped.
Fixed a Revenant functionality loss if Reave is cast on an enemy who is both Enthralled and Blood Altared.
Fixed cases of Revenant’s Reave hitting ragdolled enemies multiple times in rapid succession, potentially insta-killing them.
- Added Developer Note: To get into specifics, once an enemy was ragdolled you actually hit their proxies, and each AI has a dozenish or so proxies, you get healed for each hit, easily making it a full heal and instakill for each ragdolled enemy. So you were getting '12' for the price of '1' enemy, which is clearly unintended.
Fixed Heavy Gunners unintentionally having almost triple their Armor since Heart of Deimos. This change accidently occurred when changing Garv’s Armor value as they use the same back end. As reported here!
Fixed Wyrm Residue not surviving a Host migration.
Fixed inability to Trade "Trapezium Xenorhast" and "Cabochon Embolos".
Fixed Xaku's base slow of The Vast Untime being 50% instead of intended 15% at Level 2. As reported here!
Fixed ragdolling enemies not taking additional Slash Status from being hit while debuffed by Garuda’s Seeking Talons.
Fixed enemies able to apply hostile Status Effects through Mag’s “held” variant of Magnetize despite the projectiles never actually reaching you.
Fixed ability to purchase multiple unnecessary copies of the Helminth Segment.
Fixed Deimos Carnis and Deimos Carnis Rex not awarding kill Affinity.
Fixed the Isolation Bounty objective not properly updating upon the second Vault's completion.
Fixed Isolation Vault Esophage waypoint lingering after having left the Vault.

Fixed a script error when leaving Cambion Drift while Infested Drop Pod reinforcements encounter activates.

September 1st, 2020 Forum Post

Hotfix 29.0.4

August 27th, 2020 Forum Post

In an attempt to keep these notes spoiler free you may notice some less-descriptive language than usual - thank you for your diligent reporting!

Token Rank Balancing + Conservation Token Balancing

Ranking up in the Entrati Syndicate will now require a maximum of 1 Entrati Token type per rank (i.e 1x Conservation + 1x Fishing). Anyone who has already ranked up will receive a refund script within the next few days.

We have also done a significant rebalance pass of Conservation’s role in the Entrati Economy based on feedback.

Reduced the Animal Tags required to complete a 1 Token Task by 50%.
Reduced the average number of Animal Tags required for ‘Capture Deimos Wildlife’ Tasks which give 3, 4, and 5 Tokens.
Fixed some ‘Capture Deimos Wildlife’ Tasks appearing as doubles, giving twice the intended Tokens without costing twice as much.
Added a ‘Daily Special’ for Conservation to match the Daily Special for Fishing design by request.

Isolation Vault Bounty Changes & Fixes

Increased the Bait Defense time from 60s to 90s and increased enemy reinforcements.
Lowered drop rate of the Infested anti-toxin during the Toxin Level phase to increase difficulty - it’s too easy!
Toxin Level will now greatly increase if players leave the designated area in an effort to increase team coordination and difficulty.
Replaced the Volatile Runner with a Deimos Runner in the Toxin Level phase.
Fixed a crash that could occur if the Host migrated during an Isolation Vault Bounty.
- This also fixes having to repeat Isolation Vault stages if a Host migration occurred.
Fixed a ‘worst case scenario’ procedural generation where some Isolation Vaults would not have the Reactive Crystal intact, which occurred in a 1 hour window last night.

Scintillant Changes

General note re: Scintillant! We discussed it yesterday, and realized the Scintillant description was too vague in terms of other methods to acquire it and updated its description in the last Hotfix. Overnight, we ran stats and the amount collected was too low, which is widely accepted from the community to be the case. While we all start with baseline ‘0’ for new Updates, this Resource is an outlier in how slowly it’s being accrued, which is to say current pacing not our intention. They should feel like a revised Cetus Wisp, but when we compared the two overnight, and considering more people are playing Heart of Deimos and how many Scintillant are needed, they were lower to a degree that doesn’t make sense with their hookup. Here is how we are fixing that today:

Isolation Bounty Necramech’s now have a chance to drop Scintillant.
Fixed issues with being able to pick up Scintillant within the Vault environments.
Increased the spawn chance and spawn radius size of Scintillant within Vault environments.
Removed Scintillant as one of the Weapons Entrati members ‘Parts Requisition’ Tasks.
Added a slight glow effect to the Scintillant to increase visibility.
Increased the audio loop sound effect when a Scintillant is nearby.

Changes:

Player-usable Necramechs that you can Transference into on the Cambion Drift no longer drop rewards.
- Transferring into a Necramech and then standing around waiting for it to die to drop rewards is far from the intentions of the Necramech system. We understand this is a frustrating oversight. Additionally, this was often bugged that only 1 person got the drop at all. Enemy Necramechs in the Isolation Vaults will still drop rewards, and now they’ll drop more of them (Scintillant).
You can now enjoy Deimos from afar as a new planet backdrop when back in your Orbiter!
Appearance improvements towards Maggot and Crawler death FX.
Optimized mining visibility more by preventing certain ‘pulsing’ aspects of the world overlapping nodes.
Optimized locations of Esophage exit ports.
Reduced camera shake on the second stage of the Heart of Deimos quest.
Hydroid Rakkam Kraken will now be the deluxe version when casting Undertow.
Tweaked the holstered idle pose of the Keratinos to avoid clipping.

Fixes:

Fixed a progression stopper in the Heart of Deimos Quest if enemies spawn behind doors.
Fixed ghost channel members lingering behind in Relays and Towns causing confusion and server-strain.
Fixed a Heart of Deimos progression stop if you used Transference when in the Necramech cutscene.
Fixed certain icons being reversed for repaired Cortege Receiver / Stocks.
Failed failed purchases at Fishing/Conservation Entrati members showing empty quotes instead of the item name.
Fixed Fish part quantities not displaying properly when Cut with the Fishing Entrati member in the Necralisk. This should now equally match when you see when Providing/Cutting Fish in Fortuna/Cetus.
- Note that this is a fix to the user interface: Despite the “Cut fish” summary previously not showing a number of some parts when you cut multiple fish at once, you did actually get those parts.
Fixed an Obelisk exploit with certain AI combinations.
Fixed an issue where starting a multiplayer mission just as the Wyrm’s were rotating could cause level issues.
Fixed an issue with the truly ‘dead’ Mechs not looking deader-than-dead, meaning no Transference allowed.
Fixed Mod Link configs from Configuration B not showing Subsumed abilities.
Fixed issues with the Ashen Mod sets not functioning properly.
Fixed Esophage fast travel not working as intended on Clients.
Fixed a crash that would occur when in a Necramech when someone disconnects.
Fixed a crash that would occur when starting certain Cambion Drift Bounties.
Fixed issues with proper attachment/detachment of enemy Necramech arms for Clients. In some cases Clients saw Necramechs dying with both arms attached when in fact they were shoot off and weakspot exposed.
Fixed some Conservation Lures failing to find a path and possibly creating script errors once activated.
Fixed an issue with loading screens for Earth and Mars looking incorrect.
Fixed enemies not targeting the Operator after dying in a Necramech.
Fixed missing sounds for the Predasite and Vulpaphyla Precepts.
Fixed the Kymaeros having a description for Alloy Plate and other erroneous descriptions.
Fixed an issue where Operators could be used to bypass a part of the Heart of Deimos quest.
Fixed inability to shot for the entire hover duration when in a Necramech.
Fixed Xaku’s ‘Vast Untime’ damaging Teralysts and Variants. As mentioned at TennoCon, this is not intended.
Fixed script error when Vizier Predasite dies when attempting to heal.
Fixed a script error when Inaros’ Devour was cast.

Hotfix 29.0.3

Moved 2 Scintillant spawn points within the Isolation Vaults to be in more trafficked areas.

Hotfix 29.0.2

August 26th, 2020 Forum Post

In an attempt to keep these notes spoiler free you may notice some less-descriptive language than usual - thank you for your diligent reporting!

Changes:

Infested Fish within the Cambion Drift are now always guaranteed to provide their respective Fish parts when cut! Descriptions of Fish parts now also include exact Fish source information.

Update 29.0

August 25th, 2020 Forum Post - The Heart of Deimos

Heart of Deimos: Update 29

Tenno,

Much awaits you in Update 29: Heart of Deimos. Unveil the secrets of Deimos, Mars' second moon. Discover what has been shrouded in mystery, hidden from the Origin System, and why this Infested moon has revealed itself only now. You may begin your search in the 'Heart of Deimos' Quest, eligible for players who have completed the Earth to Mars Junction.

Tenno beginning their journey in Warframe will now awake to a new cinematic introduction and revised tutorial with the New Player Experience: Tutorial 3.0. If you've already awoken, you too can enjoy the refresh by visiting the Codex in your Orbiter.

Xaku – The community-designed Warframe is here! Meet an amalgam of three fallen Warframes from an age past whose pieces were assembled of the Void and reborn as one: Xaku. They call out to you.

The Helminth has arrived, Warframe's deepest customization system yet. Feed the Helminth to replace your Warframes' Abilities! To begin the feast, you must earn the Helminth Segment from the Entrati Syndicate within the Heart of Deimos.

As with all Mainlines, we cast a huge web of changes. You may find some placeholder and unfinished features as you explore all that Heart of Deimos has to offer - please let us know if you see anything amiss! Within the Entrati Syndicate there of course exists its own economy, of which we welcome your constructive feedback once you’ve delved into its features.

Enjoy the Heart of Deimos, Tenno!

NEW QUEST: HEART OF DEIMOS

Deimos emerges in Martian orbit, completely overrun by the Infestation… yet among the writhing mass, a distress call comes over a most ancient carrier wave.

A new Quest is available in your Codex, Tenno! The Prerequisite for ‘Heart of Deimos’ is completing the Earth to Mars Junction.

The “Heart of Deimos” Quest will introduce you to the newest Open World. Learn all about the denizens of THE CAMBION DRIFT, and the souls lurking in THE NECRALISK HUB!

If you buy Xaku with Platinum, you will receive a Riven Mod as a quest Reward in addition to the Xaku Blueprint.

NEW OPEN WORLD: CAMBION DRIFT

The Cambion Drift is a dense open world on Mars’ infested moon of DEIMOS that connects to the Necralisk, a new Hub (detailed below). Below this Open World you will find an Underground, the second layer. You can find puzzles and mysteries below, as well as Necramech encounters! The Cambion Drift will be made accessible in the Star Chart once you’ve completed the Heart of Deimos quest.

OPEN WORLD CYCLE: VOME VS. FASS

The Infested moon of Deimos is under a constant war between VOME and FASS. As you play, you’ll watch the feuding siblings reclaim dominance over Deimos and its denizens.

Vome - with her gentle watch. Fass - with his spiteful anger.

When Vome wins the sibling battle and watches over the Cambion Drift, formidable Infested enemies will lay dormant and you may come across friendly Necramechs on your travels. When Fass wins the sibling battle and watches over the Cambion Drift, those formidable Infested enemies will rise, and ruined Necramechs will lay silent throughout Cambion Drift. The more you play, the more you’ll discover about their watchful effects!

Beware, Tenno!

NEW HUB: NECRALISK The Necralisk is a Void Research Facility home to the ENTRATI - who you will learn much more about as you play the ‘Heart of Deimos’ Quest. To keep these notes spoiler free, we will simply provide the types of NPC vendors available within the Necralisk! Full services and details can be discovered in game after completing the Heart of Deimos Quest.

A key part of Heart of Deimos are the Tokens representing each of the Entrati members. These will be your key to progress throughout the ENTRATI Syndicate in order to gain Standing, and by talking to each Vendor and playing Bounties you can discover all there is to earn!

An important distinction from this Open World vs. others is that, due to the nature of the Entrati’s relationships to one another, we are using a symbolic Token system for all Syndicate Standing. As an example, this means by completing Bounties you will earn ‘Mother Tokens’, that you can redeem for Entrati Standing at any time within your Daily Limits. You can always earn more Mother Tokens than your Daily Standing Cap allows, meaning you can accrue and redeem at times convenient for you! (Read on below to see Daily Standing Cap changes!)

*Find the Necramech Blueprint as well as its Components from the Necraloid Syndicate.

Ability 2: Storm Shroud
Swathe the Necramech in a powerful electrical field that greatly enhances survivability in close combat. Enemies that strike the shroud will suffer for their impudence.

Ability 3: Gravemines
Launch a pattern of charged mines all around you. Each mine detonates in a violent blast when touched, damaging enemies in a three-meter radius.

Ability 4: Guard Mode

*Find the Cortege Blueprint as well as its Components from the Necraloid Syndicate.

MAUSOLON (given with first built Necramech)

An ancient weapon designed by the Entrati for use by their Necramechs. Primary fire siphons life essence from the target to fuel a devastating Alt Fire. Punishing automatic primary fire and an alt more that charges up to unleash a destructive beam of energy with a large explosion at point of impact.

*As outlined in a recent Dev Workshop, all new weapons in the update are starting with a minimum Riven disposition of 0.5. This includes the new Archgun weapons, Mausolon and Cortege. Archgun Riven dispositions have not been rebalanced in the past, but they will be included in our quarterly changes going forward, starting with the next Prime Access!

CONSERVATION
VELOCIPOD - LIVING K-DRIVES

Scattered around the Cambion Drift are new passive creatures known as Velocipods. While they are flighty, if you manage to catch one and mount it you can pilot one like a temporary, organic K-Drive! You will be able to shoot from the back of a Velocipod, just like any other K-Drive! You can also choose to Conserve these creatures with the Tranq Rifle you acquired on your journey through Fortuna!

PREDASITE

These Solitary predators return to the same partners each mating season, meeting up in the Swamp. Other times of the year, they disperse across the Cambion Drift. There are three subspecies of Predasites you can encounter in the wild. These subspecies, when captured, can be “Revivificated” into companions at the Conservation Vendor in the Necralisk. Learn more about Predasite companion creation in the “New Infested Companions” section below.

VULPAPHYLA

These scavengers roam in small packs, picking at the remains that larger predators have left behind. There are three subspecies of Vulpaphyla you can encounter in the wild. These subspecies, when captured, can be “Revivificated” into companions at the Conservation Vendor in the Necralisk. Learn more about Vulpaphyla companion creation in the “New Infested Companions” section below.

AVICHAEA

This winged Cambion Drift creature can be found clinging to the walls in groups, or seen flying overhead. A patient approach is best, as they are quick to flee if startled. There are three subspecies of Avichaea you can encounter in the wild.

CRYPTILEX

These burrowing critters can occasionally be found near the Infested plants that grow from the fleshy landscape of the Cambion Drift. There are three subspecies of Cryptilex you can encounter in the wild.

*Each of these species have unique variants - find them all!

INFESTED FISHING

Fishing on an Infested planet has some new challenges! Fish can be found flying (yes, flying) around the Cambion Drift, and come in a variety of flavors. Some fish will only be present during the Fass and Vome cycles and have various rarities!

Bait: Each time Fass and Vome duel in the Cambion Drift, the losing Wyrm’s body will scatter the landscape with its own Residue. Both the Fass Residue and Vome Residue can be picked up and used as Bait for the Infested Fish, using the Fishing Menu! Like with previous fishing systems, drop the Reside into the “water” and wait for the Fish to appear.

See the list of Fish below to learn more about each of the Infested Fish of Deimos and how some Fish only react to certain Residue. Visit the Entrati Syndicate Fishing member within the Necralisk to master the art of Infested Fishing!

Once you have completed the Heart of Deimos Quest, a new vendor will be able to provide you with the Spari Spear, as well as provide a location to turn in Fish for fish parts. The Fish on Deimos are unique creatures, so make sure you have the right equipment!

CAVE FISH:

Duroid - A living fossil hearkening back to the Orokin era, this elusive fish hides below the surface of Exocrine pools in the deepest caverns it can find.
Aquapulmo - These fish were purposefully contaminated with the Infestation as an Entrati 'experiment'. They feed off the organic deposits in cave systems.
Kymaeros - The Infestation has suborned these fish to its own purposes, using them as antibodies in the Exocrine to repel the non-Infested. They swim through the cavernous arteries of Deimos.
Chondricord - A triumph of Orokin bio-engineering, these hardy fish have adapted to the Deimos environment and seem oddly resistant to Infestation. They thrive in cave environments.
Vitreospina - Whatever higher functions this fish once had have been consumed, leaving it a mere automaton of metal and flesh. It ekes out a primitive existence in cave systems.
Barbisteo - As ravenous as the Infestation itself, this fish feeds on the remains of others. It shuns the light, preferring an enclosed cave environment.
Myxostomata - This exceptionally rare breed of fish is almost extinct, as its gilded Orokin flesh has a special savor for predators. It warily conceals itself in caves.

SURFACE FISH:

Ostimyr - Crammed with redundant, mutated internal organs, this pungent fish is highly sought after. It only emerges from surface pools in the light of the Wyrm Vome.
Cryptosuctus - Formerly Orokin scavengers, these fish succumbed to the Infestation long ago and now greedily feast on floating spores. They are found all over the surface of Deimos.
Glutinox - These hefty fish are cannibalistic. They rise by Vome's light to absorb rare gases, retreating when Fass ascends to devour their smaller kin in their lairs.
Amniophysi - These fish hatch out of translucent pods formed in the Infested landscape itself. The radiance of Fass stirs them into activity.

NEW INFESTED RESOURCES
HARVESTING THE CAMBION DRIFT

The Cambion Drift has a whole collection of new Resources to earn as you explore and delve into the Heart of Deimos. Unlike the more “natural” Resources of the Plains of Eidolon or the Orb Vallis, the Cambion Drift is a living, breathing landscape with a whole collection of Infested goodies to gather! Visit the Mining Entrati Syndicate member to learn more!

Mining
GEMS

Faceted Tiametrite - Common
Purged Dagonic - Common
Purified Heciphron - Uncommon
Stellated Necrathene - Rare
Trapezium Xenorhast - Legendary
Cabochon Embolos - Legendary

ALLOYS

Adramal Alloy - Common
Tempered Bapholite - Common
Devolved Namalon - Uncommon
Thaumic Distillate - Rare

NEW INFESTED COMPANIONS - REVIVIFICATION

The Cambion Drift is a hostile world. Even though several native species have adapted to surviving amongst the rampant Infestation, they still fall prey to it and its attacks. The Vulpaphyla and Predasite are no exception and are threatened by its vicious nature. You can save these Conservation creatures by wrangling them from the wild Infested landscape so that they may be treated at the Necralisk hub. There, you can assist in the administering of treatment and “Revivificate” them into Companions.

*Please note Infested Companion Imprints will come in another Update.

Here’s how it works:

1. Capture

First you must tranq and capture a Vulpaphyla or Presadite in a wounded state (creatures affected will have a certain glow to them after they have been wounded by the Infested). You must encounter these creatures while they are infected and tranq it before it loses its battle with the Infested. The captured Vulpaphyla or Presadite is then transported to the Necralisk.

Without intervention, these creatures are likely to succumb to the Infestation. Return to the Necralisk and speak to the Conversation Vendor to treat them with a mix of Mutagens and Antigens to heal it of its ailments.

2. Treat

Visit the Conservation Vendor and select “Vulpaphyla/Presadite Revivification” to get started in restoring the creature. There are three elements that will bring the creature to a restored state so that they may fight alongside you. The options available in these categories will determine the characteristics of your new Infested Companion:

Breed: The Wounded Vulpaphylas and Presadites you have saved will appear here for selection. The subspecies of the beast determines its physical appearance, base stats, and precepts.
Mutagen: Adapts the Infestation to grant certain types of resistances. Side effects of the Mutagens include altering of the look of the tail.
Antigen: Attunes the Infestation to certain polarities (Vazarin, Naramon, Madurai, and Penjaga). Side effects of the Antigen include various physical alterations.

Mutagens and Antigens can be purchased from the Conservation Vendor in Necralisk.

3. Keep or Release

After you have successfully saved the creature, you have the option to either keep or release it. Keeping the creature will make it available as a trusty Companion, while releasing the creature will put it back into the wild for a Standing gain with the Entrati.

NEW INFESTED ENEMIES

The DEIMOS creatures roaming the Cambion Drift feast on anything foolish enough to enter their desolate landscape. Fear the scuttling terror of the Deimos Carnis, the powerful slam of the Deimos Saxum and the subterranean terror of the Deimos Jugulus. With many legs and fearsome appetites, these infested creatures are waiting to devour any unwary Tenno that may cross their path!

NEW INFESTED ENEMY MOD SETS

NEW GAMEPLAY SYSTEM: THE HELMINTH
REVIEW OUR FULL DEV WORKSHOP HERE: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1212921-the-helminth-dev-workshop

Customize your Warframe’s Abilities at a depth never experienced before in Warframe! Introducing THE HELMINTH.

The Helminth System is an expansion of the Helminth room on your Orbiter - you may only know this room as an infested space that allows you to remove the Helminth Cyst. With the ‘Heart of Deimos’ Update, that’s all changing. The Helminth system enables you to customize your Warframes by infusing new Abilities in place of existing Abilities.

Once you’ve unlocked The Helminth System, you can fast travel to the Helminth Infirmary under the Equipment pause menu!

Deep Dive:

How does it work?

To participate in the Helminth, you must obtain the ‘Helminth Segment’. This is acquired in the Heart of Deimos in the Entrati Syndicate Conservation member (once you are Rank 3 with Entrati) and is then crafted and installed on your Orbiter in the Helminth Room to begin your Helminth journey!

Once ready, there are 2 key things this System offers:

- You can replace 1 Ability per Warframe. - Every Warframe can be Subsumed to permanently provide 1 specific Ability to Helminth.

Who is this for?

We consider this a customization system for very experienced Warframe players (Mastery Rank 8 Prerequisite). We do not intend to let newer players unlock this system. We intentionally placed the Segment deep into progression to ensure only experience players could access the Segment and begin their journey with Helminth.

What are Resources / Secretions?

Virtually every Resource you’ve ever earned can be fed to Helminth - your stockpiles have a new home! This Feeding creates SECRETIONS, which allow you to utilize the Helminth for Ability customization. Helminth has a diverse appetite - make sure you feed Helminth Resources they want to eat to get the best Secretion results! Your choices on what you’ve fed Helminth will determine its willingness to reward secretions - change it up for best results!

Permanent?

Infused Abilities are removable with the click of a button - they will stay within a given Warframe as long as you decide you want it!

Subsuming a Warframe is permanent - only Subsume Warframes you are sure you do not want to play with. You can always re-earn or re-buy a subsumed Warframe.

Do Configurations matter?

You can deeply customize by only replacing Abilities on certain Configurations, as seen in the Demo! But we would like to expand this further to demonstrate just how deep you can go.

You can have 1 different Ability infused PER config!

So if you have Excalibur in the chair - you could put Shock on Configuration A, Molt on Configuration B, and Firewalker on Configuration C!

For example, if you wanted Shock applied to Excalibur on Configuration A but wanted Configuration B and Configuration C to stay default with Slash Dash, you can do so!

What does Ranking Helminth do?

As you feed and use the Helminth system, you will rank up! Each Rank unlocks something different - from a new power, to more Subsume Slots (max Rank Helminth = unlimited Subsume Slots), make sure you progress through the Ranks by regularly Feeding Helminth, Subsuming, and Infusing your Warframes!

What are the Helminth Abilities?

Helminth Provides unique abilities of their own:

"EMPOWER" "Increase the strength of your next Ability use."

“ENERGY MUNITIONS" "Increase the efficiency of your Ammo consumption."

"INFESTED MOBILITY" "Increase your parkour velocity."

"MARKED FOR DEATH" “Stun an enemy; a portion of the next damage you deal to it will be dealt to all enemies around it."

"REBUILD SHIELDS" "Instantly restore your shields."

"PERSPICACITY" "Automatically succeed at your next hack attempt."

"MASTER'S SUMMONS" "Heal your companion and call it to your side."

"EXPEDITE SUFFERING" "Affect enemies in a cone, removing any Bleed and Poison status from them and dealing any remaining damage not yet suffered in a single burst."

What is Subsuming?

In addition to Helminth’s own Abilities, you can Subsume a Warframe to obtain 1 specific Ability permanently in Helminth’s memory (list below). We do not allow the Subsuming of any Prime Warframes, but you can Infuse Abilities on Prime Warframes! Warframes can be Subsumed at any Rank (do not need to be Rank 30).

What is Infusion?

Infusion is the process of injecting a Warframe with an Ability - whether it be one of Helminth’s own, or another Warframes. Every Warframe can receive 1 Infused ability at a time in any Ability slot (i.e you could place Shock on any of the 4 Ability slots).

What is Subsuming?

Subsuming is the act of permanently providing a base Warframe into the Helminth’s biology. 1 Warframe can be subsumed every 24 hours.

What Abilities are earned on Subsuming a Warframe?

The following table outlines the current Ability a given Warframe will provide on the Subsume action.

Why do some Infused Warframe Abilities have these rules?

It was apparent in player feedback and our own play testing that these Infused Warframe Abilities had the potential to be the overwhelming choice; which is not ideal. Instead of changing the Ability outright due to those concerns, we decided to give them slight rules when Infused.

What are my safeguards?

Since you can remove an Ability at any time with the click of a button, you’ll be able to safely experiment with many creative combinations.

For example, if you replace Grendel’s ‘1’, your kit doesn’t really work! If you change around or re-assign Abilities already assigned to Railjack Tactical use, you simply may not have one, or have a new one in its place! If you put Hildryn’s PIllage on Inaros, you don’t get Shields, but you do get diminished Armor/Shields on enemies on cast.

It’s all up to you - have fun experimenting, Tenno!

What about Damage buffing Abilities?

As you can see, we have two Abilities that increase damage: Mirage’s Eclipse, and Rhino’s Roar. We are creating a special case for these Abilities when infused on Warframes with similar Abilities (i.e Chroma, Mirage, Rhino, Octavia). When you infuse these, you will receive a prompt that you can only have 1 Damage Buffing ability at a time, and thus you are limited to replacing said ability type. Which is to say - Damage Buffing abilities can only be swapped with Damage Buffing Abilities on Warframes that already have them. However, that limitation does not apply to the other 30+ Warframes.

What exactly is going on here with the Warframe Subsuming?

Warframes that are Subsumed join the Helminth in an eternal bond. They will live on in a Lotus flower that matches the colours of the Subsumed Warframe, as a permanent honor.

Is ‘Helminth’ a permanent name?

Don’t like it? You can rename your Helminth at any time!

Is Helminth a Cat or Dog ‘Person’?

Well, you’ll find out…

COMMUNITY CREATED WARFRAME: XAKU
Neither he nor she, Xaku is a composite…. A Warframe assembly made of others lost in the early Entrati Void expeditions. Xaku has mastered this power of the Void to terrify and bewilder their adversaries.

Created by the community in the Community Created Warframe project from theme to aesthetic to Abilities. Xaku’s concept art was made by community fan artist Eornheit!

Since XAKU is a community Warframe, we will be doing a concerted second Phase of ability tweaks that is based on feedback on all platforms to ensure there are revisions from the community’s experiences. We will discuss this in a Dev Workshop as we get your feedback on our desks!

PASSIVE

25% chance for incoming weapon damage to pass through Xaku completely.

XATA’S WHISPER

Wield Void Damage for all attacks from equipped weapons when activated.

GRASP OF LOHK

Void Tendrils steal weapons from nearby enemies to use as your own floating, auto-targeting armament.

THE LOST

Cycle through and cast one of the three abilities originating from the Warframes that make up Xaku: Accuse, Gaze, and Deny. Cycle through them by tapping, and hold to cast.

ACCUSE - Create a radial fissure for a limited time that corrupts enemies who walk within its radius to fight alongside Xaku.

GAZE - Xaku releases a scream of the many voices within to lock up to two target enemies in place with a Void tendrils cage. Enemies who enter the radius of the trapped victims will have their Armor or Shields reduced.

DENY - Xaku fires a beam that deals Void damage and can clear Sentient damage resistances. Enemies that survive the blow are suspended in the air.

THE VAST UNTIME

Temporarily shed the outer pieces of Xaku in a destructive blast, then stalk the battlefield in a new swifter skeletal form. Enemies damaged by the body shrapnel are rendered weaker to Void damage. While Xaku is in their skeletal form, they have 75% damage reduction and increased mobility. Recast at any time to bring Xaku back together again.

Similarly to Equinox, a toggle is available in the Arsenal to see Xaku in their “The Vast Untime” form.

XAKU COLLECTION

Xaku arrives from the Void as a strange and enigmatic new force. Includes the Xaku Warframe, Xaku Kintsu Helmet, Artifex Syandana, and Quassus Warfan. Also includes 3-Day Affinity and Credit Boosters.

XAKU KINTSU ALT HELMET

Xaku cuts a unique profile in this distinctive Alt Helmet assembled from the remains of several other, less fortunate Warframes. Concept art and sculpt of the Xaku Kintsu Alt Helmet was made by community TennoGen Artist Faven.

ARTIFEX SYANDANA

This techno-organic Syandana fits over the shoulder, giving your Warframe a unique spiked silhouette. A signature Syandana for Xaku. Concept art for the Artifex Syandana was made by community fan artist Karu.

QUASSUS

Flick away the enemy with this heavy Warfan. The Quassus scatters ethereal daggers that are even more deadly accurate when wielded by Xaku, their signature weapon. Concept art for the Quassus Warfan was made by fan artist Kedemel.

*Find the Quassus in the Market or the Blueprint in Entrati Bounties.

NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE: REVAMPED TUTORIAL

Tenno beginning their journey in Warframe will now awake to a new cinematic introduction and revised Tutorial.

Warframe’s new Tutorial continues the story introduced in the cinematic directed by Dan Trachtenberg. Elements that have become central to Warframe’s core gameplay, like bullet jumping, are now part of the tutorial. Traverse the Plains of Eidolon to escape Captain Vor and begin your quest to uncover forgotten memories!

*Tenno who have already played through the Tutorial can play through the refreshed version by visiting the Codex Quest section under a new name ‘Awakening’ (also replayable)!

K-Drive Changes

For a while, we have received periodic requests to make weapons functional on K-Drives, and as a result, we have made Secondary Weapons usable while you glide in style! Please note that weapons are only usable when your K-Drive is on the ground, and will be stowed when jumping, doing flips, grinding, and other glinty maneuvers!

Mounting your K-Drive will appear as normal until you press the binding to equip your Secondary (default F key). Press again to put it away and do those sick moves.

NEW K-DRIVE MODS

With the expansion of K-Drive functionality, we have introduced some new K-Drive Mods for you to use! Roky in Fortuna will have all of these new wares to exchange for Ventkids Standing, so make sure you pay the Ventkids a visit!

Primo Flair - Increase Maximum Trick combo to 6000.
Bomb The Landin - Tap and Hold Grind in the air to execute a 20m Slam Shockwave.

Upon starting Warframe at MR0, your Daily Standing Cap will start at 8500 and increase at more gradual increments per Mastery Rank. You will also now have access to a larger Daily Standing Cap at each Mastery Rank than in the previous system! This will take effect next Daily Reset.
