We’re back this week with a look at what important changes came to our PC and Console versions of Warframe. Been too busy speculating about The Sacrifice to read our patch notes? Worry not! We’ve compiled the highlights down below. 

PC – WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

QOL Changes:

· Doubled the maximum amount of 'Loadout' slots you can purchase with Platinum (now 20 max)!

· A new ‘DECORATOR’ Role has been added to Dojo hierarchies! This role will allow the player to place/remove Decorations and change room colors/lighting, but without the ability the destroy/build rooms.

· Added a ‘Contribute All’ button for Dojo room/Decoration Resource contributions, and Dojo Research contribution.

· Added a ‘Reset’ button to the Obstacle Course to clear all Decorations.

· Leaving the launcher idle will now periodically re-check for updates every 30 minutes; again, if you want to go to bed before a major update this means you can just leave the launcher open and it'll download it while you sleep!

In-Mission:

· In an effort to make Excavation Fissures more enjoyable and successful, we've increased the Void Fissures spawn rates depending on how many Excavators are deployed!

· For consistency, damage link abilities (Trinity, Nidus, Nekros) will no longer transmit self-damage, but you will still get the damage reduction.

CONSOLES – WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

Quick Update Recap:

If you missed some of the significant changes that came in this week’s update, here’s a quick recap. For full details on what each of these entail, please read our update notes: XB1 | PS4

· Saryn Re-Revisited.

· Dojo Revisted 2.0, including Room Lighting Controls and custom Obstacle Courses.

· GPU Particles

Virtual Cursor:

In preparing for the big UI changes coming in the future, we introduced the new Virtual Cursor in this update! This free-moving virtual cursor is the new default way in which you interact with menus and the items within those menus.

We posted a dedicated Dev Workshop on the virtual cursor, and followed up with our action plan on how we will be further improving this system: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/964411-dev-workshop-virtual-cursor-action-plan/

We are still iterating on these changes following community feedback, so if you have suggestions on how to improve this new feature, please leave them in the megathread: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/963773-xb1ps4-virtual-cursor-feedback-megathread/

In-Mission:

· Melee attacks (including spin attacks) will no longer sweep through walls or objects. Please read our Dev Workshop for Melee insight!

· Eidolon Lures will wait until the Eidolon has fully disappeared to be auto-destroyed, instead of being auto-destroyed when the sun rises at dawn.

· Replaced Comba and Scrambus’ nullify aura has been replaced with a power that they can activate in combat. Upon use, it creates an expanding sphere that nuffilies players’ powers, and disrupts them for 2.5 seconds. Shooting off Scrambus/Comba’s helmet (or killing them) will negate the sphere.

· Added new Fishing HUD. Selecting a Spear in your Gear wheel will open the Fishing HUD where you can switch between Spear, Dye, and Bait on the fly.

· Improved the layout and flow of the Grineer Shipyard Defense tile, including adding new navigation and buildings to give AI more of a 360 degree attack option.

Napalm and Rocket Bombard QoL Changes:

· Reduced Bombard’s rocket explosion radius from 6m to 4m, and Napalm’s from 10m to 4m.

· Fixed smoke trail behind Bombard and Napalm’s rocket to persist for life of projectile (trail was disappearing after 8s and 5s of flight time respectively, making it very hard to see the rocket).

· Reduced lifetime of Napalm’s fire explosion FX from 10s to 7s. Added a damage element to those fire FX - Minor Heat damage and Heat proc if touched.

Grand Theft Darygn:

Added the ability to commandeer occupied Dargyns in the following ways:

· Shoot the Pilot, causing the Dargyn to float gracefully to the ground.

· Use Loki’s Switch Teleport on the Pilot.

· Use a finisher from behind while using Archwing.

· Also Increased mounted Dargyn projectile damage from 250 to 450 and increased the clip size from 50 to 75.

Miscellaneous:

· Added a 'CLAIM ALL' button to the Foundry that appears when you have more than 1 item ready to Claim.

· Exiting the Relic selection menu now counts as a non-vote instead of a decline.

· We now show you what camera is being highlighted in Advanced Captura Mode.

· Improved Captura speed multiplier controls for controllers.

· Added the ability to replay the Once Awake Quest!
