Granum Void

The Granum Void is unlocked upon finishing the The Deadlock Protocol, a quest available from your codex. Playing the minigame associated with these mystical arcade machines can get you some nice rewards, including high-tech weaponry, cosmetics or even Protea. Granum Void access is granted by interacting with the golden hand statues found on Corpus ship missions (like Fossa on Venus) and paying a Granum Crown (dropped by treasurers on those same maps) to open a portal for your group. Higher level treasurers will drop a higher grade of crown that opens a higher difficulty Granum Void that gives different rewards. … Continue reading Granum Void

Fortuna & Orb Vallis

Situated on Venus and accessible through the Fortuna mission node, Orb Vallis is a massive open-world expanse of icy mountains, Orokin artifice and corpus industry. An introductory quest is available from Eudico in Fortuna, that will reward you with a K-Drive, access to the Solaris United syndicate and a Garuda blueprint. The enemies you face will be from the corpus faction, including some rather dangerous robotic proxies – expect them to hit hard and disable powers with Nullifier and Scrambus units! Bounty missions are the primary activity type on the Vallis and can be picked up from Eudico, sitting beside … Continue reading Fortuna & Orb Vallis

Companions

Overview: Companions offer great utility to a Tenno, bringing bursts of stealth, item collection, shield recharge and healing functionality – but you can only bring one at a time. Once you’ve picked a companion, you’ll need to level them to get mod capacity and unlock their full potential. The best way to get affinity for your companions is to take them into a public match, since they will receive a share of the affinity generated by other players. Like any other “item” each type or breed of companion and companion weapon will provide mastery the first time you level them … Continue reading Companions

Kuva Liches & Larvlings

The Old Blood brought the kuva lich system, powerful enemies looking for revenge against their killers – namely, you. Bringing a collection of new and variant weapons, and fortified with a core of liquid kuva, these monstrosities need a bit of preparation to hunt. Creation: A kuva lich is created when you finish off a larvling – grineer soldiers selected for greatness by their queen. In practical terms, if you are fighting grineer of level 20+ you may intercept a message from a kuva guardian talking about clone rot – kill 10 grineer within the next 30 seconds and a … Continue reading Kuva Liches & Larvlings

The Steel Path

Once you’ve completed the star chart, what do you do next? The Steel Path offers players the chance to show off their knowledge and skill against tougher, high level enemies in a variety of missions, with enhanced rewards. Unlock: One the player has completed all “connected” nodes on the star chart, Teshin will message the player about unlocking the Steel Path – all you need to do is go to a relay and speak to him. In essence, you need to complete every node on the star chart, with the exception of the Assassination Missions: Mutalist Alad V and The … Continue reading The Steel Path

Plains Of Eidolon

The first open world map added to Warframe, situated on Earth and possessing different enemies during the day and night cycles. In addition you can find a number of quests, a couple of frames and the titular Eidolons. The primary activities are bounties, picked up in the town of Cetus from Konzu or via bounty boards in the plains themselves (look for an orange icon) and consisting of a series of short themed missions with rewards randomly generated from a set list based on their difficulty along with a small amount of Ostron Standing. You can expect anything from 3 … Continue reading Plains Of Eidolon

Helminth

Fed up with your current abilities? Have a bunch of frames cluttering up your inventory? Have too many resources built up over time? All these and more can be solved with the Helminth, a friendly(ish) infested creature living inside your Orbiter. Cyst: The first use of the Helminth is to remove the pink growth that can occur on the neck of a frame. By entering the Helminth room and sitting in the chair, you can instantly remove the growth and prevent it from ever returning. Alternatively, you can drain the cyst into a kubrow egg if you have an incubator, … Continue reading Helminth

Focus

Unlocked after The Second Dream (with even more options after The War Within) focus lines grant you another layer of options when putting together your loadout, and can be used to add offence, defence and utility to your playstyle. Points: By attaching a focus lens to a max rank piece of equipment (you’ll get one as part of the Second Dream and also a whole bunch from bounty missions in Deimos/Orb Valis/Plains of Eidolon) you will generate a small amount of focus from otherwise “wasted” affinity. This will be multiplied when you find a convergence orb (yellow energy sphere) or … Continue reading Focus

Cambion Drift

The third open-world zone released in Warframe, Deimos is the infested remnants of the territory of House Entrati, Orokin artificers and scientists with a taint of madness. The Heart Of Deimos: An introduction quest can be obtained in your orbiter, that will give you a taste of the mission types available in the Drift, along with some of the lore of House Entrati, Orokin involved in void technology, trapped and corrupted by the Infested. This will also reward you with the blueprint for Xaku! Necralisk: The corrupted bastion of Orokin House Entrati, within which the contaminated remainder of that bloodline … Continue reading Cambion Drift

Kitguns and Zaws

Custom weapons for the discerning Tenno, zaws and kitguns are assembled from a selection of components, allowing you to tailor their function, speed, recoil, critical/status chance balance and looks. Gilding: Levelling a custom weapon is pretty simple, but does have a coupe of things you should be aware of. When you first create a weapon, you will not be able to install an Orokin reactor/forma or change the colour scheme. Level it to 30 and you can take it back to the merchant you bought it from and gild it – this will unlock all those options, allow you to … Continue reading Kitguns and Zaws
