This episode showcased what’s planned for Revenant (next week on PC!), shared more of what the team has been working on for Melee 3.0, and more. Watch the full episode below or keep reading to learn all the juicy details!

Nezha Deluxe

In Devstream 115, we showed you TennoGen creator & all around awesome artist Liger Inuzuka’s Nezha Deluxe design. The team has been hard at work preparing Nezha Deluxe post-TennoCon.

Here is a clip of Nezha Deluxe in-game. He’ll be ready to go ship after some effects polish!

Garuda

At TennoCon 2018, we shared concept art for an upcoming Warframe, Garuda. Work on this gore-based Warframe is ongoing. We plan to release her with the Fortuna update!

K-Drive

We’ve been working on adding style to K-Drive with some tricks and leaps of faith. Here’s a preview of what’s to come with many more animations on the way!

K-Drive customization will be connected to a Fortuna K-Drive gang. You’ll have to earn standing with the gang by performing tricks to purchase K-Drive customizations and Mods. K-Drive appearance will be Modular, but not functionality. Speed, jump-height, and handling characteristics will all be customizable!

The team also has plans for K-Drive Achievements and a Racetrack on Venus!

Login Rewards Update

Along with a UI update, the way we handle the Daily Tribute is being revamped. On Milestone days, you will be able to pick what item you’d like as a Reward. We’re also discussing the possibility of being able to select the same item more than once to exchange in a trading market. Mods and weapons will be included!

Mask of the Revenant

We hope to release the Revenant next week! With him will come a mysterious mask. You will have to visit Nakak in Cetus to uncover it!

Steve offered a bit more info about what to expect with the update while the team visited Nakak:

The Revenant Warframe will only be shipping with his shotgun. His melee weapon will follow soon after - it's caught up with the Melee 3.0!

Watch the Revenant in action with his fast-paced play style and strong defensive abilities:

The Elite Alert System and Melee 3.0

We will be introducing a new hourly Alert System soon! The codename:Elite Alert System offers no Revives. Squad Revivals will work, but if you choose to go in solo, being downed by an enemy will mean mission failure! The system will offer high credit rewards, but there’s also a cosmetic angle. The Emblem rewarded from the Elite Alert System will glow brighter for every Alert you play! A Dev Workshop with more info is coming soon.

Melee 3.0 has also seen a lot of progress. The channeling button will be used for heavy attacks, and channeling mods are being repurposed. Our Effects Team is working on different looks for these attacks!

Here’s a preview of how sparring-style melee will look with Melee 3.0:

Warframe Usage Statistics

Rebecca shared in-game statistics with the community during this episode! The team uses statistics like these to get a sense of what Warframes might need to be revisited.

Click here to see Warframe use by player Mastery Rank for the week of August 8 - 15! Note that each column represents a Mastery Rank. This is a public Google Doc - hi!

Other Tidbits:

• We’re having internal discussions about adding slots for Operator customization
• We are looking into how to change Nyx's Abilities.
• We are looking into adding more FOV changes to Warframe
• A Relay rebuilding event is in the works. The event will include more information about Steel Meridian and old event weapons will return!
• We have added colour customization to Railjack and are in the process of improving effects!

The Sacrifice: Hotfix 23.4.2

Capture Mission Changes:
Capture Targets now have a 1 minute Bleedout timer after being downed for 30 seconds, upon which Lotus will now alert you that you’re running out of time to capture the Target. Capture missions had become an unofficial Endless mission with the tactic of leaving the Target squirming on the ground for hours while players dealt with the never-ending horde of enemies. The Bleedout timer has been added as a countermeasure to fix the unintended Endless Capture missions. 

Phahd Scaffold Changes & Fixes:

• Fixed the Phahd Scaffold projectiles not passing through Volt’s Electric Shield.
• Fixed the projectile only bouncing 3 times for the Host and 20 for Clients by adjusting to 10 max bounces for both Hosts and Clients.
• Fixed receiving an unintended boost to Damage, Crit Chance, Crit Damage and Status Chance. Adjusted to its intended (Gilded) stats of:
  • 3000 Damage on Impact
  • 5 meter 3100 radial Damage with no fall off on detonation/last bounce
  • Knock Down added to radial Damage
  • 12% Status Chance
  • 34% Critical Chance
  • 2.6x Critical Damage

Changes:

• As previously stated in 23.4.1, we have changed the Spawn chances of Cephalon Fragments if you don't have your Personal Quarters unlocked, to a 100% chance of a Cephalon Fragment spawning, instead of 50/50.
• The Frame Fighter Warframe select screen now displays all Warframes, with the unscanned ones locked and with the addition of hints on which planet you can find the Fragments on. 
• Excalibur Umbra no longer requires a Fragment Scan to unlock for Frame Fighter. He will be available upon completing The Sacrifice quest.
• Improvements towards the Ki’Teer Sekhara being placed at your feet when equipping it.
  • Still working on other wonky issues with placement.

Fixes:

• More fixes towards numerous issues (crashes, game didn’t start, etc) when attempting to play Frame Fighter due to the 2-player restriction being surpassed. 
• Fixed sometimes not being able to Gild your Mote Amp.
• Fixed Inner Gaze (Madurai) appling an added bonus and not a percentage bonus like it details in the description.
• Fixed the Dax Nikana Skin not properly applying the chosen Energy color.
• Fixed inability to select Maple Trees to contribute/delete/move once placed in the Dojo.
• Fixed wrong icon being used on the Frame Fighter Poster.
• Fixed volume being too low on Shield and Health bullet impacts.

See you tomorrow for Devstream #117!

The Sacrifice: Hotfix 23.4.1

Clarity regarding Frame Fighter Fragment spawns:
Before Update 23.4.0, there was a 50/50 chance of either a Somachord Fragment OR a Cephalon Fragment spawning if you already had your Personal Quarters unlocked, if not a Cephalon Fragment was guaranteed. With Update 23.4.0 and the addition of Frame Fighter Fragments, there is now a chance that all 3 Fragments can spawn, but the initial chance was lowered. With that said, we will be fixing this so that if you don't have your Personal Quarters unlocked, there is a 100% chance of a Cephalon Fragment spawning as before.

Fixes:

• Fixed numerous issues (crashes, game didn’t start, etc) when attempting to play Frame Fighter due to the 2-player restriction being surpassed. 
• Fixed crashes in various Mastery Rank tests.
