UPDATE 41: THE OLD PEACE

Face the Past. Shape the Future 

We could not be more elated for you to experience all that The Old Peace has to offer! This final update of 2025 sets the stage for our next major chapter with a heart-rending revisit to the past. 

Return to the battlefields of old and relive your experiences on Tau with our latest cinematic Quest: The Old Peace. Albrecht Entrati’s trail leads beyond the Origin System. Only by delving into the past can the path ahead be made clear —  but buried secrets can be deadly. 

Completing the Quest will grant you access to the Dark Refractory – a new Navigation access point to new gamemodes: The Perita Rebellion and Descendia. You can also save the Quest for later if you want to jump right into these game modes with a new experimental feature called Mission Preview! 

Relive repressed memories of the calamitous battles on Tau as the Operator in The Perita Rebellion or descend the Infernums of Roathe’s mind, wracked with memories of a violent past in Descendia.

Roathe, along with the rest of The Devil’s Triad Protoframes Marie Leroux and Lyon Allard, reside in La Cathédrale. A location somewhere in time accessible from a new portal in the Sanctum Anatomica (Deimos). They can all be talked to and romanced (if your heart desires) in the KIM system. Their Gemini Skins and Emotes are also available in the Market!

Bring the essence of the ultimate Tenno power to the battlefield! Focus has received a massive expansion in this update with the introduction of Tauron Strikes – a mighty power harnessed through the Focus Schools. Unlock Strikes by acquiring Tektolyst Artifacts, weapons summoned by the Operator and wielded by your Warframe to devastate the battlefield. 

Operators and Drifters have received a significant remaster! Every feature has had an overhaul to elevate your unique look and bring a more realistic feel to these characters. On login, you will meet your remastered Operator and Drifter with the team’s best efforts to adapt their premaster looks, which you can customize further if desired. 

There’s even more to explore in this update! Meet our 63rd Warframe Uriel, the Heretic of Xata. Shoot and slash with the Vinquibus, a new Bayonet weapon type that is both a Primary and Melee. Expand your Arsenal further with two Orokin-era Grineer weapons and 9 new Arcanes. Shock and awe with Gyre Prime Access. Earn Honoria, profile titles to wear proudly and howl at Lua with the Voruna Medeina Collection. 

And so much more including Operation: Blood of Perita which commences December 16th! We will have a dedicated Operation post once it's live explaining how you can participate. Prepare by completing The Old Peace Quest, which is the prerequisite to be able to trade Operation currency for rewards at Roathe.  

Thank you for an incredible year of Warframe! We hope you love The Old Peace as much as the DE team had making it. 

Spoiler Courtesy

While everyone will find the truth eventually, we ask that our best Tauron Academy students help preserve the mystery for fellow Tenno as they enjoy the update at their own pace. Please read our Spoiler Courtesy PSA to learn more about how you can post with best spoiler-free practices! 

Update 41 is a Mainline Update! 

Meaning that everything the team has been working on since the launch of Update 40: The Vallis Undermind is in this update (with the obvious exception of content that is not ready to be released). It is very likely, as it is with all Mainline updates, that things slip through the cracks so we will be watching for bug reports and feedback in the dedicated The Old Peace subforums to address in follow-up Hotfixes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We highly encourage you to read the entirety of The Old Peace patch notes to learn the nitty gritty that’s been wrapped into this update! But if you are looking for something in specific, simply search the following keywords to jump to its dedicated section in the spoilers below: 

Image Description: Uriel stands in proud defiance waving a yellow flag while flanked by Valdur to his left and the Sentient Adis to his right as the carnage of the war on Tau’s moon ensues. Hauntingly towering over the battlefield in the distance is the Hunhullus, a colossal Sentient weapon.

NEW CINEMATIC QUEST: THE OLD PEACE

Using Albrecht's Dark Refractory, delve deep into memories thought lost to time, memories of Tau and the fragile peace brokered between Orokin and Sentient. What happened in the past to make such bitter enemies in the present? With the help of your friend, Adis Truth-bloom, only the Tenno can uncover the real story of Tau.

Image Description: Excalibur Prime is poised in midair to fire an arrow from his bow at the face of the colossal Sentient weapon, the Hunhullus. 

During The Old Peace Quest, you’ll relive the war-torn memories of the Operator and Excalibur Prime. The latter’s usage is solely tied to the Quest and does not carry over to your Arsenal if you do not own him. It's important we continue to honor our Founders in this memory with the Prime that breathed life into Warframe. We hope you enjoy this experience! 

At certain key pivotal moments, you will come upon Somatic Bearers in the form of a spectral Excalibur Prime kneeling. This is a place to escape the horrors of war and remember that you are not alone in this fight. Tenno who have played the Quest before you may leave behind a memory here for you to call upon for aid and you too can do the same for those who come after.

The Tau levels in the quest feature new volumetric wind, an experimental system that delivers more realistic wind interactions. In the quest, this allows certain abilities and weapons to blow particles and cloth around. We will be slowly rolling this system out in the game in the future. 

Prerequisite

DISCLAIMER: This screenshot was taken on the Dev build and is not reflective of the current live events – Operation: Blood of Perita begins December 16th. 

DARK REFRACTORY

Slip deep into memories of another time and place in the Dark Refractory… Descend into the Infernums of Roathe’s mind as the Drifter in Descendia and the memories of war-torn Tau as the Operator in The Perita Rebellion. 

Upon completing The Old Peace Quest or using the Mission Preview Feature, the Dark Refractory will appear as an additional option at Navigation. This is where you access the two new gamemodes, Descendia and The Perita Rebellion. 

Image Description: Screenshot of the Dark Refractory option appearing under the Navigation option in the Orbiter. Marie (Wisp’s Protoframe) is to the left of the screenshot looking at the options.

Note: Players will not currently receive Steel Path trophies for their completion of Steel Path missions in The Dark Refractory. We aim to release these in early 2026 — thank you for your understanding and patience, Tenno!

Learn more about each gamemode in their dedicated sections below. 

Mission Preview Feature

We’re introducing a new feature with The Old Peace: the ability to preview new gameplay content immediately, regardless of Quest completion status. This preview mechanic is designed to let newer players join their friends in-mission and allow returning players to try out the latest content even if they haven’t finished all of their Quests.

This option will not skip Quests — think of it as getting a taste of The Old Peace gamemodes, where you can play with friends right away, but you’ll still need to play the main story to make use of your rewards!

To keep this balanced around that intention, it has a few caveats:

• Players must have completed The Teacher quest before they can use Mission Preview.
• Mission Preview players cannot publicly matchmake into Dark Refractory missions if they are below Mastery Rank 10.
• Mission Preview players do not have access to The Devil’s Triad vendors, new Protoframe KIM chats, or any other Quest-locked content outside of the two new gamemodes (with the exception of Focus School access in The Perita Rebellion, as a preventative measure for potential issues that could arrive from Mission Preview players not having Operators).

This is an experimental feature, borne from the reality that, after 13 years, letting new and returning players jump into shiny new content is important for our longevity. Rest assured, we’ll be keeping a close eye on its implementation should any additional changes be needed.

WARNING: By previewing missions you may encounter story spoilers, and face extremely difficult gameplay intended for experienced players with fully modded, max rank weapons and Warframes. 

How to Access: The Mission Preview button is located in the Update Highlights screen, which will pop up on login. It is also accessible from the Pause Menu.

Image Description: Screenshot of the Updates Highlights screen, where details of the update are listed but the focus is on the “Mission Preview” button which is to the right of the screen underneath the “How to Play” button.

NEW GAMEMODE: DESCENDIA

Step into Roathe’s waking nightmare as the Drifter. Dive into Descendia and discover what fresh horrors await you with each new Infernum. Each week offers new rewards and challenges as you journey into Roathe’s mind.

Image Description: Screenshot of The Descendia UI, highlighted is The Precipice - the first floor.  Various rewards are shown at the different floors, the options for either Normal or Steel Path, and a fiery button to “Descend”.

Descend through The Precipice, with its 21 Infernums (floors) and encounter challenges ranging from single-wave Defense targets, to time trials, Gruzzling hunts, Kullervo confrontations, and more. Each Infernum is burdened by a Penance — a modifier that shapes how you must master the floor’s objective. 

The further you progress, the more rewards you will earn, with each Infernum Reward being awarded once per week. It’s time to head into hell and see if you regret your deal with a devil, Tenno.

Descendia is a weekly game mode which resets each Monday at 0:00 UTC. Infernum objectives, Penances, Blessings, and Rewards will all reset at this time.

How to Access

After completing The Old Peace or opting in to Mission Preview via the Update Highlights screen, Descendia is accessible via the Dark Refractory. Select “Descendia” and choose your difficulty (normal or Steel Path*) to begin your descent into The Precipice. 

*Steel Path in Descendia is accessible when/if you have unlocked Steel Path on the Star Chart. 

The first descent of each week always starts at the top of The Precipice, but for those who reach Infernum 7 or 14, you may start from there at any point during the week. It’s like a hellevator to your latest checkpoint. Your progress on the Normal Path and The Steel Path are tracked separately, so you can only access these checkpoints on the paths you earned progress on.

Gameplay

Infernums

Descendia consists of 21 Infernums, floors within the Precipice. Each Infernum has its own mission objective, as well as a Penance (challenge modifiers). 

Unlock rewards every 2 Infernums completed after a checkpoint, with a bonus reward after Infernum 21 — meaning players can expect 10 Infernum rewards for a full descent! 

Infernums 7 and 14 act as checkpoints, where you will run into Marie (7) and Lyon (14), both of whom will give you a Blessing to help as you descend further into the horrors. 

Penance

Each Infernum may be impacted by a Penance, of which there are many held within this torturous tower. Penances change with each Infernum — so prepare by bringing your best gear to take on the varying challenges during your descent. 

Penances for all Infernums change weekly to challenge your might, whether that’s meteors falling from the sky, Liminus leeching off your every move, or enemies lighting you on fire with interconnected chains from hell. Roathe’s mind knows no bounds when it comes to making The Precipice a fresh hell. 

You may be afflicted by any of the following Penances: 

• Arbitration Drones - Enemy spawns are protected by Arbitration Drones.

Blessings

On Infernums 7 and 14, you will encounter Marie (7) and Lyon (14)! A brief reprieve from the constant nightmare of Roathe’s memories, they will provide you with a choice of two Blessings, you must choose one before continuing your descent into chaos. 

The Blessings you choose from Marie and Lyon will persist for that difficulty throughout the week, and reset on Monday at 0:00 UTC with the rest of Descendia. If you choose to replay Descendia you will receive Marie’s Blessing once you pass through Floor 7 and Lyon’s Blessing at Floor 14.

NEW GAMEMODE: THE PERITA REBELLION

Memory is a powerful tool. Return to the battlefields of old and relive your experiences in the Perita Rebellion on Tau.

Each Perita Rebellion memory can be sustained for 12 minutes, culminating in a final boss battle with unique rewards. Accomplish as much as you can with the time available to you to earn upgrades for your final showdown.

Mission Selection

Image Description: Screenshot of the Mission Selection UI for The Perita Rebellion. Three memories are available to be recalled: Hunhullus, Dactolyst, and Vanguard as well as the choice of Focus School to represent while recalling.

Choose which memory to return to — and which foe to face off against —  via the new Dark Refractory menu available from the Navigation console.

In this menu, you are presented with the following missions:

• Recall: Hunhullus
• Recall: Dactolyst
• Recall: Vanguard

Each Recall mission determines which foe you will face at the end — they each come with their own rewards, which we will cover later on!

On this screen, you can choose which Focus School to use during The Perita Rebellion. Your Operator retains their knowledge of Tauron Strikes, so you will be able to use the Strike of your chosen Focus School, regardless of if you have unlocked the corresponding Tektolyst Artifact. For more information on Tauron Strikes, check out the “Focus School Expansion”  section. 

Image Description: A closeup of the Focus School selection in The Perita Rebellion screen. From left to right the icons of each school are displayed: Naramon, Zenurik, Vazarin (highlighted to indicate it is the current selection), Unairu, and Madurai.
 

Your chosen Focus School also determines what Initiative Buffs your Warframe can earn throughout your mission, by completing Encounters and finding Initiative Fragments. These fragments are similar to Decree Fragments in the Undercroft, in that they are squad wide pickups. 

The Perita Rebellion can be experienced on the Normal and Steel Path (if players have unlocked The Steel Path on the Star Chart). 

Gameplay

Entering your memories of the Perita Rebellion starts a 12 minute timer. Your objective is to further the Rebellion’s cause with the time available to you, earning additional rewards and upgrades as you complete Encounters. 

Encounters are mission objectives that serve to help your allies —  eliminating foes, destroying scanners, and more. The more Encounters you complete, the better prepared you will be for your final showdown.

The Perita Rebellion takes place in large battle grounds and sprawling trenches on the first known Tau moon. With the clock ticking down, traversing the landscape quickly is a must. Anchors (grapple points) hover above the war torn fields that can be used to launch you where you need to go. 

Image Description: A Warframe stands within one of the expansive trenches of The Perita Rebellion landscape with an Anchor floating above. The Anchor, composed of two concentric gold rings, contains crackling energy. 

These are directional launching points that allow you to change your travel direction while in the air – which can be canceled at any time by jumping. Using Anchors also applies the Void’s Grasp buff that temporarily applies Void Damage to your weapons. 

Keyboard Functionality with Anchors: If you have an older keyboard that has limited input functionality (in other words, not “n-key rollover” eligible), you may need to release a movement input (such as, moving forward) to allow the Anchors to function. If you encounter this, we suggest rebinding your “Context Action” to “G” as a possible solution. You may also be able to verify if your keyboard model is “n-key rollover” eligible online beforehand (no guarantees of results). 

Rewards from Encounters:

• Initiative Upgrades: every 1 Encounter
• Tektolyst Artifact Resource: every 1 Encounter
  • The resource you earn is determined by your mission choice. See “Final Showdown” for more information.
• Reward from Rotation A on the mission droptable: every 3 Encounters
  • See “General Mission Rewards” section below for more information on how to read mission droptables.

Commandeered Primes:

While on the battlefield, your foes may send a Commandeered Prime Warframe your way in hopes of cutting you down. These foes drop additional rewards when defeated!

• Normal Path: Chance to drop a Tektolyst Mod 
• Steel Path: Chance to drop a Tektolyst Mod and guaranteed chance to drop a Tektolyst Arcane
  • Commandeered Primes also drop 1 Steel Essence on The Steel Path.

 

Earning Initiative Buffs

Completing Encounters or collecting three Initiative Fragments (seen in screenshot below) will earn buffs for your Warframe, determined by your chosen Focus School. Earning subsequent Upgrades will stack their effects.

Image Description: An Initiative Fragment floats atop a rock formation deep within a cave in The Perita Rebellion landscape as a small group of red crystal shards. Its soft blue glow stands out across the mist that has filled the lower sections of the cave.

Available upgrades are as follows:

• Madurai: +25% Primary and Secondary Damage, and +25% Fire Rate
• Vazarin: +25% Max Health and +25% Status Chance
• Naramon: +25% Melee Critical Chance and +25% Melee damage
• Unairu: +25% Armor and +25% Impact Damage

• Zenurik: +25% Ability Strength and +25% Ability Duration
• Any Focus School: +25% Max Health and +25% Multishot

Image Description: The Hunhullus, a colossal Sentient looms in the sky in The Perita Rebellion landscape. Its size rivals the crater walls below it as its blue energy glows in the night sky.

Final Showdown

After your 12 minutes have elapsed, you will be transported to a boss Arena to face off against your chosen foe. In addition to the listed rewards, players will receive 3 Steel Essence after completing any Steel Path mission in The Perita Rebellion.

Recall: Hunhullus

Take on the giant Hunhullus and master the use of Marrowtics to optimize your damage output against its Synovias. An enemy of this size requires use of all the tools available to you — we recommend ensuring that your Archwing loadout is up to snuff before venturing into this battle. 

Defeating the Hunhullus rewards Lyroic Bridges, which can be exchanged with Marie for Tektolyst Artifacts.

 

Recall: Dactolyst

Guilt is a strange beast, and this is just one way to face it. 

Defeating the Dactolyst rewards Ren Hypercores, which can be exchanged with Marie for Tektolyst Artifacts.

Recall: Prime Vanguard

Warframes appeared on both sides of the battlefield. Take on Ash Prime, Protea Prime, Mesa Prime, Caliban Prime, Volt Prime and Ember Prime all at once!

Defeating the Prime Vanguard rewards Ascaris Primes, which can be exchanged with Marie for Tektolyst Artifacts.

General Mission Rewards:

In addition to the specialized rewards from each boss, completing The Perita Rebellion will reward the following:

• Resources: Agnovidisc, Laudavi, and Servoris
• Tektolyst Artifact Mods
• Tektolyst Artifact Arcanes
• Sagek Prime Blueprints
• Galariak Prime Blueprints

As mentioned in the “Rewards from Encounters” section, these rewards are pulled from different rotations in The Perita Rebellion droptables when players achieve certain criteria. 

Rotation A:

• Rewarded every 3 Encounters Completed

The Rotation A droptable includes:

• Endo, Credits, and The Perita Rebellion resources (Agnovidisc, Laudavi, and Servoris)

• Rewarded upon mission completion

The Rotation C droptable includes:

• Tektolyst Artifact Arcanes

New Enemy Faction: Anarchs 

Out in the war torn fields of Perita you will encounter the Anarchs, a new faction comprised of separatist Dax units and the six Commandeered Prime Warframes. Scan them out in battle to learn more in your Codex. 

Anarchs are vulnerable to Impact and Electricity damage and resistant to Radiation. 

Anarch Arcus
A ranged unit with precise aim. 

Anarch Capsarii 
A field medic for the fallen, wielding a shield and staff. 
 

Anarch Gladius
Proficient with the blade, this sword wielding melee unit seeks to eliminate effectively. 

Anarch Libritor
Wielding the Libritor Archgun, this unit packs a thunderous punch. 
 

Anarch Tenebra
Agile and elusive, this thrown blade unit will keep you on your toes. 
 

Anarch Grineer Lancer
The front line of the Orokin legions. 
 

Anarch Grineer Trapper
Trained in the operation of Trapper Drones. 

With the introduction of the Anarchs, we’ve also added a “Anarch Battlegroup” to the Simulacrum enemy spawner. As a reminder, you need to have scanned 30% of a Faction for their battlegroup to appear. 

New The Perita Rebellion Somachord Tones

The following Somachord Tones can be found throughout The Perita Rebellion landscape: 

• Deepest Dark
• Flowers Fall
• Ironclad
• Executor
• The Unremembered
• His Light
• Lullaby of the Manifold
• Lullaby of the Manifold - Adis’s Lament
• Lullaby of the Manifold - Dusk

 

FOCUS SCHOOL EXPANSION

Bring the essence of the ultimate Tenno power to the battlefield.  Pierce the front with a mighty bow, bring low mechanical terror with a glorious sword and shatter ground with a whirlpooling vortex. Find power in the antiquity of the Orokin empire with Tauron Strikes — a new Focus power harnessed by the Tenno. 

Before diving into the details, let’s start first by quickly defining Tektolyst Artifacts and Tauron Stikes, as well as the relationship between the two: 

• Tektolyst Artifacts are Focus School weapons that perform Tauron Strikes in-mission. Artifacts are upgraded with specialized Arcanes and Mods in the Operator/Drifter Equipment management. You must first own an Artifact in order to gain access to its respective Tauron Strike. 
• Tauron Strikes are the abilities and persistent effects that originate from Tektolyst Artifacts. They are upgraded from new Focus School nodes that are unveiled per school upon acquiring their Artifacts. They are also very effective against true bosses (boss with HUD Health bar)!

Image Description: Excalibur Prime wielding the Vexoric - Naramon’s Tektolyst Artifact mid strike. The massive longsword overflows with Void energy as it prepares to release a strike at a towering enemy turret in the distance.

TAURON STRIKES

Accessing Tauron Strikes

There are two way to accessing the Tauron Strikes:

1. Temporarily in The Perita Rebellion missions: 

Your chosen Focus School in The Perita Rebellion screen grants you access to the associated Tauron Strike, regardless if you own the associated Tektolyst Artifact.

This is a great way to try out each of the Tektolyst Artifacts prior to acquiring them permanently from Marie (more information below). 

Image Description: Screenshot of the Perita Rebellion UI with the cursor hovering over the Madurai Focus School. The hover reveals the Thara Tauron Strike and bonuses to primary and secondary damage along with increased fire rate if selected.

2. Permanently by acquiring Tektolyst Artifacts and unlocking Tauron Strike Focus nodes:

To unlock a Focus School’s Tauron Strike for gameplay outside of The Perita Rebellion, you  must first acquire its Tektolyst Artifact from Marie in La Cathédrale in the Sanctum Anatomica. 

Purchasing Artifacts from Marie requires new resources earned from completing the final encounter in the following Perita Rebellion missions:  

• Ren Hypercore: Rewarded from defeating the Dactolyst
• Ascaris Prime: Rewarded from defeating the Vanguard 
• Lyroic Bridge: Rewarded from defeating the Hunhullus 

The Tektolyst Artifact Acquisition Pack  (one time purchase) is also available in the Market, which provides the exact amount of each (150) to acquire one Tektolyst Artifact from Marie. 

You must have the Focus School unlocked first before being able to purchase its Tektolyst Artifact. 

Once you’ve acquired a Tektolyst Artifact, the corresponding Focus School will expand with new nodes dedicated to increasing the power of your Tauron Strike! We cover specifics of the nodes in the “New Focus School Nodes” section. 
 

Tektolyst Artifacts 

Tektolyst Artifacts are equipped by activating the associated Focus School. For example, activating Madurai will auto-equip the Thara Tektolyst Artifact in the Equipment screen. 

Image Description: Screenshot of the Operator Equipment UI with the cursor hovering on the Lorak - Zenurik’s Tektolyst Artifact. The hover reveals the Upgrade and Appearance options.

From the Operator Equipment screen you can a) upgrade your Artifact and b) customize its appearance! You can also access these options from the Arsenal. 

Image Description: Screenshot of the Arsenal UI with the cursor hovering on the new slot for the Tektolyst Artifact. The hover reveals three options: Focus School, Upgrade, and Appearance.

We’ll get into the specifics of upgrading your Artifact down below, but first let’s take a look at each Focus School’s Tektolyst Artifact! 

 

Thara (Madurai) 

The unwavering Bow of the school of Madurai. To face its wielder is to fight against its Tauron Strike, the tempestuous power of the Void itself; and there it has been lost since time immemorial. 

 Vexoric (Naramon) 

The incisive Blade of the school of Naramon. A sword that cleaves fate as cleanly as its Tauron Strike would any mountain, should it ever be discovered in the vastness of the Void. 

Cogron (Unairu) 

The mighty Hammer of the school of Unairu. Now lost to the Void, but if found, its Tauron Strike would be granted strength enough to topple armies. 

Nidri (Vazarin) 

The righteous Staff of the school of Vazarin. Before being lost to the Void, it was a weapon whose very presence could signal the end to a conflict, such is the destructive power of its Tauron Strike. 

Lorak (Zenurik) 

The overpowering Grimoire of the school of Zenurik was perhaps ever destined for the Void. Though powerful, the ruinous secrets it whispers through its Tauron Strike can drive even the clearheaded to madness. 

 

Using Tauron Strikes

To use your Tauron Strike, you must charge it up to full! There are three ways to accomplish this: 

1. Eliminating Enemies 

All killed enemies grant a flat amount of Tauron Strike Charge with or without Focus Lenses. Ally kills within Affinity range also provide charge.

2. Focus Lenses 

Focus Lenses provide a bonus increase to the Charge Rate of your Tauron Strike. Each Lens type (Base, Greater, Eidolon and Lua) all grant +10% charge rate. 

3. Picking up Convergence Orbs, which now have three functions:

1. Granting a base amount of Focus on pickup and multiplying the amount of Affinity converted to Focus Points (unchanged) 
2. Granting an instant amount of Tauron Strike charge (20% per Orb), as well as buffing the charge rate from killing enemies during a 45s window. 
   • Tauron Strike charge is granted regardless of Daily Focus Cap! The Orbs will change from yellow to blue to indicate that you are at cap, but that you will still receive Tauron Strike charge on pickup. 
      

4. Automatically in The Perita Rebellion boss fights 

• Your Tauron Strike will automatically charge up overtime once while in a Perita Rebellion  boss fight (Hunhullus, Dactolyst and the Vanguard). However, if you already have a fully charged Tauron Strike upon entering the arena, it will not automatically charge after use. In other words, this automatic charging only applies if you enter the area without a charge already ready to go. 
• The previously mentioned methods also apply on top of the automatic charging. 

Once charged, activate your Tauron Strike by using Transference and pressing the corresponding binding, unleashing an Activation effect, followed by a Persistent effect (learn more in the “New Focus School Nodes” section). 

• Activation effects are your big, dramatic swings, summoning Warframe with Operator to bring forth the Void manifest to the battlefield.
• Persistent effects provide long-lasting buffs, area of effect hotspots or enemy debuffs. 

Operator HUD Changes

The Operator HUD has been updated to communicate Tauron Strike charge rate in addition to Amp Magazine and Operator Energy.

• Circular gauge:
  • Previous: Operator Energy 
  • Now: Displays the charge of your Tauron Strike. Once the gauge is full, your Tauron Strike is ready to use! 
• Bar underneath ability icons: 
  • Previous: Amp Magazine 
  • Now: Operator Energy 
• Amp Magazine is now displayed numerically above the Tauron Strike gauge!  

Image Description: A closeup screenshot of the updated Operator HUD showing the new icon and gauge to indicate the Tauron Strike Charge. Numbered from the top in position one is the Amp Magazine, below to the left in position two is Operator Energy, and to the right in position three is the Tauron Strike Charge.

 

New Focus School Nodes 

Once you have acquired a Tektolyst Artifact, the associated Focus School tree will branch out with new Tauron Strike nodes. There are 5 new nodes per School. 

Image Description: The Zenurik Focus School with its expanded nodes. Branching off from the Lorak Tauron Strike node are Prismatic Beam and Boundless Energy with the latter also having two additional nodes of Spectral Pages and Brilliant Insight.

The Tauron Strike node is unlocked by default. Unlock and upgrade additional nodes at the cost of Focus Points and new resources (amounts and types vary per node and rank): Ren Hypercores, Ascaris Primes, and Lyroic Bridges.

These new nodes will not impact your Represent store access. The Represent store only requires the non-Tau nodes to be completed for the Focus School (i.e. its unlock criteria remains unchanged). 

Stats below are shown at max rank.

Tektolyst Artifact Upgrades 

Tektolyst Artifacts grant additional buildcrafting options that can bolster your Operator, Amp and Tauron Strike! Each Artifact has six Mod slots and one Arcane slot to further empower your Warframe and Operator.

Your active Focus School determines which Tektolyst Artifact is equipped. You can upgrade your Artifact by navigating to the Equipment tab in the Focus Menu and select “Upgrade”. 

Image Description: Screenshot of the Tektolyst Artifact Upgrades UI. In the center is the Arcane Zid-an Asheir and from left to right there are six mods equipped: Da-Ren, Esti Vel-Ikha, Hok-Kaal, Lorun-Tash, and Kaal-zidi.

Tektolyst Artifact Mods

There are four Mods per Focus School that can be used on any Tekolyst Artifacts, displayed with the maximum Mod Rank. Certain Mods feature unique interactions between other School’s, including bonuses for each Mod from a unique School.

OPERATOR & DRIFTER REMASTER

It’s December 03, 2015 in London, Ontario Canada. The DE team is up late glued to their screens watching players react to the reveal of… the Operator! A complete overflow of shock and delight with equal amounts of excited confusion are expressed upon meeting the Operator, a name that up to that point had been heard but not seen. A momentous moment in Warframe’s history that launched the many chapters that have followed since.

The best part? We’ve been able to relieve that moment over again throughout the years as new players join and share their reactions with us. The same can be said about Drifter’s arrival in The New War! Both keystones in the Warframe experience. 

Now, 10 years since that first major reveal, a new groundbreaking chapter is here with the Operator at the heart of it all once again. So let us reintroduce you to the Operator and Drifter! With a significant remaster that has gloriously upgraded every feature, we are thrilled for you to continue the journey on with this improved version that comes coupled with several new customizations, appearance options and overhauled UI that takes the character customizing experience to the next level. 

   

What to Expect on Login

Players that have unlocked their Operator or Drifter will receive a prompt on login explaining that we have released this rework! Fear not, your customizations have not been reset. Your existing looks for both Operator and Drifter have been ported over with our best approximation using the new setup. 

Image Description: Screenshot of the Operator and Drifter Remaster screen that will appear on login. Three Operators with varying makeup, hairstyles, and complexions are displayed in addition to the two choices of “Customize Now” or “Continue”.

We understand the connection to your character (especially after 10 years!) and our team crafted this adaptation to the best of our ability. That being said, this is not a one-to-one transition! While the remaster offers more naturalistic and lifelike customization, your Operator and Drifter may need some fine tuning. 

Players should expect some changes to hair and complexion, and we highly recommend selecting “Customize” to apply these adjustments straight away. If you’d rather go right into gameplay, hit “Continue” and you can return to your Operator and Drifter at a later time! 

Image Description: Screenshot of the updated Operator Features UI displays options for primary and secondary faces, complexion, and body type. An Operator with a gold headpiece, light green eyes, white makeup, and chestnut complexion stares off into the distance in red gilded armor.

New Appearance UI

We have updated the Appearance UI to make customizing your Operator and Drifter a breeze. 

• The Appearance Configs now incorporate your Hair, Somatics (Operator), Visage Inks (Drifter) and Makeup customizations in addition to Clothing.  
  • The config bar also now persists across all the clothing and feature options so that you have access to your outfits throughout your customization process! 
    • Previously, you could only swap between configs while in the Clothing tab. 
    • Now, you can seamlessly swap between configs regardless of where you are in the features options to better coordinate your Operator/Drifter's features with your OOTDs. 
• Both the clothing and features UI now have a sub-tab bar to easily switch between the many options available. 
• Added “Reset Defaults” and “Randomize All” buttons. When used, resetting to default or randomizing applies to whichever tab you are in (Clothing or Features). 

Improved Lighting for Operator/Drifter Customization

We have also relit the Orbiter Transference Room while you are in the Operator/Drifter customization UI! It now matches the experience in the Backrooms with more realistic lighting. 

Image Description: A side-by-side comparison of an Operator in the Transference Room during customization, before (left) and after (right) the new lighting update. The after shows more realistic lighting in comparison to before, with improved contrast and shadows. 

What you see in the Orbiter is now more accurate to what you see in missions that have GI lighting. Additionally, this real time lighting improves the realism of certain textures (metallics for example), meaning that you may have to tweak your current clothing and accessories to your liking. 

We essentially hooked you up with a sick ring light setup to better customize and screenshot the drip! 

Remastered Faces

From forehead to chin, ear to ear, brand new remastered faces are here! Your Operator and Drifter each have 10 faces to choose from offering a variety of facial features that can be blended together to create any number of desired variations.   

Primary & Secondary Faces Blending

You can now blend female and male presenting faces! 

Previously, primary faces determined which secondary faces you could blend it with. So if you selected a female-presenting primary face, only the female-presenting secondary faces would be available to choose from and blend with. 

Now, you can select any of the Primary and Secondary faces and blend them together.  

Complexion 

You can now select from 14 different complexions (including default) to change the base tone, texture and other skin features (freckles, pigmentation, etc.) 

Previously, complexion was solely determined by the Primary Face. Now, you have the ability to select those features separately and apply them to any of the faces. 

Once you have selected your complexion, you can select the Complexion Tint from the following palettes, which offer a far wider range of Tints than before: 

• Natural Tones: 108 natural complexion tones for every day looks! 
• Legacy Tones: Complexion tones used to match tints from the premaster palettes. 
  • Both the legacy natural and Refacia Kit* (if owned) tones are available in this palette. Keep in mind that the overall improvement and overhaul of skin won’t be an exact match to pre-remaster tones and will require some playing around with the new customization features to land on a look you like! 
  • Cool Tones: 108 cool artificial complexion tones, including imitation Orokin Blue. This palette appears if you own the Refacia Kit.  

*As a reminder, the Refacia Kit can be acquired from any Focus School’s Represent store for Focus Points! 

The blend between complexion and tint can be adjusted using the Tint Vibrancy slider. 

Body Type

We have completely decoupled faces from determining body type! 

Previously, Primary Face would determine your Operator and Drifter’s body type. An obviously limiting dependency that required you to find a balance between desired facial features and the associated body type. 

Now, you can select Body Type independently from Faces in the “Head” tab. Choose from Body Type 1 (male presenting) and Body Type 2 (female presenting). 

Remastered Eyes

Eyes have received entirely new textures for an improved and more realistic appearance. Eye Glow has also had a glow up (heh) with a new look that could light up a room. 

Additional customizations are also here to really make those windows to the soul pop! 

• The UI now shows both color tints side by side, instead of listed independently: 
  • The first tint determines the “outer” color, while the second determines the “inner”. 
• Eye Glow now has two emissives tints. 
  • The first applies to the iris and the center of the pupil and softly pulses.  
  • The second applies over the entirety of the eye (pupil, iris & scelera). 
    • Meaning the second emissive is layered over the first. So if you are looking to achieve a balance between the two, where the pulsing effect is most visible, use a lighter color in the first and a darker in the second. 
• Added “Glow Strength” slider to set the intensity of the Eye Glow effect. 

Remastered Hair 

Luxe lustrous locks are here! We have completely remastered every single hairstyle for Operators and Drifters with the help of the wonderful people at Sumo Digital.  

We’ve improved hair from top to bottom with completely new textures, shader improvements and a more complex cloth sim setup to give it a more realistic look and feel. 

Image Description: Seven Hairstyles shown on mannequin heads spread across two rows. The first row features the Braid Headpiece, Cropped Buzz, Bob Bluntcut, Short Close, while the second features Lyon’s Hairstyle, Roathe’s Hairstyle, and Marie’s Hairstyle.

New Hairstyles 

The following new hairstyles are available:

• Free – available on login! 
  • None: a proper bald option! Zero hair to be found, very bald.
    • We moved the previous “None” buzzcut style into its own Hairstyle called “Cropped Buzz”
  • Bob Bluntcut 
  • Braid Headpiece (featured in the TennoCon 2025 demo) 
  • Short Close 
  • Short Spiked 
• For purchase – for Platinum!
  • The Devil’s Triad Hairstyles
    • Marie’s Hairstyle
    • Lyon’s Hairstyle
    • Roathe’s Hairstyle 

All of the previous, now remastered, hairstyles are also bundled into the Definitive Salon Pack which be bought from the Market. 

 

Remastered Beards (Drifter)

All beard styles have received the remastered treatment for elevated and more realistic looking facial hair. 

We have also added a new beard style — achieve the ultimate lumberjack aura with Drifter Beard 003. 

Improved Hair Color Customization

We have expanded your color customizing potentials with 5 color tints to the previous 3 for hair and beard styles. Embark on your dye journey and bring your Operator and Drifter to the next level with these tints: 

• Primary
• Secondary
• Tertiary 
• Accents 
• Highlights 

NOTE: With the inclusion of two color tints, some additional tweaking may be needed to achieve your pre-remaster look the way you desire. 

Note on Color Customization for Beards: 

The longer the beard, the more hair color tints apply! Previously, all beards would only take on the Primary color. Now, you can customize the longer beard styles using all of the tints (Drifter Beard 002 - 005).  

The stubble beard style (Drifter Beard 001) remains Primary-only. 

Additional Notes on Hair: 

• We’ve updated all Hairstyle names and categorized them based on their features to be more descriptive at a glance:
  • Braid 
  • Bob 
  • Coiffed 
  • Crest
  • Cropped
  • Curls 
  • Midlength 
  • Short
  • Tied Back 
  • Undercut 
• Removed the “Hair Part” toggle.
  • The toggle only functioned with the original batch of hairs that were released with Operators in 2015. We haven’t supported function for hair parts with the later released hairstyles since and for that reason have decided to retire the toggle. 
• Made overall improvements to the appearance of the Protoframe and other 1999 character’s Hairstyles on Operators.

New Feature: Eyebrows

There are 18 eyebrow styles to choose from (including default)! Frame your Operator and Drifter’s face with styles that range from 90s pencil brows to bushy beauty and everything in between. Tapered, arched, groomed or grown out, there are so many ways to completely change your Operator and Drifters aura. 

You can further customize each style with the Brow Thickness slider and Eyebrow Color selector. 

New Feature: Makeup 

Origin System saving hero by day and MUA by night! Give your Operator and Drifter the gift of glam with looks that range from a subtle touch to full blown war paint that feature a mix of stunning matte, glossy, glittery and metallic* elements. 

*Metallic makeup will appear more “matte” and dispersed if you have Anti-Aliasing disabled. 

The following makeup looks are available for free:  

• Balika Look 
• Banva Look 
• Kathaya Look 
• Pithata Look 
• Rocana Look 
• Roshaka Look
• Sahoda Look
• Tarunya Look
• Virama Look
• Yotaka Look 

Each Makeup Look is fully color customizable with the ability to adjust the transparency of each color tint. 

Makeup can be combined with Visage Inks (Drifter) and Somatic Markings (Operator) to create even more unique looks! 

Focus School Makeup Looks 

Paint the Tenno Ways with brand new Focus School-themed makeup looks for your Operator and Drifter! 

For those new to the Focus system, the Represent store is unlocked once you have unlocked and fully ranked each node in a Focus School*.

Remastered Markings (Operator) 

Each Operator Somatic Marking has also received the remaster treatment! We’ve also added a new style called Somatics Zz-70 as well as a default option. 

Additional Operator/Drifter Changes 

• Signas can now be equipped on Operators!
  • Go to Operator Appearance settings > Clothing > Attachments > Signa > Select the Signa to equip and adjust the Y Offset and colors to your liking. 
  • We added the ability to equip them on Drifter in The Vallis Undermind, but due to issues with setup on Operators, this feature didn’t make it into that update. Now, both Operators and Drifters can wear Signas with style!! 
• The following Operator Suits, Masks, Pauldrons, Graves and Apparel have all been converted to be able to be equipped on Drifter. 
  • Purchasing or crafting any of these customizations will now include both the Operator and Drifter variants! For those of you that already own these items, the Drifter versions will be added to your inventory upon login:
    • Emissary Collection
    • Koppra Collection
    • Maduka Collection
    • Outrider Collection
    • Kubrodon Ventkid Collection
    • Varida Collection 
    • Vent Pobber Ventkid Collection
    • Vent Rat Collection
• Every single outfit and accessory has been adjusted to better fit the new models, with some minor revisions to improve certain pieces. 
• Made the following changes to Sigil customizations:
  • Added a secondary color channel to further customize Sigils with VFX. The primary color is dedicated to the static channel, while the secondary changes the VFX. 
  • The “Alpha” slider has been changed to “Transparency”. 
• The remaster also applies to Operator NPCs (including Tenno in cutscenes and our “Hey Kiddo” doppelganger). 
• Hovering over Suit color tints will now highlight them on your Operator/Drifter, so you know exactly where that color will apply.

KINEMANTIK MESSAGING SYSTEM EXPANSION: THE DEVIL’S TRIAD

A new tab has appeared in the Kinemantic Messaging System on your POM-2!

In this appropriately-stylized interface you can unearth the secrets of the Devil’s Triad: Roathe, Lyon, and Marie! Loid has given them access to the terminal in the Sanctum Anatomica, for you to converse with (or court) them to your heart’s content. 

Requirements

Players must complete The Old Peace quest to talk to The Devil’s Triad via the POM-2.

There are no other requirements, but we recommend getting to know the Entrati of Deimos if you haven’t already. You may see your efforts pay off as you further engage with this system.

Chemistry and Ranks

Similar to the Hex, you earn favour with The Devil’s Triad through Chemistry. With this batch, Chemistry can only be earned through KIM conversations. Forget gifting — Roathe, Marie, and Lyon shan’t be swayed by whatever trifles you can offer them. 

While we have carefully balanced the Chemistry output to ensure players can rank up with the conversations available to them, our recommendation is to engage with this new KIM expansion with the “Play All Kim Conversations” setting toggled on.

As a refresher, earning Chemistry will progress your standing with each Protoframe through the following Ranks:

• Neutral
• Friendly
• Liked
• Trusted
• Close
• Best Friend (platonic) / Loved (dating)

Like with The Hex, if you want to date a Protoframe, you can confess your feelings to them either in a KIM conversation or by visiting them in La Cathédrale. The requirements to unlock this option (and have them reciprocate) vary per character.

If you’ve decided to try a new paramour, you can end your relationship with your soon-to-be Ex in La Cathédrale as well. 

Lyon’s Chemistry Rank

If you approach Lyon Allard in La Cathédrale, you may have difficulty in getting him to speak with you. This reticence also applies to the KIM system — until you’ve proven yourself a worthy ally, you will be duly ignored.

Once you’ve reached Liked rank with Marie Leroux, he will deem you an acceptable conversation partner (and also allow you to buy his wares). Unlocking Lyon in the KIM will immediately increase his rank to Liked as well. 

Resetting via the Digital Grimoire:

Another new icon has appeared in the POM-2, next to the Settings: the Digital Grimoire! 

Image Description: Screenshot of a darkened POM-2 UI highlighting a new icon next to the Settings. This new icon is the Digital Grimoire and appears as an open book.
 

This new window serves as the home for Conversation Resetting —  not only for The Devil’s Triad, but other Protoframe Batches as well! Gone are the pop-ups once the 1999 Calendar rotates. Instead, players can now venture to the Digital Grimoire and initiate a memory reset whenever they please.

Resetting Memories comes with a 28 Day cooldown that applies per Protoframe batch. (ex: if you reset The Roundtable, you will have to wait 28 days before wiping their memories again, but The Hex and The Devil’s Triad are unaffected.)

Image Description: Screenshot of the Reset Your Memories option in the KIM Digital Grimoire window. On the left side are the options to select The Hex, The Roundtable, and The Devil’s Triad. On the right, with the Devil’s Triad is selected with the “Commit” button to reset your memories. 

Romantic Dalliances:

If you have expressed romantic interest in a Protoframe and have had it reciprocated, you can date them! Unlike The Hex, The Devil’s Triad will not move out of La Cathédrale upon dating, but you can still engage in some devilry with your beloved in a variety of ways:

Kissing Cinematic:

Your paramour will have a new prompt when you visit them in XX99: “Share some time alone…”.

Selecting this will trigger a kissing cinematic, with a 7 day cooldown.

Captura Scene Dates:

Sometimes, for romance to bloom, you need to get away from the world.

Once you have reached Loved with your Protoframe, they will send you a Captura Date Scene to your inbox every week. Each Protoframe has five Dates that you can earn in this way.

These Date Scenes allow you to spend some one-on-one time with your beau, and learn more about them through their Scene-exclusive voice lines. You can make use of the Captura tools to take photos with your beloved, or simply enjoy the pleasure of their company.

If you choose to break up with your Protoframe, you will retain any Captura Date Scenes you have earned — and you can continue to use them to revisit your old flames, as you desire. We won’t tell! Additionally, you will keep any Scenes you own upon resetting The Devil’s Triad’s memories*. 

* Certain voice lines in these Date Scenes are tied to your conversation choices with the Protoframe, so you may see a change in dialogue after resetting. 

Consent Across Spacetime:

The Hex were the first dateable characters added to the game, so introducing a new group of romanceable characters may give devoted Drifters some pause. We could get into the weeds with technicalities here — eternalism, etc. — but at the end of the day you can now successfully woo and smooch two individuals at the same time. 

For those interested in taking this path, dating both a Hex and Devil’s Triad Protoframe will trigger a KIM conversation with each individual where they give consent for the Drifter to have multiple relationships. 

General KIM Changes & Fixes 

• Profile Notes will now update dynamically to reflect key states in your relationship with the Protoframe. This will allow players to more easily identify if they’ve hit fail states for certain goals, so they know a reset may be needed.
  • This was introduced with The Devil’s Triad, and has been extended to the other Protoframe batches as well. 
• Fixed the KIM forcibly scrolling down while players are attempting to read earlier messages while new messages are being sent. 

HONORIA

No Tenno is complete without an Honoria to show off their prowess. Honoria are titles that are displayed under player aliases in the pause menu, friends and clan member lists, on loading screens, and in your profile. A way for everyone to display their formidability! 

How To Equip/Change Honoria 

You can change your Honoria by opening the Pause menu > Profile > Honoria. From there you can select which Honoria you’d like to sport, with a preview of how it’ll appear in the UI at the top. If you’re not feeling particularly Honoria-ific, you can always select the “None” option to remove it. 

Image Description: Screenshot of the menu UI displaying the option to select Honoria. Found in between the Glyph and Logout options.
 

Image Description: Screenshot of the Honoria selection window showcasing some options for ClemPrime. ClemPrime can choose to have no Honoria, or they can select one that becomes either a prefix or suffix to their name such as The Lover ClemPrime or ClemPrime of the Old Blood.

How To Acquire Honoria 

Honoria can be acquired in two ways:

1.  Purchased from specific vendors and stores 
   • For The Old Peace, this includes from Roathe and the Focus School Represent Stores (specifics listed below).
2. Awarded from notable accomplishments, such as completing Quests, defeating certain enemies, conquering challenges, and more.  
   • On login, if eligible, you will retroactively receive certain Honoria! These will popup on screen to inform you of the Honoria earned. 

We’re excited for you to discover all the various Honoria to be awarded and witness you sporting them proudly! While we want to keep the majority unlisted from the patch notes so that you can uncover them yourself, we’re happy to share the following which can be acquired from vendors:     

You can purchase the following Honoria from Roathe in La Cathédrale (in the Sanctum Anatomica) for various resources associated with the theme of the title.

Image Description: Uriel, the devil-themed Warframe, stands at the ready with his trusted bayonet - the Vinquibus. The twin curved horns of his alternate helmet are accentuated by an open maw that evokes the feeling of a high shriek. Glowing binding chains can be seen in the background. 

NEW WARFRAME: URIEL

To fight as the Heretic of Xata is to have demons at your back. Uriel incinerates foes with searing brimstone, and commands three fiendish summons to do his devil’s work.

Uriel’s Abilities 

Passive: Legion

Uriel commands, empowers, and protects three unique demons.

CATENACH: Snares and slows enemies chaining them together. Damage dealt to any target in the chain is inflicted on all snared enemies. (Unlocks with Infernalis)

GULPHAGOR: Latches onto foes dealing damage over time. If killed, a circle of pain is spawned. (Unlocks with Remedium)

VYTHELAS: Inscribes demonic runes upon fallen foes that add stacks of Fire Rate and Heat Damage when collected.  (Unlocks with Demonium)

 

Ability 1: Infernalis

Manifest an aura of flames inflicting Heat Damage and Status Effect on nearby enemies.

Tap Dodge while airborne* to take flight as a flaming meteor of destruction.

Infernalis is Uriel’s Railjack ability. 

*On Devstream 191 we demonstrated that this can be done by tapping dodge from anywhere, but we changed it before release since dodging often is a common movement pattern for players. So to avoid accidentally triggering his meteor spin at times where you might not want to, it is now activated while airborne.

 

Ability 2: Remedium

Uriel heals himself and his demons. If his demons are dead, they are resurrected instead. 

Remedium is Uriel’s Helminth ability — altered with reduced healing and Gulphagor is removed.

 

Ability 3: Demonium

Uriel rips out the souls of his demons, draining some of their health, and sends them in search of new victims. Souls explode on contact with an enemy, inflicting Damage Vulnerability. 

 

Ability 4: Brimstone

Uriel and his demons create a growing ring of flaming brimstone. Charge the ability by utilizing demon abilities. Damage inflicted increases with each consecutive hit.

Note on replacing Uriel’s abilities at Helminth: Similar to Cyte-09 and other Warframes with damage buffs abilities, you can only have a single damage buffing ability on Uriel. Damage buffing abilities applied through the Helminth must override Demonium. 

How to Acquire Uriel

• Uriel’s Main Blueprint is rewarded via inbox after completing The Old Peace Quest. 
• Uriel’s component Blueprints can be earned from the Descendia reward drop tables. 
• Uriel’s main and component Blueprints can be acquired from Roathe’s Surplus in La Cathédrale (Sanctum Anatomica) for Maphica. 
• Purchase Uriel from Market individually or as part of The Old Peace Uriel Bundle and The Old Peace Complete Collection. Learn more in the “Market Additions” section. 

 

Uriel’s Prex Card

Image Description: Uriel’s Prex Card displays the devil-themed Warframe standing with a sinister grimace as his armor pulses with infernal flame. Behind him are the shadowy figures of his three devil servants.

Only those who survive penance can explore the area in which Uriel’s Prex Card resides…

Maximum Loadout Slot Increase

With the release of Uriel, the maximum number of purchasable Loadout Slots has been increased from 31 to 32.

Uriel’s Glyphs can also be purchased from the Glyph selection menu accessible from the Pause Menu > Profile > Glyph. 

 

NEW WEAPONS 

New Weapon Type: Bayonet (Vinquibus) 

The Vinquibus introduces a brand new weapon class - the Bayonet! 

Bring hell to the battlefield with Uriel's signature rifle and bayonet combination. Occupying both primary and melee slots, this unique weapon blends precision marksmanship with unrelenting melee combat.

Unique Traits: 

• Vinquibus Precision (Primary Trait): Headshots grant +250% Melee Damage for next 2 Melee Attacks, stacking up to 16x.
• Vinquibus Ferocity (Melee Trait): Melee kills give 100% Rifle Ammo Efficiency for your next 4 shots, stacking up to 16x. 

Vinquibus/Bayonet Specifics: 

• Affinity between the Primary and Melee are shared, so if you only get kills with the Melee in a mission, the Primary will receive the same amount so that they have the same rank. 
  • That said, the Vinquibus counts as one weapon for Mastery Rank purposes. 
• Upgrades are shared between both the Primary and Melee, meaning if you upgrade one, it’ll be mirrored on the other. This applies to the following: 
  • Orokin Catalyst
  • Focus Lens 
  • Exilus Adapter
  • Forma (base, Omni and Umbra) 
    • Applying any type of Forma will reset rank to 0 for both the Primary and Melee. 
    • The Polarized slot is shared between both. For example, if you add Madurai Polarity to the first slot of your Primary, it will also apply to the Melee in that same slot. 
      • NOTE: Umbra Forma equipped on the Melee will also apply the Umbra polarity to the Primary, something to keep in mind prior to upgrading as it’ll impact capacity room on the Primary. 
• Arcane Adapters are not shared and require their respective Adapter type to unlock for the Primary and Melee.  
• Due to its unique two slot nature, the Vinquibus will not appear as an option in Deep/Temporal Archimedea or Teshin’s Cave in Duviri. 
• Vinquibus’s Melee Stance slot has the Omni polarity. 
• Equipping it in either Primary or Melee will equip it for both. 
• The Vinquibus is able to generate separate Rifle and Melee Rivens. You can have both a Rifle and Melee Riven equipped in their respective slots. 
• Color customizations are shared between Primary and Melee. 

How to Acquire Vinquibus 

• Vinquibus’ main and component Blueprints can be acquired from Roathe’s Surplus in La Cathédrale. 

New Bayonet Stance Mod: Harrowing Spire 

Relentless jabs and powerful sweeping lunge. 

How to Acquire Harrowing Spire: 

• Drops from containers in Descendia. Visit the official Drop Tables for drop rates. 

 

New Orokin-Era Grineer Weapons  

Weapons once wielded by Orokin-era Grineer are yours to obtain! 

Note: These are not your typical Prime weapons due to their Grineer nature. They share the same categorization as the existing Gotva Prime, which means that like the Gotva Prime, these can be traded but not sold for Ducats at Baro.

 

Galariak Prime 

Orokin-era Grineer plated their scythes with gold as a symbol of dedication to their Golden Lords. Gains a percentage of Critical Chance with each Status Type affecting the target. 

 

Sagek Prime

The sidearm of choice for Prime Grineer warriors, Sagek Prime blends Grineer brutality with Orokin aesthetics. When Sagek Prime inflicts a critical hit, its next shot has a chance to gain significant Status Chance. 

How to acquire Sagek Prime and Galariak Prime: 

• Earn Sagek and Galariak Prime’s main and component blueprints by completing The Perita Rebellion missions.
• Sagek and Galariak Prime’s main and component blueprints can be exchanged for Maphica at Roathe’s Surplus Wares in La Cathédrale.

 

NEW ARCANES

After completing The Old Peace, delve into Descendia for a chance to get your hands on new Arcanes! 

These nine new Arcanes are used to bolster your Warframes and Weapons! Earn these new enhancements from Descendia, or in exchange for Maphica or Ignia at Roathe’s Surplus Wares in La Cathédrale.

Stats below shown at max rank.

War Stories Bundle

Recall buried battlefield memories with this collection of ancient mementos. Some things ought never be forgotten. 

Note: Since the bundle includes Amp components, it is visible in the Market only to players who have completed The War Within Quest and spoken to Quills Onkko in Cetus. 

This bundle contains the following items - the cosmetic items can be purchased individually:  

Amp Components

This bundle includes the following Amp components! Bring them to Quill Onkko in Cetus or Little Duck in Fortuna and select the “Amp Assemble" option to build your Operator/Drifter a new Amp.

Upgrading your Amp is an important step in growing your power in Warframe. These have traditionally been available through Syndicates only, but we're experimenting with adding an option to skip the grind, for those who are interested.

We have implemented experimental prorating for the Amp components. If you have any amount of Affinity on the Granmu Prism (as Prisms are the only component from Gilded Amps that counts towards Mastery), the bundle will count all the Amp components as “owned”, apply the prorated price and exclude them from purchase. This is for players who are in the market for the other items but don’t have a need for the Amp.  

Granmu Prism

A roughly-tumbled prism held before a heavy-duty triple shutter-gate. Multi-shot grenade burst. 

Klebrik Scaffold

PRIME VANGUARD VARZIA OFFERINGS (BEGINS DECEMBER 18) 

As part of the upcoming Prime Resurgence End of Year Event, the Prime Vanguard Warframes will be part of Varzia’s Wares for the first rotation from December 18, 2025 - January 15, 2026. 

This is a special time-limited event through Varzia to celebrate the release of The Old Peace and give players an opportunity to own the Warframes that make up the Prime Vanguard: 

• Mesa Prime 
• Ash Prime 
• Volt Prime 
• Ember Prime 
• Caliban Prime
• Protea Prime 

Vanguard Relics will be available for Aya containing the Blueprints for the Warframes listed. These new Relics were created specifically for this event to offer players a chance to earn all six Prime Warframes. Given the unique nature of these Relics with their premium vaulted offerings, there will be a purchase limit of 100 per Vanguard Relic (400 total for all Relics) per player in order to maintain Prime economy balance. 

Each Warframe’s Pack (with the exception of Caliban and Protea Prime*) will be available to purchase for Regal Aya that also includes their weapons and accessories. Pack contents will also be available for individual purchase. 

*Caliban Prime and Protea Prime were both recently available via Prime Access and have not yet been vaulted. To maintain the order of operations with Prime Resurgence and respect those who had purchased these packs through Prime Access, they are excluded from the Regal Aya packs. 

More details will be shared closer to launch on December 18th! 

ADDITIONS

• We have added the option to select Mandarin as an Audio Language from the launcher! This will change character voice lines (specifics below) upon launching the game.
  • How to change: Click on the gear wheel in the launcher, navigate to the “Audio Language” drop down menu and select “Simplified Chinese”* from the list. 
    • *We will be updating this to correctly state “Mandarin” in a future cert update.
      
  • What to expect:
    • We have ported over the existing Mandarin VO (voice overs in missions, Quests, etc.) from our WeGame build into the Global build. Providing voice lines for a game as big as ours is no easy task! So there may be areas where no Mandarin VO lines are available and in those cases, it will default to the English version with Simplified Chinese subtitles.
    • Subtitles have been updated to more closely follow the new Mandarin VO, while intentionally keeping the existing global terminology instead of the China-build terms. In a few cases we add the English name in brackets (for example, 莲 (Lotus))
  • We look forward to receiving your feedback on the addition of Mandarin VO to the game. Thank you to our friends at WeGame for their tremendous work in providing Warframe with the Mandarin Voice Overs! 
• The Legendary 6 Mastery Rank Test is now available to those eligible!
  • Succeeding will reward you with the Aurichalc Legendary Mastery Slate. 
• Added 54 new Höllvania-themed Dojo Decorations! Ranging from stairs, tarp tunnels, chimneys, railings, scaffolding and so much more. You’ll be ready to start your own construction company!
  • The remaining Hollandia -themed Dojo Decorations we showed earlier this year will be released in the future. 
• Added “The Teacher” Somachord Tone to Teshin’s Steel Path Honor Store for Steel Essence. 

CHANGES

Entrati Syndicate Changes

With the introduction of The Devil’s Triad to the KIM system, your rank with the Entrati Syndicate influences one of the story paths available to you. With this in mind, we revisited the Entrati Syndicate to make it easier for folks to reach the rank of Family.  

Rank-Up Sacrifice Changes:

The Rank-Up sacrifices for the Entrati Syndicate are tied to the family’s story, but we have replaced various items where we could to reduce rarity and difficulty of acquisition.

• Rank 1: 6 Benign Infested Tumor and 6 Ferment Bladder
  • Was: 3 Spinal Core Section (available from fish found exclusively via Cave Fishing)
• Rank 2: Keratinos Blueprint, 1 Daughter Token, and 1 Father Token
  • Was: 1 Keratinos Blades Blueprint, 1 Keratinos Gauntlet Blueprint, 1 Daughter Token, and 1 Father Token
  • The Standing Cost to acquire the Blueprint has remained the same, but it’s one less item to purchase.
• Rank 3: 3 Sly Vulpaphyla Tag, 3 Vizier Predasite Tag, 1 Son Token, and 1 Mother Token
  • Was: 5 Common Avichaea Tag, 1 Medjay Predasite Tag, 1 Son Token, and 1 Mother Token
  • The Tags required are now from common subspecies and feature easier species to find on the Cambion Drift. 
• Rank 4: Zarim Mutagen Blueprint, Arioli Mutagen Blueprint, 1 Son Token, and 1 Father Token
  • Was: Zarim Mutagen, Arioli Mutagen, 1 Son Token, and 1 Father Token
  • Players no longer need to build the Mutagens.
• Rank 5: Seriglass Shard, 1 Mother Token, and 1 Father Token (Unchanged)
  • While the rewards are unchanged, we have made changes to Tokens and to the Seriglass Shard’s price which will make it easier to acquire.

Token Standing Changes:

• Daughter Token: increased from 100 to 500 Standing
• Father Token: increased from 100 to 500 Standing
• Otak Token: increased from 100 to 500 Standing
• Son Token: increased from 500 to 1,000 Standing
• Grandmother Token: increased from 1,500 to 3,000 Standing

Other Changes:

• Reduced Seriglass Shard price from 20 to 10 Grandmother Tokens
• Adjusted Exchange Family Token conversion ratios to maintain Standing Ratio as follows:
  • Reduced required Father, Daughter, and Otak Tokens from 10 to 4
  • Increased required Mother Tokens from 10 to 20
  • Note: Exchanging Tokens gives players 1.5x extra Standing in Grandmother Tokens. With the changes to Token Standing Values, the number of Tokens required to exchange for a Grandmother Token have been adjusted to maintain that ratio. 

General Changes

 

• We’ve improved damage number visuals so that you see damage numbers from NPCs you are authoritative over when they deal damage, instead of just your own. Basically, if the player caused the damage (whether they are controlling the avatar or not), the player can see the damage number! 
  • This was something we added to Nokko so that you could see the damage numbers of his Sporepring even when he was in Sprodling mode. Now, we’ve made this game-wide so that you can see any latent damage dealt by Warframe abilities. This is especially useful with the new Tauron Strikes to see the damage dealt after you have used Transference to switch to Operator. 
• Changed Elemental Ammo (e.g. Cyte-09’s Resupply) to apply its elemental damage instance twice On Headshot/Weakpoint hit upgrades/buffs.
  • Previously, it was applying this additional instance to the target’s “torso” on headshot. This could result in some issues where hitting a boss’s weak point would prevent elemental ammo from doing any damage because it would be trying to hit their “torso” and not the weak point. This has the added benefit of triggering benefits from weak point hits multiple times (eg. Incarnon charging)!
• Added tips while Modding to better assist players in matching polarity and reaching capacity.
• Added Archwing (i.e., Archgun, Archmelee) indicators in tooltips and the in-game Market.
• Changed Valkyr’s Passive SFX.
  • Reduced the SFX indicator volume after fully charging her Passive.
  • Removed the “sword-sheathing” SFX when the Passive is charged.
• Improved the Gore System to be more, well, gory! 
  • Should you not wish to see the bloodier splatters from your attacks, you can toggle off Gore in your settings.
• Added a “Sort By:” header when expanding a drop-down to better explain what the drop-down does. 
• Improved the UI VFX radial rays for slide out popups (notably when scraping wreckage). 
• Updated the Detron’s texture and material. 
• Improved tileset logic in the “Protect the Moon” stage of The Second Dream Quest. 

PERFORMANCE & OPTIMIZATIONS

• Optimized memory usage in all levels.
• Improved system resource usage when optimizing your cache.
• Improved cache optimization speed on higher-end PCs.

• Fixed explosive projectiles being blocked by bullet passable surfaces (eg: Ogris). 
• Fixed an issue where the Phahd Scaffold (Operator amp component) triggered the effects of other weapon upgrades.
  • Since the Phahd secondary fire is derived from a "glaive" type weapon, the weapon was uniquely treated as a projectile, and lingered long enough to erroneously count as whatever weapon you had equipped on your Warframe.

• Fixed Nokko’s Brightbonnet replenishing Operator Energy. 

UI Fixes

• Fixed Undermind Bounties appearing as Saturn, Phoebe when viewing friends' activity.

• Fixed Gauss Prime’s thigh pads clipping through his legs with his Default, Agito, Graxx and Nitrolyst skins.

• More fixes towards Kullervo Apostate’s tint channels.
