RETURN OF VEN’KRA TEL AND SPRAG

Ven’kra Tel and Sprag await you in Break Narmer Missions, Tenno! Be ready to take on these bosses as they attempt to stop Kahl.

Ven’kra Tel can be encountered in the Prison Break mission, while Sprag is hiding out in the Junk Run mission. These fights are optional – once you are in the Break Narmer mission, seek them out if you so choose in between the main mission objectives!

Their weapon skins can be procured from the in-game Market. Flatten your enemies with the Renok Hammer Skin and take vicious, clean, and precise shots with the Avex Sniper Skin.

The Ven’kra Tel and Sprag models have also been updated in the Orokin Sabotage mission.

STYANAX GEROUSIC HELMET
Show bravery in the service of justice. An esteemed helmet for Styanax.

Styanax Gerousic Helmet Glyphs are also now available for purchase via the Glyph selection screen in your settings (Profile > Glyph > Search for “Styanax Gerousic Glyph”).

The Styanax Gerousic Helmet can be purchased via the in-game Market and will become available as a Blueprint in future Nightwave Cred Offerings (along with the rest of Styanax’s alt Helmets: Styanax Agogean Helmet and Styanax Synmora Helmet). 

NEW OSTRON DOJO DECORATIONS
Over 140 new Ostron Decorations are now available to give your Dojo the Cetus and Plains of Eidolon treatment.

A brand new Dojo room is also here: Ostron Cove! A secluded cove, somewhere on the Plains of Eidolon.

*We also moved several existing Ostron themed Decorations into the Ostron Tab in the Dojo Architect menu. 

NEW CHIPPER OFFERINGS: 

New Landing Craft – Skaut

A Grineer Bolkor remodeled for Tenno reinforcement. Skaut’s Air Support ‘Kahl Beacon’ calls Kahl and his allies for backup. When backup is active, subsequent uses replenishes health for Kahl and his team. Each player can call one additional Grineer brother to join the fight.

The Skaut can be purchased via in-game Market or in Chipper’s offerings in Kahl’s Garrison for Stock once you have completed the Veilbreaker Quest. 

New Archon Shard Ephemeras: 

Shard Hex Ephemera
Expose the power that courses through you. This Ephemera dynamically updates with your Warframe’s installed Archon Shards.

*NOTE: You must have Archon Shards installed on the Warframe that you are equipping the Shard Hex Ephemera onto in order for the Shards FX to appear when standing still. The Shard colors mirror what is equipped on your Warframe, but the Energy color radiating from the Shards is customizable. 

Shard Bane Ephemera
Express the Archon’s fury. This Ephemera dynamically updates with your Warframe’s installed Archon Shards.

*NOTE: You must have Archon Shards installed on the Warframe that you are equipping the Shard Bane Ephemera onto in order for the Shards to appear embedded. The Shard colors mirror what is equipped on your Warframe, but the Energy color radiating from the Shards is customizable. 

The Archon Shard Ephemera Blueprints can be found in Chipper’s offerings in Kahl’s Garrison for Stock.

As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1325375-nyx-psychic-bolts/?ct=1666206012

General Additions:

• Iron Wake is now home to a very special memorial to the late Tenno, Datareaper, located just behind Clem’s Fort. Datareaper created the character Clem and, with it, brought joy to many fellow Tenno. His memorial displays his favorite and most used Warframe, and his custom-colored Kronen Prime, as the Kronen was also his creation from a Contest long ago. Clem Forever <3.

Captura Changes & Fixes: 

• Added a “Weapons Enabled” toggle to disable weapons on Operator/Drifter.
• The options panel will now go transparent when the cursor is not hovering over it, so that you can see scene details when you are not actively making adjustments.
• Added a “This setting needs to be ON to use this feature: Film Grain” pop-up when attempting to change Grain while the Film Grain option is toggled off in the options panel.
• Fixed changes made to the Fade option for cameras in Captura not saving upon exiting the camera settings.

General Changes: 

• Armor attachments (Chest, Arms, Legs) and Syandanas are now available to be equipped on the Drifter!
  
• This is the first step towards bringing more customization options to the Drifter. For transparency on the process, the team is required to go through every single attachment and modify it for the skeleton of the Drifter (which includes adjusting those attachments for each suit as well, not just the base). With hundreds of armor pieces and Syandanas, the process is long. Which is why we started with the Drifter since their skeleton is similar to Warframes. Operator attachments may come down the line later, along with our continuation development towards applying Operator suits to Drifters. 
• Updated the Operator/Drifter customization screen:
  • Bundled Clothing/Features options into categories.
    
  • Added Search function to the lists of customizations.
    • This has also been applied to Kahl’s list of customizations. 
• Squadmates icons in the Player List UI will now show the Warframe/Operator they are playing by default, instead of their Glyphs.
  • There is now a “Show Teammate Glyphs Instead of Icons” option in the Interface Options to swap back to Glyphs if desired. 
  • Operator icons will not show to players who have not completed The Second Dream Quest. 
• Made the following changes to the UI pop-up notifications for pickups:
  • Added a UI pop-up notification for Voidplumes.
  • Updated the UI pop-up notification with a new look and flare. The pop-up now includes who on the team picked up the item (includes Syndicate Medallions and Voidplumes).
• Made changes to the Auto Install Mods logic on Warframes:
  • Auto Install valued survivability like health, shields and armor far above all else. These changes value “Ability” stats like Duration and Range just below survivability, choosing Mods like Stretch just after Vitality and Redirection.
  • Also added value to certain beginner QOL Mods, for players that don’t have base Ability stat Mods yet.
• Added FX flare to the Syndicate Ranks icons in the Syndicate screens.
• Made several updates to the Haunted Interior Decorations – increased the spooky!
• Added “Speed” stat in UI for Revenant’s Reave, and Gauss’ Mach Rush, and passive.
• Made slight tweaks to Caliban’s audio mix.
• Changed the Azima’s Alt-Fire disc maximum duration to 30 seconds.
  • In Update 32, we set this to 11 seconds as a reaction to players using the Azima with a very specific Mod configuration which resulted in a math bug and the disc unintentionally lasting over 5 minutes. That kind of AFK strategy is not what we want to encourage in Warframe. After further review and reading feedback, we agreed with the feedback that 11 seconds is too short and cuts into what you could achieve with legitimate Modding. With the new duration of 30 seconds we hope to strike a compromise between having your Mods and Abilities matter, without returning to an entirely AFK gameplay strategy.
• Improved when a prompt is sent to head over to the support page after crashing due to being out of memory.
  • The launcher will now also inform when attempting to launch the game with slightly less RAM than is specified by the minspec.
• Updated the “Insufficient Platinum” message to include how much Platinum is needed to purchase an item.

Optimizations: 

• Made systemic micro-optimizations to core math routines.
• Made micro-optimization to game code.
• Made micro-optimizations to animation updates.
• Made systemic optimizations to framerate and memory footprint.
• Made systemic micro-optimizations to memory usage.

• Optimized memory footprint for all platforms.

General Fixes: 

• Fixed the ‘Dual-Mode Chamber’ and ‘Mounting Momentum’ Felarx Evolution III perks not working. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1325938-felarx-evolution-3-dual-Mode-chamber-mounting-momentum-are-not-working-investigating/page/2/#comment-12641949
