Hi Tenno!

It’s been just over 24 hours since Iceblade of Narin launched, and we firstly want to thank you all for jumping into the update, and sharing your thoughts and fast bug reports with us!

Seeing you come together as a community and piece together the clues to fulfill the prophecy was really special, and we recognize that we have many learnings from it.

The Iceblade of Narin update is a continuation of our attempts to try new things with Warframe. Not every Warframe will come with a Quest, therefore we must adapt. It’s imperative that we experiment and get your feedback to educate us as we move forward to Tau and beyond. Warframe is a game built with our Community, and that Community ebbs and flows with differing desires and playstyles. We will continue to try new things in our updates, and we thank you again for helping us to shape this world together.

You will see in this Hotfix that we are bringing deeper clarification to some of the hot topic changes, alongside changes/fixes to address critical feedback <3

Some Clarifications from Iceblade of Narin Patch Notes:

Archimedea Personal Modifier Groups
This is a new system in Personal Modifier generation for Temporal and Deep Archimedea that was missed in our original patch notes. There are some weeks that can almost feel excessively punishing depending on which Personal Modifiers you receive — to avoid cases of this happening in the future, Personal Modifiers have been separated into four different Groups.

Each week on reset, one Modifier from each Group will be randomly selected to help avoid overly difficult combinations. Due to Archimedea Modifiers being selected at the beginning of the week and Iceblade of Narin launching on a Wednesday, this is not currently live. That said, you will see the first installment of this updated system apply to Personal Modifiers after this upcoming weekly reset: September 28, 2026 at Midnight UTC.

Group One:

• Ability Overload
• Dropped Guard
• Dull Blades
• Framecurse Syndrome
• Hypersensitive
• Knifestep Syndrome
• Low Yield
• Secondary Wounds
• Undersupplied

Group Two:

• Abbreviated Abilities
• Channeled Greed
• Constricted
• Energy Exhaustion
• Powerless
• Shortened Reach

Group Three:

• Ammo Deficit
• Gear Embargo
• No Pets Allowed
• Transference Distortion

Group Four:

• Anemic Shields
• Fractured Armor
• Infected Wounds
• Lethargic Shields
• Permanent Injury
• Untreatable

If you have additional feedback about our Archimedea changes, please use the dedicated QOL Additions Feedback subforum.

Entropic Eximus Clarifications
With the introduction of our new Entropic Eximus units, we kept our initial patch note description intentionally vague to encourage players to discover the best ways to take them down. An unintended result was player confusion about some of the mechanics and we apologize for any frustration this decision caused.

To help you in your hunt for Entropic Eximus (and their Entropic Kuva), we’re offering more information on how these enemies work so you can understand a) how to kill them and b) what behaviours are intended. We are also adding this information to the original Update Notes.

Entropic Eximus have a resistance to non-melee attacks, forcing you to get in close and use your melee weapon. Breaking the bubble will enable abilities to target the Eximus, but will not change the Eximus’s damage resistance.

• Damage from non-melee sources is reduced by 90%.
  • For Operators, damage is instead reduced by 75%.
• Companions do not target Entropic Eximus

Entropic Eximus bubbles prevent projectiles from entering, and prevent Warframe abilities from dealing damage to the Entropic Eximus, from both inside and outside the bubble! The bubble can be broken two ways:

• Dealing melee damage with the Iceblade of Narin buff from Neote on Yuvan Peak will break the bubble if either the bubble or the Entropic Eximus is struck.
• Tauron strikes will break the bubble upon contact.

We hope this clears up confusion around how to best approach taking on Entropic Eximus. If you’re hunting them down, don’t forget to check Void Angels for a few guaranteed spawns! To provide us feedback on Entropic Eximus, please head over to our Update 44 Zariman Updates Feedback Forum.

Necramech Slot Refund Script:
As mentioned in the Iceblade of Narin update notes, we have removed the need for Necramech Slots. The script refunding purchases Necramech Slots has completed, and players should see any Platinum spent on these slots returned to them via inbox message!

Changes:

• Doubled the weighting of Narin's Blueprint in Zariman Exterminate and Mobile Defense missions following community feedback.
  • Exterminate and Mobile Defense missions are usually not the source of Warframe Blueprints, so we have increased the drop rate to be more forgiving.
• Narin can now walk on water during Nurinarim!
• Updated Hydroid and Hydroid Prime’s stats to properly swap Health and Shield values in order to help him make the most out of the armor gained from Plunder.
  • Iceblade of Narin accidentally swapped his Armor and Shield values, instead of the Health and Shield values as suggested by the community.
  • Hydroid Prime:
    • Health: 650
    • Shields: 370
    • Armor: 290
  • Hydroid:
    • Health: 365
    • Shields: 270
    • Armor: 240
• Citrine Prime's shoulder details now dissolve when aiming down sights.
• Removed the hit SFX on Entropic Eximus shields as it was being played squad-wide. This is a temporary change until we can fix the issue.

Top Fixes:

• Fixed an elevator exploit resulting in ever-increasing Eximus spawn counts in Zariman Ten Zero missions.
• Fixed being unable to destroy Corrupted Nullifier bubbles by shooting the bubble itself.
• Fixed longer transmission SFX being cut off early.
• Fixed Citrine Prime's shoulder armor offsets being upside down.

  • This change also restored the ability to create pitch black materials on Voidshell skins.
  • Also fixed some cases of golden Decorations being too yellow following our metal shader changes. Given the variety of decorations in the game, many still remain affected, so we’ll be keeping an eye out for reports as we continue to work to address this issue.
• Fixed the Neo K10 Relic having the Gyre Systems instead of the Gyre Prime Systems.
  • Replacement Script: We’ll be replacing all claimed Gyre Systems with the correct Gyre Prime Systems via a script later this week. We’ll update this thread with more information once it is complete.
• Fixed cases of players getting both positive and negative values of all rolled Traits when cycling an unlocked Riven.
  • Also fixed rare cases of players being able to roll a positive and negative value of the same trait.
  • Riven Mod Fixing: This was patched live yesterday (September 23) at around 12pm ET, but some players may have chosen the Riven with the broken stats. For those Riven Mods with a) multiple negative traits or b) a trait that has both a positive and a negative, the incorrect negative traits will be removed in a future hotfix.
  • Kuva Refund Script: players who cycled a Riven and were presented a broken Riven will have their Kuva refunded via a script, regardless if the broken Riven was chosen. We will update this thread with more information once it is run!
• Fixed Narin being able to equip a Heavy Weapon while Nurinarim is active.

Performance Issues:

• Fixed Clients experiencing a large spotload after travelling from the Yuvan Peak to the Chrysalith.
• Fixed performance issues related to Narin.
• Fixed performance issues sometimes leading to a crash in Yuvan Peak when someone attempts to pull Narin's Iceblade.
• Fixed performance issues caused by Aksondol's reload when using Mirage with Hall of Mirrors active.

Mission and Equipment Fixes:

• Fixed the Mobile Defense terminal having a misaligned interaction prompt if it spawned in the new Melica's Laboratory tile in the Zariman Ten Zero.
• Fixed Ivara being able to control her Primary Weapon like a Glaive due to an interaction between Navigator and Wrathful Advance.
• Fixed missing vortex SFX in the Ryoku fight in Scoria's Angel missions.
• Fixed the cold mist from Aksonol's reload incorrectly triggering Secondary Enervate.

Cosmetic Fixes:

• Fixes towards GI lighting over-emphasizing Operator/Drifter pores.
• Fixed Citrine Prime losing her shoulder piece, skirt, and other prime attachments after equipping the Aphrodita Helmet or a TennoGen helmet.
  • While we are fixing this bug, we will be turning these attachments into an Auxiliary attachment in a future update.
• Fixed tint colors not applying to the crystal reflections on the Spinele Prime Operator/Drifter accessories.
• Fixes towards cloth physics issues on Narin's skirt.
• Fixed the Gothica Signa's cloth not being tattered.

Miscellaneous Fixes:

• Fixed attempting to pull out Narin's Iceblade while in motion resulting in the animation being misaligned.
  • Also fixed missing SFX when attempting to pull out Narin's Iceblade.
  • Also fixed cases of the VFX being misaligned.
• Fixed a broken icon and filepath appearing in Cephalon Melica's vendor screen on the Yuvan Peak.
• Fixed cases of emoting next to Narin's Iceblade causing players to fall through the map.
• Fixed gifting multiple Relic Packs resulting in each pack containing the same Relics.
  • If you were affected by this issue (as the gifter), we ask that you submit a support ticket for further assistance.
• Fixed various map holes and texture seams in The War Within map.
• Fixed minor skybox lighting issues in the remastered The War Within map.
• Fixed missing SFX when unlocking a Riven Trait and made various minor polish changes to this screen.
• Fixed a player dying after an attempted but failed revive causing their death message to incorrectly state that they were revived.
• Fixed missing information in Narin's market blueprint description.
• Fixed minor polish issues in Narin's diorama.
• Fixed additional cases of Warframes that were released prior to Oraxia not using colorful status icons for their stats in menus.
• Fixed a minor typo on the update screen that Gary was unfairly blamed for. Sorry Gary!

UPDATE 44: ICEBLADE OF NARIN

At the summit of a familiar peak on Earth — the place you first mastered your Void powers — a mysterious frozen monument has taken shape, prompting strange happenings aboard the Zariman and a new threat from the Man in the Wall…

Return to where you were presented with the decision to destroy, control or consume a powerful elixir: Yuvan Peak! Visit the dark side of Earth and enter a unique hub. At this spectacular mountain summit, you'll find Narin's Crest and Neote, Narin’s legendary sword, encased firmly in the ice. Marvel at its wonder and attempt to pull Narin’s Iceblade free.

Cephalon Melica has also been summoned to Yuvan’s Peak, but unfortunately not for a fun field trip. Entropy threatens the Zariman, and Narin’s influence on the Peak is key to stopping its spread. Collect Entropic Kuva from Entropic Eximus found on the Zariman, and exchange it with Melica to contain it. In doing so, you’ll receive items from her wares, including Narin’s blueprints!

Our 66th Warframe, Narin, also descends in swirling eddies in this update! Her blade keen and deadly as an icy wind. She wields ice to heal and defend as deftly as her swift rapier strikes. Trade Entropic Kuva to Cephalon Melica for Narin’s blueprints, as well as the blueprints to craft her signature weapons’ Nunchasa and Aksondol.

The crystalline citadel ascends, Citrine Prime Access is here! Move through the battlefield with refined radiance with Citrine Prime, Steflos Prime, Corufell Prime and her Prime Accessories. Purchase Citrine Prime Access Packs or earn this brilliant gem of a Prime Warframe and her weapons by cracking Relics.

Two new Deluxe Skin Collections are here to make the ground shake! Qorvex Basilica and Banshee Threnodia arrive with a collection of cosmetics fit for those looking to strike terror in the most fashionable of ways. Speaking of Banshee, our sound Warframe, has received a full rework to make her a truly lethal presence not only heard but felt on the battlefield.

Iceblade of Narin is packed with so much more! Including Riven Trait Locking, new Warframe Augments for Oraxia, Uriel, Frost, and Grendel, new Atragraph Mods for Banshee and Baruuk, new TennoGen, improved hair shaders and metal tinting, Archimedea Parameter & Reward track QOL and so much more!

Update 44 is a Mainline Update!

Meaning that everything the team has been working on since the launch of Update 43: Jade Shadows: Constellations 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 Iceblade of Narin subforums to address in follow-up Hotfixes.

If any of the terms above are new to you, visit The Warframe Lexicon for Updates to learn more about Warframe’s development cycle.

Download Sizes:

• PC DirectX 11: ~7.83 GB*
• PC DirectX 12: ~8 GB*

*Sound Optimization
You may notice a larger download size with this update due to optimization of our sound files. This requires you to download new versions of the files that when patched into your installation will result in a smaller install footprint overall without compromising any audio quality.

Image Description: Yuvan Peak sits in tranquility with several pillars adorned by talismans and ice. Somewhat in the distance we can see a Warframe standing near a frozen monolith with a pale blue glow.

NEW EARTH RELAY: YUVAN PEAK

Attention students! It’s time for a field trip.

Cephalon Melica has been summoned to Yuvan Peak on Earth. This familiar site is now transformed by Narin’s influence — her glacial Crest glitters against the snow. Within this frozen monument lies her Iceblade: Neote. Perhaps you’ll be the one to pull it free.

Video Description: GIF showing the rotation effect when selecting the Yuvan Peak node on Earth. The camera pans around Lua and reveals the other side of Earth where Yuvan Peak is the lone visible node.

This trip is not all fun, however. Entropic Kuva is seeping into the Zariman, and Yuvan Peak holds the key to help stop its threat.

Prerequisites: To access Yuvan Peak, players must have completed both the Angels of the Zariman and Whispers in the Walls quest.

In this new Hub, gain access to the following:

• New Vendor: Cephalon Melica
  • For more information on her wares, please visit her dedicated section below.
• Coming Soon: Glacial Defiance (New 6-Player Game Mode)
  • This content is not yet released, but Yuvan Peak will be where you can start these missions. Learn more about general release window and the reasoning behind the delay: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1523427-psa-glacial-defiance-release-window/
• Narin’s Iceblade in Narin’s Crest

Image Description: A closeup of Narin’s Crest, a single sword stuck in a frozen pillar. Framing it are two large curved ice structures, a snowy path littered with stones, and vast white clouds in the distance.

Narin’s Crest

On Yuvan Peak, Neote, Narin’s Iceblade, can be found frozen solid in a mound of ice, anchored firmly. Who will be the one to pull Neote from Narin’s Crest?

Image Description: Narin stands in front of Cephalon Melica on the snowy Yuvan Peak. A “Cephalon Melica” context action is visible.

New Vendor: Cephalon Melica

Oh, students! A familiar face is eager to greet you once you have made it to the Yuvan Peak. Concerned with the effects that Entropy is having aboard the Zariman, Cephalon Melica requires your assistance in containing its spread. Collect Entropic Kuva and bring it to Cephalon Melica and she may provide you with knowledge and supplies in exchange.

ZARIMAN UPDATES

Image Description: Melica’s Lab has a small vertical monitor displaying the Cephalon with a red overlay. Behind it is a large cylindrical machine spanning across multiple levels with various doors and alcoves visible.

New Tile: Melica’s Lab Room

Onboard the Zariman, a room previously sealed is now open for you to explore. Melica’s Lab features a central machine in a large open floorspace, punctuated by smaller alcoves where Melica conducted a variety of mysterious experiments. Just what was Melica hoping to achieve? This new tile has a random chance to spawn in Zariman missions!

Image Description: Three Entropic Eximus units face us in the Zariman. Red energy glows across different parts of their body while they are encapsulated in a red sphere that seems almost gelatinous.

New Enemy: Entropic Eximus

A new batch of Eximus have invaded the Zariman! Entropic Eximus can spawn in any mission on the Zariman, with a higher spawn rate over other types of Eximus units! A few even show up when fighting Void Angels, so be extra careful when starting that fight!

Entropic Eximus come equipped with a nearly impenetrable shield bubble, tossing destructive orbs at those who are too afraid to get close.The best counter is to slip inside their bubble and take them out from the inside, just be wary as they bring their destructive orbs crashing down around them.

Entropic Eximus are more than just a new Eximus type - they are also the only method for obtaining Entropic Kuva!

Entropic Eximus Clarifications
To help you in your hunt for Entropic Eximus (and their Entropic Kuva), we’re offering more information on how these enemies work so you can understand a) how to kill them and b) what behaviours are intended. We are also adding this information to the original Update Notes.

Entropic Eximus have a resistance to non-melee attacks, forcing you to get in close and use your melee weapon. Breaking the bubble will enable abilities to target the Eximus, but will not change the Eximus’s damage resistance.

• Damage from non-melee sources is reduced by 90%.
  • For Operators, damage is instead reduced by 75%.
• Companions do not target Entropic Eximus

Entropic Eximus bubbles prevent projectiles from entering, and prevent Warframe abilities from dealing damage to the Entropic Eximus, from both inside and outside the bubble! The bubble can be broken two ways:

• Dealing melee damage with the Iceblade of Narin buff from Neote on Yuvan Peak will break the bubble if either the bubble or the Entropic Eximus is struck.
• Tauron strikes will break the bubble upon contact.

Image Description: A closeup of the icon for Entropic Kuva. It has a similar shape to regular Kuva but is noticeably blue instead of red and features frozen spikes along its bulbous portion.

New Resource: Entropic Kuva

A dangerous and erratic type of Kuva, acquired solely from Entropic Eximus units in Zariman missions.

Collect and exchange it with Cephalon Melica at Yuvan’s Peak for wares, including Narin’s Blueprints and more!

Image Description: Narin gracefully dances with blade extended and pointing towards Yuvan Peak. Her pose is almost suggestive of channeling a vortex of snow and talismans towards the peak.

NEW WARFRAME: NARIN

Narin descends in swirling eddies, her blade keen and deadly as an icy wind. She wields ice to defend as deftly as her swift rapier strikes.

Narin’s Abilities

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/1523355-september-2026-riven-dispositions/

RIVEN EXPANSION: TRAIT LOCKING (LIVE) & RIVEN SPLICING (COMING SOON)

You may have already seen a sneak preview of these new systems in our Dev Workshop. With today’s launch, Trait Locking is officially live and Riven Splicing will be coming soon with the release of Glacial Defiance! Read on below for the latest on these systems.

Riven Mods (often just called “Rivens” for short) were introduced in 2016, and are nearly a decade old now! With this update we’ve added a new feature for Rivens: Trait Locking! A second new feature will join Glacial Defiance: Riven Splicing. We’ll share a little information about Riven Splicing below, for a more detailed preview of the system you can check out our Dev Workshop.

TRAIT LOCKING (LIVE)

One of the primary requests we’ve received for Riven Mods is to allow players to lock a stat to prevent it from being Cycled. Now, you can do so with a system called Trait Locking!

One trait (stat) can be locked at a time while cycling a Riven, freezing it until the lock is removed or the Cycling menu is closed.

There is no cost or item required to lock a trait. Locks can be removed and re-added for free! However, when cycling a Riven Mod with a locked trait, the Kuva cost is doubled. Locking a trait is entirely optional, and Rivens can still be cycled as usual without a lock.

How to Lock a Riven Trait:

1. Go to the Mod Segment in your Base of Operations

2. Select the Riven Mod you’d like to cycle and select the “Cycle Riven” option

3. Select the “Lock Trait” button

Image Description: Screenshot of the Riven Mod UI showing the Soma Argicron Mod. The options for Lock Trait and Cycle for 3,500 Kuva are shown and the cursor is hovering on Lock Trait.

4. Select the trait you wish to lock. The locked trait will appear greyed out with a lock icon on the Mod and will also be listed above the “Lock Trait” button.

Image Description: Screenshot of the Choose A Trait To Lock UI screen. Two traits are displayed as options, the first is a 1.5 times Damage to Grineer, and the second is an increased Critical Chance by 167.2%.

Image Description: Screenshot of the Riven Mod UI screen showing the Soma Argircon Mod with a locked trait denoted by a lock icon. Above the Lock Trait option is the currently locked trait of increased Critical Chance by 167.2% and a remove icon next to it.

5. Begin cycling your Riven with the locked trait! Notice that once locked, it will not change while cycling.

Image Description: Screenshot of the Riven Mod Cycling UI at the Cycle preview screen. We can see that the Riven Mod has a locked trait and the resulting cycled Mod retains the locked trait.

It is important to note that a trait needs to be re-locked each time you open this menu, as they are not maintained once the menu has been closed.

Cycling a Riven with a locked trait prevents the number of traits on the Mod from changing. This means a Mod with 3 positive traits and 1 negative trait will always cycle into another version with 3 positive traits and 1 negative trait if one of the traits is locked. To cycle into a different number of traits, unlock all traits and cycle again.

RIVEN SPLICING (LAUNCHING AT A LATER DATE WITH GLACIAL DEFIANCE)

Riven Splicing combines two traits on a Riven together to form a new spliced trait which is then locked on the Riven (without consuming a Trait Lock). Riven Splicing will require Riven Splicers, which will be rewarded from Glacial Defiance when it releases sometime before or on October 15 (release window PSA for more info). For more details about Riven Splicing, refer to our Dev Workshop.

BANSHEE REWORK

Banshee may not be at the top of your Loadout list, but those who have mastered her kit are able to deal a significant amount of damage in-mission. While not the flashiest pick, she can turn any weapon into something truly lethal — our goal is to maintain that lethality, while adding a few quality of life lifts to her Abilities. The following changes aim to make her kit feel fluid and impactful, while staying true to her identity as a sound-based Warframe.

Passive

Banshee’s Passive is helpful to a sect of players who value stealth, but largely has little effect in most missions. We are keeping her hush mechanic, but adding a little extra value that feels thematically appropriate for our sound-based Warframe.

• Banshee’s abilities pierce the ears of nearby enemies. Casting abilities applies maximum Puncture Status on foes within 10m.
• Banshee’s weapon noises are hushed.

First Ability - Sonic Boom

Sonic Boom is an excellent survival tool for Banshee, but its ragdoll mechanic does not synergize well with other elements of her kit. The following changes help improve its synergy, and improve Banshee’s overall survivability.

• Sonic Boom is now cast one-handed and no longer roots Banshee in place.
• Removed Ragdoll from affected enemies — now pushes them back and stuns them.
  • The ragdoll did not synergize well with Sonar as it made it harder to target the weakpoints.
• Increased Impact damage from 50 to 250.
• Sonic Boom now reduces 70% of Armor, scaling with Ability Strength up to 100%.
  • This mechanic was originally tied to Sonic Fracture, but is now part of her base kit.
• Sonic Boom now breaks resource containers and breakable decorations.
• Sonic Boom now deals a guaranteed Impact Status Effect.
• Renamed the “Strength” stat to “Push Force”, as it affects how strongly Sonic Boom will push enemies.

Sonic Fracture Augment

• Renamed to “Sonic Siphon”.
• Banshee gains Armor for 20s if an enemy is hit by Sonic Siphon, up to a cap of 1500 Armor.
  • Armor does not need to be stripped for this bonus Armor to apply!
• Recasting Sonic Siphon will refresh the Bonus Armor duration if an enemy is struck by the cast.

Second Ability - Sonar

Sonar turns many weapons into a powerhouse in the right hands, but requires a lot of spam casting to reach its full potential. In addition, it offers little synergy with existing Weak Point enhancements as Sonar’s Weak Spots are considered a separate mechanic. These changes address common player feedback, while also giving the ability a light quality of life lift.

• Sonar’s Weak Spots are now considered Weak Points, giving them synergy with a variety of Mods, Arcanes, and more.
• Sonar now prioritizes unmarked parts of the body for its Weak Spots to help with Weak Spot legibility.
  • The reticle now turns red when shooting at the Weak Spots, just like other Weak Points.
• Casting Sonar no longer roots Banshee in place.
• Updated SFX when hitting a Weak Spot.

Resonance Augment

• Unchanged.

Third Ability - Silence

Silence is a powerful Ability, but its impact on the battlefield is not always clear to players. The following changes help improve the visibility of its effects, with a few quality of life touches!

• Silence can now be recast to reset its duration and reapply the Stun.
• Casting Silence no longer roots Banshee in place.
• Improved VFX on enemies to make it clearer they are affected by Silence.

Savage Silence Augment

• Unchanged.

Fourth Ability - Sound Quake

Sound Quake is an iconic part of Banshee’s kit, but it struggles to synergize with her other Abilities. Our goal with the following changes is to make Sound Quake fit more fluidly into Banshee’s playstyle, while retaining the nostalgic elements that are emblematic of her kit.

• Sound Quake is no longer channelled. Casting the ability creates an area of effect with a duration of 25 seconds.
• Resonating Quake fans may be confused by this change — we are swapping the mechanics of the Augment and the base Ability to make Sound Quake synergize better with the rest of Banshee’s kit.
• Banshee is briefly invulnerable when casting Sound Quake.
• Enemies receive guaranteed Blast Status Effects while in Sound Quake’s area of effect, which reduces based on distance from the center.
• Increased casting animation speed to make it more fluid.
• Sound Quake now breaks containers within its entire area of effect, not just the 5 metres around the epicenter.

Resonating Quake Augment

• Renamed to “Gaseous Quake”.
• Gaseous Quake is now a channelled Ability, which takes on the mechanic of Banshee’s old Sound Quake.
• Banshee is rooted in place to channel Gaseous Quake, which deals additional Gas Damage and Status Effects to enemies in the area of effect.
• Gaseous Quake’s damage is multiplied every second during cast, up to a cap.
  • Energy drain also increases every second during casting.
• Gaseous Quake's area of effect now persists for a short duration after channelling ends.
• Improved Line of Sight now applies to Gaseous Quake.
• Updated VFX and SFX to reflect this new gassy styling of the Ability.

OPERATOR/DRIFTER IMPROVEMENTS

Hair Shader Improvements

We’ve improved the quality of our hair shaders with the goal of having richer colors and better visuals. Here’s what the team’s efforts have resulted in and what you can expect:

• Black hair is a much “truer” black, and less a “mid grey”
• Colored hair is deeper and more accurate to selected color
• White hair looks more white without losing depth
• Sheen is stronger but balanced with underlying color
• Added a slight rimlight on hair for “scattering”

While these changes are a major overall lift to hair shaders, you may have to make some adjustments to find your preferred look once more. At the same time, you may enjoy experimenting with the shaders and achieving looks that might not have been possible before, so have fun exploring new options!

Image Description: Composite image of a live build and dev build screenshot showcasing the difference in sheen and color on an Operator’s black hairstyle. In the live build the black hair has a grey tone compared to the dev build which has a deeper black.

Note: All color channels are set to the “blackest” black from the Smoke palette!

Image Description: Composite image of a live build and dev build screenshot showcasing the difference in a deep red hair color on an Operator. In the live build the deep red appears lighter than the selected color whereas the dev build is more accurate.

Image Description: Composite image of a live build and dev build screenshot showcasing the difference in highlights in an Operator’s hairstyle. The dev build changes feature the dimensions of the bright colors.

Image Description: Composite image of a live build and dev build screenshot showcasing the difference in visual fidelity of hair on an Operator with blonde and pink hair. The live build’s hair appears more muted while the dev build has a richer gradient in colors adding more depth.

These changes also apply to Kubrow fur!

Image Description: Composite image of a live build and dev build screenshot showcasing the difference in fur presentation on a Kubrow. In the live build the greys and blacks appear gray along with the blue being brighter than the dev build where each color is richer and deeper.

As a general note, we’ve also made a handful of small improvements to Operator and Drifter cosmetics and hair texture. We’ve also improved tint options to certain hairstyles that were previously not very customizable (ex: Short Sidecut, Kaya’s Hairstyle).

While in the pursuit of improving the shaders, we also acknowledge the effort that is dedicated to customizing your Operator and Drifter. So we’ll be watching for your feedback on these changes. Thank you, Tenno!

Vitiligo Complexion Changes

Image Description: Screenshot of the Drifter Features UI menu with the vitiligo complexion, Complexion B-17 selected. Two additional options are present, Markings Coverage and Invert Markings.

With this update we are changing the way that the vitiligo complexion, Complexion B-17, functions. Previously, the skin tone selected via Complexion Tint would apply across the entire skin and this would lead to unexpected tones or the erasure of vitiligo in some tone choices.

Now Complexion Tint applies only to melanated areas which allows for a better tinting overall and greater respect for the tone selected. Through the addition of two new features we have expanded your ability to customize your skin tone with vitiligo.

• Markings Coverage: Lets you adjust the degree to which the vitiligo pattern is present (i.e. the dispersion of melanin)
  • Note: In order for this option to become available, you must first select a complexion tint.
• Invert Markings: Lets you swap the current melanated vs lack of melanin regions within the vitiligo pattern

Video Description: GIF of the Drifter Features UI showing the effect of changing the Markings Coverage slider on the vitiligo pattern. The Invert Markings toggle is then turned on and off to show the swap in melanated and non-melanted areas.

We hope these changes allow you to better shape and express your Operator/Drifter in the way you would like!

QUALITY OF LIFE (QOL) CHANGES

Weak Point Standardization

With our changes to Banshee’s Sonar, we are working on a wider standardization of Weak Points. There are a variety of Abilities and enhancements that trigger “On Headshot”, but enemies have a variety of weak points outside of just their heads (if they even have a head, depending on the enemy). As a result, we are working to convert all “On Headshot” triggers to be “On Weakpoint” instead. This is a large undertaking considering the vast array of Incarnons, Mods, Arcanes, Unique Traits, and more, so we’re prioritizing the most popular enhancements to start.

Converted the following triggers from “On Headshot” to “On Weakpoint”:

• Longbow Sharpshot
• Argon Scope
• Hydraulic Crosshairs
• Galvanized Crosshairs
• Galvanized Scope
• Primary Deadhead
• Secondary Deadhead
• Arcane Precision
• Arcane Pistoleer
• Sharpshooter
• Harrow’s Thurible, Covenant and Lasting Covenant Augment

In addition, we have converted Helios’ Detect Vulnerability Precept to apply Weak Points instead of weak spots so it matches Banshee’s updated Sonar.

We’ll continue this effort in future updates!

Metal Tint Improvements

Similar to our hair shaders, there’s been a longstanding issue with dark tinted metals appearing grey. We have fixed this for Iceblade of Narin by making changes to the encoding to achieve richer and more saturated metals. Where the current system has a difficult time honoring your chosen tint on metal channels, this new one should more accurately reflect the selected color.

Image Description: Composite image of a live build screenshot and dev build screenshot showcasing the metal tint differences for Frost. Metal regions around the arms, chest, and abdomen are a deeper and richer blue in the dev build.

Image Description: Composite image of a live build screenshot and dev build screenshot showcasing the metal tint differences for Caliban. His red metal accents are more saturated in the dev build.

Image Description: Composite image of a live build screenshot and dev build screenshot showcasing the metal tint differences for Garuda. Garuda’s red metal tints are deeper and richer.

Image Description: Composite image of a live build screenshot and dev build screenshot showcasing the metal tint differences for Gara. Gara’s metal frame in the dev build looks richer and deeper.

On this morning’s pre-launch livestream, pitch black metals were shown to be achievable across all metals on the test build. This is unintended and will be removed in our first hotfix. We apologize! We are however still looking to maintain it specifically for the Voidshell Ayatan Elegance Material, which is currently not functioning as it was prior to the update, something we are looking to fix in the future. We apologize for the fashionframe inconvenience!

As fellow fashionframe enjoyers ourselves, we know that customizing is a universally important element to the Warframe experience, so we will be watching for your feedback on the changes. Thank you, Tenno!

The Perita Rebellion Mine Rework

While traversing the battlefield of The Perita Rebellion, you may have encountered small interactable mines which pose environmental hazards. We have made a few changes to these mines to prevent accidental activation, reduce aiming complexity, and to encourage using melee rather than shooting them.

Mines will now:

• No longer spawn on top of each other and cannot spawn inside of the larger mines from the Clear the Minefield Order
• Have a light that blinks to identify that it is a mine and the light’s blinking increases the closer your proximity to the mine
• Rise up from the ground into melee attack height once a player enters within their activation proximity
• Prioritize targets based on where your crosshair is pointing when attempting to melee them

General QOL:

• Updated the Zariman Ten Zero’s mission drop tables so that Aeolak and Hespar component blueprints appear in every Rotation, instead of just Rotation C.
  • Also changed Galeforce Dawn to drop from all Rotations of Void Armageddon instead of only Rotation C.
• Grendel Changes:
  • Reduced the decay rate of enemies in Grendel’s gut by 50%.
    • Managing the amount of enemies in Grendel’s gut is essential for part of his kit, so this helps swallowed enemies last longer before he has to Feast again.
  • Grendel’s Regurgitate now does bonus damage based on the enemy’s Max Health instead of their current health in his Gut.
• Swapped Hydroid and Hydroid Prime’s Shield and Armor values following community feedback.
  • Hydroid:
    • Shields: 240 (was 365)
    • Armor: 365 (was 240)
  • Hydroid Prime:
    • Shields: 290 (was 650)
    • Armor: 650 (was 290)
  • The addition of Hydroid’s Plunder ability during his 2023 rework reoriented his kit towards health-based survivability. This change leans further into emphasizing Hydroid’s strengths in a way that makes sense for him.
• The following resources can now be fed to Helminth for Secretions:
  • Pheromones: Beating Heartstrings
  • Biotics: Scuttler Husks
  • Calx:
    • Temporal Dust
    • Fergolyte
    • Fate Pearls
  • Bile:
    • Ignia
    • Maphica
  • Oxides:
    • Agnovidisc
    • Laudavi
    • Servoris
• The following Perita resources can now be donated to your Clan Vault and are also eligible for Clan Vault Resource Bonus:
  • Agnovidisc
  • Laudavi
  • Servoris
• Updated the list of eligible enemies for the Vessel challenges in the Sands of Inaros quest:
  • Denial Bursa: all Bursa variants (not just Denial) now count for this challenge
  • Brood Mother: added Deimos and Uranus Proxima variants
  • Crewman: added Railjack and Narmer variants
  • Juggernaut: added Deimos, Demolisher, and Behemoth variants
  • Hyekka Master: added Nightwatch variant
  • Manic: added Manic Bombard and Nightwatch variants
  • Railgun Moa: added Railjack variants
  • Seeker: added Kuva, Nightwatch, Tusk, and Narmer variants
  • Volatile Runner: added Deimos variants
• Added the amount of currently owned Fergolyte and a progression element to the Prince contribution menu UI.
• Resource description tool tips now appear while hovering over the warning icon that indicates when you lack the required resource to purchase an item from a vendor.
  • Since this is where players are likely to mouseover, we figured it would be helpful to show them what the resource is and where to get it.
• Improved spawn location logic for players using the /unstuck command.

MANDARIN VOICE OVER EXPANSION

We’ve made two big changes to both Mandarin voice over lines and subtitles:

CHANGES

Archimedea Parameter & Reward Track Changes

Archimedea is changing! A variety of changes are coming to the choices a Tenno makes before starting an Archimedea (both Deep Archimedea and Temporal Archimedea, including their Elite versions) mission.

Arsenal Bonuses

Warframes and Weapons alike will be granted an Arsenal Boost for matching their respective Individual Parameters! The buff received will be the same for each parameter, meaning regardless which Primary Weapon you choose, the boost is the same! Pick the Weapon or Warframe that works best with each boost for maximum efficiency!

Image Description: Screenshot of the Deep Archimedea UI screen showing the Individual Parameters, Missions, Research Points Track, and Current Loadout. Specific elements of the Individual Parameters are highlighted that match the current loadout.

Reward Track Changes

We’re moving around a few of the rewards at the top end of the Elite Archimedea Reward Tracks, and adding a new reward!

• A new reward is added at 34 points, consisting of Vosfor or Pix Chips, for Deep Archimedea or Temporal Archimedea respectively
• The Legendary reward at 34 points has been moved to 37 points
• The final reward at 37 points has been moved to 40 points

Image Description: Composite image of before and after the update to Archimedea’s Research Points Reward Track. In the after image we can see a change in the rewards at 34 and 37 points and the addition of a reward at 40.

Warframe Research Point Changes

Studious Tenno may have noticed that the 40 points now required for maximum rewards is higher than the current maximum! Worry not, we’re also increasing the amount of points from using one of the 3 Warframes under Individual Parameters - they will now grant 3 Research Points per mission, up from 1! This raises the maximum amount of points in one Elite Archimedea mission to 43.

The highest tier reward (at 40 points) will now be obtainable without one Individual Parameter (other than Warframe), and the Legendary reward is achievable whilst leaving behind two Individual Parameters!

Additional Personal Modifiers

Six new Personal Modifiers have been added to the rotation to keep you on your toes!

• Infected Wounds: Gain a Toxin Status Effect every time you take damage.
• Anemic Shields: Maximum shield and overshield will not exceed 500.
• Shortened Reach: Ability range reduced by 50%
• No Pets Allowed: Companions are disabled.
  • Note: When playing Khora, this does not disable Venari.
• Channeled Greed: While a channeled ability is active, maximum shields and overshields are reduced each second. 10s cooldown to fully recover.
• Low Yield: Blast radius of weapons with radial attacks set to 3m

Plus one change to an existing Personal Modifier:

• Framecurse Syndrome: Activating an Ability inflicts 50 damage and 150 shield damage upon you.
  • Added the damage to shields

Personal Modifier Buckets
To ensure no combination of Personal Modifiers are too difficult, we’ve also split them into 4 buckets, and one Modifier will be selected from each bucket per week.

Due to Archimedea Modifiers being selected at the beginning of the week, this will first occur on the next weekly reset at: September 28, 2026 at Midnight UTC.

Group One:

• Ability Overload
• Dropped Guard
• Dull Blades
• Framecurse Syndrome
• Hypersensitive
• Knifestep Syndrome
• Low Yield

Group Two:

• Abbreviated Abilities

Fixes

The War Within Quest Art Remaster

We’ve made several improvements to the levels in The War Within Quest to elevate this crucial chapter for the Tenno. The environment art, lighting and skyboxes have been updated in the Golden Maw and Mountain Pass sections to create a more realistic and dramatic experience.

General Changes

Hey Tenno!

We talked briefly about the new Riven features during Devshort 115, and clarified more details in our recap forum thread and Devshort 116. We wanted to provide a comprehensive look at this system in anticipation of its (partial) launch tomorrow. This Dev Workshop dives into all the details! As this is a Dev Workshop, details contained within are accurate at the time of writing but are subject to change before these features are released.

Riven Mods (often just called “Rivens” for short) were introduced in 2016, and are nearly a decade old now! With Iceblade of Narin we’re adding a new feature for Rivens: Trait Locking!

A second new feature will be added with the release of Glacial Defiance at a later date (see our PSA for more info): Riven Splicing. We understand that this mechanic may change how you cycle your Rivens, so we want you to be aware of what is coming so you can make informed decisions up until its release.

TRAIT LOCKING (Coming with Iceblade of Narin)
One of the primary requests we’ve received for Riven Mods is to allow players to lock a stat to prevent it from being Cycled. Now, you can do so with a system called Trait Locking!

One trait (stat) can be locked at a time while cycling a Riven, freezing it until the lock is removed or the Cycling menu is closed.

There is no cost or item required to lock a trait. Locks can be removed and re-added for free! However, when cycling a Riven Mod with a locked trait, the Kuva cost is doubled. Locking a trait is entirely optional, and Rivens can still be cycled as usual without a lock.

How to Lock a Riven Trait:
1. Go to the Mod Segment in your Base of Operations
2. Select the Riven Mod you’d like to cycle and select the “Cycle Riven” option
3. Select the “Lock Trait” button

4. Select the trait you wish to lock. The locked trait will appear greyed out with a lock icon on the Mod and will also be listed above the “Lock Trait” button.

5. Begin cycling your Riven with the locked trait! Notice that once locked, it will not change while cycling.

It is important to note that a trait needs to be re-locked each time you open this menu, as they are not maintained once the menu has been closed.

Cycling a Riven with a locked trait prevents the number of traits on the Mod from changing. This means a Mod with 3 positive traits and 1 negative trait will always cycle into another version with 3 positive traits and 1 negative trait if one of the traits is locked. To cycle into a different number of traits, unlock all traits and cycle again.

RIVEN SPLICING (Launching at a later date with Glacial Defiance)
With the use of Riven Splicers, obtained exclusively from Glacial Defiance, specific traits can be combined to create all-new spliced traits! When selecting a Riven Mod, a new Riven Splicing menu will appear. Opening this menu will display all owned Rivens, detailing which Rivens have valid trait combinations.

Select any lit up Riven Mod to see which traits can be spliced! Spliced traits require a combination of two specific traits to splice together, with different combinations creating different outcomes! Combinations are pre-selected (see the list at the bottom of this section), and confirmation is required before applying a spliced trait to your Riven. This means you’ll always know what spliced trait you’re about to receive before you make a decision. If multiple spliced traits are available from a single Riven Mod, they are all presented, and you can choose which spliced trait you want!

As an example: Heat and Cold create Blast, Heat and Toxin create Gas, and Toxin and Cold create Viral. A Riven Mod with +Heat Damage, +Cold Damage, and +Toxin damage will have 3 spliced traits to choose from: +Blast Damage, +Gas Damage, and +Viral Damage. Which spliced trait goes on the Riven Mod is your choice!

When traits are spliced, the two required traits are consumed, with the spliced trait AND a second random trait taking their place. The random trait is one you may receive from cycling normally, with one change: If one of the consumed traits was a negative bonus, the random trait will also be a negative, if both consumed traits were positive, it will be a positive. This ensures your Riven keeps the same layout of positive and negative traits it has before combining! After splicing, the total number of positive and negative traits will no longer change on the Riven Mod, no matter how many times it is cycled after the fact. This can be undone by removing the spliced trait from the Riven.

Once a spliced trait is on your Riven, it’s there to stay! It is locked, and but is not considered a locked trait — meaning it will not double your Kuva cost. Should you ever decide to remove the trait, the lock can be removed and the spliced trait can be cycled off, allowing a new trait to be spliced on! Utilize both a spliced trait and trait locking to lock two traits at once, making cycling for the last trait or two you want even easier. Now your weapon can really live up to the “CorpusSlayer9001” name!

As an example: If splicing together a Mod with 3 Positive stats and 0 Negative stats, such as +Heat Damage, +Cold Damage, and +Toxin Damage, you may choose +Viral Damage as the spliced trait. Choosing +Viral Damage leaves the Riven with +Heat Damage, +Viral Damage, and a random positive modifier. No matter how many times the Riven is cycled, it retains +Viral Damage and 2 other positive traits, with 0 negative traits. You could even lock one of the other traits, guaranteeing two traits and cycling for the perfect final trait!

The full list of combined traits and which traits are required to obtain them can be found below:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Can traits used to create a spliced trait be obtained again on the same Riven? If I use Cold Damage and Toxin Damage to create Viral Damage (a spliced trait), can I get Cold Damage or Toxin Damage on the Riven again?

A: You can! Once a trait is consumed to make a spliced trait, it can re-appear on the Riven. In this example, you could have Cold Damage, Toxin Damage, and Viral Damage on the same Riven Mod.

EDIT:

We have added a spliced trait that was missing from the original post. On Melee Weapons: Damage + Status Chance = Status Damage

Hey Tenno! We wanted you to get an early look at the upcoming hair shader and metal tint improvements we have planned for the upcoming Iceblade of Narin Update launching this week on September 23rd.

Before we jump into the details, we want to take a moment to recognize (as fellow fashionframe enjoyers ourselves) that customizing is a universally important element to the Warframe experience and while this is a major overall lift to these systems, you will likely notice changes that you may want to tweak once the update launches. That said, you may feel inspired to try out more color options and explore new looks now that these shaders have been improved.

HAIR SHADER IMPROVEMENTS

We’ve improved the quality of our hair shaders with the goal of having richer colors and better visuals. Here’s what the team’s efforts have resulted in and what you can expect:

• Black hair is a much “truer” black, and less a “mid grey”
• Colored hair is deeper and more accurate to selected color
• White hair looks more white without losing depth
• Sheen is stronger but balanced with underlying color
• Added a slight rimlight on hair for “scattering”

Rebb and Pablo previewed some of these changes on the Dev Build during the Devshort 115, but here are some comparative shots with the latest updates between the live and dev build to give you a better idea of what you can expect across a spectrum of colors and styles.

Note: All color channels are set to the “blackest” black from the Smoke palette!

These changes will also apply to Kubrow fur!

METAL TINT IMPROVEMENTS

Similar to hair, there’s been a longstanding issue with dark tinted metals appearing grey. We have fixed this for Iceblade of Narin by making changes to the encoding to achieve richer and more saturated metals. Where the current system has a difficult time honoring your chosen tint on metal channels, this new one should more accurately reflect the selected color.

You can see these changes reflected in the following comparative shots from the live and dev build:

And for those that are fans of the pitch black look, we are trying to maintain it! In the process of updating the metal tints, we’re taking careful consideration to keep the ability to achieve it with the Voidshell Ayatan Elegance Material. We will have full details in the official Iceblade of Narin patchnotes.

As mentioned in the intro, while in the pursuit of improving these systems we also want to respect the time and effort that is dedicated to customizing. So we’ll be watching for your thoughts on these changes when the update launches. Thank you for reading, Tenno!
