Update 36

New Player Experience Improvements:

• Removed enemy spawns at the top of the ramp before the Aim Glide section in the Awakening Quest to allow new players to focus on the tutorial message instead of fighting them off.
• Saya’s Vigil Quest Changes & Fixes:
  • The pop-up that occurs during Saya’s Vigil Quest instructing players to equip Codex Scanners to their Gear Wheel will now linger on screen until they’ve been equipped.
    • We want to ensure players don’t miss out on important tutorial instructions that are key to progressing in the Quest.
  • Fixed being able to matchmake into public Plains of Eidolon squads while the Saya’s Vigil Quest is active - causing issues with Quest progression.
    • Now players actively in Saya’s Vigil Quest will only load into Solo instances of the Plains of Eidolon to prevent issues from occurring.
    • Additionally, the first Plains of Eidolon Bounty in the Quest will now default to daytime to prevent new players from encountering Eidolons and other higher-level content that is not crucial to completing the stage.

Changes:

• Ivara's Prowl, Loki's Invisibility, Ash's Smoke Screen, and Banshee's Silence will now muffle Parazon finisher sounds (player audio only).
• The Ghoulsaw's idle revving sound will now be muted while you're in the Arsenal.

Fixes:

• Fixed Mirage’s Eclipse deactivating after Void Slinging with the Total Eclipse Augment equipped.
• Fixes towards Circuit mission objectives not starting after Host migration.
  • Known issue: this still occurs when transitioning from Alchemy to Excavation.
• Fixed Clients’ Drifter reverting to their non-Duviri state after a combination of Host migration and Transference when completing a round of the Circuit.
  • This should address cases of players losing large amounts of Standing after dying at the end of a Circuit or Undercroft Stage in this state.
• Fixed the Scourge Prime’s firing sound getting cut off abruptly.
• Fixed text on a certain piece of equipment from The Lotus Eaters Prologue appearing wrong in some languages.
• Fixed Abbreviated Abilities’ description in the Deep Archimedea screen stating 75% duration reduction instead of the updated 50% (this was changed in the Jade Shadows update).

The Lotus Eaters: Hotfix 36.1.6.1

Hey Tenno, got a small hotfix with a big impact. We noticed a rampant amount of error reports from Mirage’s Total Eclipse Augment and we wanted to nab it before it got any worse. Thank you!

Fix:

• Fixed script errors caused by Mirage’s Total Eclipse Augment Mod that could result in Transference issues and/or “Ability In Use” errors.

The Lotus Eaters: Hotfix 36.1.5

Vor’s Prize Quest Changes: We’ve made the following changes to the Spy missions in the Vor’s Prize Quest to help alleviate some of the progress pain points that new players hit.

• Added objective markers to the Vault consoles that unlock the doors, once opened, the objective marker will properly update to the next console needing to be hacked to access the Vault.
  • Previously, the marker would appear behind the locked doors which would lead new players (who are not yet familiar with consoles) to believe that they are unable to progress. Now, the objective markers will guide players to each of the subsequent consoles that need to be interacted with to access the Vault.
  • Also reduced the number of consoles needing to be hacked to access the Vault from 3 to 1.
• The Lotus transmission warning not to avoid triggering alarms will now play after hacking the door to the first Vault instead of while hacking.
  • This transmission playing while hacking was not only distracting, but also not relevant to the player experience and may have them thinking they need to be concerned about alarms while hacking.
• Moved the tutorial message about the Grineer force fields tripping alarms and draining energy if touched higher up the platform and increased its size slightly.
  • Where it was positioned before could lead new players to being hit by the fields since they couldn’t see the warning before entering the danger zone.

Changes:

• Increased the Reactant drop rate in Void Fissure missions by approximately 20%.
  • Being at the end of a Void Fissure mission without enough Reactant to crack your Relic is not an enjoyable experience. We've heard reports of this issue across all mission types, so we're buffing Reactant drop rates across the board to help avoid this happening in the future.
• Added input callout next to the “Use Cipher” button while hacking.
  • Especially useful for our controller players, who may have not been aware that there is a binding to auto-complete hacks and would instead drag the virtual cursor to the button.
• Ivara's Prowl, Loki's Invisibility, Ash's Smoke Screen and Banshee's Silence will now muffle Melee weapon impact and dismemberment sounds (for player audio).
• Optimized some UI animations to appear smoother.

Fixes:

• Fixed Defense Wave counter remaining at “1” in the UI throughout the mission.
• Fixed being unable to enter the Railjack after installing Cephalon Cy during the Rising Tides Quest.
• Fixed Clients being able to clip through walls/terrain (and getting stuck) by spamming Transference while playing as Excalibur Umbra.
• Fixed the button callout to throw Enigma Disc in Duviri showing as “UNBOUND” while holding Melee weapon.
• Fixed being able to damage and knock down Shadow Stalker before activating the Somatic Link in The Second Dream Quest.
• Fixed two “Quest Complete” screens appearing back to back after finishing the A Man of Few Words Quest.
• Fixed a “The Duviri Paradox” Quest Key appearing in the End of Mission screen after completing the Quest itself for those who haven’t reached the Uranus Junction.
• Fixed visual issues with the fade to white transition into the customization moment in The Second Dream Quest.
• Fixed consoles not working after getting pulled away from it while completing hacking (ie. by going into Bleed Out or getting pulled by Ancient/Scorpion).
• Fixed the new in-world VFX identifying the “lower security” area in Netracell missions not appearing for Clients.
• Fixed account login issues for players with a rare issue with their Alliance.
• Fixed capturing a target while riding Merulina causing Yareli to get stuck in an odd animation (at times A posing).

For list of known issues for The Lotus Eaters that require future code changes and or did not make it into this Hotfix, visit our dedicated thread: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1409843-the-lotus-eaters-known-issues/

Changes:

• Increased the visibility of the in-world VFX indicating the “Lower Security” marked zone in Netracell missions.
  • Known issue: The zone VFX does not appear for Clients.
• Updated the “I Decree” Nightwave Act description to indicate that it must be completed within the same Duviri/Circuit mission.
  • Now reads: “Collect 15 Decrees in a single Duviri session, or run of The Circuit”

Fixes:

• Fixed Lethal Levitation’s damage buff not applying to Melee weapons.
  • The description of the Way states that it should grant “additional X% Weapon Damage per Lifted enemy attacked by Operator,” but it was only buffing Primary and Secondary weapons. Since Naramon is primarily Melee focused, it only made sense to apply the bonus to Melee as well.
• Fixed loss of function as a Client when spamming the interact button to move Enigma containers in Duviri.
  • Known issue: There still may be strange animations if the Client tries to spam the interaction while moving around.
• Fixed casting Vauban’s Tesla Nervos on a moving Defense target/platform causing the ability not to work and its sound FX to layer at painful levels (think marbles clanking together at 100 km/h).
• Fixed the objective and waypoint in the Saya’s Vigil Quest not updating to indicate Extraction is available in the “Board Hek’s Galleon” stage if the player took an alternate path to scan the shard.
• Fixed the Tenet Glaxion and Tenet Plinx not counting towards the “Meeting Adjourned” Challenge (Craft a Sisters of Parvos Tenet Weapon).
  • For those affected, we are planning to run a script to mark the Challenge as complete (if you had crafted these Weapons) with the launch of Koumei and The Five Fates update releasing this fall.
• Fixed Kullervo’s Bane description incorrectly listing Envy as a Spiral that Kullervo’s Hold spawns in. It now correctly lists Fear, Anger, and Sorrow.
• Fixed crash that could occur when loading into missions.
• Fixed a rare crash caused by using Sevagoth’s Gloom in a town.

Netracell Changes & Fixes:

• Lowering the security level is now based on kills dealt by players that are within the marked zone, instead of the enemies killed within the marked zone.
  • Players often shared the experience of squadmates killing enemies that are outside of the marked zone. As a way to address this common occurrence, kills now count as long as players are within the zone (even if the enemy dies outside of it).
  • This change has also been applied to the “Kill Infested Close to the Cauldron to infuse it” stage of the Cambion Drift Assassination Bounty - now, players are only required to kill enemies from within the circle instead of needing enemies to be within range.
  • Devshorts watchers may have expected this change with Koumei & The Five Fates update later this year, but this snuck in earlier than planned!
• Added in-world VFX to better communicate to players where the marked zone begins.

  

  • Note: We are looking to increase the visibility of the border, as it is at times difficult to see, especially with an abundance of enemies around.
• Fixed enemies not spawning around the marked zone if a player roams the map far away from the objective, causing halts in mission progress.
• Fixed using a Cipher to hack into the Netracell terminal causing the door not to open, preventing players from beginning the mission.

Changes:

• Made several improvements to Duviri sounds.
• Changed Akarius Prime’s shot sound to be less high-pitched.
• Updated the position of the Ares Helmet on Styanax so that it is rotated slightly lower at the Artist’s request.
  • This also fixes gaps in the mesh from appearing.

Fixes:

• Fixed the following issues with the Saya’s Vigil Quest:
  • Fixed being unable to progress in the Saya’s Vigil Quest after loading into Cetus while in a Squad with a player who had completed it.
    • Since this is intended to be a Solo quest, a popup will now ask you to leave your Squad to begin it.
  • Fixed being unable to replay Saya’s Vigil due to objective markers not appearing.
• Fixed enemies not spawning if Host Migration occurs at the start of an Alchemy mission in the Circuit.
• Fixed being unable to further target enemies with Atlas’ Landslide after they’ve been Petrified and have been ragdolled by Landslide’s 3rd hit.
• Fixed the “Don’t Blow It” (Complete 12 Conduits in Disruption) Nightwave Act not tracking progress for Clients.
• Fixed the Maginav Prime Signa offset being too high on most Warframes.
• Fixed mesh scale of the Corachrix Shoulder Armor when equipped on Banshee’s Voidshell Skin.
• Fixed Lotus’ facial animations jittering during The Lotus Eaters cutscenes.
• Fixed a floating Aggri Formation near the Northwind Village in Duviri.
• Fixed Sevagoth Prime's Shadow Helmet showing as a cosmetic that you do not own in the inbox message received after purchasing Prime Access.
• Fixes towards a crash that occurs in Railjack missions.
• Fixed a crash caused by a combination of Mirage and the Synoid Simulor in the Simulacrum.
• Fixed a script error on SteamDeck caused by interacting with a Loc-Pin after it had been placed.

• Fixed using Transference right as you fall into a Teleport Volume resulting in function loss (being unable to use Abilities, etc).
• Fixed being unable to interact with Necraloid or use Transference in the Sanctum Anatomica immediately after completing The Lotus Eaters Quest.
• Fixed Sevagoth Prime’s Shadow having an entry in the Codex and in Player Profiles.
• Fixed instances of too-dark lighting in the Helminth Room of the Orbiter.
• Fixed a map hole in the Albrecht’s Laboratories tileset.
• Fixed being able to access the Gear Wheel during The Lotus Eaters Quest. There’s a time and place for everything! But not now.
• Fixed elemental FX being applied to the entirety of the Impaktor Fist Skin, instead of just the hitting edge.
• Fixed loss of function if Atlas cast Rumblers with the Rumbled Augment equipped just before dying.
• Fixed a rare crash at the end of The Lotus Eaters Quest.
• Fixed being able to use Fast Travel during the last segment of The Lotus Eaters Quest, resulting in unintended effects.
• Fixed Protector Stalker not dropping Dojo Pigments.

NEW PROLOGUE QUEST: THE LOTUS EATERS

A strange call comes from beyond and must not go unanswered.

Concerned with a strange disturbance in the Man in the Wall's domain, the Lotus bids you to investigate. This kicks off The Lotus Eaters, a short prologue Quest that will set the stage for Warframe: 1999 and the battles yet to come this winter.

Quest Prerequisite

You must complete the Whispers in the Walls Quest to begin The Lotus Eaters Quest from your Codex.

Quest Reward

Answer the call, Tenno.

Share feedback & bug reports on The Lotus Eaters in the dedicated subforum.

SEVAGOTH PRIME ACCESS

The dark helmsman re-emerges, powerful and pristine. With the regality of a dashing naval commander, Sevagoth Prime (and his gilded Shadow) are armed and ready for any encounter — on the high seas, in the Proximas, or beyond.

Sevagoth Prime

The gilded helmsman emerges from the tempest, his shadow a lure for doomed souls.

We’ve also added extra Polarities (more than the typical Prime variant) to Sevagoth Prime, his Shadow Prime and Shadow Claws Prime. Since Sevagoth Prime has two Exalted items we wanted to help reduce the overall Forma needed for him!

• Sevagoth Prime has an additional Naramon Polarity.

• Sevagoth’s Shadow Prime has additional Naramon and Vazarin Polarities.

• Shadow Claws Prime has an additional 3x Madurai Polarities.

Epitaph Prime

Send shivers down your enemies' spines with this wrist-mounted sidearm. As the signature weapon of Sevagoth Prime, it deals additional headshot damage when wielded by him.

Nautilus Prime

This brave deckhand defends his crew with Verglas Prime.

Sevagoth Prime Accessories

• Maginav Prime Signa - Present yourself as an esteemed captain with Sevagoth Prime’s signature Signa.
• Navic Prime Sentinel Bundle
  • Navic Prime Mask
  • Navic Prime Wings
  • Navic Prime Tail
• 90-Day Affinity Booster
• 90-Day Resource Booster

Instantly gain access to Sevagoth Prime Access from the in-game Market or earn Relics in-game to craft Sevagoth Prime, Epitaph Prime and the Nautilus Prime in your Foundry.

Now that Sevagoth Prime Access is available, the following items have been added to the Prime Vault for a future Prime Resurgence rotation. If you have Relics that contain these items they will remain in your Inventory.

• Revenant Prime
• Phantasma Prime
• Tatsu Prime

Riven Disposition Changes:

As with each round of Prime Access come updated Riven Disposition numbers - check the full details here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1409184-august-2024-riven-dispositions/

Sevagoth Fixes:

• Fixed Sevagoth’s Shadow not having its temporary invulnerability on subsequent casts after its initial spawn.
• Fixed Sevagoth Shadow Claws having a Naramon polarity in the Stance slot.
  • Since Shadow Claws’ pre-installed Stance has no polarity, this had no effect on gameplay but the recent changes to polarity modding UI brought this discrepancy to light. Players who rearranged their polarities in the past will not have their polarities fixed.
• Fixed various armor offset issues on the Sevagoth Glaukus Skin.
• Fixed lingering Melee Incarnon Combo VFX while using Sevagoth’s Exalted Shadow.
• Fixed getting teleported outside of the level after being downed as Sevagoth in a Crewship when it explodes during a Railjack mission.

TENNOGEN SHADOWS 3

TennoGen Shadows has been expanded with even more eye-popping creations from the Warframe community's talented artists!

Check out the latest Kuva- and Grineer-themed gear along with a hot new Skin for Styanax and more:

Styanax Ares Skin

A unique skin for the Styanax Warframe, designed by blazingcobalt and Vis.

A unique fist weapon skin designed by Travelling Merchant.

Kuvael Ximitotix Heavy Blade Skin

NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE CHANGES & FIXES

• Increased innate Player Enemy Radar in Open Landscapes from 30m to 80m.
• Waypoint markers will now appear on enemies in certain Open Landscape Bounties when the following conditions are met. The intention of these markers is to offer players assistance when they are having difficulty with the Bounty!
  • Exterminate Bounty: when 2 minutes remain.
  • Defend an Area: when Control Level falls below 30%.
  • Supply Sabotage: Carrier enemy is marked with 3 or fewer enemies remaining.
• Made the following changes to lower-level missions to offer more engaging combat. Our goal is to strike a balance between not being too punishing, but also encouraging players to adopt behaviors that will help them take on harder content -- ie. not just standing still and shooting folks.
  • Increased enemy spawns on Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Phobos, Ceres, and Jupiter (base version only, Steel Path remains the same).
  • Increased accuracy of Grineer and Corpus enemies below level 55.
  • Adjusted Grineer Trooper behavior to work more closely within their effective weapon range.
  • Increased base damage multiplier for Grineer and Corpus, but amended how it scales to compensate. The goal is to make them hit harder at lower levels, but keep things the same for higher difficulty content.
• Reduced the amount of enemy spawns around the Spy Vault during the Vox Solaris Quest to make that section a bit less difficult for new players.
  • This level reduction has also been applied to Venus Spy missions below level 20.
• Players are now unable to play regular missions during the Vor’s Prize Quest. This prioritizes the tutorial missions and reduces confusion on what nodes they should be playing -- ie. the only one available to them will be the next mission in this Quest!
  • Once players have completed Vor’s Prize, the nodes they have unlocked will become accessible once more.
• Improved the flow of the Saya’s Vigil Quest as follows:
  • Integrated Konzu’s “Prove Yourself” Bounty into Saya’s Vigil Quest instead of players needing to complete it and then initiate the Quest. The Tenno Guide will now take players to Cetus to talk to Konzu to streamline the process.
  • Improved waypoints and objective text to clarify next steps for players.
  • Removed “Refuse” voice line option when talking to Saya, as players can simply leave Cetus if they do not want to continue. Selecting it would require them to reload Cetus if they wanted to proceed.
  • Accepting Saya’s Quest will now direct players to walk through the Cetus doors instead of immediately teleporting them out into the Plains of Eidolon. This reinforces expected behavior of how to enter the Plains from Cetus once the Quest is complete.
  • Changed Vendor icons on the Cetus Map to white instead of yellow to contrast them from Quest objectives.
• Changed Excavation waypoints and objective text as follows to better explain mission mechanics:
  • Once Extraction becomes available, the Extraction waypoint marker now remains completely visible for the remainder of the mission. “Get to Extraction” is now the Main Objective once players have completed one dig, with “Complete Additional Excavations” listed below it as a Bonus Objective.

    

    • For players who are learning this game mode, this ensures they know when and how they can leave. Experienced players will know to stick around for additional digs, if they wish!
    • Also rearranged “Digs Completed” HUD element to be below a new “Excavation” header to make room for the Bonus Objective text.
  • Updated mission transmissions to better explain mission mechanics and added additional hint transmissions.
• Fixed players being teleported to the end of the Bullet Jump tutorial in the Awakening Quest if they fall into a certain teleport volume. Now they will be teleported to the start of the section they failed so they can re-attempt it!
• Fixed the Necramech at the end of the Heart of Deimos Quest being a regular Necramech instead of the Quest-specific boss.
  • Also increased the overall health and tankiness of this foe.
• Fixed Caches in the Vox Solaris Quest not being properly embedded in the ground.
• Fixed enemies spawned during the Captain Vor fight in the Vor’s Prize Quest being level 10 instead of 3 (to match mission level).

Additions:

• Added a 100 x Air Support Blueprint Recipe to the Tenno Lab in your Clan Dojo!
• Added an In Memoriam shrine to honor a Digital Extremes Tenno.

Changes:

• Increased the number of Forma Blueprints earned from Uncommon Void Relic rewards from 1 to 2.
  • This was a common request from the community, now made reality!
• Reduced Steel Path Mirror Defense incursion waves from 5 to 2.
• Updated all Mining Tool descriptions to include “Travel far from Hub settlements for the best chance of mining rare minerals”.

  • High importance gameplay-related sounds will no longer have any muffling applied to them when these abilities are in-use.
• Removed the ability to donate Duviri Orbiter Decorations to the Dojo if a Dojo Decoration recipe also exists for that item.
  • This was causing certain Dojos to be inaccessible if they marked a room containing the Duviri Orbiter Decoration variant for destruction.
  • Affected Duviri Orbiter Decorations in Clan Vaults have been replaced with appropriate resources to build the Dojo Recipe. Placed Duviri Orbiter Decorations in Dojos have been swapped to the Dojo Decoration variant as well.
• Bundles containing color palettes will now list included the item as "[Name] Color Palette" on-hover to help clarify pack contents.
• Adjusted the audio mix on the Tenet Glaxion.
• Players can now interact with their parked Landing Crafts in the Chrysalith to leave the Hub, just like in Relays.
• Reworked Mission 2 of the Duviri Paradox Quest to remove its tutorial elements, and added a small introduction to the Tales of Duviri book.
  • Since the Duviri Paradox was initially designed as an alternative starting point for new players, its early missions included various tutorial elements for Warframe gameplay. These are no longer necessary due to the Quest now being locked behind the Uranus Junction as of 36.0.8.
• Added more space between subtitles and UI options lists so that they don’t overlap.
• Changed the button on unowned equipment in the Arsenal from “Purchase” to “View Details” to clarify that it will take you to its Market page instead of inferring that it will be purchased upon selecting that button.

• Fixed using Transference rapidly while flying into a wall in Titania's Razorwing causing players to become invincible.
  • Also fixes the camera disconnecting from player if the pause menu is opened during this state.

Cross Platform Save Changes:

Last month we added a change to Cross Platform Save which affected purchased items on Linked Accounts. Players reported to us that in rare situations, some of the intended items were not being transferred as we said they should be. We have narrowed down the cause of this and included a fix for all future Account Links in this Hotfix. We will be running a script to fix this for any affected players soon and will update the original post once it is completed.

New Player Experience Changes:

• Moved The Duviri Paradox Quest as a reward for completing Vor’s Prize to the Saturn to Uranus Junction.
  • As we continue to add to our Main Story path with Warframe 1999, our team is focused on improving the New Player Experience and removing points of confusion in a player’s journey. We added Duviri in 2023 as an alternative tutorial for players -- after reviewing player behavior, it was moved behind Vor’s Prize in Echoes of Duviri. With more player feedback under our belts, we have made the decision to move player access to this story behind the Uranus Junction. As a team, we’re dedicated to experimenting and expanding Warframe’s weirdness, but player experience is king above all else!
  • If you had already unlocked this Quest prior to this Hotfix (i.e. completed Vor’s Prize), you will still have access to it regardless of your Junction completion.
• Made improvements to the Saya’s Vigil Quest to help address moments where players would get confused or be uncertain how to proceed.
  • Added waypoint markers to the Glass Shards in the Plains of Eidolon to help players more easily find and scan them.
  • Improved waypoint placement and increased the opacity of the glass window upon approaching the Vault to make the path to the Shard clearer to players in the Hek’s Galleon mission.
  • Updated various Objective descriptions to better explain expected player actions and added a waypoint to the Elevator into the Vault in the Hek’s Galleon mission.

Changes:

• Jade Light Eximus will now no longer ramp up their damage against Defense Targets, Excavators, Rescue Targets, etc.
  • They will now deal a flat 100 damage per tick.
• Players who have sealed 100+ Thermia Fractures will now see “ALL REWARDS COLLECTED” instead of the list of reward tiers for the Thermia Fractures event in their World State Window.
  • This change removes unnecessary clutter from this screen, making room for more relevant information to be displayed at the front of the Orbiter!
• Changed AX-52’s Critical Chance headshot mechanic to Stacked Multiply instead of Add when applying the Critical Chance buff.
  • This addresses unintended interactions with Abilities such as Xata’s Whisper.
  • Also updated the Unique Trait description to better communicate the end result of this Critical Chance headshot mechanic. The buff effectiveness has actually increased very slightly, but players should expect similar results overall.
    • Was: Aimed Headshots have +100% Critical Chance.
    • Now: Aimed Headshots have +400% Critical Chance.

Fixes:

• Fixed Melee Incarnons not displaying Incarnon charging UI for Clients with Melee Retaliation equipped.
• Fixed being unable to see a Clan Applicant’s message when requesting to join a Clan via the Clan Advertisement system.
• Fixed entering Bleedout (instead of the intended Spectral form) with Dagath’s Grave Spirit active if the fatal blow dealt Blast damage.
• Fixed the Fluctus not benefiting from the “Fire Manual Trigger Weapons Continuously” toggle in the Accessibility settings.
• Fixed one of Ember Heirloom’s sleeves appearing darker than the other.
• Fixed Archons in Archon Hunts not using their proper Narmer Weaknesses/Resistances.
  • As a refresher, here are the Narmer vulnerabilities/resistances:
    • Vulnerable to Slash and Toxin
    • Resistant to Magnetic
  • The Archons in The New War Quest remain neutral since you don’t know what the “Narmer” faction is until the near end of the Quest, and therefore wouldn’t be able to plan for them given that you are locked into the Quest once started.
• Fixed an issue where Kullervo’s Wrathful Advance could collide with and get stuck on Guardian Shell.
• Fixed the Arcane Boiler not spawning in the “Arcane Machine” mission of the Stolen Dreams Quest as reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1406669-arcane-boiler-doesnt-spawn-at-the-end-of-stolen-dreams/
• Fixed Nikanas equipped with Blind Justice not being able to do default Finishers.
• Fixed cursor in the Duviri Hacking Puzzle being positioned slightly below the line instead of directly on it as intended.
• Fixed rare chance that Clients experience performance issues caused by the Ghost Mirror objective in Duviri.
• Fixed Jade firing from her feet in Glory on High if players had subsumed over Ophanim Eyes.
• Fixed Maggot diorama in Codex missing its textures.
• Fixed Railjack enemy outlines being misaligned with custom HUD scaling.
• Fixed a small hitch when selecting the Zephyr Harrier Collection in the Market.
• Fixed Loid’s hair being too dark in the Sanctum Anatomica.
• Fixed Dominus Thrax’s head in the Duviri skybox not updating to reflect the current Spiral for clients.
• Fixed Dog Days enemies being unable to target players if they stand on a certain section of the tile.
• Fixed enemies clipping into the wall when hiding beside a certain locker in the Grineer Galleon tileset.
• Fixed unintended popping sound when reloading the Corinth Prime.
• Fixed various map holes in the Grineer Galleon Defense tile.
• Fixed being able to see through the map in a section of the Orb Vallis.
• Fixed performance issues caused by Energy Leech Eximus.
• Fixed script errors caused by Look and Mod Link.
• Fixed script error caused by the Mod preview window.

THANK YOU, TENNO!

We cannot believe TennoCon 2024 has come to an end. We are so happy to have been able to host you again in our home city and to have shared the experience On-Lyne (heh) with those of you watching from around the world. Thank you, Tenno, truly. There is still so much more to come this year, we look forward to sharing more of what the team has been cooking up!

Today’s Hotfix is small but has some key things we’d like to get out before the team takes a moment to recoup. We are also heating things up with the return of Dog Days!

DOG DAYS RETURNS ON ALL PLATFORMS @ 1:30 PM ET

Dog Days is returning today! It’ll be going live shortly after this Hotfix, we just need to make sure everything is clear post-Hotfix before turning it on.

Take a stand on the sand and get your Soaktron ready to rumble… Dog Days is back for another seasonal seaside slobberknocker! Kela De Thaym has the beach arena primed for mayhem, so grab your inner tube and let the Lob Blobs fly.

Complete four limited-time Tactical Alerts to earn new Rewards, Credits and Nakak Pearls that you can use to trade for items in Nakak’s exclusive Dog Days offerings, found in her Beach Toys stock on Cetus.

This iteration of Dog Days also features Nakak Pearl awards for Assists - read on for more details!

NEW REWARDS

In addition to returning favorites, like Captura Scenes and the Soaktron Rifle Skin, new rewards have arrived with a splash!

Hellshell Domestik Drone

A new Domestik Drone is also available to earn from Mission 4 of the Tactical Alerts, ready to give your dirty Orbiter floors Hell!

Community Dog Days Glyphs

These Glyphs featuring Grendel, Lavos, Voruna, and Yareli were created by community artist CheruuAx!

Dropkick Drahk Sigil and Emblem

You know what The Drahk is cooking.

HOW TO PLAY

From Navigation, select the Dog Days Tactical Alert missions under the Event tab to be transported to a tropical arena that shifts from day to night. The Dog Day’s arena is a water munitions-only zone, which means there are no Mods, Buffs (Invigorations and Archon shards), Companions, or Abilities. Winning a match comes down to who can drench the opposing team the most (Tenno vs. Grineer) before the timer runs out.

If your Soaktron runs out of water you can refill it by passing through water refill stations dotted around the map. Another thing you will find at some of these stations are Lob Blobs!

Nakak Pearl Rebalancing and Rewards from Assists

The only thing that grinds Tenno gears more than Executioner Garesh are kill steals in Dog Days. Those woes are hopefully a thing of the past with these new Nakak Pearl Rebalancing changes.

These changes apply specifically to Mission 4 of Dog Days:

• All Kills now reward 2 Nakak Pearls.
• Players who helped kill an enemy (but didn’t strike the final blow) will now earn 1 Nakak Pearl per Assist.

To balance out the increased number of Pearls from Kills and Assists, Mission 4’s rewards have been reduced from 50 to 30 Nakak Pearls. (note: this does not apply to the first-time completion reward of 100 Pearls for Mission 4).

The overall change results in more Nakak Pearls for active players, and hopefully increased Nakak Pearls acquisition as a whole!

Tactical Alerts

Each Tactical Alert mission rewards the following once completed. We have also increased the amount of Nakak Pearls earned per mission compared to previous appearances!

• Mission 1: Suplex Kubrow Glyph + 50,000 Credits + 25 Nakak Pearls
• Mission 2: Dog Days War Display + 50,000 Credits + 50 Nakak Pearls
• Mission 3: Dropkick Drahk Emblem + 50,000 Credits + 75 Nakak Pearls
• Mission 4*: Hellshell Domestik Drone + 50,000 Credits + 100 Nakak Pearls

*Replaying Mission 4 earns you Nakak Pearls for each enemy you soak to smithereens, and now also for assists.

Nakak Pearls can be exchanged at Nakak in Cetus for extra Rewards, including Floofs, Captura Scenes, and more.

NAKAK’S BEACH TOYS

Visit Nakak in Cetus, Earth and select the “Beach Toys” option to view all she has to offer to trade for your hard earned Nakak Pearls!

New:

• Dropkick Drahk Sigil
• Community Dog Days Grendel Glyph
• Community Dog Days Lavos Glyph
• Community Dog Days Voruna Glyph
• Community Dog Days Yareli Glyph
• Ride The Wave Glyph
• Ride The Wave Poster
• Noggle Statue - Yareli and Merulina

A new “Seasonal” tab in the in-game Market has also arrived, which features Dog Days items available for purchase! This tab will appear in the future whenever Seasonal items become available.

Keep those dogs cool and rock’em soak’em, Tenno!!

Changes:

• Lowered the default height position of the Ember Heirloom Signa.
  • We received feedback that it was sitting too high above your Warframes, so we’ve moved it down to give you more flexibility using the Y Offset slider.

Fixes:

• Fixed being unable to chat link the Akmagnus Prime.
  • Known issue: Its Blueprints are still not linkable, we will be resolving this in a future Hotfix/Update.

Fixes:

• We have seen a Script Error occurring since the last Hotfix that was causing players to crash when using in-game chat. This Hotfix fixes that Script Error to prevent crashing.

Happy TennoCon day, Tenno! We’ve got a full day of events whether you’re attending in person or watching from home. Learn more about what’s happening today including schedule, Giveaways & Drops, TennoCon Digital Pack, and so much more over at the TennoCon 2024 official page. We’re so excited to be with the community once again to share our love of the game and reveal what’s next for Warframe!

While we are calling this a Hotfix, it is actually a Cert update. What this means is that it will appear and download like a typical update.

Ember Prime & Rhino Prime Resurgence Return at 11 AM ET

Ember Prime will also be making a return in Prime Resurgence today at 11 AM ET alongside her tanky compatriot, Rhino Prime. Visit Varzia to add her smoldering splendor to your Arsenal!

Changes:

New Player Experience Improvements:

• Upon completing the Vor’s Prize Quest players will now receive an Inbox message with the Burston Blueprint and the resources required to craft it (with the exception of Ferrite which players will be able to acquire in the early Planet missions).
  • The goal here is to encourage and familiarize players with crafting in the Foundry, as it is an important part of your journey through Warframe (with the added bonus of a free weapon of course!).
• Made several improvements to the flow and various movement tutorials in the Awakening Quest to reinforce intended behavior.
  • Ex: The wall run tutorial of the Awakening Quest now has a ghost Excalibur that shows players where to go.
• Removed Kubrow spawns in Awakening Quest, so as to not distract the Grineer from their main target: the Tenno Skoom!
• Added “Saya’s Vigil” in parentheses to Konzu’s “A Personal Favor” option to better indicate that that’s how you start the Quest.
• Added popup when opening the in-game Market for the first time to introduce new players to it.
  • It reads: “Welcome to the Market! Here, you can buy items using Credits earned in missions or Platinum obtained through purchases. Use Credits to acquire Blueprints and craft items in your Foundry, or gain instant access with Platinum. Hover over Build requirements on an item’s Market page to learn how to acquire it through gameplay.”

General:

• Helminth Coalescent and Helminth Invigoration Segments can no longer be built in the Foundry without the Helminth Segment installed in your Orbiter.
  • As these Segments cannot be used without the Helminth unlocked, it is only confusing to players if they build it beforehand.
• Re-enabled the “Change Loadout” controller input in the Navigation menu.
  • This input automatically drags the virtual cursor to the new Arsenal UI Element where you can customize your loadout to your heart’s content!
• Scans for the Shadow Stalker and Protector Stalker will now count as scans for his previously-unlocked variants, if not already fully scanned.
  • Ex: Scans for the Protector Stalker will now also contribute scans for Stalker and Shadow Stalker, if they are not already fully scanned.
  • This addresses players having issues earning scans for earlier-game Stalker variants as they progress through the Main Story.
• Updated the Jade, Cantare, Harmony, and Evensong location descriptions to indicate that Ordis is found in the Drifter Camp now that Operation: Belly of the Beast has concluded.
• Added Unique Trait descriptions to the Quatz and the Catabolyst to their Upgrade screens.
  • Quatz: “Uses Auto firing when hip-firing, and Burst firing mode when aiming. Reloading from empty deals an Electricity Status Effect to nearby enemies.”
  • Catabolyst: “Throws a Corrosive grenade when reloading. Reloading from an empty magazine throws a larger grenade with increased Damage, Critical Chance and Status Chance.”
• Adjusted Jade’s Glory on High SFX as follows:
  • Reduced the volume of the chorus SFX while Jade is in motion. The chorus sound also no longer plays while Jade is stationary.
  • Players will no longer hear the Glory on High chorus SFX from Jades in their squad.
• Changed Shivering Contagion’s Cold Status spread chance scaling with Mod Ranks, up to 100% at Rank 5.
  • Shivering Contagion was intended to give 5% per mod rank, reaching 30% chance at max rank. However, it was erroneously giving 50% per rank, reaching the maximum possible effect of 100% at Rank 1. Instead of reverting the mod to its original intended values, we have made it so that it can still reach 100% chance, but now requires the mod to be at max rank to get this guaranteed benefit. Here’s exactly what’s changed stats wise:
    • Previous intended spread chance per rank: 5/10/15/20/25/30
    • Bugged/Unintentional spread chance per rank (as explained above): 50/100/100/100/100
    • New spread chance per rank: 17/33/50/67/84/100
  • Updated its description to make it clearer that it activates when the Cold Status Effect is applied.
    • Now reads: “On Cold Status Effect: 100% chance to spread that status to other enemies within 6m”.
• Made visual updates to Corpus control booth structures.

Fixes:

Ascension Fixes:

• Fixes towards projectiles phasing through the Ascension elevator while it's in motion.
• Fixed Boosted Ionic Charges incorrectly giving 20s of boost time if the elevator was not boosted.
  • Now all Boosted Ionic Charges grant 10s of increased speed, up to the cap of 50s for stacked charges.
• Fixed the Sister Beacon side objective UI disappearing after a Host Migration.
• Fixed Capsule not locking into elevator if Host migration occurs just before it docks - causing the mission to come to a halt.
• Fixed remaining Sister Beacons not depawning after collecting the required 3.
• Fixed a crash related to the first stage of Ascension missions.
• Fixed a crash in Ascension missions.

General Fixes:

• Fixed Jade Light Eximus targeting players with their Jade Light ability before they had been engaged in combat.
• Fixed Shockprod and Stunna fishing spears causing a loss of function.
  • With this fix we re-added the ability to aim-down-sights for all fishing spears. As a refresher, this was removed as a workaround for the Shockprod and Stunna function loss.
  • Also fixed Melee attacking while Fishing clearing the custom fishing menu (i.e. baits, etc.).
• Fixed Mag’s “Greedy Pull” not collecting pickups (ex: Endo).
  • With this fix, we have restored Greedy Pull’s LoS check back to render. In Hotfix 36.0.3, we had reverted it back temporarily to raycast to allow the ability to still pull pickups instead of not at all since the full fix required Code (which is in this Hotfix!).
• Fixed cases of Melee Heavy Attack input not registering.
  • Also added the ability for Tennokai attacks to interrupt “not quite started” quick attacks.
• Fixed Hildryn being unable to cast Ember’s Fire Blast Helminth ability.
• Fixed Dagath’s Rakhali’s Cavalry not requiring enemies to be afflicted with Doom in order to apply armor strip.
• Fixed throwing the Ebisu Spear at a fallen Gravid Blastema resulting in loss of function.
• Fixed Overguard preventing players from parrying.
• Fixed Melee-based foes no longer attacking while in Frost’s Snow Globe.
• Fixed Wisp being unable to teleport to her Reservoirs after entering an Open Landscape mission from its respective town (ex: the Plains of Eidolon accessed via Cetus).
• Fixed being able to equip both the Primed Deadly Efficiency and Deadly Efficiency Mods at the same time.
  • However, with this fix, you will now be able to equip Parallax Scope with Deadly Efficiency.
• Fixes towards the Plasma Torch and regular shots dealing less damage than intended to the Narmer Scyto Raknoid in the Break Narmer “Sneaky Sabotage” mission.
• Fixed new player accounts having the incorrect default HUD scale.
• Fixed dying in the Undercroft resulting in the player having extra Decrees and Decree Rerolls upon returning to the Duviri landscape.
  • Also fixed cases of Drifters having “Guiding Hand” equipped as a weapon.
• Fixed equipping the Awlspawn Syandana changing Ember’s default Energy colors.
• Fixed Citrine’s Prex Card lying flat on the side in its diorama in Otak’s offerings.
• Fixed sub factions not appearing on nodes in the Star Chart that have multiple missions active.
• Fixed music overlapping in The Second Dream Quest intro cinematic.
• Fixed male Drifters having bright tear ducts.
• Fixed projectile-based Archguns being unable to damage Murmur Sarcophages.
• Fixed the “Decorate Dormizone” option being available in the Quick Access wheel without owning the Vista Suite Key.
  • This is because the Quick Access option will take you to the door to enter the Vista Suite, but without the key you are unable to access it.
• Fixed various Focus abilities showing the stat name in between

Ascension Changes & Fixes:

• Elevator speed boost time from Boosted Ionic Charges now stack when throwing multiple at the Extraction Capsule at once (up to a max of 50 seconds).
  • The elevator UI has also been updated to indicate the speed boosts and duration. You can now more clearly see how Ionic Charges affect the elevator.
• Fixed Ordis’ “Uplift” Bullet Jump distance buff in Ascension missions overriding players' Parkour upgrades instead of applying additively.
• Fixed being able to pick up multiple Ionic Charges in Ascension missions, effectively deleting the one that was already in your hand.
  • Now these will act like Alchemy Ampoules. You will not be able to pick up Ionic Charges with one already in-hand - unless you are trying to pick up a different type (i.e. normal Ionic Charge vs Boosted Ionic Charge).
• Fixed End of Mission screen not showing Arcanes earned from defeating Sisters of Parvos in the special mode available at Ordis.
  • This was a UI-only issue - the Arcanes were still being properly delivered to inventory.
• Fixed Ascension mission not ending once the Capsule reached Extraction due to On Call Crew Specters.
• Fixed elevator moving downwards after Host migration.
• Fixed Clients not receiving the Jade Prex Card in their inventory after picking it up in the Ascension tile.
• Fixed a hole in the upper level of the Ascension tile.
• Fixed a script error caused by Sister of Parvos’ Magnetize ability.
• Fixed a small floating box near the extraction area in the Ascension tile.
• Fixed a rare crash caused by the Ionic Charges.

Changes:

• Drastically reduced VFX from Blast Procs to address performance issues.
  • This is a temporary change in response to reports of crashes and overall performance issues. Unfortunately this does not fix the issue completely, but it should help improve the situation until it can be addressed properly in a Cert update.
• You can now replay the Jade Shadows Quest!
  • We’ve been absolutely loving your reactions to the Quest and wanted you to be able to enjoy it all over again. Go to the Codex > Quests > Select Jade Shadows > Select the “Replay” button.
  • Friendly reminder of the Spoiler Courtesy when sharing anything regarding the Quest. On that note, replaying the Quest will skip the choice scene at the end (the choice made in the first playthrough is maintained).
• Changed Frost’s “Icy Avalanche” Augment Mod (stats shown at Max Rank) to improve its Overguard capacities:
  • Now: Allies within Affinity Range are coated with ice that grants 60 Overguard per enemy hit. Overguard increases by 20% of your Armor once per enemy.
  • Previous: Coat nearby allies with ice that grants Overguard and absorbs 60 damage per enemy hit.
• Selecting a sorting option for the Star Chart Loadout UI will carry over to all equipment.
  • For example, selecting to sort by “Forma Count” in the Warframe selection screen will also apply to Weapons, Companions, etc.
• Changed the name of “Bane of Corrupted” Mods to “Bane of Orokin” to match their new faction name that was released with the Resistances and Status Rework in the Jade Shadows update.
• Jade’s Prex Card and the Displays earned from the Jade Shadows Quest can now be chat linked.
  • We had these disabled for launch since they were spoilers for the Jade Shadows Quest. Now that we’ve re-enabled it, please be mindful of spoiling the Quest for other players.
• When previewing Warframes in the Arsenal they will now play their own Noble Animation set instead of the default set.
  • If you already have a different animation set selected it will not replace it - but in the case where no animation set has been selected yet, their Noble Animation set will auto-equip upon selecting the Warframe. You can set it back to the default using the new “None” option in the Animation list.
• As noted in Hotfix 36.0.3, Jade’s Universal Polarity has been restored to its intended slot for players who had swapped it.
• Made optimizations to UI texture streaming.
• Improved the Grimoire’s reticle so that it is more centered and increases the reticle dot to better match other reticles.
• Reduced the intensity/noise of the VFX behind Warframe when selecting Energy colors in Arsenal.
• Added more SFX to Jade’s Idle animations.
• Updated Ember’s Fireball ability preview video to showcase its new version from the Jade Shadow’s update.
• Toned down the hit VFX when attacking the top of the Jade Light Eximus beam.
• The Stalker that appears after completing the Jade Shadows Quest now has his own unique name (similar to Shadow Stalker) “Protector Stalker”.
  • Fixed post-Jade Shadows Stalker having the incorrect drop tables. This fixes the issue of players being unable to get the War/Broken War Drops from Stalker post-Quest.
  • Known issue: Post-Jade Shadows Protector Stalker has a missing icon and incorrect diorama in the Codex. This will be fixed in a future Hotfix/Update.

Fixes:

• Fixed Ash’s Blade Storm not triggering Arcanes with the “On Finisher Kill” condition (i.g. Arcane Trickery, etc.).
• Fixed Client detonated Glaives not damaging enemies if the “Fire Manual Trigger Weapons Continuously” setting is toggled on.
  • Also fixes Host and Clients not seeing the affected Client’s Glaive Prime being thrown.
• Fixed Qorvex’s “Wrecking Wall” Augment triggering (to restart the duration of Chyrinka Pillars) even if no enemies are hit by Containment Wall.
• Fixes towards Mag’s “Greedy Pull” not collecting pickups (ex: Endo).
  • Seeing as we cannot fix this without Code, we have temporarily reverted the Augment’s LoS check from render (which was introduced in Hotfix 35.5.6) back to raycast. This may result in issues of loot not being Pulled due to slight variances in elevation, but it fixes the issues of pickups being ignored by the Augment. We will return the LoS check back to render in the next Cert update.
• Fixed being unable to shoot/regenerate ammo the Tenet Plinx after alt-firing while it is regenerating ammo.
• Fixed the subsumed version of Jade’s Ophanim Eyes not actually having the eyes present on cast (this was a visual only bug).
• Fixed performance issues caused by Jade’s Ophanim Eyes VFX not despawning.
• Fixed Frost’s Snow Globe and Hound’s Null Audit Precept (when stealing Arctic Eximus bubbles) unintentionally doubling weapon Critical Hit Damage when shooting through it.
• Fixed Sevagoth’s Sow (with and without the Dark Propagation Augment) not applying to lifted enemies.
• Fixed Ordis’ Operation store being available in Drifter Camp after talking to Kahl.
  • Worth noting that once Operation: Belly of the Beast ends, Ordis will relocate to the Drifter Camp and offer his wares there.
• Fixed losing function after opening the Arsenal from the quick access wheel while in the Sanctum Anatomica.
• Fixed Hildryn’s Balefire quickfire Attack Speed being increased when the “Fire Manual Trigger Weapons Continuously” setting is toggled on.
• Fixed Wukong’s “Monkey Luck” passive buff working on enemies that are immune to loot abilities.
• Fixed purchasing something from the “Complete the Look” in the Community Customizations screen removing all other options from the menu.
• Fixed being unable to sell Jade from Inventory.
• Fixed the order of Kitgun Components not being consistent in the Arsenal description (intended to be ordered top to bottom Chamber, Loader and Grip).
• Fixed a random white sphere appearing in the level during the “Anything But That” stage of the Jade Shadows Quest.
• Fixed Ally Highlight appearing on Operator in Jade Shadows Quest cinematics.
• Fixed being unable to search for Platinum Packs in the in-game Market.
• Fixed Jade’s Glory on High ability SFX ducking level music.

• Fixed PH tags in the damage section of the Codex training tab.
• Fixed PH tag in Storm Caller’s HUD buff description.
• Fixed PH tag in the Rain of Vitality’s Decree HUD buff description.
  • It is however still missing translations - this will be fixed in a future Hotfix/Update.
• Fixed a crash caused by Finishers.
• Fixed a script error caused by using Frost’s Freeze to shatter Snow Globe.
• Fixed several script errors caused by Frost’s Snow Globe.

Additions:

• Added Wisp Prime’s Theme to Varzia’s Prime Resurgence Offerings for Aya.

Changes:

• Improved the accuracy of Frost’s Freeze projectile when cast within Snow Globe.
• Temporarily disabled Aiming Down Sights on fishing spears to prevent a soft-lock issue.
  • The full fix for this issue requires Code for a future update, so for the time being we have done the above to ensure that players going through Quests with fishing stages are able to complete them without getting stuck.
• Removed a certain jump pad in the Ascension mission as it was yeeting players into a pipe along the wall (BONK).
• Improved the help tips in the Upgrade screen to be, well, more helpful!
• Made small edits to the prerequisites text in the Codex for the Vox Solaris and Heart of Deimos Quests.
• Updated Damage type icons in Status Damage tooltips to their colored version.
• Turned down the SFX volume of the Enlightened Hate Skin.

• Fixed Jade’s Aureolt Helmet not opening and closing.
• Fixed Jade Light Eximus’ light beam attack doing significantly more damage after Hotfix 36.0.2.
• Fixed Sevagoth’s “Shadow Haze” Critical Chance not scaling with Ability Strength.
  • For players that weren’t building around Ability Strength, this made it appear as if even its base 50% Critical Chance wasn’t applying. Now that scaling has been fixed, you can mod to increase that Crit Chance beyond 50%.
• Fixed being unable to rank up with the Cavia after earning Standing from Netracell missions when already at max for the current rank.
  • If you were affected by this bug, you should be able to rank up now!
• Fixed being able to swap Jade’s Universal Polarity from her Aura Slot onto another slot.
  • We’ll be reverting the moved Universal Polarity back to its intended spot in a future Hotfix.

  • You will need to either manually swap out the Riven Mod or duplicate the Config again for the correct Riven to replace the unintended Veiled Riven.
• Fixed reviving on the elevator in Ascension missions taking longer than usual.
• Fixed sprinting during Voruna’s Ulfrun's Descent not increasing her movement speed.
  • Also fixes her losing her custom animation and doing a standard walk.
• Fixed Manifold Bond triggering from Status damage instead of from killing enemies as intended.
• Fixed equipped Dragon Keys impacting Stalker in the Jade Shadows Quest.
• Fixed low enemy spawn rate in Circuit Alchemy missions (they should now be more in line with Excavation and Survival).
• Fixed a map hole in the Juggernaut Behemoth’s arena in the Jade Shadows Quest.
• Fixed the Relay Quick Access wheel having infinite slots.
  • This was causing lil ol’ Ordis in the Larunda Relay to be placed in the very last slot, making it hard to find him since he wasn’t visible upon opening the menu - but he is now!
• More fixes towards immediately getting stuck on a railing after loading into an Ascension mission through Ordis at the Larunda Relay.
• Fixed Jade’s Prex Card pick-up context action being visible to players who don’t have a max rank Jade.

For those who purchased the Lavos Yersin Skin between Jade Shadows’ release and Hotfix 36.0.1 and were missing its custom Shoulder Guards, they have been sent to your account. You may need to manually equip them in the Arsenal in order for them to appear.

Changes:

• Changed the name of the “Shotgun Cannonade” Mod to “Semi-Shotgun Cannonade” to match the naming standard of the other Semi-Trigger Cannanade Mods that were released in Jade Shadows.

• Fixed the Secondary Fortifier Arcane overwriting existing Overguard values if they are over the Arcane’s 15k cap.
• Fixed performance issues occurring during the first cutscene of the Jade Shadows Quest.
• Fixed the duration of Protea’s Blaze Artillery being slightly reduced when it is not firing.

• Fixed immediately getting stuck on a railing after loading into an Ascension mission through Ordis at the Larunda Relay.

We hope you’ve been enjoying Jade Shadows, Tenno! Friendly reminder of the Spoiler Courtesy when sharing anything regarding the Quest.

Changes:

• When Companion Hounds steal an Arctic Eximus’ Shield with Null Audit, the shield will no longer block friendly projectiles (similar to Frost’s Snow Globe).
• The Juggernaut will now use its stomp ability if it detects perception actions from invisible players (ex: shooting while invisible in Ash’s Smoke Screen).
  • This applies to all versions of the Juggernaut, including the Juggernaut Behemoth.
• Added the following prerequisites to the Vox Solaris and Heart of Deimos Quests in the Codex.
  • Vox Solaris - “Reach Fortuna (Venus) on the Star Chart”
  • Heart of Deimos - “Reach Cambion Drift (Deimos) on the Star Chart”

Fixes:

Ascension & Operation: Belly of the Beast Fixes

• Fixed Operation: Belly of the Beast missions not using the intended Ascension Drop Tables (which you can view in our public drop tables).

NEW CINEMATIC QUEST: JADE SHADOWS

Struggling to understand the oldest and deepest secret from his past, Stalker finds himself allied with sworn enemies on the troubling road toward uncovering the truth… and averting an incalculable loss.

Spoiler Courtesy

Jade Shadows contains significant spoilers for Warframe! To ensure that all Tenno enjoy the best possible experience, we ask that you allow others to complete the Quest at their own pace, and to please be kind by avoiding spoiling it for others.

If you’d like to discuss or share anything related to the Quest after playing (and we certainly expect that you will), please use spoiler tags so everyone can experience it as intended.

Here’s how you can use spoiler tags/warnings to share your experience without impacting others:

• Use “Spoiler” warnings on any content pertaining to the Ques. This includes social posts, live streams, videos, Capturas, Fan Art, Etc.

Quest Prerequisites

You must have completed The New War Quest in order to play the Jade Shadows Quest. The Quest will become available from your Codex once you have done so.

Quest Commitment & Duration

Similar to The New War Quest, once you commit to beginning Jade Shadows you will be unable to do other Warframe activities for the duration of the Quest. You will be able to pause the game, and your progress will be saved between missions. It is roughly a ~30 minute experience, perhaps faster for seasoned Tenno!

Content warning: This quest contains scenes of trauma related to motherhood.

Jade’s Abilities

Passive: The Anointed

Jade’s profound understanding of the relationship between life and death grants her two Aura Mod Slots. Some of her Abilities apply Judgments, increasing enemy damage vulnerability by 50% for 10s.

Ability 1: Light’s Judgment

Create a well of light that heals allies and hurts enemies. Those who enter the well will be highlighted by Judgment.

Light’s Judgment is Jade’s Railjack Kinesis ability.

Cycle through three songs that strengthen allies. Extend the duration of each song by killing enemies surrounded by Judgments.

• Power Of The Seven: Increases Ability Strength
• Deathbringer: Increases Weapon Damage
• Spirit Of Resilience: Increases Shield Regeneration and decreases Shield Regen Delay

Ability 3: Ophanim Eyes

Jade summons an accusatory gaze that slows nearby enemies and dissolves their Shields and Armor. When the gaze falls upon allies, they can be revived from a distance.

Ophanim Eyes is Jade’s subsumable Helminth ability.

Ability 4: Glory on High

Soar with destructive power. Use alternate-fire to detonate Judgments, causing an explosion of Jade Light. Enemies inside the Light’s Judgment radius empower the explosion.

Jade’s Glory on High Exalted Weapon: Glory

Unleash the power of the Jade Light.

NEW WEAPONS

Jade brings with her a full Arsenal of weapons that evoke feelings of hope, a counterpart to that which evokes an absence of light.

New Bow: Evensong

Counter the dread of battle with a song of praise. Enemies cannot hurt your allies while wounded by Evensong’s arrows. Kills with Evensong empower ally weapons with Multishot.

Unique Trait - Evensong Devotion

Damage dealt by Evensong's arrows applies 7 stacks of Puncture Status, which reduces the target's damage output by 100% and increases their Critical Chance of damage taken by 35%. Kills with Evensong activate Evensong Devotion, a buff that increases Multishot by 35% for allies.

How to Acquire Evensong:

Acquire the Evensong Blueprint from the new Ascension game mode, or obtain the Blueprint in exchange for Vestigial Motes from Ordis in the Larunda Relay on Mercury. It can also be purchased fully built via the in-game Market for Platinum.

New Thrown Secondary: Cantare

In moments of despair, let the battle resonate with song. Cantare’s blades lodge into the battlefield and return upon reload. When returning blades strike enemies, Cantare empowers allies with increased Reload Speed.

Unique Trait - Cantare Chorale

Cantare's blades have a 300% Critical Chance when they return upon reload. Strike enemies with returning blades to activate Cantare Chorale, a buff that increases Reload Speed by 20% for allies.

How to Acquire Cantare:

Acquire the Cantare Blueprint from the new Ascension game mode, or obtain the Blueprint in exchange for Vestigial Motes from Ordis in the Larunda Relay on Mercury. It can also be purchased fully built via the in-game Market for Platinum.

New Scythe Melee: Harmony

Harmony triumphs over hate. Heavy Attacks condense Status Effect damage into a single instance. Heavy Attack kills empower allies with increased Status Duration.

Unique Trait - Harmonic Resonance

Heavy Attacks condense all Status Effects that deal damage over time into a single instance. Heavy Attack kills activate Harmonic Resonance, a buff that increases Status Duration by 30% for allies.

How to Acquire Harmony:

Acquire the Harmony Blueprint from the new Ascension game mode, or obtain the Blueprint in exchange for Vestigial Motes from Ordis in the Larunda Relay on Mercury. It can also be purchased fully built via the in-game Market for Platinum.

Jade’s Ensemble Buff

When all three weapons are used together they have a unique buff! Evensong, Cantare, and Harmony sing together. Their buff effects are doubled.

NEW GAME MODE: ASCENSION

The Stalker’s stronghold is under intensive assault from marauding Corpus forces, but what they’re after must remain safe. You’ll need to initiate an emergency evacuation before embarking on a grueling ascent through enemy-infested elevator shafts to the Extraction waiting for you above.

Visit the new Brutus node on Uranus after completing the Jade Shadows Quest to assist Ordis in gathering Vestigial Motes! This new non-endless mission unfurls in three stages:

Stage 1 - Mote Collection

The Corpus have set up Mote Collectors to extract energy from the air - Ordis has taken them over, so you must defend them while they complete extraction!

Stage 2 - Ascension

Once you have extracted the Motes, they must be transported in their Extraction Capsule top-side! To do so, power the elevator using Ionic Capsules dotted throughout the map, or dropped from enemies. As you approach them, they’ll be marked with a small green waypoint! Keep your eyes peeled for extra-glowy Boosted Ionic Capsules that offer a speed boost. Once picked up, use the Alternative Fire to throw them at the Extraction Capsule to power your ascent!

Players can keep up with the ever-rising gameplay with increased jump height (thanks to a special Air Support deployed by Ordis), and via jump pads littered on various platforms. Should you take an unfortunate fall to the bottom of the map, use the jump pad at the bottom of the elevator to catch up to its height.

Bonus Objective:

Along with the Ionic Capsules, players may come across Sister Beacons hidden throughout the map, identified by the soft pinging noise they emanate upon approach. Collect three of these to summon a Sister of Parvos, who will spawn once you reach the top of the Elevator shaft. Defeating the Sister will reward you with 5-7 Vestigial Motes and a chance at a new Arcane, listed below (8-10 Motes and a guaranteed Arcane on Steel Path). Sisters of Parvos will also drop Steel Essence in Steel Path Ascension missions.

Stage 3 - Extraction

Once you’ve made it to the top, escort the Extraction Capsule safely to extraction and defend it from Corpus foes along the way! Should enemies manage to deplete the health of the Extraction Capsule, its progress will stop briefly and the health will regenerate, at which point it will continue on its path once more.

Rewards

Successfully completing an Ascension mission will award players with 11-13 Vestigial Motes (16-18 on Steel Path), as well as a reward from the mission drop table, including:

• Jade’s Component Blueprints
• Endo
• Relics
• Harmony Blueprint
• Cantare Blueprint
• Evensong Blueprint

For a full overview of the Ascension Drop Tables, please review our Drop Tables site.

Releasing Vestigial Motes

Visit Ordis in the Larunda Relay on Mercury during Operation: Belly of the Beast to exchange Vestigial Motes for various wares, including:

• Jade Main and Component Blueprints
• Harmony Blueprint
• Cantare Blueprint
• Evensong Blueprint
• New Arcanes (read on below to learn more!)

Once Operation: Belly of the Beast ends, Ordis will relocate to the Drifter Camp and offer his wares there. He finally got a job, yipee!

New Arcanes

Enhance your Arsenal with these new Arcanes! Acquire these new enhancements from Sisters of Parvos spawned in the new Ascension game mode, or exchange them for Vestigial Motes via Ordis in the Larunda Relay.

Stats below are shown at max rank.

Arcane Ice Storm (Warframe)

On Enemy Frozen: Gain +2% Ability Strength and +2% Ability Duration for 15s. Stacks up to 20x.

Arcane Battery (Warframe)

Gains 0.30 maximum Energy per Armor point, up to 1000 Energy.

NEW EXIMUS UNIT: JADE LIGHT EXIMUS

Introducing a new Eximus Type: Jade Light Eximus.

Players will find them in all missions where Eximus spawn, where they will face the threat of Jade Light on the battlefield.

These new foes will target up to 2 players, and will summon a beam of Jade Light that follows them and deals increasing damage the longer you are in contact with it. Players can either avoid the Jade Light until it dissipates (~8 seconds) or attempt to destroy the beam by shooting at the top of it — or kill the Eximus unit itself, of course. Once a Jade Light is summoned, the Eximus' Ability will go on a short cooldown before another can be cast.

OPERATION: BELLY OF THE BEAST

JUNE 18TH @ 11:30 AM ET - JULY 18TH @ 11:30 AM ET

Parvos Granum is attempting to harvest Volatile Motes to make his own Jade Light Eximus army, and only you and Ordis stand in his way. With Ordis’ help, you can commandeer the Mote Collectors and put an end to Parvos’ plans.

Venture to a secretive location (discovered in the Jade Shadows Quest) at Brutus on Uranus to preserve Jade’s legacy! Fight against the Corpus to earn new and returning rewards from previous Operations.

What You Need To Know

Operation: Belly of the Beast requires you to step into this shrouded location - only those who have completed the Jade Shadows Quest are permitted to do so.

After finishing the Jade Shadows Quest, players will have access to a new node on Uranus: Brutus. Here they can access the new Ascension game mode and access Operation-specific missions. Successfully foiling Parvos’ efforts will reward you with special Volatile Motes, which can be exchanged for Operation rewards.

What You Need To Do

While Operation: Belly of the Beast is live, players will have access to special nodes that allow them to take on Parvo’s forces. In these missions, all Eximus units you face will be empowered by Jade Light - meaning the only Eximus units that will spawn are Jade Light Eximus. You can help Ordis in his mission to stop Parvos in one of three ways:

• Operation Variant of Brutus (Uranus)
• Operation Alerts
• Stalker Joins the Fray

Operation Variant of Brutus (Uranus)

In traditional Operation style, the new Brutus node on Uranus has its own Operation variant. Play Ascension as you know it, but with all Eximus units spawning in as Jade Light Eximus. On top of the regular Ascension rewards, each Operation mission will award players with 4-6 Volatile Motes (8-10 on Steel Path), which can be traded for rewards via Ordis in the Larunda Relay.

Summoning a Sister of Parvos will also earn players an extra 1-3 Volatile Motes (2-4 on Steel Path), as well as her usual drops.

Operation Alerts

In addition to the Brutus node on Uranus, timed Operation Alerts will appear across the solar system that will also reward players with 10 Volatile Motes (15 on Steel Path). These non-Ascension missions will have normal gameplay, but will feature increased Eximus Spawns, and will only feature Jade Light type Eximus. Look for these time-limited Alerts appearing every half hour or so as an alternative method to earning Volatile Motes.

Stalker Joins the Fray

Visiting Ordis in the Larunda Relay not only allows you to earn Operation Rewards, but also lets you call on an old foe to assist in your efforts. In speaking to Ordis, selecting the “A Shared Purpose?” option will allow you to join another Squad’s mission as Stalker. Doing so will reward you with the usual mission rewards, but at risk of losing them all should you be downed.

Rewards

No Operation is complete without rewards, and Ordis has collected quite a few offerings for you to choose from. Ordis can be found in the Larunda Relay in the Navigation Room, where he will trade Volatile Motes for rewards.

Community Progress

Belly of the Beast comes with a Community Progress segment, tracking the total Volatile Motes collected by players. As the total number of Volatile Motes collected ticks up, progress is made towards a new variant of the Jade Light Ephemera, unlocking it for purchase for all players at Ordis in the Larunda Relay.

Commit Volatile Motes

Ordis is carrying a vast array of items in exchange for Volatile Motes:

• Low Guardian Chest Plate
• Belly of the Beast Sigil
• Aspirus Ephemera (Once overall Operation progress has reached 33%)
• Aspirus Emergent Ephemera (Once overall Operation progress has reached 66%)
• Aspirus Apex Ephemera (Once overall Operation progress has reached 90%)
• Krios Signa
• Prominence Wisp Totem
• Fluctus Rahk Skin
• Ceti Lacera Blueprint
• Basmu Blueprint
• Stance Forma Blueprint

The Ballroom Simulacrum

• Arcanes:
  • Arcane Tempo
  • Arcane Consequence
  • Arcane Momentum
  • Arcane Ice
  • Arcane Nullifier
  • Arcane Warmth
  • Arcane Resistance
  • Arcane Healing
  • Arcane Deflection
  • Arcane Victory
  • Arcane Strike
  • Arcane Awakening
  • Arcane Guardian
  • Arcane Phantasm
  • Arcane Eruption

  • Arcane Velocity
  • Arcane Precision
  • Arcane Pulse
  • Arcane Ultimatum
  • Arcane Aegis
  • Arcane Arachne
  • Arcane Rage
  • Arcane Fury
  • Arcane Avenger
  • Clan Contributions

Ordis is also carrying additional stock for Tenno who are in a Clan:

• Enlightened Hate Skin
• Gilded Clan Sigil
• Glyphed Clan Sigil
• Phased Clan Sigil
• Belly of the Beast Emblem
• Arcanes:
  • Arcane Energize
  • Arcane Grace
  • Arcane Barrier

All Arcanes purchased from the “Commit Volatile Motes” and “Clan Contributions” stores will be limited to 42 (2 max rank Arcanes) per Arcane per player to prevent Operation burnout.

Clan Trophies

Volatile Motes collected by Clan members throughout the Operation will earn your Clan Trophies!

Like previous Operations, Clan Trophies are available in Terracotta, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The amount of Volatile Motes required to unlock each tier are as follows:

Clan Tier   Terracotta   Bronze   Silver   Gold
Ghost          15         30       45      60
Shadow         45         90       135     180
Storm          150        300      450     600
Mountain       450        900      1350    1800
Moon           1500       3000     4500    6000

Players can view their Clan’s progress in the “Event” tab in Navigation.

NEW WARFRAME AUGMENT MODS

New Augment Mods for Dagath, Protea, Sevagoth and Qorvex are available to acquire from the Syndicates!

Stats below are all shown at max rank.

Dagath Grave Spirit Augment: Spectral Spirit

Immediately assume Grave Spirit’s Spectral Form. 100% chance for weapons and abilities to apply Doom. Kills outside of Spectral Form decrease its cooldown by 1s.

Available in the Red Veil and The Perrin Sequence’s Offerings.

Protea Blaze Artillery Augment: Temporal Artillery

When Temporal Anchor is activated, one existing Artillery unit will attach to Protea, halting its duration countdown. Max combo count is 20x.

Sevagoth Sow Augment: Dark Propagation

Sevagoth’s Sow Change:

• Sow can now be recast!
  • Previously, Sow could not be recast if at least one enemy was affected by it. This has long been a feedback point from players requesting we allow it to be recast regardless of this and with the introduction of the new Augment Mod which will also benefit from this, it is now Sow! (heh).

Qorvex Containment Wall Augment: Wrecking Wall

Strip 50% of armor and shields from struck enemies. Hitting 5 or more enemies will restart the duration of any Chyrinka Pillars and empower them.

Available in the Cephalon Suda and Steel Meridian’s Offerings.

• For example, the Dante Collection screen now has an option to preview/view the Dante Chronicles Pack and vice versa. This also applies to the new Jade Market bundles.
• The purpose of this change is to increase visibility of the purchase options that are available to players.

• Fixed being able to still use the Operator Void Beam attack after completing The New War Quest while riding Merulina and a strange dead Excalibur spawning at the same time without a head.
• Fixed kills while on Merulina not counting towards Sanctuary Onslaught Efficiency.

RESISTANCES AND STATUS REWORK

As discussed over the last two months, across both Devstreams 179 and 180, we’ve overhauled Warframe’s Health Types and Resistances alongside a select few Status Effects!

To help players revisit their builds following these changes, an inbox containing 3x Forma will be sent to all players today (June 18th) at 12pm ET today.

New Health Types

Previously, enemy resistances and vulnerabilities were split between 13 Health Types:

Grineer

• Cloned Flesh
• Ferrite Armor
• Alloy Armor
• Machinery

Corpus

• Flesh
• Shields
• Proto-Shield
• Robotic
• Ferrite Armor
• Alloy Armor

Infested

• Infested
• Infested Flesh
• Fossilized
• Infested Sinew
• Ferrite Armor

Sentient

• Flesh
• Robotic
• Ferrite Armor
• Alloy Armor
• Shields

Murmur

• Indifferent Facade
• Ferrite Armor
• Infested
• Machinery

Each of these Health Types had unique interactions with the various Status Types:

Physical

• Impact: Stagger
• Puncture: Reduced Damage Output/+Crit Chance
• Slash: Bleed

Individual Status

• Cold: Slow/+Crit Damage
• Electricity: Tesla Chain
• Heat: Burn
• Toxic: Poison

Combined Status

• Blast (Heat + Cold): Inaccuracy
• Corrosive (Toxic + Electricity): Corrosion
• Gas (Heat + Toxic): Gas Cloud
• Magnetic (Cold + Electricity): Shield Disruption
• Radiation (Heat + Electricity): Friendly Fire
• Viral (Cold + Toxic): Amplified Health Damage

Optimizing builds to make use of this system required players to memorize health types per enemy (not just per Faction) and their resistances/vulnerabilities. Our goal is to reduce the friction necessary to engage in optimal play, so we’ve:

a) Simplified the number of Health Types

b) Redesigned how Faction Resistances work

c) Increased the visibility of the new vulnerabilities in normal gameplay flow

Instead of having 13 Health Types, we have simplified them into 4:

• Health
• Armor
• Shields
• Overguard

Now, these Health Types only serve to differentiate between Status Effects and Abilities that affect them, such as Magnetic hindering Shields, Corrosive stripping Armor, or Viral amplifying Health damage.

We’ve changed the system so that Resistances and Vulnerabilities are no longer tied to the previous Health Types. Resistances and Vulnerabilities are now based upon the Faction a player is engaging with.

Star Chart “Suggested Damage”

Vulnerabilities are now listed in The Star Chart mission nodes! Here, we aim to recommend the appropriate per-Faction Resistances, which will then universally affect that specific group.

The Star Chart now shows Faction Resistances per node. Aligned with the present Faction, Vulnerabilities and Resistances will be listed to communicate the “Suggested Damage” options best used against any specific Faction or location.

66f1be34ab89ea74fe28f2b721efe055.jpg

Sub-Factions will also have different Vulnerabilities and Resistances from their primary counterpart. The three main Sub-Factions are:

• Kuva Grineer
• Corpus Amalgam
• Deimos Infested

Viewing Faction Vulnerabilities and Resistances now also depends on where the player is within Warframe’s Story. The Factions (and Sub-Factions) will be unlocked via:

Factions:

• Grineer: Unlocked by default.
• Corpus: Unlocked by default.
• Infested: Unlocked by default.
• Orokin: Unlocked after Phobos Junction.
• Sentient: Unlocked after The Second Dream Quest completion.
• Narmer: Unlocked after The New War Quest completion.
• Zariman: Unlocked after Angels of the Zariman Quest completion.
• Murmur: Unlocked after Whispers in the Walls Quest completion.

Sub-Factions:

• Kuva Grineer: Unlocked after The War Within Quest completion.
• Corpus Amalgam: Unlocked after Jupiter Junction.
• Deimos Infested: Unlocked after Heart of Deimos Quest completion.

Simplified Faction Resistances

With the removal of Resistances/Vulnerabilities being tied to Health Type, they will now be Faction-specific.

Default Faction Vulnerabilities and Resistances:

• Grineer: Vulnerable to Impact and Corrosive
• Corpus: Vulnerable to Puncture and Magnetic
• Infested: Vulnerable to Slash and Heat

Factions by Quest Vulnerabilities and Resistances:

• Orokin:
  • Vulnerable to Puncture and Viral
  • Resistant to Radiation
• Sentient:
  • Vulnerable to Cold and Radiation
  • Resistant to Corrosive
• Narmer:
  • Vulnerable to Slash and Toxin
  • Resistant to Magnetic.
• Zariman: Vulnerable to Void
• The Murmur:
  • Vulnerable to Electric and Radiation
  • Resistant to Viral

Rogue Necramechs also fall under these Vulnerabilities and Resistances.

Sub-Faction Vulnerabilities and Resistances:

• Kuva Grineer:
  • Vulnerable to Impact and Corrosive
  • Resistant to Heat
• Corpus Amalgam:
  • Vulnerable to Electric and Magnetic
  • Resistant to Blast
• Deimos Infested:
  • Vulnerable to Blast and Gas
  • Resistant to Viral

With these Resistance and Vulnerability changes, we’ve made a notable decision to make Impact deadlier towards the Grineer, while making Puncture deadlier towards the Corpus. This is a departure from the previous system, however, we believe that these two Statuses are more suited for these specific Factions.

Since Impact Status Effects enables Mercy actions, we found that it wasn’t all too effective against Corpus due to their lower Health counts compared to their Shields, while Mercy killing Grineer is more accessible due to their innate tankiness. The Corpus can deliver incredibly high amounts of raw damage, allowing for Puncture to naturally play effectively into limiting their damage potential.

Armor Adjustments

Important Note: We have not changed player Armor. This only applies to enemy Armor!

Enemy Armor scaling in its previous current iteration meant that Armor Stripping was almost an all-or-nothing game, especially at higher levels. This resulted in players focusing on Armor Stripping as a way to tackle Grineer at higher difficulty content. Our goal is to reduce some of the extreme damage reduction offered by Armor at high levels, and make partial Armor Stripping more feasible.

To do so, we are making the following changes:

• Armor has a maximum cap of 2700 Armor (90% Damage Reduction).
• Armor has a minimum cap of 200 Armor.
• Steel Path no longer increases Armor values.
• Grineer enemies have increased Health scaling.
• Altered the formula for Armor Reduction to increase the effectiveness of Partial Armor Stripping.
  • For reference, currently around 50% of Damage Resistance came from just 300 Armor, which is why complete Armor Strip felt so needed at higher levels.

Additionally, our goal was to make partial Armor Stripping a more valuable tool. By capping enemy Armor and adjusting how Armor is calculated, a partial Armor Strip will allow players to engage with high-level Grineer more easily - meaning max Corrosion stacks against an Armored enemy (reducing the Armor by 80%) will feel more impactful due to the new distribution of Damage Resistance from Armor values).

Full Armor Strip is still valuable, but we wanted to even the playing field so players didn’t feel forced to build around it.

Shield Adjustments

Important note: We have not changed player Shields. This only applies to enemy Shields!

The Grineer are tankier by design, but the Corpus try to make the difference through their Shields. However, Corpus Effective Hit Points (EHP) are significantly lower, making them often trivial to deal with by comparison. Our goal is to reduce the discrepancy between Grineer and Corpus time-to-kill (TTK) by making Corpus Shields a bit more challenging and interesting to fight.

Changes to Enemy Shields:

• Shields now scale more quickly starting at level 80. This means stronger Shields than before as players fight higher-leveled Shielded enemies.
• Shield Recharge Delay is now unified across all enemy types.
• Shield Recharge Delay now has a minimum and maximum length depending on how much damage has been dealt to enemy Shields.
  • The more damage dealt, the slower enemy Shields will begin recharging, so if you can’t outpace enemy Shields right away, you can chip their Recharge Delay down within a maximum and a minimum.
    • For example, if enemy Shields break at any point, it automatically acts as if 200% damage (which becomes the maximum delay) has been inflicted on those Shields. However, if an enemy absorbs 99% damage (so 1% of their shields left), their accumulated damage taken now sets their Recharge Delay in the middle of their respective minimum and maximum delays. Should they Recharge and you deal another 99% damage to their Shields, they’ll have absorbed 198% damage, taking them to the maximum Recharge delay of what that scaled enemy can have.
• Shield Recharge Rate scales with enemy level, recharging at a faster rate for higher-leveled enemies.
  • Shield Recharge Rate will also accelerate while Shields are actively Recharging.
    • Shield Recharge Acceleration Rate’s base multiplier greatly increases after level 80, resulting in faster Recharge rates at higher levels.
• Steel Path Shields are now multiplied by 2.5x, in place of the previous 6.25x. Steel Path Shields were doubly-applying the multiplier unintentionally.

Effective Hit Points (EHP) Adjustments

Enemy stat scalings, such as Health and Shields, now grow faster as enemy level increases, in compensation of the loss in Enemy Armor and to make Shields more engaging to deal with.

Changes:

• After Level 75-80, enemies receive increased stats, such as Health, at a slightly increased rate to prevent EHP stagnation.
  • It’s important to note that the increase in Health scaling is not meant to match the EHP values seen by previous levels of Armor.

Status Effect Reworks

Blast

Our goal with Blast is to invoke an immediate and on-death effect to emphasize explosions.

Now, instead of enemy inaccuracy, you detonate your enemies! When dealing a Blast Status Effect to an enemy, the following will happen:

Blast Changes:

• Upon inflicting a Blast Status Effect, individual stacks will cause a mini-explosion, and a max stack count of 10 will inflict combined damage in a 5m radius
  • After 1.5 seconds, an individually incurred Blast Status Effect deals a percentage of base-inflicted damage per stack-explosion and over 100% of base-inflicted damage for a full (10 stack) explosion.
• Status Duration will increase the delay before the Status Effect applies and depletes.
• Removed the previous Status Effect of inaccuracy.

Cold

With Cold, we want to fully realize the fantasy of slowing, freezing and shattering your enemies. The existing Cold Status mechanic of slowing enemies is unchanged, but now has a new mechanic upon applying Max Stacks - freezing your foes!

Cold Changes:

• Cold now has a maximum cap of 10 stacks (was 9).
  • Applying 10 Cold stacks to a foe will make them Frozen for 3 seconds. Frozen enemies cannot move, will not recharge Shields, and receive double Critical Damage. After the Frozen effect wears off, 3 Cold stacks will remain.
    • Bosses, such as Alad V or Kela De Thaym, will be unable to be Frozen since they cannot accumulate 10 Cold stacks.

Gas

Gas often lacked effective readability, making it difficult to distinguish its presence from the enemy or yourself. We’ve introduced enhanced visuals so that when the Gas Status Effect is active, you’ll be able to recognize it more clearly.

Gas Changes:

• Added VFX on top of the target affected by a Gas Cloud to clearly show an effect is active.
  • In addition to current and new VFX, Gas VFX now also more clearly shows the radius of the Gas Damage-over-Time (DoT) effect around a given target to better understand its impact on surrounding enemies.
    • If a player is inside the radius of the Gas DoT, the visuals are reduced for them to maintain visibility, similar to Frost’s Snow Globe.
• Gas VFX now has billowy volume to better present presence.
• Gas VFX now has additional floating particles around the smoke.

Magnetic

Magnetic has received a few buffs to increase its effectiveness against Shields and to hammer home the power fantasy of overloading enemy Shields.

Magnetic Changes:

• Damage to Nullifier Bubbles has been increased
  • Minimum Damage raised to 300 Damage per shot.
  • Maximum Damage raised to 1200 Damage per shot.
  • Additionally, we now show the minimum and maximum damage numbers against Nullifier Bubbles, with Magnetic attacks displaying the buffed damage shown above, while non-Magnetic sources will display the original, unbuffed damage.
    • Known issue: Clients see the incorrectly unbuffed damage from Magnetic sources, which is strictly a UI/visual bug. Magnetic sources will continue to deal increased damage towards Nullifier Bubbles despite the incorrect numbers displayed. We will look to resolve this in a future Hotfix/Update.
• Reduced Shield Regeneration by a percentage per Magnetic stack against affected targets.
• Upon Shield/Overguard Breaking a target, the enemy will now be dealt Electric Status damage for a percentage of Max Shields/Overguard per Magnetic stack while also forcing an Electric Status Effect.
• Magnetic stacks on an enemy with Overguard now allow for bonus damage to Overguard, similar to how Magnetic affects Shields.

Warframe Changes

With the above changes to Resistances and Status Effects, we took a look at Warframe abilities and made some adjustments to compliment the changes.

Frost Rework

Frost, the definitively-themed Cold Warframe, has received a rework to better situate him for how Cold works with this Update! While Frost dealt icy attacks to his foes, the Freeze from his hit was not tied to Cold Status Effects. With the update to the Cold status, we have also amended his kit to properly use Cold Status Effects to Freeze enemies!

New passive - Fortifying Freeze:

Cold Status Effects applied by Frost Abilities have their duration increased by 100%. Frost gains 50 Armor per enemy inflicted with Cold Status within 15m.

Freeze (1st Ability):

• Adds required Cold stacks to freeze instead of simply freezing to both initial hit and AoE interactions.
• “Duration” is now known as “Freeze Duration,” indicating how long an affected target is Frozen.
• Doubled the baseline Area of Effect component of the projectiles.
• The Area-of-Effect aspect now scales with the Ability Range stat. The Area-of-Effect Radius is now present in the Ability description.

Ice Wave (2nd Ability):

• “Duration” is now known as “Freeze Duration,” indicating how long an affected target is Frozen.
• Ice Wave Impedance Augment Changes:
  • Leaves a frozen trail for 12s that adds a Cold Status Effect per second on enemies in contact with it.

Snow Globe (3rd Ability):

• Applies a Cold Status Effect every 3 seconds to enemies inside the Globe.
• Updated “Slow” stat to “Cold Status/Second”.
• Instantly apply full Cold stacks on cast if an enemy is within Snow Globe range.
• No longer blocks player projectiles from the outside!
• Snow Globe now visually cracks as it takes damage.
  • When the Snow Globe breaks, it’ll also explode and deal damage and 3 Cold stacks to enemies within its radius.
• Chilling Globe Augment Changes:
  • Updated the Augment to add 10 Cold stacks if the condition is met (i.e., unify the freeze with the Cold Status Effects as we normally do now).

Avalanche (4th Ability):

• Adds the required Cold stacks instead of simply freezing.
• It’s “Duration” stat is now “Freeze Duration,” indicating how long an affected target is Frozen.

Ember Changes

We’ve made changes to the Heat-incarnate Warframe Ember to stoke the flames of her power and give her some more firepower.

Fireball (1st Ability):

• Removed the hold to charge to get the maximum damage. The damage increase (500%) from the previous hold charge is now applied to the now default tap cast.
• Its AOE now has a 100% guaranteed Heat Status Effect.
  • Previously, it only had a 50% chance to apply this effect.
• Increased radius from 2m to 3m.
  • Previously, its max range with fully charged cast was 2.4m. So we’ve bumped it up to 3m for all casts.
• Added an “Immolation Meter” stat to inform of the amount of Heat Fireball generates for Immolation.

Immolation (2nd Ability):

• Reduced the Energy Per Second cost when at max Heat from 10 to 4.
  • We want to make it easier for players to maintain its Heat gauge at max.
• Added an “Immolation Meter” stat to inform of the amount of Heat that is passively generated by Immolation.

Fire Blast (3rd Ability):

• Energy cost now scales based on the Immolation’s Heat gauge
  • 75 Energy (at lowest) all the way down to 25 (at max).
• Fireblast’s Heat Damage and Armor reduction now affects bosses that are by default vulnerable to Armor stripping abilities (ex: Captain Vor), as well as Acolytes and Demolishers.
  • Its knockdown effect will not affect those listed above that are CC immune.
• Improved hit detection so that enemies at varying heights in relation to you (above or below) are hit by Fire Blast.
• Added an “Immolation Meter” stat to inform of the decrease in Heat generation overtime.
• Added an “Immolation Meter on Cast” stat to inform of the % of Heat Fire Blast removed from Immolation when cast.
• Augment Mod Changes:
  • Healing Flame: Now converts all over healing (gaining Health points while as max Health) into Overguard.
    • Description now reads: “Each enemy hit heals by 25 to 50 depending on current Immolation level. With Ember, over healing grants you Overguard.”
    • This only applies to Ember herself and not to Fire Blast on other Warframes via Helminth.
  • Purifying Flame: Ember will now also benefit from the Status Effect cleansing and Status Immunity when hit by the ring of fire.

Inferno (4th Ability):

• The Heat damage per second from ring of fire can now trigger Heat Status Effects.
  • For a boost in its CC effect and to give it a more lasting effect on impacted enemies.
• Added an “Angle” stat to better inform of the on-screen LOS checks.
• Added an “Immolation Meter” stat to inform of the amount of Inferno generated for Immolation.

Other Ember Changes/Fixes:

• Moved Ember’s Passive icon from the Buffs Bar to be above the Immolation Gauge.

5955ca67d49876d2f6c32bac782d5c67.png

• Fixed recasting Ember’s Fire Blast while another Fire Blast is active resulting in the original Fire Blast not armor stripping or interacting properly with the Healing Flame Augment.
  • Also fixed recasting Fire Blast with a different Ability Strength than the original cast resulting in the first cast taking the Ability Strength of the second cast.
• Fixed Purifying Flame Blast UI Buff appearing to end earlier than expected. This was a UI-only issue and did not impact gameplay.
• Fixed Fireblast not showing its Altered stats in the Helminth screen.

Gauss Thermal Sunder Changes

Gauss’ Thermal Sunder has been updated to properly reflect the mechanics of Cold, as he is one of the few Warframes capable of fully Freezing targets with Thermal Sunder!

• Tapping Thermal Sunder during Redline will now apply 10 Cold stacks - resulting in the same full Freeze. Its duration scales with the duration of his Ability.
• Tapping Thermal Sunder will add 9 Cold stacks on the second tap if it hits a target already affected by a Cold Status to reach full Freeze.

Atlas Petrify Changes

Atlas’ Petrify interacts with Freezing and Resistance values. As such, he’s received a few changes to clarify and enhance the mechanics of his ability.

• All enemies caught within the cone are now instantly turned to stone. Petrified enemies have their Damage type modifiers increased by +50% (does not scale with Mods).
  • Added a “Damage Vulnerability” stat to Petrify to communicate this mechanic.
  • Petrifying Frozen enemies will retain the Frozen Status Effect, but the petrification will override the enemy visually.

Baruuk Reactive Storm Changes

We’ve updated his “Serene Storm” Augment to properly adapt to the new Vulnerabilities, rather than the optimal Health Type as was before.

• Adjusted Baruuk’s Reactive Storm to utilize the new Vulnerabilities system rather than the Health Type system - Reactive Storm will behave the same way it did before, but we’re just ensuring it works properly with the new system!

Modular Companion Changes

Modular Companions from Son are also now adjusted for the new Resistance system. Mutagens will be based upon Resistances instead of Health Types.

Predasite	Vulpaphyla	Elemental Resistance	Physical Resistance
Leptosam	Elsa	Heat	Puncture
Chiten	Adra	Electricity	Slash
Arioli	Zarim	Cold	Impact
Monachod	Phijar	Toxin	Slash

Miscellaneous Changes

• Codex Changes:
  • Enemies now have their Resistances and Vulnerabilities more clearly labeled in their Codex entry by Faction.
    • Previously, only the Damage Type icons were present and were labeled as green/red depending on whether it was a resistance or vulnerability. For a player who is unfamiliar with these icons, this was not entirely helpful.
    • Now, these icons are partnered with their written name and are categorized under a Vulnerability/Resistance header. Additionally, combined elemental damage types have the damages that are used to create it in parentheses.
  • Health values are now indicated in the Codex entry.
• Removed Armor Scaling from Eximus Units due to the Armor Cap implemented.
  • With the cap, Armor Scaling is unreliable in increasing the difficulty of eliminating Eximus Units. To compensate, Eximus units have had their Health and Shield multipliers increased by 50%.
• Status Effects no longer inherit Energy Colors, so players can more easily identify when an enemy is affected by a Status Effect.
• Damage Resistances (from Mods such as Shock Absorbers) have been added as a secondary stat to the Armor Stat on-hover.
  • Tau Resistance was already reflected on-hover for Armor Stats, now other damage resistances are given the same treatment.
• Tooltips for Status Effects in the Upgrade screen UI now include what they are “Effective Against” and its “Damage Efficacy”.
• Unified terminology for the following Status Effects throughout the game:
  • “Bleed” is now “Slash Status Effect”
  • “Ignite” is now “Heat Status Effect”
  • “Confusion” is now “Radiation”
  • “Disruption” is now “Magnetic”
  • “Corrosion” is now “Corrosive”
    • These Status Effects have long been using the above terms interchangeably to describe the same thing. So, in an effort to prevent confusion when interacting with these, we’ve updated all mentions to their proper term. We’ve also fixed inconsistent capitalization of Status Effects throughout the game for consistency.
• Zealoid Prelate will now cleanse himself of Status Effects during invulnerable periods to prevent Cold Status Effects unnecessarily slowing the fight.

DUVIRI ADDITIONS & CHANGES

New Decrees

Sourced from our incredible Design Council, a new set of Decrees now have a chance to appear in Duviri to bolster your efforts to escape Dominus Thrax’s vicious cycle.

The creative minds in the Design Council came back with more ideas than a Maw could eat up! The Dev team chose the following from the ideas pitched and made changes for balance purposes.

Stats shown below are indicative of each Rank of the Decree to its max stacks.

Share your Feedback & Bug Reports on the new Decrees in the dedicated Subforums.

New Undercroft Mission: Alchemy

Your knowledge on the elements from your explorations of Albrecht’s Laboratories is required in Duviri, Tenno! Maintain the laws of alchemical science in the Undercroft with the addition of the Alchemy mission type.

Like most things in Duviri, completing an Alchemy Undercroft mission is different from how you know it outside of the Spiral. Here’s what you can expect:

• Players must fill 2 Crucibles in order to complete an Undercroft mission or to move to the next stage in the Circuit.
  • There is no Conversion Progress mixing stage in the Undercroft - players do not need to destroy Distressed Pipes while the Crucible mixes the elements.
• Dax Enemies will drop the required Amphors for the active Crucible, while other enemies will drop them at random.

General Alchemy Change (applies to Duviri and standard mode):

• Slightly reduced the amount of Amphors required to fill up an element in the Crucible for Squads of 3 or 4 players.

Pathos Clamps Rewarded From Undercroft Portals

Pathos Clamps are now rewarded from completing Undercroft Portal side objectives (story stage Undercroft portals do not reward Pathos Clamps) in the Duviri Experience! This is in addition to the current Decrees, Arcanes, and Steel Essence (if played on Steel Path difficulty) rewards.

Undercroft Portals completed on standard difficulty have a guaranteed reward of 1 Pathos Clamp for completion, while those completed on Steel Path have a guaranteed reward of 3 Pathos Clamps.

NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE IMPROVEMENTS

Debt-Bond Farming Changes

We have revamped Solaris United Bounty Drop Tables to increase the amount of Debt-Bonds earned across the board. Our goal with these changes was to increase Debt-Bond drop rates, but not affect rare or desired items already in the Drop Tables.

• Moved Debt-Bonds from Stage 1 to Final Stage, but increased drop rate significantly for every Bounty Tier.
  • Running the first Bounty Stage was a common practice to farm Debt-Bonds, and while we wanted to increase Debt-Bond drop chance, leaving them in that Stage would only incentivize that behavior further.
  • With these in the Final Stage Drop Table, players who complete all the Bonus Objectives will have an extra kick at the Debt-Bond can, since the Bonus Objectives reward comes from this drop table.
• Increased existing Debt-Bond drop rates in Middle-Stage Drop Tables (Stages 2, 3, and 4, where applicable).
• Removed lackluster “filler” items from the Uncommon and Rare reward tables:
  • Level 5-15: 3,000 Credits
  • Level 10-30: Tepa Nodules
  • Level 20-40: 3,000 Credits
  • Level 30-50: Tellurium
  • Level 40-60 (including Narmer and Steel Path): 500 Kuva
• Replaced 10k Credits reward in Level 40-60 Bounties (including Narmer and Steel Path) with rare resources (Neurodes or Orokin Cells).
• Slightly adjusted Garuda Blueprints and Synth Mods drop rates to accommodate changes above, but we did our best to avoid increases or decreases over 5%.
• Reduced the Credit costs of Ticker’s Debt Bonds by 50%.
  • Previously, the cost would randomly roll between 5k - 350k Credits depending on the bundle offered. Now, it’ll roll between 2.5k - 175k.

For a full overview of the Drop Table changes, please review our Drop Tables site.

Voidrig Acquisition Improvements

• Players who haven’t completed The War Within are now prevented from equipping the Necramech Summon to their Gear Wheel.
• Further amended the Voidrig Blueprint build requirements to require less investment in the Necralisk Syndicate, reduce overall farming time, and include resources that can be found in the regular Star Chart.
  • Voidrig Casing Blueprint:
    • Replaced 8 Stellated Necrathene (Rank 2) with 30 Faceted Tiametrite (Rank 0)
    • Replaced 5 Cranial Foremount (Rank 4) with 140 Lucent Teroglobes
  • Voidrig Engine Blueprint:
    • Replaced 1 Biotic Filter with 4 Parasitic Tethermaw
    • Replaced 6 Cabochon Embolos (Rank 3) with 10 Orokin Cells
  • Voidrig Capsule Blueprint:
    • Replaced 2 Scintillant (locked behind Master Rank 5) with 3 Morphics
    • Reduced Spinal Core Section cost from 15 to 12, as players can get a maximum of 2 per fish
  • Voidrig Weapon Pod Blueprint:
    • Replaced 40 Thaumic Distillate (Rank 2) with 40 Purified Heciphron (Rank 1)
    • Replaced 6 Trapezium Xenorhast (Rank 3) with 30 Purged Dagonic (Rank 0)
• Moved Damaged Necramech pieces from Necraloid’s offerings in the Necralisk to Father.
  • Players are given the Voidrig Blueprints upon completing the Heart of Deimos, but the majority of the acquisition path is hidden behind The War Within. While we initially added these items to Necraloid in Update 34: Abyss of Dagath, we found that players still had difficulty finding them, especially if they had not yet progressed in the Main Story Path. Moving them to Father is lore-consistent and should help reduce the grind further.

Awakening Quest Improvements

Starter Warframe Color Customization

We have added the ability to select one of three color presets (composed of the free colors in the Classic Palette) in the starter Warframe selection screen for Mag, Excalibur and Volt in the Awakening Quest. The selected colors remain during the Quest and afterwards until the player changes them from Arsenal.

aecc0d8aab66f1e476fcfe31135e36c3.jpg

You can reset to the Warframe’s default colors by hitting the “X” icon next to the color options.

Awakening Quest Checkpoints

We have added checkpoints to the Awakening Quest so players who leave part-way do not have to start from the beginning when they return. Players will be notified once they hit a Checkpoint, and will get a preview of the remaining checkpoints they need to complete to help them better understand their progress.

Other New Player Experience Changes and Fixes:

• Updated the TennoGuide path to include suggested Nodes in addition to Quests/Junctions up until the Mercury Junction.
  • This change offers new Tenno the most optimized path to progress through Venus in their Main Story path. New player experience is a delicate balance of guiding players on what to do next, while maintaining player agency in their Warframe journey.
• Moved the Unda, Venus node (Spy mission) so that it is no longer required to complete to get to the Mercury Junction.
  • Spy missions are a bit advanced for new players who are still learning the ins and outs of parkouring. So we’ve moved Unda away from the main path and onto a branch of Venera so that it is optional to complete.
  • The new path to the Junction is now E-Gate > Fortuna > Kiliken.
  • Increased enemy level range of the Unda, Venus node from 4-6 to 6-8 now that it follows Venera (which has a 5-7 range).
• Replaced ammo drops from storage crates at the start of the Awakening Quest with resources, as players do not have weapons at the stage they appear.
• Updated the Bullet Jump tutorial text in the Awakening Quest to read “Hold” instead of “Crouch/Slide” to better inform players on how to perform Bullet Jumps.
• Added a flashing icon that points players in the direction of Glass Shards in the Saya’s Vigil Quest when using a Scanner.
• Removed the Mastery Rank requirement from Maroo’s Bazaar.
• Reduced the difficulty of the enemies in the Corpus spy drone defense sequence in the “Talk to Thursby in Fortuna” stage of the Vox Solaris Quest.
  • These enemies (notably the Terra Shockwave Moa and Terra Trencher) were rather dangerous for new players who may not be equipped to handle them, so we replaced them with more manageable enemy types.
• Fixed enemy pathing issues at the start of the Awakening Quest.

Arsenal UI Additions & Changes

Featured Look Links

We’ve added a new feature to the Arsenal to display a curated list of Featured Warframe Looks! You can find the list in your Arsenal when customizing your fashion (Warframe > Appearance), replacing the spot that was taken by the stats window.

Our goal with this feature is to display your amazing fashion to share with other players! Very similar to the Look Link feature in chat, players will be able to click through the Featured Look Link list, preview fashion, and apply it to their own Warframes using the “Apply Look” button.

Currently, you can see fashion curated from our very own DE staff for the following Warframes: Jade, Excalibur, Mag and Volt.

We will be collecting and curating Look Links from players to add to the Featured Look Link list. Stay tuned for more info.

Upgrade Screen Additions & Changes

• Added the option to duplicate a Mod Config onto another Config in the Upgrade screen.
  • Here’s how to duplicate your Mod Configs:
  • Select the new “Duplicate Configs” button in the far right of the Config bar on a Mod Config that you’d like to duplicate onto another one of your Mod Configs.
  • Select the Mod Config you’d like to duplicate to another Config.
  • Confirm you’d like to override the selected Mod Config.
    • As an example, Config A is selected, use the Duplicate button to copy over the Mods in Config A to Config B. Config B now has the same Mods as Config A.
• Added a little indicator to show the Polarity of the Slot when a Mod with the wrong Polarity has been equipped onto it.
  • Gone are the days where you’d have to remove the Mod to see what Polarity is hiding behind it, you can now make informed Modding decisions without having to do so!
• Added a sound FX when equipping an Arcane Adapter to a slot in the Upgrade screen.

Stat UI Changes & Fixes

In the Dante Unbound Update, we reworked the Warframe, Weapon, and Railjack Stats UI to reduce the sometimes overwhelming visual noise and instead put focus on just the most important information. With Jade Shadows, we continued those efforts by taking into account the player feedback and bug reports we received from the rework.

Changes:

• Added a dynamic diamond icon next to stats that changes states depending on equipped Mods:
  • This icon always appears next to “Core Stats” (visible at all times in the stat screen) that have Secondary Stats nested within them to indicate that hovering over it will show the tooltip.
    • In an effort to clean up the screen, it wasn’t obvious enough that Secondary Stats existed. While not as important as Core Stats, players should still be able to easily identify which of the Core Stats contain other relevant stats.
  • Dynamic States: The following states are also reflected in the Secondary Stats tooltip to inform players that they are also affected.
    • Increasing stat beyond the previous values will prompt a green arrow to appear above the diamond to communicate the increase.
    • Decreasing stat below the base values will prompt a gray arrow to appear below the diamond to communicate the decrease.
• The following is related to and was also listed above in the Resistances & Status Effects Rework section:
  • Damage Resistances (from Mods such as Shock Absorbers) have been added as a secondary stat to the Armor Stat on-hover. (This is related to and listed above in the Resistances & Status Effects Rework section).
    • Tau Resistance was already reflected on-hover for Armor Stats, now other damage resistances are given the same treatment.
  • Tooltips for Status Effects in the Upgrade screen UI will now include what they are “Effective Against” and its “Damage Efficacy”. (This is related to and listed above in the Resistances & Status Effects Rework section).
• Conditional stats will now remain visible after unequipping the Mods that prompt them to appear so that players can see the comparison with/without the Mods. They will disappear after leaving and returning to the Upgrade screen.
• Shield Recharge rate is now displayed as a flat value instead of a percentage of total Shield value.
  • Let’s use Xaku’s base stats as an example of how this stat will now appear in the UI (their stats have not changed, just how it is displayed):
    • Before: “9.6% per second”
    • After: “31.5 per second”
• Added a Damage Falloff Secondary Stat to the Melee Slam Attack Core Stat: “Deal X% Damage to enemies on the edge of the impact zone.”
• Moved “Reload Speed” back as a Core Stat instead of nesting it within “Magazine”.
• Added a Void Damage tooltip in the Operator stats UI to show its efficacy stat and Status Effect description.
  • Now reads: “Damage Efficacy: X damage to Zariman.

Status Effect: Highly effective against enemies with Overguard Health and Sentients as it resets their damage adaptation. Void creates a bullet attractor sphere on the target that attracts and concentrates further attacks.”.

• Added an Overguard tooltip to Rage, Archwing, Necramech and Hunter Adrenaline Mods, due to their new interactions with Overguard as of Update 35.5.6.
• Reordered Charge Rate stat to the top of the list for Bow and Charge weapons, and renamed it to “Charge Time”.
• Changed Melee Follow Through stat to be represented as a percentage instead of decimals.
• Added measurement units to Weapon stats:
  • Ex: Added “s” for seconds on the Melee Heavy Attack Wind-up stat and “m” for meters on the Weapon falloff stat.

Fixes:

• Fixed Valence Bonus stat sometimes rounding up decimals when viewed in the Arsenal or when purchasing from Ergo Glast.
• Fixed Precision Intensify not properly displaying Ability Strength stat increases for the following Exalted Abilities in the Arsenal:
  • Excalibur’s Exalted Blade
  • Baruuk’s Serene Storm
  • Titania’s Razorwing
  • Valkyr’s Hysteria
  • Ivara’s Artemis Bow
  • Mesa’s Peacemaker
  • Sevagoth’s Exalted Shadow
  • Wukong’s Primal Fury
• Fixed Chat Linking unowned equipment (Warframes, Weapons, etc.) resulting in fewer stats being listed than if they were owned.
• Fixed certain Incarnon Weapon stats showing as “0” and the UI showing a comparison state as if Mods had been equipped, when in fact they had not yet.
• Fixed the Wind Up stat increasing in UI instead of decreasing when Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed Mods are equipped.
• Fixed the Chilling Reload Mod’s Reload Speed stat going red instead of green when increasing its rank.
• Fixed Paris Prime’s Status stat tooltip not showing a breakdown of “chance for each Status Effect type per hit.”
• Fixed stats not updating in the UI while modding Companions in a Relay/Town/Dojo/etc.
• Fixed repeatedly hovering over Praedos’ “Drifting Grace” Incarnon Evolution incorrectly increasing a Warframe’s Sprint Speed stat in the Arsenal UI.
• Fixed the following Warframe Aura Mods not affecting the Ammo from Pickups stat in the Arsenal UI:
  • Rifle Scavenger
  • Pistol Scavenger
  • Shotgun Scavenger
  • Sniper Scavenger
• Fixed the Critical Multiplier from Braton Incarnon’s “Prelude of Might” perk not being indicated in the Arsenal stats (this was strictly a UI issue, the stats increase was applying).
• Fixed Ruvox Incarnon’s Damage stat not updating from Impact to Puncture when transformed to Incarnon Mode in the Arsenal stats.

HUD Changes

Improved HUD Scaling

We’ve changed the HUD Scale option so that the HUD now scales proportionally to the player's game resolution!

Previously, the HUD was what we call “Fixed size”, where the HUD elements were of a predetermined size that did not automatically scale to accommodate different resolutions. Players who used the game resolution 1280x720px (the “Fixed Size” resolution) would see the HUD at the initial 100% size we made it for.

However, if players set their game resolution to 1920x1080px, the HUD would then be 66.6% of the size we initially made it for. This led to players having to manually change the HUD Scale in the settings.

Now, we have changed the HUD to scale proportionally. The HUD Scale is now based on the player’s game resolution, and with that the HUD Scale 100 proportionally looks the same at every resolution.

Making the game resolution wider does not continue to increase the size of the HUD. The HUD Scale is now going off whichever measurement (horizontal or vertical) is lower than 16:9, and with that, it will use the smallest axis as its anchor.

Previously, the HUD Scale option ranged from 1x to 3x (Scale 100 - 300). Now, we have changed it to 0.5x to 2x (Scale 50 - 200).

Please note: With Jade Shadows, we have set the player's HUD Scale option to 100(%) so that players don’t get blasted with a super-sized UI. To make adjustments, go to Options > Interface > HUD.

The following numbers show the overall HUD Scale difference from before vs. now:

Some expected numbers based on the aspect math at 100 HUD scale:

• Old 720p - 100 scale = New 720p - 125 scale
• Old 1080p - 100 scale = New 1080p - 80 scale
• Old 1440p - 100 scale = New ~63 scale
• Old 4k - 100 scale = New ~42 scale, so no longer available

Other way around at new default HUD scales, should be equivalent to:

• 720p: 80
• 900p: 100
• 1080p: 120
• 1440p: 160
• 4k: 240

HUD Mod Pop-Ups

Previously, any Mod that you acquired as a drop mid-mission would take up a considerable chunk of your screen, no matter the Mod. So we’ve made HUD changes to minimize the impact of these Mods:

• Mods that you already own will now appear minimized at the bottom-center of your screen (like Resources), while new or Rare Mods will appear as they have previously.
• Common Mods will appear at the bottom of your screen with a Bronze tag and a singular diamond, and Uncommon Mods will appear as a silver tag with two diamonds.

General UI Changes & Fixes

• Damage Numbers have received an overhaul to make it easier to see while damaging an enemy. Damage number “flyoffs” (the way the numbers appear and move off of damaged enemies) will now “fly” further based on distance from target, to ensure you can aim to hit the target easily without numbers blocking your view. The last “Cloud” iteration of damage numbers (bunched around the reticle) is still available to use if preferred in the Interface Options > Show Damage Numbers.
• We’ve updated Incarnon Evolution descriptions across all Incarnon Weapons and Incarnon Genesis to improve overall clarity and be more consistent with Mods, Arcanes, and each other. For reassurance, the upgrades themselves have not changed, only their descriptions.
  • For example, Incarnons which previously contained the phrase “Increase Critical Chance by |VALUE|%” now read “Increase Base Critical Chance by |VALUE|%.
• The Magistar Incarnon’s Evolution II Perk ‘Crushing Verdict’ has been changed from multiplicative follow-through to base follow-through. This means that the value also changed from +100% to +40% to maintain the same effect. Players should not notice a functional change.
• The Nami Solo Incarnon’s Evolution II Perk ‘Master’s Flourish’ has had its text corrected. The effect has not changed, but the text did not match the effect this perk was providing.
  • The text has been changed from “On Finisher:+20% Health per second for 10s.” to “On Finisher: +40 Health per second for 10s."
• The Syndicate Segment UI panel in your Orbiter has a new look!
  • In addition to its new sleek design, it now shows the Syndicate you are Pledged to more clearly.
  • You can also now see exactly how much Daily Standing you have from this panel instead of having to interact with the Segment.
  • The relation to each Syndicate is now also indicated here.
• Added a “View Augments” option to the Ability preview tooltip that will show you associated Augment Mods (in the Abilities screen itself and at Helminth). Hovering over the Augment Mods in the pop-up will tell you which Syndicates you can acquire them from.
• Moved the “Cursor” customization options from “Customize UI Theme” to the Accessibility tab.
  • Players had reported that these customizations were difficult to find in the settings, so we’ve moved it over to the Accessibility tab since it is inherently an Accessibility option and will have much better visibility there.
• Added Damage/Status Effect icons to correlating mentions in descriptions throughout the game. For example, a Heat icon will now properly display with any mention of “Heat Damage.”
• Unowned Captura Scenes are now indicated by an “eye” icon instead of a “Locked” tag.
• Changed the “Equip” button in the Arsenal to say “Swap”.
• Changed confirmation button from “Give” to “Confirm” in Bird 3’s Shiny Treasures screen.
• Added a subtle on-hover glow to Decrees to make it clearer which one is being selected.
• Updated Inbox sender icons to have consistent backgrounds.
• Added a “Last Equipped” label to the last-equipped Relic in an endless Void Fissure mission. Relics with this label will always appear at the top of the Relic selection screen in-mission.
• The Void Fissure tab in the Navigation Screen will now appear if you have previously owned a Void Relic, even if you don’t currently have any in your inventory.
  • Previously it would only appear if you owned Void Relics (and had the Void Relic Segment installed in your Orbiter).
• Updated the damage type icons to their colored versions to improve visibility in the following UI areas (not exhaustive):
  • Arsenal Stats
  • Simulacrum’s enemy tooltips
  • Lavos’ HUD
  • Alchemy mission HUD (including icons over Amphors)
  • And more!
• Fixed Syndicates with negative reputation saying they are ready to Rank Up when they are at the max amount of negative Standing instead of the minimum.
• Fixed being unable to scroll through the list of Warframes in the “Invert Tap/Hold Abilities” setting.
• Fixed the “Invert Tap/Hold Abilities” menu opening up blank.
• Fixed “How To” option appearing on locked Nightwave Acts.

Players will gain access to the “How To” pop-up once they have completed the Nightwave Act’s prerequisites to avoid spoilers.

• Fixed issues when swapping from a PlayStation controller to a keyboard to type in a text box.
• Fixed the tutorial button missing in the Arsenal when using a controller.
• Fixed the Cedo Daybreak Skin displaying the "This is a cosmetic for Cedo, which you do not own." regardless of Cedo ownership message on-hover in the “Tune in to Nora's Mix Vol. 6” preview screen.
• Fixed Attachments Appearance Menu for Railjack Crew not allowing players to customize energy tint.
• Fixed Necraloid showing up in the Sanctum Anatomica Fast Travel menu for players who are not Rank 5 in the Cavia Syndicate.
• Fixed Open Squads always appearing as 0 regardless of actual Open Squad count when selecting missions from the Chrysalith Elevator.
• Fixed interacting with a Terminal while a Glaive and Incarnon Form Pistol are dual-wielded resulting in only the Incarnon Form reticle being used. Now it should properly swap between Dual-Wield and Incarnon reticles depending on aim state.
• Fixed simultaneous inputs for Transference, opening the pause menu, and opening chat resulting in the Menu screen being aligned to the Warframe instead of the Operator/Drifter.
• Fixed opening Decree Menu simultaneously with another context action in Duviri (ex: playing Komi) resulting in the Decree Menu overlapping the screen.
• Fixed Circuit “Reward Ready to Claim” indicator appearing on top of other UI elements in the Navigation menu.
• Fixed the Mod pick-up pop-up overlapping with the Squad panel in-mission.
• Fixed the Dual Wield (Glaive + Pistol) reticle not being affected by HUD scale settings.
• Fixed Friends list not displaying the correct enemy level and faction (Grineer instead of Murmur) for friends in a Deep Archimedea mission.
• Fixed Clients seeing the Incarnon Evolution challenge UI popping up in Duviri for unowned Incarnon Weapons (players cannot evolve these weapons as they do not own them, so the popup was misleading).
• Fixed the Squad Equipment menu at times not appearing in Relays, Towns, Maroo’s Bazaar, etc.
• Fixed Ash’s Smoke Shadow Augment missing its HUD buff indicator.
• Fixed Conservation markers at times not showing the closest target after completing a Capture.
• Fixed the Earth Razorback Armada node overlapping with the Orbiter in the Star Chart.
• Fixed chat window sometimes moving after joining a mission as Client.
• Fixed various controller-specific UI elements in the Upgrade Screen.
• Fixed Region Chat’s history not properly updating when returning to the Orbiter.
• Fixed reloading reticle remaining on the screen if Voruna’s Ulfrun’s Descent is cast mid-reload.
• Fixed cursor being able to leave the Game Window when interacting with the “Review Logs” terminal in the Sanctum Anatomica.
• Fixed “Reactant Collected” UI tracker lingering in HUD after completing Void Storm and Omni Fissure missions.
• Fixed the ability icons overlapping with the stat box in the Arsenal UI.
• Fixed Index Mission Progress screen having broken UI elements.
• Fixed the Valac Europa node’s Crossfire Faction saying “Grineer VS. Corpus” instead of the intended “Corpus VS. Infested”.
• Fixed “Mission Failed” End of Mission screen showing again after exiting Arsenal if they had just returned from aborting/failing a mission.
• Fixed Infested Salvage Alerts not informing players how many rounds they have to complete in the UI.
• Fixed an issue where the mission results screen wouldn’t open while in the Orbiter when activating the “View Mission Progress” input.
• Fixed an issue where Melee weapon Unique Trait text would become unreadable in the Arsenal Upgrade screen due to the text overlapping while a Stance Mod is equipped.

FINISHER CHANGES

Unified Finisher Mechanics

Before explaining the changes, let’s define a few terms and basic concepts about Finishers:

• Mercy Kills: Available on specialty enemies when they reach certain health thresholds.
• Finishers: Available when a move “opens enemies to finishers”.
• Ground Finishers: Available after certain effects which knock enemies down.

All of the above count as Finishers for relevant Mods, Arcanes, Abilities, etc. Mercy Kills differ slightly as they are specific to your Parazon upgrades which do not apply to other Finishers.

In order to make utilizing finishers easier, we have updated how they function to unify their mechanics:

• Increased the Finisher context action distance for Finishers from in front or behind from 2m to 3m.
• Ground finishers are now performed via context action instead of automatically via Melee Attack input. This should allow players to execute Ground Finishers much more reliably.
  • The “Ground Finisher” context action will appear on enemies in range who are open to Ground Finishers.
• Updated the Mercy Kill context action with unique visuals to clearly distinguish between Mercy Kills and Finishers.
• Updated the overhead icon displayed on enemies open to non-Mercy Finishers.

Enemy Size Scaling

We’ve taken strides in reducing how we scale enemies whenever a Finisher is used against them!

By default, Finishers cause enemies larger than your Warframe (ex: Grineer Bombard and Corrupted Gunners). This had the risk of causing some strange visual issues on the enemies that weren't ideal.

We’ve audited the contact points between the player and the enemy with all Melee Weapon animations to resolve these graphical sizing mishaps!

What this looks like is:

• If a point of contact is present between the player character and an enemy, such as a chokehold or grabbing a limb, enemy scaling will persist.
• If there is no physical point of contact between the player character and an enemy, the enemy scaling doesn’t occur as it isn’t necessary!

Scaling Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where Finishers on Corpus Crewman and Grineer Lancers would stretch their spines. Like an untrained chiropractor.

NEW VIDEO SETTING: REDUCE FRAME LATENCY

We have added a new Video setting: Reduce Frame Latency!

This option can reduce the time between when you act (eg: fire your weapon) and when you see it on-screen (muzzle-flash, tracer etc) and should make the game feel more responsive.

Surprisingly, this option actually needs less VRAM than normal, particularly for high-resolution (4K), ultra-wide, or HDR displays; having more memory VRAM free can reduce texture streaming pops and improve performance by keeping more textures in cache which might compound the effect of making the game feel more responsive.

If you are using a Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) display with a technology like Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync, or you have disabled Vertical Sync (VSync), there should be no drawback at all to using this option.

You may find, however, for fixed refresh-rate displays, particularly at lower frame-rates, that this option might make the game feel less cinematic: your average frame-rate should be the same but some frames might arrive sooner or later and slow camera movements might feel less smooth.

Our hope is that, given Warframe’s typical fast-paced movement, none of the drawbacks will be obvious and the improved responsiveness will enhance your sense of immersion.

While it is currently disabled by default we would encourage everyone to try enabling it so we can gather feedback to decide what the best default should be.

Note: The setting will not take effect until you restart the game.

While we have exposed the option for DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 on PC we have not exposed it for other platforms yet (it has been tested on some though, notably Nintendo Switch, where the VRAM savings are very tempting).

Please let us know how it feels to you (please include your system specs so we can make sure we get feedback from a wide range of systems). Hopefully with your help we can decide if it makes sense to enable it by default. Thanks!

Additions:

New Prex Cards

There’s word that several Prex Cards have been strewn about the Kronia Relay on Saturn - help locate them and add these Warframe’s Prex Cards to your collection!

• Ember Prex Card
• Vauban Prex Card
• Titania Prex Card
• Garuda Prex Card
• Protea Prex Card

New Simulacrum Rooms

New Simulacrum Rooms are available for you to take your simulated fights to the next level!

Similar to the Sanctum Simulacrum room that launched in Dante Unbound, the following rooms allow enemy difficulty to be set 25 levels above the standard maximum.

• Ambulas Arena Simulacrum - Simulate a battle on your foe’s territory.
  • Acquired from The Perrin Sequence offerings at max rank.
• Moonlit Courtyard Simulacrum - Simulate a battle under the light of Lua.
  • Acquired from New Loka offerings at max rank.
• Red Veil Temple Simulacrum - Hone your combat skills under the auspices of the Red Veil.
  • Acquired from Red Veil offerings at max rank.
• Zanuka Arena Simulacrum - Stage a battle in your enemy’s arena for deeper insight into their tactics.
  • Acquired from Arbiters of Hexis offerings at max rank.
• Orokin Derelict Simulacrum - Simulate a battle inside an Orokin Derelict.
  • Acquired from Cephalon Suda offerings at max rank.

  • Acquired from Steel Meridian offerings at max rank.
• Orowyrm Arena Simulacrum - Simulate a battle straight out of Tales of Duviri.
  • Acquired from Acrithis’ Wares.

These new Simulacrum Rooms and the Sanctum Simulacrum Room are also tradeable and sellable! This is so that players can trade between one another without having to switch around their Syndicate Pledges/acquire from Loid for Vessel Capillaries. The Citadel room remains untradeable as it is the default, as well as the Ballroom as it is an event-specific reward.

General Additions

• Added the Cavia Arcane Collection to Loid’s “Arcane Dissolution” Offerings - this Collection has a chance at the following Arcanes:
  • Melee Fortification
  • Melee Retaliation
  • Melee Animosity

  • Melee Vortex
  • Melee Crescendo
  • Melee Duplicate

• Added a separate “Swap Weapons” binding for Railjack.
  • Previously players could unknowingly bind over this functionality as it was not listed in the Key Bindings screen.
• Added an icon above planets in the Navigation Menu once a player has completed all of its nodes.
  • Both Normal Path and Steel Path track planet completion separately, and have their own unique icons to denote completion!
• Added a “Fire Manual Trigger Weapons Continuously” setting to the Accessibility menu.
  • Toggling this on will allow you to shoot manual trigger weapons (including Semi, Burst, and Charge Trigger types) continuously on a singular input.

CHANGES

Ceno & Vahd Suit Now Available For Drifter

Become one with the Ostron as Drifter! The Ceno and Vahd Masks, Pauldrons, Greaves and Apparel have been converted to fit the Drifter and can now be equipped on them.

Purchasing or crafting any of these customizations will include both the Operator and Drifter variants! For those of you that already own Ceno/Vahd items, the Drifter versions will be added to your inventory upon downloading the update and logging in.

In-Game Market Change: Operator Suits that can also be used on Drifter now indicate such in their Market screen. It reads “This item provides cosmetics for both Operator and Drifter”.

Line Of Sight Improvements

As a continuation of our efforts to improve LOS systems within Warframe, which have been ongoing since Dante Unbound, we’ve made further strides towards improving how we handle these checks.

From a technical standpoint, we’ve improved the consistency and performance of the underlying LOS systems within the game by handling how we detect unrendered targets, in addition to improvements we’ve made in recent hotfixes.

Abilities that use LOS checks already have been updated to this improved technology! Additionally, with these improvements, we can now easily shift over any Warframe Ability that relies on LOS checks to be seamlessly migrated to this new, more accurate system, meaning we’re able to act faster on any outlying offenders that may arise.

To name a few Warframe abilities that benefit from this with Jade Shadows:

• Gara's Passive
• Nyx’s Psychic Bolts
• Inaros’ Scarab Swarm
• Wukong’s Primal Fury
• Gyre's Rotorswell
• Styanax's Axios Javelin (Vortex)
• Xaku’s Grasp of Lohk
  • This also fixes ragdolled enemies not getting targeted by Grasp of Lohk weapons.

Deep Archimedea Changes & Fixes

• As mentioned in Devstream #179, Deep Archimedea and Netracells now award Standing with the Cavia Syndicate. Deep Archimedea will award 15,000 Standing upon completion of the third mission with any modifiers (or none at all!) and Netracells will award 5,000 Standing per completed Netracell.
• Reduced the duration reduction of the “Abbreviated Abilities” Personal Modifier from 75% to 50%.
• Changed how Deep Archimedea’s “Untreatable” Personal Modifier interacts with Health Orbs in the following scenarios:
  • Lavos’ Universal Orbs: Energy can now be gained from these Orbs when picked up, but not Health (as intended with this modifier).
  • Equilibrium Mod: Energy can now be gained when picking up Health Orbs, but not the other way around (as intended with this modifier).
    • A “Health Pickup is blocked” HUD pop-up will now appear at the bottom of your screen to help provide more information in the scenarios above.
• Changed “Unified Purpose”’s description to better explain what this Deviation does:
  • Now reads: “Enemies can target and destroy Conduits.”
• Toned down the intensity of Void explosions caused by the “Postmortal Surges” Risk Variable.
• Made the following changes and fixes to the “Powerless” Personal Modifier to improve its functionality:
  • Added an icon to the HUD to indicate the required number of kills. When the kill count requirement is met, the icon will disappear.
  • Fixed Powerless blocking Ability effects from other players interacting with their kits.
  • Fixed Powerless preventing players from using Transference.
  • Fixed Powerless not properly applying to Clients.
  • Fixed an issue where Powerless would appear to not countdown following the first mission, causing the player to be unable to finish the Modifier’s requirements to remove its detriment.
  • Fixed Powerless not progressing from Squad kills while in a Necramech.
• Fixed Clients not receiving Research Points from their selected Individual Parameters equipment if invited by a Host active within a Deep Archimedea Mission.
• Fixed the HUD buff icon for the “Knifestep Syndrome” Personal Modifier remaining visible regardless of whether or not it is actually active.
• Fixed an issue where Client’s wouldn’t have their suggested/chosen Deep Archimedea equipment count towards the activities reward track if invited by a Host already in a Deep Archimedea mission.

Assassin Drop Table Changes

• Increased (Shadow) Stalker’s drop rate for Despair, Scimitar Engines Blueprint, Hate, War, and Broken War to 11.73% each.
  • Dread’s drop chance has been reduced on both Stalker (64.8%) and Shadow Stalker (41.33%) to compensate.
  • Note: The Drop Chance of rolling a reward from this Drop Table is unchanged (i.e. 50%).
• Wolf of Saturn Six now has a guaranteed (100%) Weapon Part drop per kill, increased from 35%.
  • This drop rate was originally designed for The Wolf of Saturn Six Nightwave Series, where a) all players were marked with his Death Mark and b) he had an increasing chance to spawn in-mission while the Series was live. Now, players farming the Wolf Sledge can only do so via Wolf Beacons, so drop rates have been amended with this in mind.

Feral/Wild Kubrow Fur Updates

In the Dante Unbound update we updated the fur on Companion Kubrows to give them a more realistic look and feel. To reiterate:

• Improved lighting and shading response in different environments for better texture resolution.
• Improved fur density so that it looks softer and fluffier.
• Added depth to fur color and shading.

We have applied the same upgrades listed above to the following wild Kubrow-type/adjacent creatures:

• Feral Kubrow
• Drahk
• Sentinel Stover
• Vallis Kubrodon

Changes:

General Changes

• You can now replay the Whispers in the Walls Quest!
  • To re-experience the trials and tribulations between Loid, Albrecht, the Cavia and the creeping Indifference go to your Codex > Quests > Locate the Whispers in the Wall Quest and select the “Replay Quest” button to begin again.
• In order to better manage data, we have added a maximum amount of Adversaries (Kuva Liches and Sisters of Parvos) that can be stored in the Codex’s “Universe” tab.
  • If a player reaches a total of 150 Adversaries (Converted or Vanquished), they will be prompted to make space in their saved history by deleting entries before confronting a new Adversary. This is accomplished by using the “Relinquish Adversaries” option in the Codex.
  • Please note that any Converted Adversaries will no longer be in your inventory if their history is deleted. This is reflected in the confirmation message given when you attempt to Relinquish an Adversary.
• We’ve improved the Warframe neck animations so that they no longer turn their head like an owl and distort their head/neck.
• Improved the responsiveness of holding the Melee Attack input to perform a throw for Melee weapons with ranged attacks (ex: Sigma & Octantis). Pressing and holding the Melee attack input now throws after one swing instead of two.
  • As a result of this change, it is now easier to activate Tennokai with Glaives in the window it is available. Prior to this change, the second swing could prevent you from hitting Tennokai before the timer ran out.
  • This also fixes multiple issues with thrown weapons and Tennokai:
    • Fixed Wolf Sledge not benefitting from Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed Mods or Tennokai’s Wind Up Speed bonus.
    • Fixed instances where the Wolf Sledge’s Tennokai Heavy Attack would not complete (the animation would halt halfway-through and leave players stuck mid swing until they Melee attacked again).
    • Fixed an issue where throwing a Glaive manually (ie. by releasing the Melee attack input instead of auto-throwing) would consume and waste Tennokai unnecessarily.
• Trading Legendary Arcanes now requires you to be Mastery Rank 11.
  • It’s important to note that only the player trading requires MR 11 and not the receiver.
    • We needed to address an issue with exploitative Legendary Arcanes farming and ban-evasion account creation used to trade Legendary Arcanes. Other options we experimented with had the risk of innocent players getting caught in the crossfire of the ban-evasion subjects. When we took a look at Trading stats we found that a very small number of players below Mastery Rank 10 trade Legendary Arcanes, and therefore decided to go this route. This is purely a means of deterring the bad actors and ensuring legitimate trading for players.
• You can now trigger an early start to Void Armageddon waves by interacting with Exodampers.
  • The long period between waves was originally added to give players time to set up beforehand, but for some this wait period was not necessary, so we have added a way to expedite the process for those who want to jump right in!
• Defense missions will no longer be unnecessarily extended whenever enemies are affected by Nyx’s “Mind Control” or Garuda’s “Blood Altar.” Instead, they’ll work similarly to Revenant’s Thralls, where invulnerable enemies don’t count towards the remaining enemy tally required to progress to the next wave.
• We’ve improved enemy spawn logic in Excavation missions to decrease the wait time between completing Excavators.
  • This addresses the player reported issue that it often would take far too long for enemies to spawn when moving from one Excavator to another.
• Topaz Archon Shards have been changed to grant Shields from enemies hit by Blast Damage to enemies killed with it.
  • The description in-game has always stated “Kills” but this was not actually the case - Shields were being regenerated from enemies hit with Blast Damage. While we understand that this changes the efficacy of the perk and deviates away from what players have been used to, the change was made to avoid photosensitivity issues resulting from Shields breaking and recharging quickly in certain scenarios (ex: Mesa’s Peacemaker Regulators with Blast Damage).
• Changed the Braton Incarnon Genesis’s Evolution III Perk (On Punch Through Hit: 20% chance for 10% Ammo restored) to give 10% of the Braton’s Maximum Ammo instead of 10% of an Ammo pickup.
  • On an unmodded Braton Prime, this means the Perk will now give 60 Ammo instead of the previous 8 Ammo when it triggers.
• Updated Market Blueprint descriptions for Warframes, Archwings, Archwing Weapons, Necramechs, and Weapons to more clearly outline the free path to earning them.
  • Descriptions have been standardized to include important details such as:
    • Quest or Mastery Rank requirements
    • Syndicates they are acquired from
    • Specific missions or Planets to farm on
    • Brief instruction on how to acquire necessary keys or currency (ex: Mutalist Alad V Coordinates, Kullervo’s Bane, etc.)
    • And more!
  • While the Wiki is an invaluable resource for many players, our goal is to increase access to key information in-game as a starting off point. For those looking for more in-depth farming tips, the Wiki, our drop table site, and other community-made resources are king.
• Fixed a variety of Warframes and weapons having incorrect or missing Market Blueprint descriptions.
• Updated and standardized resource descriptions for a variety of resources, components, keys, and tokens.
  • Since The Duviri Paradox update introduced the ability to see resource descriptions on-hover in your Foundry - in addition to already being able to Chat Link them - we feel it is especially important that these descriptions include a general overview of how to acquire these items. These are not meant to be comprehensive, but still offer enough detail for players to farm them successfully.
  • Updated descriptions include (but are not limited to) the following:
    • Necralisk Tokens, Debt-Bonds, and Orokin Matrices
    • Rare Gems requiring specific mining tools
    • Damaged Necramech components
    • Items acquired from Invasion missions
    • Items with special acquisition paths (Anomaly Shards, Kullervo’s Bane, etc. )
    • Dragon Keys
    • Sentient Cores
    • Variety of items missing planet or node names, and more.
  • Note: Fishing resources have yet to be updated to this new standard.
• Advanced Nosam Cutter can now be used to acquire Rare Orb Vallis Gems (Zodian and Thyst).
  • Now both the Advanced Nosam Cutter and Sunpoint Plasma Drill can be used to mine all rare gems across landscapes.
  • Also updated rare gem and mining tool descriptions to better communicate these requirements.
• The following Mods are no longer eligible to be traded or sold from Inventory. Essentially, they have been given the same treatment as Mentor’s Legacy to prevent players from removing Mods that can only be acquired once. If you have already sold the following Mods, you can submit a ticket to our fantastic Support Team at support.warframe.com.
  • Mountain's Edge Stance Mod
    • Awarded from completing The Duviri Paradox Quest.
  • Thermia Fracture Rewards - these were already untradeable, we’ve just also made them unsellable from Inventory:
    • Amalgam Serration
    • Amalgam Organ Shatter
    • Amalgam Barrel Diffusion
    • Amalgam Shotgun Barrage
  • Daily Tribute Milestone Login Rewards these were already untradeable, we’ve just also made them unsellable from Inventory:
    • Primed Vigor
    • Primed Shred
    • Primed Sure Footed
    • Primed Fury
• Switching through the different Verse of Dante’s Final Verse will now play the associated video preview for the Verse you have selected instead of looping through the same video for all.
• The VFX of Excalibur’s Exalted Blade has had a visual refresh! The energy emanating from the Blade has an all new flow to it.
• GI Lighting Changes & Fixes:
  • Adjusted ambient GI lighting in the Orbiter for better contrast in the lighting.
    • This also improves the lightning in the Arsenal, which we received feedback on being too dark for the purposes of fashion framing. We have more changes and fixes planned for the next update.
  • Updated GI Lighting in the Helminth room, including improvements to the pond beneath the floor to increase fish visibility.
  • Adjusted lighting throughout the Orbiter to feel more realistic based on direct vs indirect light sources.
  • Updated the lighting on various waters in the Drifter Camp so that the waterfalls aren’t glowing white and blown out at night. Also fixed being unable to see the fog over the landscape when viewing it from the Orbiter window.
  • Fixed GI lighting shadow issues with Decorations in the Orbiter.
  • Fixed some indirect lighting in the Orbiter to help alleviate areas that were far too dark.
• Synced Last Gap’s controller haptics with the heart beat sound.
• Improved the frequency of appearance for the new Albrecht’s Laboratories tiles that were released with Dante Unbound.
• Updated older Grineer decals to improve resolution and quality.
• Changed Tenet Diplos to continuously burst fire at already marked targets while aiming and holding the firing input.
• Argon Crystals are now automatically waypointed when dropped by enemies or resource containers in-mission.
• "Parkour Velocity" mods now affect a few more parkour-related activities:
  • Increases velocity when wall running parallel to the wall
  • Increases velocity when wall jumping away from a wall
  • Increases the instantaneous velocity change when performing a double jump
• Updated the visual materials on the Dread, Hate, and Despair.
  • This change also made many untintable areas now tintable (notably all of the metal on the Dread).
• Updated the “From on High” Nightwave Act description to include K-Drives.
  • It now reads: “Kill 100 grounded enemies while soaring above the Plains of Eidolon, Orb Vallis, or Cambion Drift on your K-Drive or Archwing.”
• Removed the Kuva Sobek from Conclave eligibility due to not being Conclave balanced.
• Updated Lavos’ Valence Formation Augment Mod description for accuracy (the Augment itself has not changed, this is only a description update).
  • It now reads: “Casting an Ability imbued with extra Elemental Damage applies that Element as a 200% bonus to your weapons with guaranteed Status for 20s.”.
• Adjusted Ordis’ Camera angle and gave him Idle Animations in the Drifter Camp during the New War Quest.
• Your Warframe falling into a void while in Transference will no longer cause a screen fade-to-block which deactivates your Warframe’s abilities.
  • Players often hop into Operator/Drifter mode to traverse gaps, but doing so over a void would reset your Warframe once they hit the teleport volume. If you ever experienced a fade-to-black while Void Slinging over a void, this was what caused it! Now this will no longer happen, provided you are in Transference when your Warframe falls into the teleport volume.
• Kuva and Tenet weapons with 58% Elemental Bonus or above will now automatically round that value up to 60%.
  • Players who have existing Tenet and Kuva weapons (including those pending in the Foundry) with 58%+ Valence Bonus will have this value rounded up to 60% upon logging in after downloading the update.
• Increased the window for players to join an in-progress mission when playing a Star Chart node for the first time.
  • Previously, the window was much smaller for first-time joiners, to avoid them missing key cutscenes or transmissions that appear at the start of the mission. The unintended result was that many players ended up starting a new session and playing the mission alone.
• Made a small adjustment to ambient sounds in the Strata Relay.
• The Warframe Launcher will now display “Downloading new content” once the download actually starts.
  • Previously it said “Checking for new content” when both checking and downloading the content.
• Reduced the damage of the Juggernaut’s ranged spine strike.
  • The amount of Toxin Status Effects it caused could be difficult for newer players to tackle, so we’ve reduced it to make it more manageable.
• Updated the Helminth Ability “Expedite Suffering” description for accuracy (the ability itself has not changed, this is only a description update).
  • Now reads: "Condense all Slash and Toxin Status Effects into a single damage instance."
• Updated Dante’s Fourth Ability “Final Verse: Tragedy” description for accuracy (the ability itself has not changed, this is only a description update)..
  • Now reads: “Two Dark Verses cast in succession attack enemies. Damage Over Time from Slash, Heat and Toxin Status Effects accumulates in a single blast.”
• Updated the Templar Prime Operator/Drifter Transference Suit Collection to clarify its usability by both the Operator and Drifter.
  • Now reads: “The dress uniform worn with pride by Harrow's faithful legions. Includes the full set for both Operator and Drifter.”
• Updated Nezha’s “Divine Retribution” Augment description for accuracy (the Augment itself has not changed, this is only a description update).
  • Now reads: “Status Effects spread to all speared enemies. Spear explosions scale by 1.5x of remaining Slash, Toxin and Heat Status Effects. Base Radius is 14m.”
• Changed the Update Screen to use release date (year and month) instead of the update numbers for the listed Updates.

Fixes:

TOP FIXES

• Fixed Dante’s passive only applying to enemies who were scanned in-mission. Now it should apply to enemies who were fully scanned before the mission started.
• Fixed Sevagoth’s Shadow not benefiting from the Shadow Haze Augment Mod on enemies inflicted with Death’s Harvest.
• Fixed being unable to Auto-Melee as Chroma while Spectral Scream is active.
• Fixed held items (Datamass for example) causing visibility issues with the Grimoire equipped.
  • The item will now be hidden when aiming and/or firing with the Grimoire to prevent it from blocking view.
• Fixed being unable to throw Voidrig’s Necraweb Grenade.
• Fixed the “Loid” fast travel option in the pause menu taking you to the front of the doors to the Sanctum Anatomica instead of directly to him.
• Fixed the Host’s invisibility option for Warframe abilities (Semi-Cloak or Glow-Cloak) overriding Clients’ invisibility option.
• Fixed Melee Crescendo stacks vanishing after Host migration for Ash players that collected them with Blade Storm while holding a Primary Weapon.

• Fixed loss of function when attempting to leave Submersible Archwing in the Grineer Sealab Tileset.
• Fixed Shade’s Ghost Mod randomly deactivating while surrounded by enemies who are in range.
  • This was because Shade would choose one target to trigger invisibility, meaning the effect would end once they were killed. Now this Mod’s effect is no longer tied to one target, so the invisibility will persist so long as players do not engage in behaviors that will disrupt it.
• Fixed Zephyr’s Tail Wind not deactivating while the player is in Bleedout.

• Fixed a case of the Total Eclipse Augment offering a permanent Eclipse buff for Clients if another player also casts Eclipse.
