CODEX

Nothing fancy but gets the job done and then some. With its electrified armor, this rough and ready mech can make the battlefield treacherous for the enemy with an arsenal of explosives.

The Voidrig is a frontline-purpose Necramech design, capable of handling both offensive and defensive actions with ease with its heavy armor using explosive weaponry and potent defensive abilities. It comes with the  Mausolon Archgun as its default armament.

Acquisition

Component blueprints for the Voidrig are available for 2,000 Standing 2,000 from the Necraloid Syndicate at Rank 1 - Clearance: Agnesis, while the main Voidrig blueprint is available for 5,000 Standing 5,000 at Rank 2 - Clearance: Modus. When levelling the Syndicate, one Voidrig blueprint is offered for free. Alternatively, completion of Heart of Deimos will reward all main and component blueprints for free.

Crafting the components additionally requires Rank 3 - Associate with the  Entrati in order to acquire  Devolved Namalon,  Trapezium Xenorhast,  Stellated Necrathene,  Tempered Bapholite,  Cabochon Embolos, and  Thaumic Distillate required in its construction.

Damaged Necramech components are dropped by enemy Necramechs that appear in Isolation Vault Bounties.

Damaged Necramech components, built Voidrig components,  Trapezium Xenorhast, Cabochon Embolos,  Stellated Necrathene and fish yielding components used here (e.g. Myxostomata for  Cranial Foremount) can be traded between players. Trading for gems or fully built components will bypass the Syndicate rank requirements. However, Voidrig component blueprints and the main blueprint cannot be traded.

Abilities

Main article: Necraweb (edit)

	1 25	Necraweb Hurl a canister of gravitation fluids to create a wide mire that will significantly slow enemies traveling across it. Alternatively, the canister can be shot in mid-air to create a fiery conflagration. Introduced in Update 29.0 (2020-08-25)	Strength:750 / 1000 / 1500 / 2000 ( Blast damage)
			Duration:10 / 13 / 15 / 20 s
			Range:5 / 10 / 15 / 20 m (range) 15 / 20 / 22 / 25 m (explosion radius)
			Misc: 50% (slow)

• Info

Info

• Voidrig expends 25 energy to deploy a canister that can be thrown (default MMB ).
  • Upon impacting an enemy or surface, the canister produces a webbing field that slows enemies by 50% over 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 meters, lasting for 10 / 13 / 15 / 20 seconds.
  • If shot at while traveling in midair, the canister explodes to inflict 750 / 1000 / 1500 / 2000  Blast damage over a 15 / 20 / 22 / 25 meter radius.

Main article: Storm Shroud (edit)

	2 50	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. Introduced in Update 29.0 (2020-08-25)	Strength:400 / 600 / 800 / 1200 (base health) 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 2x (absorption multiplier)
			Duration:N/A
			Range:N/A
			Misc: 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% (counter chance) 3s (invulnerability duration)

• Info

Info

• Voidrig expends 50 energy to create an reinforcing buffer with 400 / 600 / 800 / 1200 base health. Upon activation, the shroud is invulnerable for 3 seconds, during this time all incoming damage it takes is multiplied by 100% / 125% / 175% / 250% and added to the its total health. When attacked while active, the shroud has a 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% chance to reflect damage back to attackers.
  • Does not reflect  Void Damage.
  • Using the ability again while it is active will instantly deactivate the shield at no energy cost, allowing it to be recast.
  • Ability Strength increases the maximum health of Storm Shroud, as well as the Absorption Multiplier.
• While active, Voidrig's selected helmet will rotate counterclockwise as it generates the shroud, and the shroud will emit electricity that arcs to nearby surfaces.

Main article: Gravemines (edit)

	3 75	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. Introduced in Update 29.0 (2020-08-25)	Strength:200 ( Heat damage)
			Duration:8 / 12 / 16 / 24 (number of charges)
			Range:5 / 6 / 7 / 8m (scatter range)
			Misc: 3m (explosion radius) 2.5 s (self detonation time)

• Info

Info

• Voidrig expends 75 energy to deploy 8 / 12 / 16 / 24 charged mines and scatter them 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters around it, detonating on contact with an enemy for 200  Heat damage with a guaranteed proc over a 3 meter radius.
  • If no enemy is hit or touches the mine after deployment it will self-detonate after 2.5 seconds.
• Unlike the description may suggest, the Gravemines are fired ahead in fast sequence of two straight roughly parallel lines from fixed twin launchers on the Voidrig's chest (each one half of the total mine amount). The mines are launched in the direction that the Voidrig's chest is facing, rather than the player's current aim, thus to defensively cover the area around it, requires to spin the mech while casting the ability.

Main article: Guard Mode (edit)

	4 50 +5/s	Guard Mode Take a stationary stance to deploy maximum firepower and gain increased structural integrity for a time. Introduced in Update 29.0 (2020-08-25)	Strength:150 / 250 / 350 / 500 ( Blast  Heat damage)
			Duration:N/A
			Range:N/A

• Info
• Tips & Tricks

Info

• Voidrig deploys its powerful turret Archgun, the  Arquebex, on both arms as its Exalted Weapon, while simultaneously bracing itself on the ground. Shots fired by the Arquebex inflict 150 / 250 / 350 / 500  Blast and  Heat damage.
  • The Arquebex is immediately able to be used upon casting the ability even while the deployment animation takes a few seconds to play through.
• Guard Mode costs 50 energy to deploy, then drains 5 energy per second and will remain active so long as Voidrig has energy.
  • Guard Mode will end if Voidrig runs out of energy or if deactivated by pressing the ability key again.
  • Voidrig can still replenish energy from Energy Orbs and  Necramech Rage while Guard Mode is active.
• The Voidrig is immobile while Guard Mode is active, and use of its other special abilities is prevented.
• Cannot be cast while in the air.

Tips & Tricks

• Guard Mode is a viable crunch move in case a player is forced to deal with an Eidolon alone, either because allies are all downed and ran out of revives or said player got disconnected from others due to a connectivity issue, and still wants to salvage the mission's progress. The Arquebex deals massive damage to the giant enemy especially when struck at its weakpoints, as well as temporarily disabling Vomvalysts that shield it by smashing them with cannon fire.

Notes

• Strangely, player-built Necramechs possess Flesh and Shield health types and Ferrite Armor type rather than Tenno Flesh, Tenno Shield, and Tenno Armor that Warframes use, or Machinery and Proto Shield that enemy Necramechs use.
• Claiming the Voidrig's completed blueprint from the foundry additionally requires an open arch-weapon slot, as the Voidrig comes pre-equipped with the  Mausolon.
• "Particle System Quality" must be set to Medium or higher in order to see the projectiles and tracer rounds fired by Guard Mode's Arquebex.
• Has an innate loot pickup radius of 6m.
• Polarizing the Voidrig increases its max rank by 2, capping at rank 40 (80 with an Orokin Reactor installed) after 5 polarizations.

Tips

• Because the damage of detonating Necraweb is so low, and because any source of damage will destroy the auto-detonated mire version this ability is usually wasted on public matches as any ally fire will instantly destroy them, wasting your energy. As such the ability is best used in solo mode and with non-aoe weaponry to prevent destroying these mire fields.
  • Necraweb's slowing mire also effects Eidolons, even if the ability is destroyed. This may be a bug as all other enemies resume moving at normal speed if the mire is destroyed but this allows players to slow down various phases and even walking speed to give players more time to work with, like if an eidolon is attempting to walk to a water source when day begins.
• Using Storm Shroud before going into Guard Mode can give you a few extra seconds of damage prevention, since abilities cannot be cast while in guard mode and Voidrig gains no extra defense while in this mode, despite what the description may imply.

Update 34.0 (2023-10-18)

Base vs Final Stats in Modding - Health / Energy / Shield / Armor Stat Overhaul

If you’ve spent any time invested in the deeper nuances of Modding, you may be familiar with “Warframe Math” - math that upon first glance doesn’t really make sense, but once you learn the inner workings of the game, it all comes together. While we can appreciate the value that complex systems offer to a certain subsect of players, there are other aspects of the game that should have clear and understandable outcomes. Namely: Shield, Health, Energy, and Armor Modding.

Pop quiz: what is 300 + 440%? If you answered 740, you may just be an Excalibur player.

Vitality (+440% Heath), Redirection (+440% Shields), Flow (+150% Energy), and Steel Fiber (+110% Armor) come with large modifier values that don’t seem to match their outcome in-game. This is because these Mods apply their multiplier to the base stats of the Warframe - i.e., the stats you have at Rank 0. In the Excalibur example, a Rank 30 Excalibur’s Health stat of 300 earns an additional 440 Health from max rank Vitality (+440% Heath) since it applies to his base rank Health stat of 100, resulting in 740 total health.

In this update, we have removed this obfuscation by having Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods apply to the stats of Warframes at their current rank. Continuing our Excalibur example, instead of Vitality always applying to Excalibur’s base rank 100 Health, it would apply to his Health stat based on his rank - namely, the stat you can actually see in your Arsenal. If your Excalibur were Rank 30, his Health stat would be 300, which means Vitality’s multiplier would be calculated off of 300.

With previous Health and Mod values, additional adjustments are needed to make this revision work while maintaining game balance. By only changing where the multiplier applies, a Rank 30 Excalibur would receive an extra 1,320 Health from max rank Vitality, resulting in a total health stat of 1,600. This outcome is a significant buff, which is not the intention of this system change.

To remedy this, we approached this problem in two ways:

1 - We reduced the overall multiplier for Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods.
Since these now affect Max Rank Warframe stats, these Mods need to scale differently to maintain the status quo. Additionally, we wanted these new values to be as clear and understandable to all players as possible! Here are a few examples of these value changes:

• Vitality: Reduced from +440% to +100% Health
• Redirection: Reduced from +440% to +100% Shield Capacity
• Steel Fiber: Reduced from +110% to +100% Armor
• Flow: Reduced from +150% to +100% Energy Max

Doing some quick math, this means that a Rank 30 Excalibur (300 Health) with a reworked Vitality Mod (+100% Health, applied to the final Health stat) would receive 300 extra Health, for a total of 600. That, in contrast, is a nerf, which we also don’t want to do.

So, our next step:

2 - We adjusted Warframe Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor values to keep the end result of the revised Mods as close to the original values as possible.

With this change, Excalibur’s Rank 30 Health stat is 370. With +100% Health from a max Vitality Mod, his resulting Health stat would be 740, which matches what it was originally.

While this path to the same result may seem a little complicated, the outcome matches our intention: we want players to be able to look at their Health, Shield, and Armor Mods, and be able to understand how they affect the stats they see in their Arsenal.

In addition to everything above, we also increased the base stat values for Warframes so that these revised Mods offer similar value for lower-ranked Frames. To do so, we reduced the amount of Health/Shield/Energy that Warframes earn per rank in half, and transferred the sum of that value to their base stats.

For Armor, this is the one stat that does not increase with your Warframe’s level (with some exceptions). Armor values across the board have been slightly increased to compensate for the Mod changes.

Not to beat a dead Kaithe, but Mods will now be applying to the Max Rank stat instead of the Base Rank. You may look at these numbers and think “nerf” or “buff” depending, but the outcome is that total Modded values are the same, if not a little higher in some cases. Here are a few outliers before we get into the nitty-gritty of it:

• Lavos, Nidus, Nidus Prime, and Kullervo all have buffs to their Armor values as a result of this change.
  • Ex: Nidus Prime’s Armor stat increased from 910 (previous) to 1,050 (new with this update) with max Steel Fiber Equipped. With all 3 Umbral Warframe Mods equipped, this buff results in a difference of 1198 Armor (previous) to 1470 Armor (new with this update).
• Garuda and Garuda Prime’s received buffs to their Modded Energy pool.
  • ie. Garuda Prime’s Energy stat has been increased from 800 (previous) to 912 (new with this update) with max Primed Flow equipped.

Necramech Changes

Necramechs have also been updated to apply Health / Shield / Energy / Armor values to Max Rank stats.

Necramech Stat Changes:

VOIDRIG
Health: Base Rank - 1400 (from 1500) / Max Rank - 2400 (from 3000)
Shields: Base Rank - 850 (from 500) / Max Rank - 1050 (from 1000)
Armor: Base Rank - 385 (from 400)
Energy: Base Rank - 175 (from 150) / Max Rank - 225 (from 225)

While there may be significant changes to Warframe Stats and Mod values as a part of this overhaul, the end result is that your Builds should mostly stay the same. The key difference is the added clarity of what your Health / Shield / Energy / Armor Mods do in your Upgrade screens!

Necramech Acquisition Changes

Another part of a Tenno’s path is improving their gear, especially once they’ve unlocked their Operator. In addition to the Focus Point acquisition changes covered above in the System Changes section, we’ve made the following tweaks to improve player acquisition for Necramechs:

• Voidrig crafting costs have been updated to require Cambion Drift resources only. Some of the resources required investment in other Hub Syndicates and Railjack, adding further obstacles for players on their journey to their Necramech. The updated crafting changes are as follows:
  • Voidrig Casing - replaced Venerdo Alloy with 5 Cranial Foremount
  • Voidrig Engine - replaced Isos with 6 Cabochon Embolos
  • Voidrig Capsule - replaced Marquise Veridos with 50 Devolved Namalon
  • Voidrig Weapon Pod - replaced Charc Electroplax with 6 Trapezium Xenorhast
• Added Damaged Necramech Components to Loid’s Store for purchase. Players can purchase Damaged Necramech Casings, Engines, Pods, and Weapon Pods from the Necraloid Syndicate at Rank 1 for 2,500 Standing each.
  • With the number of components needed to build your Necramech, the drop tables may not always be in your favor. Similar to Voruna and Citrine, we are adding the ability to purchase missing components directly from a vendor as a way to offset the grind.

Hotfix 33.0.11 (2023-05-24)

• Fixed Voidrig and Bonewidow becoming disarmed after switching to Pugil mode.
  • This was an issue with the “swap weapons” binding being unintentionally enabled for Necramechs - it is now disabled again. Swiping with Pugil can be done by using the melee binding as intended.

Hotfix 31.7.1 (2022-07-28)

• Fixed casting the Necramech’s Necraweb Ability resulting in the Necramech becoming unarmed.

Update 31.6 (2022-06-09)

• Added abilities videos to the Necramech abilities screen.

Hotfix 31.5.8 (2022-05-11)

• Updated the descriptions for Arquebex and Necraweb

Update 31.5 (2022-04-27)

New Player Experience

Quality Of Life Changes

• Completing the Heart of Deimos quest will now reward you with the Voidrig Blueprint, Voidrig Weapon Blueprint, Voidrig Capsule Blueprint, Voidrig Engine Blueprint, and Voidrig Casing Blueprint in the post-quest Inbox.
  • As a follow up to our Necramech Drop Rate & Crafting Cost Changes from Update 30.9.0, we wanted to add another way to set up players for success as they continue their journey to The New War and other content that requires a Necramech to participate.
  • For those who have already completed the Heart of Deimos quest prior to this update, these Blueprints will also be retroactively sent via Inbox. We will also be running an Alert on all platforms that rewards 4 Orokin Animus Matrices. More information on that here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1305860-orokin-animus-matrices-alert/

Update 31.1 (2022-02-09)

• Fixed the Voidrig Necramech missing its corn cob bodice in the in-game Market diorama.

Update 30.9 (2021-11-11)

Necramech Drop Rate & Crafting Cost Changes

Necramechs have started to play a vital role within the System - from being part of the Railjack experience, to a great tool in our Open Worlds. While their firepower provides an advantage, the time and resource investment required to obtain one has shown to be a deterrent to newer players. As The New War approaches, we aim to alleviate that initial friction and provide an easier path of obtainment.

Enemy Necramechs now have a 50% chance to drop a Necramech part across the board, evenly distributed. The battle required to defeat an enemy Necramech is not easy nor quick. This increased chance of getting a Necramech part helps to reduce the time investment needed in order to gather the mandatory parts to build your first Necramech.

Additionally, we’ve halved most of the Mining/Fishing part costs for crafting the Voidrig as this is the ‘first’ Necramech players see in the Heart of Deimos quest, so we want to make acquiring it a little easier. Bonewidow has been left as is as a longer-term goal.

The changes are:

• Voidrig Casing:
  • Adramal Alloy: From 120 to 60
  • Stellated Necrathene: From 16 to 8
  • Venerdo Alloy: From 40 to 20
• Voidrig Engine
  • Tempered Bapholite: From 100 to 50
  • Biotic Filter: From 2 to 1
• Voidrig Capsule:
  • Spinal Core Section: From 30 to 15
  • Marquise Veridos: From 20 to 10
• Voidrig Weapon Pod:
  • Biotic Filter: From 6 to 3
  • Thaumic Distillate: From 80 to 40
  • Charc Electroplax: From 45 to 25
